Crystals do fix negative energy in a very simple way ! Feeling negative ? Just look at a crystal, crystals are pretty. Now you feel less negative, ta-dah !
I have multiple salt lamps for this reason. The magic of being a very pretty glowing crystal works wonders on me when I feel down x)

WiFi uses all three. (Yes, even vibration, AFAIK the clocks inside both computers use piezoelectric quartz crystals)

I can’t believe someone made this waffle iron and didn’t make a YouTube video about making it. It has to be a Photoshop x)
- Comment on Fewer People Playing Fortnite Is Just One of Epic's Many Problems, Analysts Say 1 day ago:
I checked out of Fortnite when the brand partnerships started. I really liked the first few seasons though…
It felt like the game had a strong identity that was challenging PUBG’s nonsense. No complicated inventory, just 5 slots. 1 or 2 weapons per category with very well defined playstyles, no incomprehensibly complicated weapon mod system on top. Building is very cool and raises the skill ceiling so high too !
And the style was cartoony and silly : you don’t get cars, you get shopping carts ! Characters have no voices, the “laugh” is a donkey sound !
But when the brand deals started coming, they started wilfully throwing away their identity to replace it with recognizable IP. So I quit.

I buy my games used at the store ! Sometimes that’s even better value than Steam sales !

The result looks more like a photograph than the input, that’s all I’m saying. I absolutely agree that every important aspect of the image is getting destroyed !

Yes ! They will unironically send you messages full of “it’s not X, it’s Y” and use lists everywhere when it’s not appropriate at all 😅 It’s amazing to me that they think they are still writing in a perfectly normal way
- Comment on We Spoke To Game Devs And All Of Them Hate DLSS 5: 'What The F***, Nvidia?' 1 week ago:
Yes, but MMOs spend that time on the 1% of players that bring in over 50% of the revenue. Not on a feature everybody hates, and that doesn’t make money, just because NVIDIA says so.
- Comment on We Spoke To Game Devs And All Of Them Hate DLSS 5: 'What The F***, Nvidia?' 1 week ago:
I think the NVIDIA people just saw that it’s «more realistic» and that was good enough for them. And, to be fair, it is.
But they are so drunk on AI that they missed the inconsistencies, the fake imaginary lights, the impossibility of controlling the result, the random addition of makeup, the fact it fucks up color balance and contrast…
And the COST !? Two 5090s when most people couldn’t even afford one !? Even if the results were perfect, just forget about it ! No sane developer will spend any money on a feature less than 1% of their players will even experience, let alone enjoy.

As much as this sucks, it exists because a (stupid) person put (misguided) effort into it, and there was still something valuable in that.

- Comment on What is Roblox teaching children about capitalism? 3 weeks ago:
In Brookhaven I usually break into people’s houses by exploiting the sleeping bag and the ladder.
I have a “cardboard box” outfit made especially for that purpose so that I can hide and look like a prop.
People get exceedingly mad when you rob their house’s money safebox, even though that doesn’t actually take any money from them in-game at all, and I think that’s hilarious.
- Comment on Xbox Project Helix may cost $1,200 with massive performance upgrades 3 weeks ago:
I don’t understand why people still buy consoles. There’s used to be so many reasons to do so, that are all evaporating away…
- Convenience, plug and play…
- Much cheaper hardware
- Games optimised for that hardware
- Unique features for each generation
- Cool exclusive games
- Physical, resellable games Everything is evaporating away, I don’t think there is a point anymore.

The first one was an excuse to get a look at some virtual ass.
Now I don’t necessarily object to that, but maybe also put a well-made story in there, too ? Bayonetta is also an excuse to get a look at some virtual ass, yet no one objects because it makes sense in-universe.

- Comment on Xbox CEO Asha Sharma shares her gamertag — what it reveals 5 weeks ago:
I’ve never cared for Xbox but at least it had a personality before Xbox One. An annoying, idiotic personality that I thoroughly disliked, but it had a personality nonetheless. It was the “fratbro” of the pack.
Ever since Xbox One though, the fratbro graduated and suddenly became the most bland and boring corporate guy you’ve ever heard of. And as every corporate guy nowadays, he now has caught the AI brain rot.
