  Very ascetic of you.

  So I don’t just wake up as Kane, but as him as we’re landing on Stroggos and have to go through that whole ordeal haha. Kinda fucked then. I also wonder how I’ll be able to find love looking like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Easy Delivery Co. I'll just be a little car driving a kei truck around a mountain town.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Quake 4, so I’m Corporal Matthew Kane. Hopefully, post stroggification? Half human, half machine.

  80-20 rule still holds true, huh?

  Press and hold the mute button to mute your mic and to turn off sound output from the speakers on your controller and TV. Press the mute button again to return to the original state.

  PS5 Quick start guide, page 11.

  Afaik, it also can mute all PS5 audio, not just voice chat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How hopeless is getting a job with a CS degree?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re in the position to do so: try getting a job as a software developer for a year before going to college. If you’re able to demonstrate you’ve already worked on your own projects, you will be taken more seriously than cs majors fresh out of college who’ve only seen code in home work assignments. Do this to get to see how software development works as a career and see if you fit in it.
  You don’t generally need a degree to be a programmer and in this field, experience is often more valuable than a degree. What college can offer is connections and the opportunity to find your actual calling.

  Hey, we’re all broken inside. You don’t need to point it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'To own a Razer Artisan Keycap is to display one’s allegiance, a mark of belonging within the Cult of Razer' says the PR nonsense behind this $90 coil of snakes⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont particularly like Razer, but if there’s anything they do well, its marketing. They’re right… if they’re able to sell a key cap for 90 bucks, their marketing must have been so good in the past they created a literal materialistic cult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would I go about turning this into a power-generating wind turbine.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Won’t generate much electricity, but for fun, you could just direct mount a bike dynamo on to it and connect to a simple led. You could probably get it to work if you oil it up well. Can also buy a battery management board and connect to a battery so the light can work when there’s no wind!

  Alternatively, bore a hole down to the aquifer and let it pump water slowly with mechanical power. That would cost more though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Drop your unpopular opinions here because c/unpopularopinions is filled with popular opinions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I would raise all taxes to 100%.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disc drive needed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m actually considering going back to doing this… just with blurays.
  My data hoarding illness is getting out of hand and m-disks are starting to look attractive to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, you know, I wasn’t really around then. And I don’t believe in making fun of someone because their ancestors were dicks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I love it. Never understood the hate for the French. I sometimes mock their accept out of admiration (same with Dutch). It sounds so nice to me. Once came across a woman who spoke in a French accent in Overwatch, rolled her R’s forever and it sounded so attractive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pikachu⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe not “the people” who are doing the oppressing, but it worked when appealing to the individual.
  Society is a bit of a bitch… individuals hold their own beliefs, but when paired with other people, their beliefs get washed down and a singular belief takes hold.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you too young to remember these?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It probably had a good reason to shock you! /s.
  By design, SCART carries low voltage, not enough to shock someone. The device it was connected to could have been faulty and leaked higher voltage into the connector though. So its plausible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you too young to remember these?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  SCART was ahead of its time. You could control connected devices with it like HDMI CEC. You could daisy chain devices together with it. By the end, it could do 1080p!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is 23⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Truth. This is sadly something you learn after landing your first job, not before.
  My eye opening moment was seeing the technical guy at the interview light up when I said I’m open to learning their domain knowledge. I didn’t have a degree, but I made up for it by showing interest in the field by doing my own projects, as a hobby. I was the only guy in the department without a degree for a long time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the rarest Steam achievement you got?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t really remember it, but it doesn’t look that difficult… Image

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I play both of these and loved em. I also poured 50 hours into beating cuphead. Difficulty isn’t a problem of the depth of the game is a pool instead of a sea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just got arrested for a supposed DWI even though I blew a 0.0000000. Don't cops need to read your Miranda rights to you? I asked for a blood or hair follicle test and I was denied. WTH is happening?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Doctors do like to smoke 🤔

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I heard this being the case. Its very good game design.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally, I gave up at the first fight in Bloodborne (I have 40 min of gameplay). Never touched a souls game ever again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perfect Rating ⭐/5⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They often do criticize these movies based on what the movie is trying to say. They’re not comparing them to movies in other genres.
  Superhero movies are often formulaic, predictable, overly rely on CGI, have shallow stories and plots. Logan, The Dark Knight, Spider Verse etc. were praised by critics for not committing the same mistakes other super hero movies do. The criticisms describe what kept the movie back from being a truly great super hero movie, not what kept it back from being Citizen Kane.
  And even after all that, they’re still subjective opinions. You don’t have to agree with them on what a better super hero movie looks like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo says users voluntarily paid higher prices, have no right to tariff refunds | Nintendo says Switch buyers got what they paid for, urges court to dismiss lawsuit.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nintendo is legally right, but that doesn’t mean they are morally right.
  They’re always very tone deaf when it comes to communicating with their fans. They could have used this opportunity to gift people 50% off coupons on their digital store or some shit like that which would cost them nothing while gaining them community fervor.
  But time and time again, they’ve shown they’re the ones who dictate how they operate and consumers can either consume it or go away. Very conservative and a bit archaic if you ask me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you explain like I am a child terrorism without the whole good vs evil schtik? My sister in laws kid asked me about it. He is 9.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Plain and simple its violence against civilians to gain a political goal.
  The next question is going to be when is it considered political and thats a complex answer. That’s going to be the root of all controversy. You can give examples of attacks targeting civilians from around the world and explain the political motive behind them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former Valve writer says PlayStation killing physical discs is no conspiracy: "You, the consumer, have made your choice, and the choice is for digital"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, I made the choice for physical. I don’t own a single digital game on a Sony console. Don’t put this on me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I will keep recommending weird, old, and obscure films⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is one apparently (official) which got released recently-ish, like 5 years ago? Which confuses me, because I saw it in like 2014 and remember the fire extinguisher being after the rape (chronological). So now I don’t know if I saw some weird fan made cut or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I will keep recommending weird, old, and obscure films⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes… I didn’t have the heart to tell grandma it wasn’t the rapist who got puttied.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heh heh⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dump it in a 5l canister that I call my ‘waste oil’ canister. When its full, I take it to the recycling plant whenever I’m going there anyway.
