You and I must be using different Youtubes. Any time I look up an Elden Ring or Silksong boss guide video, the person recording it starts with a “This boss is actually really easy…”

My grandpa recorded absolutely everything on VHS in the 90s. He had so many bookshelves full of movies and shows he meticulously catalogued. I wanted to ask him if he ever actually watched any of them, but I didn’t want to break his spirit.

“Part out” was what I needed, thanks! It seems to be working on some level, though I definitely messed up somewhere. Gonna try again later on a PC when I get home.

Proton feels like they really want to be Google, but don’t have enough market share yet to enter the “removing ‘Don’t Be Evil’ from the mission statement” stage.

Yeah, I can handle incompetence. It’s the malicious exploitation that was getting to me. I don’t feel that any more with Linux. Give it time, I guess.

Is there a way to buy the pieces on bricklink without individually adding each piece to a cart? It feels like there should be a button for that, but I can’t figure it out.

The only game I could roughly follow was Elden Ring. The others I didn’t even bother to try, inscrutable messes all.

I’m mot convinced this isn’t an elaborate attempt at gaslighting me to think this game existed.

Every time I played a Pokemon game throughout the years, I thought “This time I’m going to fill the dex!” But there was always some you just couldn’t reasonably get so I always gave up. Big disappointment, it’s really the reason I didn’t play the last few.
It’s impressive you managed it in Gen 6.

If they thought it was an honor, why kidnap them? Surely they would come willingly?
- Comment on Paging SpaceCowboy 3 weeks ago:
I just feel like if they were acting honorably, they would have invited the victors instead of kidnapping them via what I assume was a cowardly ambush (based off the fact they have no memory of it), and freezing them until their loved ones were dead.

I watched the animated Predator movie the other day, and was miffed that
Tap for spoiler
they would kidnap people who won against their hunters, freeze them for who knows how many years (thereby effectively ending their lives as they know it) and bring them across the galaxy to fight for their lives again. Respect that the winner won you sore losers. Absolutely no honor.

I was also wondering why I kept seeing the same “Faith” email pop up over and over again. Makes sense if it’s a series, though I feel they should link to each other if so.

I read stuff like this and think “I would never supply my sensitive documents to an LLM!” But, like usual, I’m sure I’ll find myself without any other option in the near future.

Tbh, if I saw my dad absolutely fucked up after hitting my cape pen as a teenager, it would probably have rattled me enough to make me stop for a few years at least.

- Comment on Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras 5 weeks ago:
I realized recently that every other apartment in my building has those ring cameras on their front doors, meaning I’m being put in some database every time I leave my place. Why do they even need that? It’s not like strangers can get into the building, and packages all go to a special room.
Not really flock related, but still.

I bought a couple a friends some really nice cloaks once, but I don’t know if they actually wear them ever. Too afraid to ask.
- Comment on What was your social media path? 5 weeks ago:
When I was in school back in the early days, I tried typing a random “wherearemypants.com” and it led to this forum run by some random guy in Texas for him and his friends. I made an account and just insinuated myself into this group of adults, and honestly, it was the golden age of social media for me. Absolutely nothing was monetized, just people sharing links and chatting about stuff.
Eventually he shut it down and I ended up on myspace>facebook>reddit>lemmy.

The worst is when you’re still at work half an hour later than normal, and someone walking by sees you and thinks it’s a good opener to chat. “Oh wow you’re still here, huh? It’s usually just me etc etc.” I’ve had people stop to chat for 45 minutes and I’m just thinking “Do you think I’m still here because I don’t want to be at home?!”
- Comment on Anon is all smiles 1 month ago:
Also, when I smile, people frown and yell back
One time I was cashiering at a grocery store on Thanksgiving, only one to show up. There was a huge line of people buying a lot of stuff each, so even though I was the fastest cashier, it was a losing battle. Still, I kept my smile on and engaged each customer while working my hardest.
Then some asshole ten customers away started yelling things like “This is ridiculous, why aren’t there more cashiers? Hey! I’m talking to you! Answer me!” Like I had any pull on the people who didn’t show. He should have been yelling at my manager who was hiding in the back.
Decide to ignore him since no good would come of it. Then I hear “Stop smiling!”, which was so abrasive it literally stunned me. I looked at the line to see who was going to tell him to calm the hell down, and every person there was nodding along like “Yeah, I can’t believe this cashier has the gall to smile when we want to make him feel small.”
And just like that, suddenly I was in no hurry. Slowed down to about 1/4 speed and just glared at each person with no conversation whatsoever. Rude guy gets up there and starts in on some nonsense and I tell him “I’m a highschooler. I don’t have to pay rent. One more word out of you and I walk out on this job right now. No one else is here to check you out, but security is still here to keep you from leaving with anything today.” Still clearly upset, but he shut up.

Roughly agree.
Loosely related, I’ve been thinking recently that we really need to make it harder to get and keep a license. I’ve noticed a lot of absolutely terrible drivers don’t even realize they are driving badly. If they had to, say, pass a driving test every 3-5 years then someone would tell them exactly what they are doing wrong, and keep them from the streets until they fix it.
