- Comment on Is it "Their name is Trevor," or "Their names are Trevor" if you know 2 Trevors? 1 week ago:
No! He just hated the job. Thank you for that, I got a good laugh. He came from a very structured place, where he had a very specific job. We were much smaller, and the scope of our positions covered a lot more, and our workflow was not what he was accustomed to.

Doug 2 was technically Doug 5. But we didn’t have a descriptor for him. Well, we could have called him “Blood Pressure Doug” but that’s kind of insensitive. And he wasn’t around long enough to figure out a better one.

As somebody who worked in a place with 5 Dougs, I would say their names are Doug. Beyond that, they get descriptors. Angry Doug, Cool Doug, Vac-Former Doug, Smiley Doug, and Doug 2.

I’m sorry, but I’m just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be
But just broke we promise, up love because
My broke to doesn’t, my broke to doesn’t you. Forever.

I’m cool with the older stuff. They are dead to me now, but I still use my PS1, PS2, PSP, and Vita. Not going to pretend like those weren’t quality products. Especially the PS2.
- Comment on Finally PS6 4 weeks ago:
Not using that until it gets the Noctua fan mod. Distinctly remember that sound.
- Comment on Hands-On with Retroid Pocket Duo Lite; Not Quite Magic, But Close 4 weeks ago:
Always appreciate your reviews. Don’t know if I missed it in your article or not, but does the top screen function like the Retroid dual screen add-on? Where you can pick what screen to launch apps on by long-pressing the icon?
I wish they had gone with recessed sticks like that on the Nova, it would make it so much more pocketable. It’s about PS Vita sized, that fits easily in my pocket. The R36S has recessed JoyCon style sticks, and I Iove that thing. I am not putting the Nova in my pocket with those sticks, so I put the bump back on it, and got a TPU shell for it with even bigger bumps. Might as well make it comfy if it’s not portable.

Oh, man. I’m sorry to hear youre having such a bad time with it. I’m a mechanical engineer, and love it. I only have a bachelor’s, though. So maybe I got out of school while it was still fun. It took me a couple years after graduating to get something in my field, I came out of school during a recession. I worked 3rd shift on an assembly line those years. Good luck, and I hope you enjoy Mech Eng at some point.

I’d say no. I have a separate router with no internet access for my XP LAN gaming.

- Comment on #StopPayingGames 4 months ago:
I don’t even remember the last game I bought that required an internet server. If I can’t host a local game or private server for multi-player, I’m not interested. Of course, I only buy maybe one game a year, and it’s never anything current these days.
- Comment on Am I just bad at games??? 4 months ago:
Dude, I bought Fallout 4 at launch. I still haven’t beaten it. You’re just taking your time. Sorry about the crashes, that’s super frustrating. But I can relate, I remember New Vegas at launch.
- Comment on Borger for scale 4 months ago:
I love 3. It changed video games for me forever. While New Vegas is still my all-time favorite game of any series, 3 is right up there next to it. And I have no way of measuring the hours I poured into it.
- Comment on Anon awakens something 4 months ago:
Isn’t that the inspiration for the song Mein Teil by Rammstein? Good song.
- Comment on Is there such a thing as a DVD player with a USB input where I can access the USB drive and skip the disk drive to watch movies on USB stick? Any good deals on them if they exist ? 4 months ago:
Yeah, no problem. I have 3 of these Samsung BD-J5700 players. Found 2 of them at thrift stores, cheap. At one time, I had a hard drive I just left plugged into it with a bunch of shows and downloaded YouTube videos. It worked great. Now, I just have a PC plugged in and my players are just collecting dust. But if you can find one of these, they work great for playing off USB.

Even if it is feasible, I still encounter twice as many people as I want to on a daily basis. I want to live on Solaria, from Isaac Asimov’s The Naked Sun.
- Comment on Anon lives the dream 5 months ago:
Sometimes I miss those days. So little responsibility. Renting was so much easier than home ownership. Living alone was way easier than having a family. All I HAD to do was go to work, and pay my bills. All of my time, all of my money, all up to my discretion.
Not to say I don’t love my family or my house, and I would never trade them to go back. But sometimes, if I could go back in time for just a week… I think I’d be really refreshed. A time vacation.
- Comment on Anon lives the dream 5 months ago:
I knew a guy like that. I used to drive him to/from work all the time after he got his DUI. When my apartment flooded, he let me crash for a few days. He had a couch, a coffee table, a huge TV, the same computer my parents had when I was in middle school, and a mattress on the floor. That was his entire apartment. Except he could afford furniture, he just spent it all on women and booze. Wonder what he’s up to now.

Put your elbow down over the foot, locking it in place. Then, tickle until they surrender. Or perhaps longer. This is unacceptable behavior.
- Comment on Is the "everyday stuff" supposed to feel normal? Do y'all just have a parent do things then when you're supposed to be the adult you panic? 6 months ago:
I have the opposite thing going on. I want to do everything myself, and kinda resent it when people offer to help or give adviced if I didn’t ask. I want control over the things I do. Probably because my mom was a bit of a helicopter mom.
I’d say it is a little intimidating to do things the first time, but there’s a first time for everything you do, and it will eventually become normal to you.

Yes, for sure.

- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
Yes, agreed. Why is this even in shitpost? I wonder if h0rni has ever tried a percolator. I don’t mind it while I’m camping, but when I’m home I prefer a Moka pot. I also want strong, bitter coffee. I can’t stand instant, but sometimes I will add it to my wife’s weak-ass brew. I can see through hers! I should never be able to see through my coffee.
A couple years ago, I got the French press kit for my Firemaple X1 to take camping. It’s super light and breaks down flat. The kit, not the X1 itself. But it’s so much more work to clean than a percolator! The grounds stick to the rough texture of the titanium walls, and I typically end up dribbling it over the edge and down the outside when I pour. That stains the neoprene sleeve and I have to then wash that. I’m thinking about going back to a percolator for camping, but that is so much extra room I’m already used to not needing to account for.
I suppose I could just bring my 2-cup Moka pot, that would be the happy medium. It’s smaller than a percolator, and easier to clean than the French press. The issue there is that if I’m not solo camping, I typically share the coffee. And nobody I go with likes the Moka pot.
Tell me about your coffee!

Oh, yeah. For sure. They’re both snooty, but it’s diametrically opposed snootiness. Screw them both.
- Comment on Why is classy and fancy being called "Old Money aesthetic" 6 months ago:
Example: Having an LV handbag that you have to remind people you never set on the floor, and you call him Louis when you refer to it. Instead of, you know, just using it like a normal fucking purse. That’s new money.
