John Carmack also loves beat saber IIRC and I hear he’s pretty smart

I will never understand how HOAs became so prominent in “the land of the free” where private property is basically sacred. Then again I’m not American.

- Comment on Cat vs Dog 4 days ago:
My cats who stay inside don’t attack me either. I do try to play with them daily but that’s about it, they mostly keep each other entertained, or the younger, more playful one comes to yell at me (or even starts tossing his favorite “fetch plushie” at me sometimes) when I haven’t played with him enough

I’ve been on a Zomboid bender too with my friends group. Never ever let your chicken coop reach 100% dirtyness, and check the water as more chicks hatch because it will start draining fast at some point, and if they don’t have water they will run away/disappear

The CEO was doing the heavy lifting through his socials, when I was still following them. It really is kind of a cult

It doesn’t even look good. I understand throwing 5 grands at a really nice piece of craftsmanship made with expensive materials but at this price it better look amazing

Hey you were 14 once. I was a sucker for their aesthetics at that age. Still think some of their stuff looks cool but it’s usually too expensive. But their more affordable mice haven’t really let me down yet so I might buy the next one from them again, if the current one doesn’t let me down too fast

It’s really hit or miss with the mice. All of mine lasted several years or more but I know some models are pretty bad. I had a copperhead that lasted a while, then a naga “green” that didn’t last very long but I could probably fix (I think the PCB inside came off its fixations and then some soldering broke) but to be fair it did travel across the Atlantic ocean and back. My current naga with the magnetic panels has been going strong for some years.
Their gamepads are junk though, a good old 360 controller feels better and lasts infinitely longer. I’ve also owned a few pairs of kraken headsets which were comfortable but overpriced and not durable enough. Then again the other gaming brands aren’t fairing much better on that front (I currently have a corsair virtuoso I got as a gift, it’s ok but the planned obsolescence ear pads are driving me nuts). The keyboards look like they’re gamer status symbols more than anything else, just like the laptops. I got a cheapo mechanical keyboard from some random brand and it feels better than the 200€+ razer keyboards I’ve tried.

Allegedly it was originally horizontal and the angled blade was actually Louis XVI’s idea. So, good on him for making his own death less painful I guess

- Comment on The End of Ownership. Sony’s announcement has fans worried they might never truly own their beloved games. 1 month ago:
I changed the password to all my accounts (the ones still in use, and all the remotely important/“meaningful” security-wise) before they somehow got access to this one. I just got to see them bounce off a few others, which is how I guessed they were in Brazil, from the related security mails infos.
I used a different, secure password for every account this time. Idk what I could have done better and it seems to have worked for all my other accounts so far.

I have no data to confirm this but I’d wager it’s disproportionately kids using that kind of stuff. I think the vast majority of adults who want to look at some titties or whatever are perfectly happy cranking it to one of the millions of freely available pictures and videos out there.
Hell, last month I had to factory reset some kid’s phone because they downloaded some “undressing app” that obviously turned out to be malware. I’ve helped adults and seniors with their tech before and they do dumb shit too but I’ve never seen one do that

- Comment on The End of Ownership. Sony’s announcement has fans worried they might never truly own their beloved games. 1 month ago:
Sony is so bad at digital ownership that it was apparently easier for some dude in Brazil to claim my account than for them to double check I didn’t move halfway across the globe overnight. Also the recovery process is absolutely terrible. It’s literally the only moderately important account that guy was able to “hack” into (and I did reset the reused password after it got leaked but I guess the guy was able to force his way through customer support simply by knowing the old password and the mail address (that they never had access to, mind you. It’s still secured and regularly checked).

I know the meme arrows come from 4chan dude. But this is Reddit atheist behavior. Bro is probably the author of the “euphoric” quote
- Comment on Anon ruins christmas 2 months ago:
I used to be big on atheism but I do think it is also a belief system now. I realized that when a christian friend asked me “if we witnessed something that is indisputably an act of God, would you still believe he doesn’t exist ?”
So, anyway, I say I’m agnostic and that I really dislike organized religion now.

Knowing he was only playing that match because some fascist paedophile pulled a favor from the other most corrupt person in the world had to affect his mental state, if he has a modicum of self respect, that is.
