Gamer™

I have commited the Num-Code for ™ to muscle memory.

Other interests include bicycles, bread making and DIY. I do own a 3D-printer and adore the Nintendo 3ds.

  • One would think that this is impossible, considering they have a battery and no tank. Anyway, hope the repairs are done in time, showing up with a broken bike is not a good look.

  • After all, that is a privilege reserved for politicians.

  • Would you say Charlie's proposal was... shot down?

  • I can't even make the most explicit Gacha hating post without you guys saying how yours is the one, the special one that's good.

    I hate the concept. They are designed to obfuscate how much money and time you spend on them with different currencies that don't feel like real money. They are dark pattern after dark pattern, trying to get you to look at the shop every time you boot up, and entice you with limited offers every chance they get. And this all is then defended by well meaning people like you and me with "Well, you can play for free if you grind hard".

    And when I look up if the different in-game currency thing applies to this game, I find out I have heard of Limbus company as the Korean one that got a "radical feminist" artist fired because a swimsuit didn't reveal enough skin for the fanbase's liking.

    You misunderstood my comment. Fuck off with your recommendation.

  • Gacha.

    For most anything else, I can simply chalk it up as a difference in tastes when I don't like the gameplay, or art style, or whatever. Even those shitty horror games for babies I despise are perhaps fun if you dive into the lore at the right age, who knows. I certainly have obsessed for less than mediocre games.

    But no one likes gacha, or at least should like it. It's gambling marketed to kids, preying on the people without impulse control. No "you can spend 2 hours of your life every day on this and save up 2$ in currency" is changing that, in fact that is even worse.

    And yet they give hoyoverse a pass for their series, because everything around it is so high quality. Open your fucking eyes! Games are not supposed to punish you for not playing!

    But of course, no accusation without confession, I am quite fond of the yugioh simulator, and used to defend it the same way. I try to resolve this double standard by doing what I feel they should do: Never gush about it, only mention it in shame, and always warn people to not pick it up.

  • Well, I don't expect you to know this, but police are actually not supposed to punch protestors. Or anyone else, really. Hope this helps 🤗!

  • Why should pedestrians wait for other pedestrians?

    It's not unreadable and I think I get what you wanted to say, but I personally would have edited this one a few more times.

  • If you really wanted to express that this goes both ways:

    In the post, it's "meanwhile, they're just some guy". Why not say "they're just some girl" instead on bashing on single mothers?

  • They also believe that other ethnic and religious groups exist within a school district.

  • There literally is a machine that can ticket everyone equally. And it gets called unfair here because the poor and rich both have to pay 100$. Yeah okay, I get the sentiment, proportional fines all the way. But...

    "The roads are too poorly designed, everyone speeds here!" is no excuse. If the road design tempts you to sin, you shouldn't drive. Ignore the bigger picture, you're moving 3 tons of steel faster than your eyes can process, take some responsibility for ensuring no one dies because of you. Drive a safe speed, which is the only speed everyone can agree on, which is the speed limit. Driving "what feels right" is not safe. You aren't the one driver who can get away with this.

    Yes, traffic engineers share the blame, and on a political level this is where you need to improve the situation. But on an individual level, like this anecdote about the authors random fine, the individual is to blame. Its not a scam by the government, you messed up.

    And asking for the traffic cop back is just asinine. How on earth do you think this will be any fairer, them letting most speeders through and then fining "randomly selected" individuals?

  • A AAA-battery to AA-adapter. I randomly had 50 of the smaller ones lying around, so it really came in handy.

    Can't share a link, but there should be dozens of this kind of model on any site. "Can't", because the model I grabbed was definitely among the worse ones.

  • The last time a country was suspected of breaking the non-proliferation treaty, it was pre-emptively attacked with thousands of civilians dead and injured, and our European leaders said how justified that attack was.

    But I'm sure going back on that will work just fine for us.

  • Ich mag Toast Hawaii. Ich finde Pizza Hawaii ist Ok. Ich bin voll im Zen, die Leute können und sollen essen was sie wollen, und bloße Ausdrücke im Netz von was anderem betreffen mich nicht. Die 7 Winde bewegen mich kein Stück und all der Kram.

    Aber die Leute, die Ketchup zu Toast Hawaii essen... haben bestimmt einfach besseren Ketchup gefunden als ich, das wirds sein.

  • What's the matter, big boy, can't compete in the free market? Is your job too hard? Do you need more subsidies? Yeah? Tariffs on Chinese cars? Shall the politicians come over and fuck your wife as well?

  • Judging by the comments, reading the article seems to be a lost art. Here's the image for y'all:

    It's very specifically about 18-24 year olds, compared to last year, with video games seeing the steepest decrease.

    You can stop complaining about games being soulless, unless you want to claim that wasn't a problem last year. Well, you can, but it's unrelated then. Compared to last year, this age group has felt the need to cut back at everything more so than anyone else.

    Here's the thread mentioned in the article. Suspected reason is restarting of student loan payments and difficult job market.

  • Im antiken Youtube hatte ich mal eine Person, die mich genervt hat "gecyberstalked". Das war dann ein Klick auf den öffentlichen Kommentarverlauf, den Youtube damals hatte. Edit: Bei weiterem nachdenken war es wohl doch die öffentliche "Liked videos" playlist.

    War eine große Erleichterung zu sehen, dass die Person dann positive Kommentare unter einem absoluten Schwurblervideo gelassen hatte, sodass Ich sie nicht mehr ernst nehmen musste.... im Nachhinein. Ich glaube ich war so jung, dass Ich da doch fast reingerutscht wäre. Der Globus mit sich bewegenen "&" als Mund war wohl doch guter Redner. Die Weiterleitung zu dem 1500€ Akkumulator lies mich dann aber doch schnell erkennen, worum es da geht.

    Das ist jetzt die Erinnerung, die Ich am meisten mit Orgon Energie Spinnern verbinde.
