  I bought 32GB of DDR4 RAM for cheap (even for the time) just before the prices really started skyrocketing. They only had a few extras in stock and I strongly considered buying them out and trying to resell them. If I’d done so I could probably retire by now.

  That’s why the unit circle definitions of trig functions are better. “The y coordinate of the point on a unit circle 90 degrees anticlockwise from the positive x-axis” makes a lot more sense than “The ratio between the length of a line segment and… another identical line segment in exactly the same place”.

  I’ve always wondered whether the right’s obsession with AOC was because they couldn’t handle the cognitive dissonance of disagreeing with her politics while also desperately wanting to fuck her. I think I now have my answer.

  You’ve still got 50% battery remaining, you lying piece of shit.

  Whew, I sure am glad that somebody haphazardly crossed out that ‘u’. I might have had to read the word “drunk” otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your face after finding out that you were, in fact, flexible enough⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am very much not flexible enough, but I have to imagine it feels a lot more like sucking dick than getting your dick sucked.

  Some might consider that a bonus, but not me.

  Man - Bioshock having trouble running on modern systems makes me feel extremely old.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To this day I think Luigi’s Mansion 3 might be the game I’ve finished that I enjoyed the least. I loved the first one (and liked the second one well enough, even though it was a bit watered down for the 3DS), just so we’re clear.

  The simplified ghost catching mechanics made most of the game’s fights pretty boring, the Gooigi puzzles almost always boiled down to “I need the strength of two vacuums” or “I wish I could fit through this grate”. Also, the last boss was godawful.

  Most egregiously, I think LM3 might be the most filler-stuffed game I’ve ever played. The number of times you get an elevator button only for the game to go “Haha, no” really started to piss me off. The second time fucking Poulterkitty showed up, I actually looked up a walkthrough to gauge whether I’d completed enough of the game to warrant finishing it - I wanted to stop right then and there. I think Nintendo took the criticism that LM1 was too short to heart. The thing is, without all the padding, LM3 would still have been a perfectly reasonable length.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree. I was never a fan of them removing the fantasy elements either - it made the game feel so much more generic than the first (though this might be hindsight since I first played Quake 2 many years after it came out).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Drop your unpopular opinions here because c/unpopularopinions is filled with popular opinions⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a sweet spot. Unpopular opinions that get upvoted need to be trivial enough to not make anybody uncomfortable or angry.

  Something like “Toilet paper orientation doesn’t matter” is far more likely to be upvoted by somebody who disagrees with it than “Everything bad that happens to your children is your fault because you knew it was a possibility and had them anyway”.

  Exactly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's one cliche "Moral of the story" in media that you hate more than anything else?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The moral of every Hollywood Racism Movie^TM ends up boiling down to “We could eliminate racism if only every racist met a person of [RACE] that they actually liked.”

  Practically everything people say about imaginary numbers you could also say about negative numbers.

  Also… wrong about what?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How no-techy/"common" people know if a Open Source code is secure?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess the main thing is that it’s not just one person saying “I looked at the code and didn’t find any malware” - depending on the size of the project it could be millions of people saying that. Also, changes to programs generally have to be approved by the maintainer, so it can be pretty difficult to slip malicious changes in unnoticed.

  The arrangement isn’t perfect, but keep in mind that closed-source software also requires trust on the part of the users - It’s just that in that case nobody can vet the code.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Literally nobody⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, at least two billion people are Christian, so presumably they care. And that doesn’t even include the rest of us who get screwed over by Christian-conservative doublethink bullshit.

  It absolutely matters.

  Ignorance is not knowing things.

  Stupidity is refusing to learn things.

  Yeah, I’m never giving Nintendo another cent.

  I didn’t buy a Switch 2, but the people who did are Nintendo’s biggest fans, and Nintendo have just told them in no uncertain terms “Haha, get fucked, loser”.
