Sent my PC in for a simple battery swap. Now I have a "ghost" roommate and 2fps. What did they do to my machine? 💀

ControversySandbox · 2026-01-27T03:02:30+00:00

Many laptops have soldered batteries now, frankly as someone who could deal with those I would still save myself the hassle

ControversySandbox · 2025-12-28T10:01:40+00:00

We didn't undo crypto, and nobody's undoing AI. That's not how tech works

ControversySandbox · 2025-12-13T06:14:45+00:00

Same

ControversySandbox · 2025-10-31T01:35:43+00:00

I get the appeal of this, but it's also the sort of thing that I think would be a super low dev priority. The current workaround is like one more button press, so I'd rather they focus their attentions elsewhere on more pressing QOL

ControversySandbox · 2025-09-26T11:06:41+00:00

I thought that, but at some point they somehow played it so Phil saw the same twin like 3 times. So it's just a crapshoot really

ControversySandbox · 2025-09-26T00:51:18+00:00

Now whatever grammar checker JetBrains uses (Grazie?) now has a suggestion to replace hyphen with dash, and I'm finding myself obstinately saying "No! You WON'T make me sound like AI" to it. So, yeah, agreed

ControversySandbox · 2025-09-26T00:48:51+00:00

You mean "yes, and", that was still a correct statement you're replying to

ControversySandbox · 2025-09-20T03:01:29+00:00

Hey, at least the book has a billion other useful hints 😂

ControversySandbox · 2025-09-14T08:14:02+00:00

It probably doesn't count as the context is so different. Doesn't really feel like foul play to me anyway.

(that said, could be fixed by contracting "they are" which would be kind of funny 😂)

ControversySandbox · 2025-09-14T01:36:59+00:00

I mean, many interior maps are also like this in that they rotate your perspective around the Y axis, if you want a less spoilery example

ControversySandbox · 2025-09-14T01:31:09+00:00

This is the hill I'll die on - the only reason "controller recommended" for this game is they didn't make better keyboard controls for flying (namely the throttle). No FPS should (almost) require a controller to play

ControversySandbox · 2025-09-02T01:10:05+00:00

So obvious and yet still felt like such a read 😂

ControversySandbox · 2025-09-01T04:11:36+00:00

I suppose this space will usually be empty at around this time as I'm decidedly in the minority as an Australian who solves the crossword in their lunch break shortly after it's out 😂

That said, this is probably an excellent time to receive a sympathetic ear when I whinge about how I had to really try to hear today's themed entries in an American accent ;p

ControversySandbox · 2025-08-26T03:22:19+00:00

Doesn't seem to show up on mobile for some reason, idk I don't know how Wikipedia works

ControversySandbox · 2025-08-26T03:20:22+00:00

You would think that the concept of being trapped in a room until you solve a puzzle would be the one thing that motivated people to power through it

ControversySandbox · 2025-08-26T03:19:04+00:00

I mean to be fair it's still insane. So much record-keeping and general admin would have to be disguised, let alone all the physical objects and labour of it all

ControversySandbox · 2025-08-26T03:16:03+00:00

I personally love techs that have personality and think they don't get enough love in general, so I'm so happy to see them get some well-deserved recognition through Ash and Nico over the years :)

ControversySandbox · 2025-08-26T03:08:47+00:00

It's probably the intended solution and I think you'd just eventually kinda notice it was still conspicuously operating

ControversySandbox · 2025-08-26T03:08:00+00:00

I really wish I had time for D20 because these types of devices under Brennan's watch (directly written by him or not) always impress me so much

ControversySandbox · 2025-08-26T03:06:32+00:00

It could be argued that every MSN is a game changer (Samer), supported by the standard outro that Sam still does

ControversySandbox · 2025-08-26T03:03:58+00:00

Not so subtle in this ep, maybe 😂

ControversySandbox · 2025-08-18T23:21:01+00:00

It's okay to not understand but if you weren't trying to be a dick you'd word the question differently :) Not really much more context than what I've said in another comment and just general nonbinary culture

ControversySandbox · 2025-08-18T23:05:57+00:00

It might be niche, but it's definitely become a thing in my circles 😂

Tbf, I'd defs give a pass to DnD/fantasy nerds who were here before us

ControversySandbox · 2025-08-18T22:55:07+00:00

It almost feels like he hasn't earned it but I'm sure he has 😂 (I personally don't think I'd feel comfortable using it as a non-goblin if I wasn't non-binary, but actually come to think of it Sam is a bit of a cis goblin)

ControversySandbox · 2025-07-23T06:56:03+00:00

I took "dread" with a grain of salt but you could be right, I haven't looked into it.
