I signed up and made a post. I was shocked and then amused when somebody actually saw my post?! It made me realize I don’t understand how to even use a Twitter type of social media. Do I just post my thoughts? What’s up with that lol

I always just used Twitter as a way to see youtubers/streamers updates

I assume everything is bots, so I only check out streamers, youtubers, and artists on Twitter. It was bad before the Musk takeover but now it’s borderline unusable lol

I’ve recently noticed that the tactical shooter genre has kinda fallen out of favor. Games like ghost recon, socom navy seals etc. Aren’t being made anymore. I think it’s a shame that some genres go dormant for a while.

But more than that, I just want to see developers take more risks again. Indie games have been the exception here, but I remember there being so many unique games in the early 2000’s.

Brooo you can get the title of shithead? Why would you wana be labeled as straight when you could be shithead instead? lol. That’s what I would go for haha

Such a shame it turned out the way it did, but the writing was on the wall. Every single reddit announcement thread was a shit show aha. I guess in a way they were transparent about only being in it for the money. Their actions were always consistent

I can’t find the original post, but I did a Google search and found this.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download

I haven’t tried it yet, but there might be a better or easier way!

I’ve really wanted to one day go grab a personal collection like that for myself.

I also saw that you can download the entirety of Wikipedia, and it doesn’t take up too much space either. I think it was a post made here the other day? I thought that was pretty cool. So much knowledge at ones disposal

It’ll be okay. I remember panicking years ago when they attacked other ROM sites. The games will go back up. Maybe in another location, but they always go back up. They cut off one head and another two grow back

Hmm, yeah, I get what you’re saying. I guess for me, I don’t feel like I have a ton of time to actually sit down and learn stuff, so any way I can make it more fun or give myself some kind of incentive to learn helps.

I know I want to get the end result, but it’s just a matter of tricking my stupid monkey brain into thinking it’s just fun games when I’m learning lol. It prevents me from getting bored long enough for me to dig in and get interested

Thank you so much! I’ll have to give it a go!

Oh! So this actually might be caused by bad net code. I remember years back during horizon 4, or early on when 5 released, people would play online races with friends, and a good portion of the time, the ramming wasn’t actually intentional. Both people would record the race and one friend would see the other randomly stop or go flying and the other person would see their friends’ car send them off course.

The game just thinks the other cars are in different locations than they should be. On the other players’ screen, it’s possible they didn’t even see you next to them. It can appear that you were behind them the whole time.

It’s why I wish they would offer a ghost mode where you can’t ram, but can just race each other. If they can’t make car interaction accurate, then I don’t think they should bother with that feature (or at least make modes where it’s optional)

Ohh thanks! I’ll have to check that out! I didn’t even think about checking for a game lol

I built my current PC with a friend back in 2013, and I’ve done some minor upgrading since then, but yeah, most of my knowledge is out the window at this point so maybe this will do the trick :)

I feel like this has been the case for everything the past few years. Grocery prices seem to be following the same trend

Yeah I was also surprised to hear ps5 controllers went up in price. It made me sad

100%! I love controllers that use AA’s. So much easier to replace the batteries. I’m dreading the day I need to go hunt down replacement batteries for things like my DS, 3ds, Playstation controllers, etc. It’s probably not hard to find replacements. But it requires more work than just whipping out some rechargeable AA’s and calling it a day lol

This seems like a dumb question, but ima ask it anyway. Is there a more interactive or “fun” way to learn the process of building a pc? I know there are certain compatibility issues parts can have with each other, and I want to learn how to do all this.

But I feel like the info is really dry, and instead of just memorizing information, I want to make it fun, lol.

Ohh this might! Thank you :)

Hey thank you for the links! I’ll check em out :D

I really like chromes tab grouping features, I wish firefox had that. But adblock is more important than groups so the change wasn’t too hard to deal with

I want to try it so badly! I loved that they leaned into the Japanese themes and imagery, too. I think I’ll definitely have to make some time to play it.

I want to also play persona 3 for the first time, but it’s like 100 hours or so, and I look at that number and think, “That’ll take me 6 months to finish.” Haha maybe I’ll hermit myself inside the house this winter and smash it out in half that time
