I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
no, it won't ;) contrary to what you people might think - I don't buy absolutely everything ... I only buy games I want to play (eventually ... maybe) .... also - I don't get out of my way to have each regional version of every possible game, lol

so you're the diet coke to his regular coke?

We took a peek at your game list times a few days ago.

You're the constant appearance on my activity feed :p. And last time I checked you were a bit short of 2K and that wasnt long ago. You're now at more than 2200. At this rate you will surpass me in a few months... And then JaseC ;)

You playing with a controller or kb&m? You can kind of cheat the system with a controller and stun lock most enemies and not have to burn through batteries as much. Then pretty much anything dies to 1 or 2 shots. Also getting the timing down on dodging makes the game remarkably easy even on Nightmare. Well unless it's something else that's not clicking for you :p

Controller, I'm not sure if I'm playing it right, like I'm not entirely sure if I'm doing damage or not most of the time, I know I could use the flashlight first to make the enemies "pop" then shoot them but I seem to run out of batteries quick before I could, and it takes quite a few shots to kill an enemy.

I think it's worth quoting their reasoning for it as well.

"Change your privacy-related settings"

Since version 0.9.8.2 (release notes).

This is necessary to be able to:

Disable "Prefetch resources to load pages more quickly"
This will ensure no TCP connection is opened at all for blocked requests: It's for your own protection privacy-wise.[1]
For pages with lots for blocked requests, this will actually remove overhead from page load (if you did not have the setting already disabled).
When uBlock blocks a network request, the expectation is that it blocks completely the connection, hence the new permission is necessary for uBlock to do truthfully what it says it does.
uBlock's primary purpose is to block network connections, not just data transfer. Not blocking the connection while just blocking the data transfer would mean uBlock is lying to users. So this permission will stay, and sorry for those who do not understand that it actually allows uBlock to do its intended job more thoroughly. A blocker which does not thoroughly prevent connections is not a real blocker.

Privacy Badger also requires exactly the same permissions. I want uBlock to also serve privacy-minded users first.

If prefetching had been disabled by default, this new permission would not be needed, but prefetching is unfortunately enabled by default, and under Privacy heading, which is itself hidden by default under "advanced settings".

924b9314-0845-11e5-8012-f67e4b1814cd.png


Also, the benefits of prefetching are probably marginal, and in the context of a blocker, the benefits could be negative, since a lot of useless connections would be made, just to be discarded after the browser find out the requests won't be made anyway. So do not fall for the "lost of major performance boost" claim I read elsewhere, this is just a silly and baseless claim.

See code:

chrome.privacy.network

iirc you dont do damage at all until you used your light to 'pop' them.

Yay, it's cold enough today to maybe try and play something.

Yay, the local Burger King is back after nearly three years.

Me: A Whopper Jr. please.

Cashier: With cheese?

Oh no no, not falling for that one.

Blinded by the luminous glory that is David Bowie's physical manifestation.
Alan Wake is a pretty terrible, horribly repetitive game

I still need to play American Nightmare, but yeah: Alan Wake was disappointing. Not bad, by any means. But highly repetitive and not the "Max Payne 3" I wanted.

Oh, Remedy. When will you give me Max Payne 3. Shame there isn't a Max Payne 3 out there. :(

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
uBlock & uBlock Origin are different thought.

Doesn't seem bad after explanation above.

Y'all should both read the quote I provided showing their justification for the setting, and a link they include to the source code.

Good to know.

What is ublock anyways, Is AdBlock Plus no good?

Lighter-weight, less resource intensive, and better in my experience.

But I've already grabbed my pitchfork and lit my torch and I don't want to waste it. Would you happen to know somewhere else I should lead my angry mob to?
 
No build-able vehicle or technical things in lego world yet.Will hold on till those are added(yes it is Alpha still).Also should i buy factorio?

That "l" key on my keyboard is broken. So its either I have to copy and paste your name from now on or its going to be iashman. Gonna take the easy route.
Ye but Jase never broadcasts and that makes me sad :(

I wants to see dem games!
I think he told me his internet isn't even good enough to play CSGO, I doubt he can broadcast anything even if he wanted to.

Gaming requires low ping and broadcasting high bandwidth.

At least, in theory he could have high bandwidth connection with high ping, which would be good for broadcasting but not gaming.

I want the Atelier games on Steam. I got Rorona on Vita, but I only got the bad end and never finished it (like every other Vita game in my possesion. I am a horrible Vita-owner).

Lighter-weight, less resource intensive, and better in my experience.
Ah, well, when I ever seee a ad on my pornsites know what to switch to.

it's been like 2 years that i can't unsee that stupid mole on iashy's closed eyelids
Gee, thanks. Now I can't unsee that.
