I have some kind of allergy to the seemingly most common perfume scent. I remember getting massive headaches riding in the car with my mom as a kid, my gf/wife wore it for a while too until I told her I thought it gives me headaches. One of my coworkers would spray it right at her desk in a large quantity until I (as nicely as I could) asked her to do it away from the desk as the smell was very intense, which she did oblige.
Don’t know what the point of this was lol

I miss my manual a little bit sometimes, especially for shorter drives it could be fun.
Long drives with frequent speed changes, traffic or hills kinda sucked though. I had a pretty crappy Kia though lol

Prey was sooo good.
Sucks for the people who wanted a continuation of the original tho.

You seem to misunderstand and assume my intentions and thoughts and it’d take a lot to unravel so I won’t.

Yeah completely agree, I like trees and don’t want them completely gone or anything.
- Comment on Liquid Trees 4 weeks ago:
If it’s actually more efficient then trees, could be a good idea. Saw a 51/49 video where he explained the urban development in the US requiring only male trees be planted leads to increased pollen levels and has made the “allergy season” 30+ days longer over the past 50 years or so.

Ha yeah, that’s how I got the elites functional again, took it apart and did it directly at the button, so far so good after several months.
The Xbox one/core controllers though it was usually part of the thin plastic bit that connects the bumpers (it’s all one piece for some reason…)
- Comment on Microsoft is raising prices on Xbox consoles, controllers, and games worldwide 4 weeks ago:
I blame Skyrim/Fallout and Dark Souls/ER, so much bumper pressing in those games.
I also use them A LOT, even being a PC gamer lol if it supports controller, that’s how I’m playing it.
I do think where I comfortably press it probably has to do with it.
If you think I’m like throwing them around or doing crazy stuff like that, I don’t haha.
- Comment on Microsoft is raising prices on Xbox consoles, controllers, and games worldwide 4 weeks ago:
Wish I could agree, but the consistently broken bumpers really irritate me.
I have gone through probably 20ish Xbox controllers, the 360 controllers were the most durable (except the stick rubber bit) whereas the core and series controllers and even my elite 2 controllers have all had the bumpers break or otherwise stop functioning.
I replaces the bumpers several times manually, then with the elite 2 they changed the design but now it breaks at the actual button instead of the flimsy plastic piece like on the core/series controllers.
Luckily putting some ISO on the button and throughly cleaning it along with sticking a small piece of paper near the actuator seems to have fixed it for several months.
I would love a solid controller with Xbox style layout (particularly the thumbsticks) replaceable sticks and 4 back paddles. I think the Playstation TouchPad would also be a welcome addition for PC navigation or steam input mapping.

It’s a common way to say someone was dupes by something, “they bought it” meaning they fell for it.
The point being GOP was only anti big-tech in rhetoric, there was antitrust brought under the Biden admin. wbur.org/…/biden-ftc-antitrust-regulation-consume…
He is either lying, or not paying attention.
- Comment on If you're still on Lemmy... 5 weeks ago:
The problem with this, is if he was paying attention AT ALL, it’d be clear that the republican stance “against big tech” was always a lie. The fact he just bought their BS is enough for me to not trust the company.

Fair enough, it is annoying having to go to each individual discord to find answers.

Their argument (from my recollection) mostly revolved around their lack of control, they were upset that they could no longer delete all their content off nexusmods.
The sad reality is the reason it was brought forward was due to how frequently mod authors would throw hissy fits and delete their mods.
Wabbajack (precursor to collections and I’d wager still superior for Beth games) mod lists frequently ran into this issue. In many cases it equated to many many hours of work to fix, assuming it wasn’t an essential mod.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Mods Have Already Been Published Online 5 weeks ago:
Thunderstore is actually excellent for its ease of use, making a mod list to share with a friend is as easy as export profile code.
Where it absolutely fails is any kind of conflict resolution, vortex has it but mod organizer imo is way easier to use (and consistently works) in that regard.
Not to argue on the drama, it was stupid and I fully side with nexus on their reasoning.

It’s still a thing unfortunately, one could argue they’re attempting to make modding profitable for modders, but of course they get a cut too.

To your point though, I haven’t tried it again in several months, just ran into several issues and swapped back for as long as I can lol
