    Modern software sucks, and computing is garbage while hardware is blazing new frontiers.

    Fuck you, you braindead moron. No one even brought up free software until you just did to move the goalposts after your overwhelming and obvious failure to back up your previous statement. Since you can't possibly argue that Chrome isn't demonstrably worse than it was as little as five years...

    Modern software sucks, and computing is garbage while hardware is blazing new frontiers.

    Kiss my ass, Chrome is objectively worse now than it was 5 years ago. There is no debating that point. Additionally, it is absolutely the case that Google uses Chrome to collect as much data on you as possible while you use it. Full stop. No one said they were the only company to do so, but...

    I won't believe a single thing they claim until it is proven in game.

    Modern software sucks, and computing is garbage while hardware is blazing new frontiers.

    Is this a trick question? Chrome is fucking garbage now and has been for the last several years. Fuck, Edge is way better precisely because MS just took Chrome and stripped out half the useless bullshit that makes it run like garbage. And even with that, it isn't like Edge is amazing...

    Yeah, I forgot to mention that I had looked at that but wanted to know if anyone knew of other options.

    Small electronics repair/soldering

    For years now I've been doing small fixes on phones, handheld consoles, and various other small electronic devices. I like being able to fix broken devices that people believe to be junked. Lately, though, I get stopped at the point where there is the possibility I have to solder or fix...

    Modern software sucks, and computing is garbage while hardware is blazing new frontiers.

    Nah, that kind of thing would be done by another developer or a dev lead if it was required. Change Management is at a higher level than individual commits. It would need to be at least a collection of commits that would make up a new version. It is, admittedly, a purely bureaucratic function...

    Modern software sucks, and computing is garbage while hardware is blazing new frontiers.

    Not just this, but any kind of oversight whatsoever. I work in Change Management and the developers at my company actively work against any attempt to hold them the least bit accountable for ensuring any quality control or planning. The dev leads even go as far as to suggest that we should be...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I have mastered replacing the joystick on both joycons. Right is way easier than left, but neither takes more than 5 min. Replacement sticks are super cheap too.

    Giving money to one of these people marks you as the most desperate of desperate internet faggots. Of all the conversations that have happened on this forum, this is by far the most embarrassing.

    Path of Exile

    How can you expect a small, indie developer to add content you paid for in a timely manner? It isn't like they are backed by one of the largest international gaming mega-corps in the world.

    HDTVs

    What Denamian said, but also built-in smart functions are usually slower than plugged in ones because they are running off of hardware in the TV that is not dedicated to that function. It is similar to buying a dedicated GPU to offload graphics processing to a device built for that specific task.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Goddamn, fighting the Pontiff for the first time in 5 years and I forgot how much I fucking loathe the action queueing system in DS3 (and the series in general) for a handful of the battles. Nothing more infuriating than missing a dodge roll only for the system to queue it up and roll right...

    Smokers / Grills

    Would you recommend it? What do you use it for? Would you opt for a $100 more expensive model that comes with a lid?

    Anyone have an outdoor flat top grill that they like? I've heard they are prone to warping but have no experience with them.

    They liked it better when literally every build was open to them because of deterministic crafting that was reasonably available?

    The Fast Food Thread

    The 2x spicy was so hot I was crying when I tried to eat it. I love the flavor, but they are just too much for me. Even the black spicy is too much if I use the full packet.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    DS3. Trust me on this. Elden Ring got me hyped for some replay so I loaded up DS2, played for a few minutes, then turned it off because I forgot how bad the combat felt after playing DS3/BB/Sekiro. Starting with DS3 the combat in Soulsborne games feels super tight and incredibly responsive...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    While I agree with this statement, if lower res textures is what fuels the unmatched combat responsiveness of DS3 and Sekiro than I will gladly give it up. For me, it is pretty enough and that is what counts.

    Did this today. Bought a $4.99 rotisserie chicken from Sam's/Costco. Break it down by hand, eating the skin and enough meat for a full meal. It takes less than you think since there is so much delicious fat all over the skin and on the meat as you break it down. The meat gets separated dark...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Did you get into Sekiro? It took me at least 5 hours into the game to start really liking it. Even more than other Souls games, it felt like getting better at the game was very noticeable. I'll take whatever they give me, though. I can't think of a series of games that I have enjoyed more...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Goddamn, stop being nerds. Who cares what it is as long as it is more souls. EDIT: Also, did I just see Smough in there with a vase on his head? It should have just been called Dark Souls 4 (story by GRRM).

    Loki

    Imagine being so stupid as to label a god who can change sexes so thoroughly that he (she/it/whogivesafuckitsagod) can be pregnant and give birth some retarded fucking meaningless term like "gender fluid". The only thing more stupid is the people who defend it.

    Apex Legends new free to play battle royale game from Respawn

    I won't argue that new players have a tough adjustment period. Hell, I've been playing this as my main game for 9 months now and I'm just to the point where my movement is starting to be good enough to feel confident. I will say that it makes for a different and very satisfying gaming...

    Apex Legends new free to play battle royale game from Respawn

    I completely disagree. It is so nice to finally play a game where teenager aim and reflexes don't trump nearly everything else. The skill gap in the game is made up by movement and that takes practice and experience that only come from playing it. It's also refreshing to know that if you get...

    Prey

    I like to describe it as brutal rape and child murder as part of a terrorist campaign to ethnically cleanse the land of all competing tribes. You have to use the most evocative language possible to make people understand what kind of nightmarish hellscape it was during these times to show them...

    Man, I wonder what these people would think if they looked into the actual history of how the Comanche lived. Do they think that a young woman in the tribe trying to act like a man would have been something that was tolerated?

    Werewolves Within (2021)

    Man, I'm the same. I desperately want werewolves to get a solid decade of movies like vampires and zombies did. I thought Wolf Soldiers and Underworld 2 and American Werewolf in Paris might spark that in the 2000s but ended up wrong.

    Female-centric esports are bad for the same reason (most) female-centric sports are bad, namely that they aren't, as a group, competitive with male gamers. Sure, there are some talented female gamers, but few that can stand with the best males and not anywhere near enough to fill a league. No...

    So your position is that the ugly, but talented, girl teams just don't have the funding to develop because the marginally attractive, but mediocre ability, girls have sucked up all the available money to develop girl talent?

    It's okay, you shouldn't feel bad for not realizing that you could go to a site outside the game to try to make good things happen for you inside the game. The trade in PoE is hot garbage and they should be ashamed of the entire implementation.
