Anyone else unable to download various specific mods in the mod manager? It just says "error downloading mod" for me. It will not let me download cheaters ring even though i already had it once. It constantly errors out.

How the hell did the character get so viral? I've tried watching the skits several times to see if maybe I'm missing something, but for the life of me, I can't seem to see it. Is everyone just biased because it's Tom Hanks? Or is it actually hilarious, and I'm just struggling to understand the humor? Fall/Spooky season is my absolute favorite time of year, but am I just a buzz kill?

But nobody knew the serial killer was there, with a real chainsaw posing as a scare actor.

I saw a post about someone making a "controversial" opinion (their words) about liking a game everybody fell in love with. It was a well-known, widely loved, and highly praised videogame that is very good (fires of rubicon). Then, a few hours later, after we called them out on it, they deleted the post.

I usually browse rdx to stay up to date with my favorite things: games, halloween, steam deck, etc. Today, im going to bitch about the fo76 sub, and the steam deck sub. Im so, SO tired of these posts.

Fo76: so many fucking annoying posts of people jacking themselves off and farming karma. "To the level 14 player whos collectron i pillaged" blah blah blah "i didnt know you were only level 14" blah blah blah "i left you 1000 caps as an apology and im glad you could get them" blah blah fucking blah. We all know you're just jerking yourself off and farming karma. Shut the FUCK UP and stop clogging the sub reddit for actual good posts.

And steamdeck? This sub can fuck off to the furthest reaches of hell. I want tips, tricks, game performance reports, steam deck news and tech support. I dont want to see 1000 pictures of people holding their steam deck alongside some phoned in bullshit about how they're LOVING their steam deck! Congrats! You're using the device as intended! Now shut the fuck up! Fuck off! Although, my disdain for that place is in part because of the garbage, power abusing mods, these fucking posts are just karma whoring mind rot in my opinion.

And yes before you ask, i do in fact feel better now that i got that out.

Heres my take: Ruby, her dog, was laying down in front of the basement entrance. Amanda, on the phone and not likely paying attention, enters the room from the "north" room we see in the chair photo. She trips on ruby, ruby out of surprise goes running into the chair at the table, knocking it over, her phone goes flying and in an attempt to recover, she puts her hand out to brace against the wall by the basement door. She misses her mark in the midst of her fall, and winds up shifting all her weight meant for the wall, towards the stairs, sending herself careening downwards. Her forehead hits the piggy bank and she falls again. She starts bleeding badly. She struggles to stand after the fall but manages to do it eventually, and stands at the foot of the stairs before succumbing to the blood loss and lying on the ground.

This is the only way I personally think the accident theory could work. She was high and disoriented as it was, you add traumatic blood loss to the mix and you are going to fall over very quick.

Its rainy, cooler and theres been a constant breeze with mostly an overcast sky. Autumn and Halloween decorations are slowly, slowly starting to pop up on shelves, and there is already a spirit halloween up and running in Gaylord, with one in Petoskey building up and preparing to open in a few weeks. Youtube videos are also starting to pop up, touting "Spooky Season is on it's way", and as we get closer to fall, halloween and autumn themed commercials start to air, and halloween themed events both in real life and videogames start getting detailed and eventually, started. I subscribe to a lesser known Youtuber who calls himself "Tampa Jay". No tricks, no excessive budgets, just a chill dude who loves the season with absolutely no drama, Just Jay giving behind the scenes tours of various "haunts" that will be coming later in the season (he eventually starts filming full on walkthroughs of haunted houses later into the fall). As soon as I see him post his first "spooky season" video, I immediately consider it very early, yet the start, of the official Spooky Season. As luck would have it, he just posted a video or two. So in my eyes, its finally begun. Summer is winding to a close and each day we get closer to the beginning of Autumn. Its coming, and im very excited. Do you consider the spooky season "officially started" in August? If not, when do you consider it "officially" started? Sorry for the long post, i just needed to get that off my chest. I have no idea why i love this time of year so much, or why it makes me feel so good inside. Am i the only one that feels like this, at least on this level? October through December, (huge fan of the holidays too) seem to be the only time im truly happy and at peace. I feel this way about Christmas and Thanksgiving too, but with autumn and halloween, i seem to peak.

Aiming in 3rd person is terrible. The reticule is literally blocked by the mech body and the only way to aim with it (at least without guessing and hoping you have things like the small sentinels targetted) is to try to maneuver things to create a gap between the arm and cockpit. And in cockpit view aiming and moving feels super sluggish. These two things have been around for years and no matter how many times I've reported it, it is ignored by HG. I've tried mods to fix it and they dont....quite function well. I found one that did fix it, it was amazing, but it just crashes the game now. Such a bummer. Anyone else bothered by this? Trying to mine with it in 3rd person is just as bad. These two things are the only reason i never pilot the mech. I know the reticule kind of fixes itself eventually during mining and combat but it still sucks. I just want a persistant, correct over the shoulder view at all times with it tbh. My immersion hates it.

Technically, it starts early to mid September, but eh. Anyone else getting hyped all over again?

For context: I work security at a Golf/Ski resort. We are told to be "proactive" with noise complaints, and I was trained to give 3 strikes, Strike 1: friendly warning. Strike 2: More serious warning, followed with a noise complaints fee. Strike 3: Escort off the resort.

Back in February, I received a write-up for a customer complaint claiming I beat on his door, told him he was "being a dick," and that I told him to "Shut the fuck up " and that I told him I'd administer a noise complaints fee if he didn't quiet down after designated quiet hours. Apparently he was "so pissed off" he sat in the lobby for 2 hours to "avoid trouble"(on camera apparantly) and then left early due to my actions, and we had to refund his entire stay.

Here's the thing, though: he lied through his teeth because that never happened (at least the way we interacted. They never showed me this video of the guest in the lobby) .

Here's what actually transpired: The front desk called me, and said room 1017 was complaining about noise down the hall. As security, it's my job to handle that stuff. I asked his neighbor to quiet down, politely, and received no issues. However, the guest who complained was actually being much louder. I could hear him blaring music, his kids laughing and yelling, and a bunch of banging coming directly from his room. I was told by my boss to be "proactive" about noise complaints to prevent any complaints from happening and that I should get them under control beforehand. I was told that even if there were no complaints, if I heard noise like this, I was to issue a strike. So I did just that. I gently knocked on his door. He asked what the issue was and extended his hand to me (I shook it). I politely informed him of our noise policy; I didn't even issue him a strike. All I said was that it was after quiet hours, and then I kindly asked him to quiet down. I told him I didn't want to ruin his stay, and that while no complaints for him existed, I wanted to avoid any potential issues, and then I politely told him about our 3 strike process, and made it clear that he wasn't getting one, but that I would have to if he got a complaint later. He said, "Ok, ok, sir, I don't want any trouble. I'll make sure to quiet down." I smiled and said it was all good and that I wanted him to enjoy his stay. Then he closed his door, and I left. That was the extent of things.

So during the write up my boss told me they had no camera footage or witnesses to this event, but he "did some research" and apparently I brag about being aggressive to guests to other employees, and that the guest waiting in the lobby and leaving early was an "extreme reaction". He also told me, "we have NEVER done noise complaint fees."

He asked if I remembered that night. I crossed my arms and focused on his filing cabinet to think, and apparently, he "felt threatened" (???) by that, which he said was more proof I was lying and that I was "unusually aggressive." It devolved into an argument. I browsed the SoP book (security officer protocols) a few weeks later and it said, right there in the book we are told to follow, that we DO give out noise complaints fees, and I pointed that out to both my bosses and was told they'll "change it". It was, however, never changed and is still there to this day.

Fast forward, and I go from working 3 shifts a week to 2 to 1 to none for a whole month. I only recently started working again after asking if I was going to be scheduled. Plus, I specifically asked the day of the write-up if I could use my personal car to patrol. I was told yes. I've seen other officers do it, my managers do it, even the owner said it was OK. For 4 months, I was using my car with no issue. It's hard to miss, I'm in uniform, people know it's me driving, yet suddenly, tonight, my boss told me he "had no idea" I was using my car all this time, and that it "wasn't allowed". I told him even the owner said I could, and that all we needed were magnets to slap on our cars, which I called my manager for, and he mysteriously didn't remember the conversation. Am I being singled out here? I'm always the last to know of any changes as well.

I work in security at a northern michigan ski/golf resort. The resort spans 2 properties and has a combined total of roughly 3000 acres. As you might expect, it can be a tough job at times, with drunks, noise complaints, safety issues, etc but wtf do you do when your job is mostly just tough for simply feeling "creepy"? There's a chunk of buildings on the main property that have wigged me out since day one of my employment. The buildings in question are the restaurants (3 in one building) at the top of one of our ski hills, the daycare (located at the top of another one of our ski hills), both our ski services and ski rental buildings (both buildings are located at the bottom of one of our ski hills), the cafe, and our convention center, along with our shop on the north property (also creeps me out), which sits amidst 4 massive golf courses. It started with me hearing a mans voice in the convention center that sounded nothing like any of my coworkers there with me, then a few weeks later a loud BANG I heard when patrolling the convention center one night alone. At first, I thought nothing of it until one slow night when I decided to do some digging into the resorts past. It turns out that at the time, there were 4 deaths on or associated with the resort that i could find either through google or word of mouth. The original owner was dead and apparantly "shows up" in the convention center, rarily. One skier died on the bottom of one of our ski hills (the one located by the daycare), one death was an employee who worked ski patrol (they have an office in the cafe that rests between our ski hills) that was off site, and one was a guest who died on one of our courses over on the second property due to hundreds of bee stings after hitting a ball into a thicket of trees. These areas creeped me out already, but now they're even creepier. Then, a weird stretch of deaths started occurring, starting last September 20th, in the restaurant building, which I was part of. A guest choked to death, and we couldn't save him. Then, a dishwasher died in the breakroom of the building, another employee died off property who worked in the spa of our main hotel, and then another employee, who was a cook in the restaurant building, suddenly died off property. Each death occurred almost once every month. Is this place cursed? Haunted? Both? I don't know, to be honest. The entire place just creeps me out now. I don't know where else to put this on Lemmy, so here I am. Is this shit weird, or am I overthinking it?

What's the lore here? Erebus and Canto basically trap the souls of the dead they kill and banish the "soulkilled" to beyond the black wall right? How are these rogue AIs using "dark energy"?
