European here, how often is it actually to hear gunshots outside in the US?

After July 4th, I saw a short where the guy said like "Ah, 4th of July, the only day where I have to wonder if it's gunshots or fireworks"

Just curious if this is like an exaggeration

Would you all mind if I did a daily SCP thing?

I'll start off with one of the cutest and most beloved: SCP-999, "The Tickle Monster."

He's just an orange slime that is free to roam around the site whenever he feels like it (besides between 9pm-10pm for sleeping). he brings up staff morale and stuff too.

He's a 1 metre tall and 2 metre wide (although he can change this at will) tickle-slime basically, just touching the slime will immediately give a euphoric effect and his favourite game is "tickle-wrestling" which is basically when he completely encloses a person from the neck down and tickling them until he's told to stop.

Quoting from the document, "though injuries may occur, SCP-999 has never been found to purposefully attempt to harm others, and will immediately back away and contract its body into a quivering mound while gurgling in a matter similar to a whimpering dog, seemingly 'apologizing' for hurting someone on accident."

Also he smells differently depending on the person, although always very pleasant. Can range from roses, to bacon, to laundry, play-doh, chocolate. All sorts of stuff.

Also he only eats sweets, with M&Ms being a documented favourite. Idk I just found this fact adorable. (also, NEVER feed him caffeine. Trust me.)

There's even a logfile of SCP-999 coming into contact with SCP-682. Now if you know anything about SCP-682, Addendum SCP-999-B will be of interest to you (it's at the bottom of the wiki page <3)

I'm an SCP nerd, AMA :D

I am a HUGE lore junkie when it comes to stuff like this. I'm pretty much an SCP Encyclopedia.

If you have questions about it or about me in general, you can ask them here :)

Also I'm deaf, incase you want to ask about that too!

Discord's moving to obfuscate private channel names and topics!

I'm not entirely sure how to feel about this, but I'm leaning towards this being a good thing. Private channels are meant to be private, and this was a huge topic for years.

There are plugins out there that show private channel names and topics/descriptions, however now they're moving to obfuscate these names by replacing them with the name ___hidden___

https://preview.redd.it/gknjyoev0a5h1.png?width=430&format=png&auto=webp&s=80d39e2ec67656753dd947f4b4fcad1875717456

As far as I know, this will become server-sided if it hasn't been already (there was a fix that you could do to change your status to this experiment to "uneligible," however I believe this doesn't work anymore due to the vast amount of people i see on the client mods' subreddits complaining that it doesn't work anymore)

Since this is server-sided, there is no workaround. I would personally wait about a month so that we can be sure this is fully rolled out before changing your private channel names or topics to something sensitive.

Is this a good or a bad thing in your all's opinions?

Be safe, and happy pride and men's mental health month! 💜

Is it possible to just play the game using a bluestacks emulator without the energy limitation?

I feel like the energy limitation is the only reason i don't want to play this game. I'm fine with grinding for money and gems and such but I really REALLY do not like the whole "5 games for a bit then you go watch youtube while you wait and completely forget about the game for a week" deal.

Hi, i'm remaking this post because there was a really heated argument in the comments about me not being able to afford $20 for Virtual Desktop. I will not argue about this anymore, I will not be buying Virtual Desktop.

If you make a comment telling me to just buy Virtual Desktop, I will block you, full stop.

and if you're NOT going to do that, here's the original post:

---

So, I use a Quest 3s headset and use Steam Link to connect to my pc's SteamVR.

But it feels like 60% of the time, one of the following happens:

The dashboard just doesn't load at ALL. I don't have SteamVR Home on, so I load into this grid space with mountains in the background, but the dashboard just does not work at all, i can't open it, recenter, or even toggle the dashboard through the app on the desktop.

It loads fine, everything works properly, but as soon as i open a game, the taskbar of the dashboard disappears and there is nothing I can do to get it back

Steam Link just refuses to connect, saying "An unknown error occurred with Steam Link. Try restarting Steam Link." and the funny part is, i literally have to restart my ENTIRE HEADSET to get it to work again. Just restarting Steam Link doesn't work.

My internet is fine, my pc can handle VR, i have over 1k hours in VRChat and these issues were, whilst existent, NOT AT ALL this frequent.

Can someone PLEASE help me. I feel like throwing a controller :sob:
