It forces you to be patient. You fit the bill

Pay to play baby! Let’s reinvent the banking system by doing the same exact shit.

IMO, GPU prices have an impact. Modern gaming has a bad habit of not optimizing games relying on people getting newer GPUs for performance.
Mix that with the pre-order/early access monetization, and we are to a point where games have made their money before release, and beans counters don’t want to put money in QA because there is no quantifiable ROI (there is a ROI, but it is hard to quantify), which is a no-no in their world.
Indie games have a tendancy to be less GPU demanding, and thus, usually have a better performance experience
- Comment on I left negative feedback on ebay for dropshipping and the seller has messaged me four days in a row asking me to change it 2 weeks ago:
Dropshippers don’t advertise themselves as such.
- Comment on Let me tell you something, I haven't even begun to peak. 3 weeks ago:
My kids are still young, so it might change, but I hope they stay with with me forever.
I love them so much and I will be sad when they will leave home.

Yeah, no nuances here.

The IT paradox :
- “Why am I paying you when everything works?”
- “Why am I paying you when everything has gone to shit?”
You are right that vaccines worked so well because mostly everyone had them, and mostly everyone has to take them for them to work.
Village idiots got a support system and crossed the threshold where the herd immunity has diminished enough for outbreaks in communities.

I wish they would have shown me the top picture 15 years ago, it makes so much sense.
- Comment on Life goals 5 weeks ago:
Why is it so weird? How is it any different than a pucket pussy or a vibrator?
People have sex. Lots of people, lots of sex and as much different way to have sex.
It’s a toy made specifically for sex. Nothing weird about it.
- Comment on Life goals 5 weeks ago:
People gotta stop being weird about sex.

She had 10 children, she knows her way around.

Go back to your cave you fucking troll. You are the perfect example of why we should bring back public shaming.

I wish we lived in the world where this piece of shit would be trialed like the criminal scum he is.
But I have more chance winning the lottery.

For me it’s 2 things :
- Making a deck that works so well that it crushes everything. -Getting shit cards and making it works.
The first one gets me hooked, the second one keeps me going. It takes a long time to figure it out, as you put it.
- Comment on Same 2 months ago:
I mostly play indie games, but I sometimes play AAA games (Ghost of Tsushima right now) and I am glad that I have my rig that can get 90 fps @ 4k (with fsr).
It’s not because you don’t use it every single time that you play a game that it is a waste of money.
- Comment on Is it wrong to not have a disabled child solely to avoid forcing the child to suffer their whole life? 2 months ago:
No it is not wrong. Abortion, even of a healthy fetus, is not wrong and you shouldn’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
In states with heavy abortion restrictions, there is a surge of dumpster babies.
Instead of bringing a clump of cell to term only to abandon it, might as well just get rid of it altogether.
And let’s not forget that the lives of the immediate family are also impacted negatively.
Taking care of a child is a lot of work. Taking care of a child that has a disability is much more work.
- Comment on Why So Many Video Games Cost So Much to Make 2 months ago:
Not so much a preference, more how the human brain work.
Humans prefer what they know, so they will choose a brand that they’ve seen on TV over an unknown brand.
- Comment on I got into the wrong career lol 2 months ago:
Not only that, but all the political game involved in the academia is mental.
- Comment on what was the last game you played in 2024? 2 months ago:
Ghost of Tsushima on the PC. 90 fps (most of the time) 4K.
The gameplay is really to my taste, so I am planning on playing this one for a while.
- Comment on What MMORPG are you playing, and why? 3 months ago:
I haven’t played for almost two years. Are they making more PvE friendly?
- Comment on Anon hates smartphones 3 months ago:
Smartphones are a tool. They are inherently not bad nor good.
Social media ruined it by using algorithms to keep you glued to your phone as much as possible.
- Comment on Just do them 3 months ago:
A task in a vacuum isn’t that bad, but the reality is that there hundreds if not thousands of little fucking fuck little task that adds up pretty quickly.
Yeah, taking out the trash isn’t that long, but I have 50 other things to do also at the same time.

Weird fetish shit is much more palatable than any of the other things than you listed.
- Comment on The torque better not be too strong with this one 3 months ago:
Maybe I didn’t use them enough yet, but I bought some Wiha balled hex driver and I haven’t stripped a screw yet, and I use cheap screws.
I also had to dismantle my 3d printer hot end with a lot of weirdly placed screws and it wasn’t even an issue.
- Comment on The torque better not be too strong with this one 3 months ago:
Slotted screws are the proof that Satan is real.
- Comment on The torque better not be too strong with this one 3 months ago:
A good balled hex driver is such a joy to use. Somewhat align it with the screw, and you can use it at weird angle.

The day they can’t leverage their stock to get infinite loans will be the day that this isn’t a lie.
Otherwise, it’s a bullshit argument.

Good for you. My experience is that the program was geared towards people that would continue to masters and PhDs.
I had an exam every two weeks, hundreds of pages every week to read and the professors weren’t really available for us, and teaching assistant didn’t really give a shit.
The labs were mostly just math labs, with really specific applications.
My only real project was the end of program project that lasted a bit short of 2 years. And the professors that were supposed to help us and support us told us that the project would fail for a good part of a year and a half. And when the project was a success and gave exposure to the school, the same professors that gave us shit for almost the entirety of the project took the credit for a successful project.
If you wanted to do hands on engineering, you had to join extra curricular teams.
My opinion on the matter is certainly tainted by my awful experience, but I did a program to become a technician in my field before going to engineering school and it was much more appropriate for my learning style.
- Comment on Anon is an engineer 3 months ago:
I love engineering, I hated University. The framework of school is not for everyone and reading 300 pages of complex stuff every week for 4 years is boring to death and it isn’t for me, and for a lot of people.
School of all levels caters to one type of learning, and not everyone is good with that style.
- Comment on Meal prep 3 months ago:
You can probably find a second hand kettle for 5$ bucks. But if you don’t use it often, it might take too much space for its use.
But you already have the microwave, so unless your electricity is expensive, it doesn’t really make a difference.
