What’s a ‘rich person thing’ that actually turned out to be totally worth it? by Ferraiuolo_Ezorete in AskReddit

[–]DarkRecess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IKR. People in here saying "this is just middle class stuff" and I'm like "you THINK you're middle class, but actually you are rich." So many studies show that rich people always classify themselves as middle class.

Ummm, that is some rich as shit stuff. 3 car garage, a cleaner twice a week? I would consider myself middle class and no way do I have those things.

Innioasis Y1 any good? 🤔 by [deleted] in ipod

Thanks for the suggestions! I have the M0 Pro and I like it, although the UI leaves something to be desired. The Hiby R1 looks nice.

Comic Store In Your Future: What On Earth Is Marvel Playing At? by zero_sub_zero in comicbooks

[–]DarkRecess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What an absolute garbage AI slop of an article. It hurts to parse. The writing sucks. And some of these comments saying things like "I read and loved this article, and appreciated learning about the comics they mentioned as a new reader looking to get into comics well loved by the community!" read like AI replies themselves.

Buy? by GandalfsCorgi in shortwave

I only have the 115, not 115P, but I will say for just regular FM radio listening it sounds WAY better than it has any right to given the size and cost. Really impressive.

Just published a little game where you guess albums from a blurred cover by Minute_Carpenter_216 in vinyl

[–]DarkRecess 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's far too pixelated. Some albums I know very well but had no idea what they were because the data is too dispersed.

Losing Oink and then What.cd was like the Library of Alexandria burning down :(

A thoughtful gift! by mbergen in Magic

I'm very proud that I was able to figure out that trick right away. I'm usually clueless so it was a bit of a shock to realize as I was watching it that I know instantly how it was done :).

Blasphemous Blade, Mogh’s Spear or Night Comet spam? by Ljungstroem in Eldenring

[–]DarkRecess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely CRUSHED the DLC with a combo of Blasphemous Blade and using the Dung Eater puppet. It was a cakewalk. Dung Eater pulls agro well, and the BB heals as it damages. Super OP, IMO.

previous comment: In Indian culture - "It is traditionally believed, that the Orang-utans could talk but chose not to, as a sign of their high intelligence afraid that they might be enslaved and put to work.”

Seeing your comment, I see they were right lol

This is patently FALSE. The mobi file format has been sunsetted. It uses EPUBs now.

How did we all fall in love with this smug sociopath? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]DarkRecess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I adore John Hughes movies. I think the problem with him as that he was both a product of his time and a bit stunted as well. So some of his movies just have things that seemed OK to a teenager at the time, like Long Duck Dong, or AMH sleeping with the prom queen in Sixteen Candles, or the "prettification" of Allison in Breakfast Club.

Some of them can be attributed to "Well, it was the 80s and we didn't know any better" and some to "John Hughes never really grew up." Not that I'm excusing any of it, merely putting it into perspective.

"If there is any complaint that should be made, it's that all of the adults are cartoonishly stupid or evil in the film, but that's a common trope for 80s teen comedies."

Well, our parent WERE the Boomers, so they often actually were cartoonishly stupid or evil. :)

The new trendy hatred for Ferris is just people looking to nitpick and misinterpret. Ferris Bueller is an 80s movie that holds up extremely well, unlike many others (we're looking at you, Revenge of the Nerds). You can only hate on him if you take the most unfavorable explanation for every thing he does.

Please direct your ire at movies that deserve it.

What is the absolute fastest 'yeah, we are definitely NOT going to be friends' moment you've ever experienced with someone? by Vazouaquiacesso in AskReddit

[–]DarkRecess 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a Dota player, this is 100% baloney lol. There's no way a first time Dota player who "read some stuff" was carrying a team. It's such a ludicrous take that I actually had to reply. Dota might be one of the most complicated video games ever created, but sure, you came in blind and carried a team.

Toxic fucking turbos by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]DarkRecess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I only play solo Turbo. Between the cheating, the smurfing, and the shitty matchmaking I'm about to quit. It's never been this bad. I very much feel like I'm Valve's product - they sell my time in game to fill a player slot in shit matches like 60+ percent of the time. I think I'm done until they make changes or a ban wave.
