I like crazy. How can you not be crazy in a world like this? That’s a pretty sane reaction to me.

No. It’s a “the game is too grindy to be fun for me”-issue.

I’ve read at some other post that some smart TVs won’t work at all if you don’t connect it to the internet.
Read with caution, I haven’t verified this.

- Comment on Video Games Can’t Afford to Look This Good: The gaming industry spent billions pursuing the idea that customers wanted realistic graphics. Did executives misread the market? 3 weeks ago:
Just saw a video todax about how on steam roughly half of the best rated games are indie titles. Needless to say that the 2D graphics are not photorealistic.
Maybe, instead throwing money on graphics alone, focus on making fun games?

Isn’t the added cable resistance small enough to not cause issues so soon? In case you just chain a few ( < 10 ) together.

Deep Rock Galactic with about 1000 hrs.
Best Co-Op game I’ve ever played with a marvellous community and it’s own subculture. It has been my absolute favourite game for a couple of years.
Stopped playing though when they introduced the “flappy boots” minigame. I know it’s optional and there are mods to get rid of it, but somehow this has killed the entire game for me. Silly, but can’t help the feeling.
In German I would say “die Luft ist raus” about this. Literally translated: “the air is out” and describes situations where something totally lost its appeal and is now just “meh”, although it was (very) appealing before.
If you haven’t played it before and like co-op shooters: give it a try. You probably won’t regret it.

Hm okay. English is not my native language. I’ve checked this with a dictionary and found it to be an adequate description, even discussed this with ChagGPT. It pointed out that this can also be understood in the way you’ve described it.
What I meant were people who practise in esotericism, like briefly described here. Besides “stupid”, what do you suggest to describe such people?
Also, thanks for pointing that out!
- Comment on That's right! 1 month ago:
If you’re happy with your life, that’s perfect!
As people are usually social creatures, it’s only natural if someone if in truth not happy about this. There are exceptions of course.
However, my comment was totally misplaced and condescending. My bad. Didn’t think much about it. I’m truly sorry about this.
I’ve deleted the comment.
- Comment on That's right! 1 month ago:
You’re right. I’m sorry. I was just joking, but it’s not okay to do that by picking on someone who lives a harmless life.
I guess I felt a bit offended, since he sounded rather aggressive and condescending. But, not my business. Doesn’t affect me nor anyone else besides himself alone.
Thanks for pointing that out. I’ve deleted my comment.
- Comment on Intruder 1 month ago:
but beyond that whatever means necessary to protect himself is justified. No one should be worrying about the safety of their attacker when they are defending themselves
Are burglars usually murderers? Don’t they usually care about stealing stuff to make some form of profit out of that?
I don’t share your view. You don’t need to kill someone in order to stop some form of crime. Especially not if there is no or a low risk of bodily harm.
Self defence only goes so far as to inrerrupt and disable an attack. The mildest means possible are the preferrable ones. For example, if some wants to beat you up, you don’t go on and kill them after you’ve defeated them and they’re unconscious on the ground.
In this case, the best the kid could’ve done is to just run away and call for help. It would’ve been safer for himself and prevented that he possibly might have become a murderer.Self defence has limits. And for good reason. You can’t just do anything you want, just because someone attacks you. You do what is necessary and possible for you. Nothing more, nothing less. Otherwise you yourself become a culprit.

Isn’t “esoteric people” an accurate description?
- Comment on SHAME. 1 month ago:
Yeah, we’ve got those who promise themselves health benefits from drinking raw milk. I have the impression that this is mostly prevalent in esoteric people, as usual with such stuff.
But such beneficial claims of raw milk consumption appear to be not scientifically sound and are a myth.

you broke into my house dude you aren’t gonna be praised
Of course not.
This kid has every right to be proud, in this situation we are nothing but animals and he did exactly the right thing.
So is it right to put deadly weapons into the hands of children?
What if he had killed the burglar? Good thing to have on the conscience of a child, right?Don’t get me wrong. I totally understand that in extreme situations people should defend themselves. But was this an extreme situation which justifies these actions?
What the child said is already deeply disturbing:
“I told him I was going to kill him if he didn’t get out of my house,” said Chris.
And why the fuck do children have access to weapons?
he grabbed a 9mm handgun
Then there is this:
The intruder made it out the front door, but that’s when Chris started firing off bullets. As the intruder was about to jump a fence, Chris’s 12th and final shot hit the bad guy in the leg.
( Citations from: wptv.com/…/chris-gaither-11-year-old-boy-shoots-i… )
Intruder was outside, going away, and the kid started shooting.
The kid could’ve just ran away. Instead of trying to kill someone or getting themselves killed by such a behaviour.No. The kid shouldn’t be proud. Neither should anyone. That’s just fucked up. And raising kids to become possibly killers is not making it better overall.
He can be lucky not to have killed that man and that he didn’t get seriously injured.People can and should be better than this.
- Comment on Intruder 1 month ago:
and you’re naive if you don’t think violence is a potential outcome
Currently, of course. Point is, people can be better. On both sides. And instead of nurturing our compassion and collective support, we praise violence and let continue the wheel to roll which has already destroyed countless of lives.
- Comment on Intruder 1 month ago:
Imagine living in a society so deeply fucked up that some people feel the need to become burglars and others feel the need that attacking them with deadly weapons them is the only option.
And then imagine that this is celebrated.
Oh well…

- Comment on Anon doesn't tip 2 months ago:
I don’t tip as well. But I live in a civilised country where everyone get’s at least a tolerable minimum wage. No one is paying me extra money just for doing my job. So I won’t either. If they want more, they need to talk to their employer.
Would I live in the United States of Idiots though, where a severe lack of ethical economic behaviour is observable, I indeed would tip the waiters, as that’s sadly their financial lifeline.
- Comment on Why did it take so damn long for humanity to "learn" how to draw/paint realistic images? 2 months ago:
The artist needs to use the brain and translate a lot, and I mean an awful lot, of the information seen in the model (3d space) into 2d.
Close one eye or put an eyepatch on. I’d expect this makes 3D -> 2D transformations easier after a while.
