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.

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? 1 week 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 1 week 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 weeks 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 weeks 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? 4 weeks ago:
I haven’t played for almost two years. Are they making more PvE friendly?
- Comment on Anon hates smartphones 4 weeks 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 5 weeks 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 5 weeks 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 5 weeks ago:
Slotted screws are the proof that Satan is real.
- Comment on The torque better not be too strong with this one 5 weeks 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 1 month 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 1 month 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.

Not something I ever wondered, but it’s a pretty neat anecdote.

What is the skill curve for Squad? Is it easy to get into and be useful? Or there is a period where you are just cannon fodder?
- Comment on Anon is a nostalgic gamer 1 month ago:
And I don’t think so, like many other people expressed in this thread.
The biggest advantage of self-hosting is that the game will be forever playable even if the company that makes the game goes belly up.
- Comment on Anon is a nostalgic gamer 1 month ago:
Why wouldn’t it be? You can already make custom games with pretty much anyone.

Thanks for the info. I will save that comment and hit you up if I decide to start again.

How is Planetside in 2024? I never was really good at it, but I liked the coordination or when a full platoon was assembled and dropped on a hot spot.
- Comment on Anon is a nostalgic gamer 1 month ago:
I mean, we can have both. Community servers and official matchmaking servers.
But for the sake of money, community servers are gone.
- Comment on Git good, son 2 months ago:
I’d say day to day as well, depending on many factors (stress, energy level, hormones, etc.)
Just communicate and see what’s working or not, or if anything works at all. It will make the sex better for everyone involved.

Welcome to Costco, I love you.

Not sure why you are downvoted. This is one of the big lines in project 2025.
- Comment on US Democracy 2 months ago:
This is all excuses. The fact that Trump made it all the way as the primary candidate for the GOP means that Republicans were okay with what he said and what he did.
For a normal person, it shouldn’t even take a second to choose Harris. But this isn’t the case. Trump won the popular vote and the presidency despite all the crazy shit because a sizeable part of the citizens voted him in regardless of the reason.
And not only that, but Republicans won the senate and well on their way to win the house.
It is about to get real bad, and Americans have themselves to blame for that.
