ok, what is snap and why should I care?

beaver is hilarious

I was interested until I heard that it’s a shooter/moba.

when will studios figure out that moba (like battle royale) is a mode not a genre? Congratulations, you made a shooter with only one mode and probably less than 10 maps.

Remember when unreal tournament shipped with literally hundreds of maps on disk back in 1999? Peperage Farm remembers.

honestly, i don’t expect an answer. New battery tech gets announced every year, claiming to revilutionize energy storage. None have made it to market in any meaningful way, if at all. Lithium batteries hit the sweet spot of price to performance, and nothing else can compete. Looking forward to the day that changes.

that sounds great, where can I buy one?

Now this is capitalism.

oh for fucks sake, don’t make me have to worry about the case of filenames.

It’s current year, I should never have to touch the terminal for anything. I don’t care that it’s powerful, my brain is already full of windows knowledge and I don’t want to have to google what command I need to perform basic functions. Everything needs guis. If there’s a gui, I can figure it out and also discover tools I didn’t know about along the way, which allows me to solve future problems without going insane.

That’s popular sentiment though, so how about one that I don’t see often: Add options to allow windows like behavior. For example, middle click paste is the bane of my existence. I should be able to change it to middle click scroll os wide, not just in firefox. I know that there’s a hacky workaround to kinda make it work, but it sucks.

As a person with a full time job, a significant other, and several hobbies, I just don’t have time to invest in learning a new operating system. I grew up with windows (95, 98, xp, 7, 10), so that’s what I’m familiar with. I recently switched to linux (mint), and it’s fine. Just getting started though is something that was rather involved, and I would never expect a normie to be able to figure out. If microsoft wasn’t insisting on making win11 a dumpster fire, I wouldn’t have bothered. Now that things are running smoothly, there’s some minor annoyances that I’d really like to change, and the prevailing sentiment from the linux community is “that’s just how linux is” or sometimes “here’s a hacky workaround that barely works in only certain controlled cases”. It’s better than it was 10 years ago, so there is that.

anyone else miss how you used to be able to simply set all the colors and fonts for things yourself? And it was easy. It wasn’t just light theme or dark theme and those are your only two options, but really whatever you want.

windows xp truly was peak windows.

(everyone should switch to linux, btw)

we don’t have a justice system, we have a legal system. Similar in structure, but different in purpose.

Rule no. 1: People are stupid. A person will believe a lie because they want it to be true, or they fear it might be true. A person’s head if full of information, most of it is wrong. People are also convinced that they are perfectly able to determine truth from lies, which makes them all the easier to fool.

Bonus points if you get the reference without googling it.

Anyone who is “baffled” is either lying or hasn’t been paying attention.

I like to link this video when the subject comes up.

While your statement is correct, it is also irrelevant to the current subject.

I am a genre pedant, probably more of one than you are.

Vampire Survivors is not a bullet hell, nor is it a survival game. It is a “survivors” game, called as such because Vampire Survivors is the game that inspired the genre. There are some elements in common with bullet hell games, hence why survivors games can also be called “bullet heaven”. It’s not that confusing.

When it first started, there really wasn’t that much to it. One “map”, a couple characters, a handful of weapons/items some of which had interactions. Barely even a video game.

Since then, there’s been systems added and fleshed out, more characters, more maps, more modes, more everything. Now it’s a fucking video game.

It was never finished, of course it looks bad

and hes gone, lol and good riddance

no, you’re not allowed to like the old one anymore. You must buy the new one. No questions, only buy.

You won’t buy the new one if you’re still playing the old one.

A decade ago, I believed in giving the benefit of the doubt whenever possible. Most people who are in their right minds want life to be better for everyone, but merely disagree on how to get there. I was a fool.

I still am one, but I’ve learned a few things since then.

It’s true that most people are good at heart. “Most People” is around 60% of the population.

People will believe lies because they want it to be true, or they’re afraid it might be true.

People will rather commit to believing a lie than admit to being wrong.

There have always been those who hate, and there always will be.

It’s commonly said that you should criticize beliefs, not people. Also that a person is defined by their actions not their beliefs. I disagree. Actions are guided by beliefs, and if a person believes something shitty then that person is going to do shitty things and is therefore a shitty person. That’s not to say that people can’t change. After all, I’ve changed into a sad, cynical, depressed sack. Other people can change for the better, so I’ve heard.

I’ve started paying attention to the ways that horrible people signal to each other in ways that normally aren’t recognized by anyone else. Symbols, slogans, special numbers, etc. If you know, you know. I know a few, and they’re everywhere. Sure, sometimes a tshirt is just a tshirt that the person wearing it thought it looked cool, without realizing what it means. Other things take effort, and can only be deliberate.

I don’t know how old you are, and it’s none of my business to know. You have a sense of empathy, which is good and you should nurture that. Garbage people will see it as a weakness and use it against you, don’t let them. Embrace life, seek strength without hate.

shit, I’m not even drinking tonight, how’d I get this lost in the sauce? Must be the sleep deprivation. Yeah, I’ll blame this one on sleep deprivation.
