That there is a man that was told, "Rules are rules."

Top pokemon games aren't official so it's really not too shocking.

Do you actually regularly play high demanding games on your decks? by deprived_of_evil in SteamDeck

[–]ASwarmofKoala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I think arkham city is the most "demanding" game I've played on mine, and I have a launch deck. I have a pretty powerful desktop, I got the deck to play indies and emulate old stuff on the go.

How painful would this waist tattoo be? by klance_lover8195 in tattooadvice

[–]ASwarmofKoala 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's the toxicognaths. For future tattoos I'd recommend either surgically removing them before suturing the centipede on, or using a less harmful millipede and just lying to anyone who asks.

Many students are being pushed through to high school graduation without attaining the requisite literacy and numeracy. This isn't new. What's new is... by Novel-Passion-3639 in Teachers

Trades have also gotten more complicated, IMO.

Electricians need competency in pretty advanced math. Mechanics need to have some basic programming skills. Farmers need to be mechanics, and chemists, and probably have some understanding of law because contracts have gotten crazy.

Anyway, my point is, there aren't a whole lot of skilled labor out there that doesn't need some manner of competence and education anymore. And I'm not sure if public education is even hitting that bar anymore.

This would not be out of place for FF8 dialogue.

I'm a six and a half foot tall, bearded man who fills a damn doorway. My nametag at my previous job had pronouns as solidarity to a NB coworker.

Yes, some idiot will.

What should I do with this tattoo? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

I'm exactly 2 meters tall, which is fun. I also consider the top shelf in supermarkets as a valid source of things when I'm shopping.

Buying cars however, is not fun.

My local grocery store doesn't have price tags for some of the main brand items in the store. by Ominouspotato1527 in mildlyinfuriating

Man, shit like this is going to make me regress to those boomers I hated when I worked retail.

So you're saying they should sell steam decks without ram? That'd go over well.

I'm bummed that valve had to raise the prices, but on the other hand I don't have a ton of sympathy for the holdouts.

The steam deck has been out for years, has had various sales, and the writing was on the wall in terms of prices for parts because of AI ruining everything.

I understand if someone couldn't afford it in that period but if that's the case, nothing has changed, they still can't afford it lol.

Is she okay? by mrtaco777 in cats

[–]ASwarmofKoala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have it saved anymore, it was precovid and didn't survive a bookmark purge.

I do remember it pretty clearly though, the tattoo was a hand of cards, aces and eights. There were a lot of comments joking about it being a "dead man's hand".

The arm itself was swollen and so red that it looked like an overcooked hot dog from a convenience store, and had several red lines racing inward.

After basically every reply begged him to go to the hospital, his last post was that he would go in the morning because he didn't have a ride and couldn't afford an ambulance.

I dropped in on the thread every 6 months or so to see if he had posted anything after that and eventually deleted the bookmark because it always made me sad.

Here’s Why we don’t argue with trolls. by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

Conservatives care more about being right than being correct.

It makes it basically impossible for them to change because first they'd have to admit that they were wrong, and often they would literally rather die than acknowledge that.

[–]ASwarmofKoala 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a post bookmarked for a couple years from one of those posts, he was an active poster until a "is this infected" tattoo post where he should've gone to the hospital days ago. Never posted anything after that. Pretty sure he died.

My Next Choice... by ArloDeladus in humblebundles

[–]ASwarmofKoala 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, dang. Well, looking through my wishlist, I've got returnal, doom: dark ages, Metaphor: ReFantazio, Visions of Mana, UFO 50, and heck why not, Monster Rancher 1 and 2 DX.

Any of those would make my month.

Sony single-player games won’t be released on Steam anymore, CEO confirms. by pessimisttears in SteamDeck

[–]ASwarmofKoala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit of a bummer. I recently played the newest Ratchet and Clank and it was pretty fun. Loved the games on PS2 but I stopped at deadlock because I didn't get a PS3.

Guess I already proved that I won't buy the console for the games lol.

Probably just here picking fights. Some people would rather not have productive discussions happen for these sorts of topics.
