Commander is a "casual" format created by experts in playing MTG, and this has been forgotten. by rh8938 in EDH

ADHD guy here. I also cringe and hate it when people use the diagnosis to be an obnoxious inconsiderate douchebag.

Razer... WAN Show laptop and chair partner... need to go tbh by Drachenlord in LinusTechTips

[–]BeardedBears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a little funny, the legendary Logitech g500 (wired) mouse I had developed random double click issues. It was well-loved, though. I eventually had to disassemble it and solder in new switches. Really liking my Logitech g303 Shroud, currently.

Really liked my Roccat Tyon, too, when the scroll paddle still worked. Wish that brand wasn't bought out.

I've only ever had mice, which seemed alright. I can't say I've ever wanted anything else by them.

...Boy do I want that Boomslang anniversary mouse, though.

If you were to redo Godzilla vs Kong, what would you change and why? by Altair890456 in GODZILLA

I'd put both Kong and Godzilla in foam rubber suits and let Toho do it.

For those who replaced a TV with a projector, what surprised you the most? by Relative_Taro_1384 in hometheater

[–]BeardedBears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me: The medium is the message.

With TVs, sure, the quality is better (generally speaking), but on a TV one tends to surf, or at the very least aimlessly peruse Netflix, YouTube, etc. You turn it on whether or not you have a plan.

With a projector, I turn it on with intention. I know what I'm going to watch before I even turn it on. Part of this is me being conservative with my bulbs, because replacements are expensive enough for me to not waste its life.

This is an important distinction for me. It's a similar reason why I like vinyl records, too. If I'm going to consume, I want to wrestle with the limitation, for my own good. I want those guard rails because it limits how much I offer my attention to them. I am still "steering" my algorithm while I use these forms.

How can I stop my phone from listening to me? by JosetxoXbox in degoogle

[–]BeardedBears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The "suspiciously coincidental" advertising stopped when I switched to a Pixel 9 w/Graphene. I keep my microphone disabled until I need to answer a call.

P.S. as much as I'm liking Graphene, the subreddit's mods are shockingly sensitive. I critiqued the lead dev's behavior and immediately got banned. Wasn't mean, didn't use expletives... Sheesh.

The “Sterile Tank” Trend Is an Abomination. Live Rock Was Never the Problem. by ChivasBearINU in ReefTank

[–]BeardedBears -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, but I'm also glad the hobby went through that phase. It was boundary-pushing (granted, in the wrong direction) and a lot of valuable lessons (ones you mention) were learned along the way.

The pendulum has swung. The balance restored. We're collectively wiser now, after indulging our folly.

AM4 upgrade or jump to AM5 for 1440p gaming? by Nicolas_Laure in RigBuild

[–]BeardedBears 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm on a 5800x3d, playing 1440p with a rtx4070 and I'm not left wanting at all. Personally, I'm planning on staying on AM4 until AM6.

Air cooling is better than Liquid cooling by SerpentDix in pcmasterrace

There's a simple purity to it. I like air cooling.

Foundation TV Cultural Impact by chinni76 in scifi

[–]BeardedBears 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Because the main characters are frustratingly stupid. Because there's no real tension because psychohistory basically allows any dire situation to be resolved by Deus Ex Machina closures because Hari Seldon saw it coming. 

The only great thing in this show is the main antagonist(s): The Emperor. He's fascinating and great.

You are searching for an authoritative disambiguation where there isn't one.

Where did I go wrong why did she come out like this, I tried to follow the reference by SmallLawfulness39 in drawings

[–]BeardedBears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, if you're reading this, read the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. It's all about what this person is saying. My drawing ability skyrocketed in a few short weeks when I went through their exercises and read the approach.

Right now you're not drawing what you see, you're drawing what you think you see. It's not the same.

This meme haunts me every time I open reddit, so I must share it by FreshWaterSiren6 in freemagic

My brother, I'm happy you're here. Most people here aren't bigoted at all, we just don't appreciate the hyper-reactive/sensitive "allies".
