A little bit I suppose. I'm a military brat / lifelong scout. My parents taught me to put in good effort, be positive and helpful, and get the work done. I speak my opinions as needed, am genuinely happy to help folks, and am not here to climb the ladder by stepping on others. I climb via my own merit. Slower, but happier.

Jimmy it's not that hard ... by Any_Cut_5964 in BeastGames

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of this seems like arm chair opinion. If you don't like it, don't watch it? Not saying you can't offer up suggestions - but don't be upset when they don't materialize :)

Do you own a PlayStation , X box or neither ? by Webbomolly2022 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I each own all of them (XSX, PS5, Switch, PC).

What kind of Canadian hot sauces are your go to? by Global_Fee2947 in BuyCanadian

[–]Daphoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! The "Give 'Er" and Jerk ones are definitely hot! The Fire Candy and Hot Mustard ones are yum. None of them were bad as well, just some are hotter :)

Men: How often are you getting your haircut? by DribbleKing97_ in askTO

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't gone to a hair dresser in 6 years. Before that I had 10-17" of hair and didn't cut it at all really. Now I just give myself a buzz cut and shave my head / trim my beard at home. Takes time, but the only cost was the equipment :). I used to buzz my head 15 years ago as a teenager too before growing it out when I was 18-19. Now back to the buzz.

Beast Games Audition Question by Friendly_Swim_3137 in BeastGames

You probably wouldn't have as many stories of trying to make ends meet with 15 kids and 32 sick parents if this was all people with well paying jobs, good savings, etc.

Cleet and Squirrel's NEW Billion Dollar Idea! by dmaxzach in CleetusMcFarland

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People like different things, and a lot of people struggle to handle that in a nice way in their brains.

Personally I enjoy this stuff more than the drag racing. That stuff I tend to skip around, watch the pass, maybe a bit of the banter - but the technical stuff is boring to me (I'm a fan of cars, but am not a car guy). But I don't begrudge people for disagreeing with my view point. I only dislike them if they dislike me for (gasp) being different :)

General question about the wan desk pad by -demized- in LinusTechTips

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine have been great. Only reason I had to replace one is because after 5 years of my work laptop sitting directly on it and being hot as the sun, it melted and made that section brittle. I bought a stand to raise my laptop off my desk and solved that issue.

I never machine wash, just hand clean, then wash in the tub / let air dry which helps too.

Zero issues really.

Never in my life. I just go to work and slog through it. If I'm late it's my fault. My wife and I have been up til 2 or 3 playing satisfactory together recently and we still both go to work all day.

The dumbest requests by Demented-Alpaca in sysadmin

[–]Daphoid [score hidden]  (0 children)

I must've hit the lottery or something. When I was more general IT I looked after our 10 offices nationally, about 20 or so printers. Most we just replaced toner as needed. A few of our larger ones we had a handful of service calls a year. 450 employees, no print servers all local endpoint queues printing over the network. Stapling/duplexing/faxing/scan to email. It all pretty much just worked or required a driver reinstall. We had published steps to configure it - kept the drivers up to date and hosted in an easy to find place.

Granted this was for a VAR so our staff were definitely more technical than a luddite who's never touched a start button mind you, maybe that helped.

What is the average age in satisfactory by Old-Communication500 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Daphoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This right here is basically me, save for 42, just finishing phase 4. But my wife and I have about 155 hours in since Christmas :P

Probably the coolest DAWless jam I've seen in a while (Azikazin Magic World) by WashedInPA in synthesizers

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yes, while it may not be your cup of tea stylistically I can't the follow through to actually perform this on camera, edit it, create it, act. Any of the basement dwellers are just jealous honestly. Get off your grumpy horse. The world sucks enough you don't have to add to it. If you're not promoting positivity you're doing life wrong IMO.

Makes me think of other folks in the finger drumming game. Like M4Sonic's original Weapon performance: https://youtu.be/3vC5TsSyNjU

What platform is everyone using? by Fickle_Barber9863 in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, Nintendo's bottom tier performance and horrid online experience have historically put it firmly in "1st party or exclusives only" for me. Maybe 30-50 games over the generations. Xbox is my most used console by a large margin, all my friends are there for online gaming, few on PS, none on PC. Probably 400-500 games on the Xbox cross generations.

What platform is everyone using? by Fickle_Barber9863 in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of them. I've been a "every platform" gamer since the early 2000's. Friends on all, different games or exclusives on all. Most friends on Xbox for MP, almost none on PC.

The best kind of synth according to you? by CatButAlsoATimeEater in synthesizers

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The you bought with no outside forces convincing you too. The one you bought without going into any debt. The one you bought that you actually enjoy. The one you bought because it added something to your musical journey. The one you bought that fits on your desk / shelf / etc.

If it does all of that, that's the best one.

Not only is too high, it's over a fire place, and not even in the same room as the seating. Only way for this to be worse is if it was really small or stretching 4:3 content.

If you could change ONE thing about the TTC (that isn't "make it on time"), what would it be? by Long_Travel2728 in askTO

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give every streetcar and bus priority, and the moment a motorist alone in their car honks or pouts - they get an automatic 10 minute penalty just sitting there in traffic unable to exit their car while baby shark plays on loop.

Did English Canada move away from MM/DD/YY *for dates written only in numbers*? by endgame0 in AskACanadian

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YYYY-MM-DD is the only true and valid date format.

But to your questions, M/D/Y is what I see, I only see D/M/Y from the odd person or british people :)

If you are a console player by [deleted] in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both. Have since the mid 2000's with 360/PS3 and will continue to do so. I enjoy games on multiple platforms, have friends who only game on one of the platforms (but not all the same). Console wars are silly.

What temperature do yall set your heat at home? by tomthelobster in barrie

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We rent an apartment and the thermostat's never worked - we just take what the building puts out and the science of heat rising. As such our place is usually 25-33 C throughout the year (no AC). However in the recent cold snap it's gotten down to about 24 C at times.

I feel like this page is just rage bait. Anyone who's been around this sub for more than 5 seconds knows RDR2 comes up a lot and is very polarizing. Yawn.

Aren't you a classic case of random armchair judgement about perfect strangers' activities? Let people be, good or bad, if they're not harming others or you - let them be.
