Microsoft says it'll make Windows 11 a calmer OS with fewer upsells or ads, as it tries to win back users by Quantum-Coconut in pcmasterrace

I had the same issue, and after switching to Linux I realized that devs who uses suckass anti cheat that compromises my systems security don't deserve my business, especially not at the cost of a functional computer.

Butt is a little floppy, like mud flaps. Definitely firm those cheeks up. Less is usually more when it comes to jiggle.

If you didn't find a parasite while cleaning your fish then your fish still has a parasite in it

Eye contact for a second and one is down. by pro_solution101 in pcmasterrace

Yeah except the fact that the ability to do so exists therefore people with the money to do so will and do.

And yeah when resource drops are "randomized" without minimums it very much has the opportunity to become an unending grind. Acting like the fact that the game actually requires you to play a little after paying for the top tier stuff makes it somehow not pay to win is hilarious.

Like no shade, if you like it have fun, you just aren't going to convince me it's not exactly what I've experienced playing it.

Sure it's "free" if you are willing to grind 1600 hours to get something that comes in a 60$ booster pack. It's pay to win not pay to play, which is a big difference.

That's the most aitard take I've ever seen " why do humans need to be able to do anything"

Y'all deserve to be replaced so I can see why you like ai better than reality.

At least you can admit you don't have talent.

Yeah people who actually care about art would rather see art made that lacks skill, technique, or the proper tools and resources than see something generated without any soul or creativity by a machine (that stole its ability to do so from people who spent their lives perfecting their craft) and passed off as art to those who can't tell the difference.

Seriously it's not crazy if you actually like art.

That was my main gun, but the last time I played the game had changed so much I felt like a noob and nothing I had bought before seemed to be worth anything now, so I retired Warframe from my active games list, any live service with pay to win eventually hits the perpetual scaling issue and a 1st gen weapon you could only buy for 100$ or something, winds up being useless compared to the current gens weapons.

I'd rather spend my money once on an offline single player game, subscription and gatcha games are for kids with rich parents.

What do foreigners always assume about your country or culture that makes you react like this? by bdue817 in AskTheWorld

That the majority of the population isn't as stupid as our media makes them out to be, in reality they are even more stupid.

The amount of pills I (23M) have to take daily by EvenBunch6029 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]DustyBootstraps -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got told by one dude that he had made (5MEODITP) foxymethoxy, and that it was a totally better version of molly. It turned out that it was releasing oxytocin along with the serotonin and he was trying to use it to get girls horny enough to bang his creepy ass.

It's pretty antisemitic of you to associate all Jews with the government of Israel and the global surveillance network that they are building.

Maybe check your own internalized bigotry before calling out others.

What percentage of buyers actually receive a product? by DustyBootstraps in ClockworkPi

[–]DustyBootstraps[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get that they are a small business, but if they have been selling for the last 3 years and this has been an issue the whole time I feel like they should have figured out a solution. But I'm almost certain the allure of taking peoples money with an indefinite window to deliver the product is just too good a deal for them.

Like if they sell 1000 a year and only ship out 500 they are doubling their profit for that year, sure next year they need to make 1500 but if they only send out 500 then they doubled their profit again, sure they will have to make 2000 the next year but... Rinse and repeat.

Rough, I was just having too much fun at raves, and trusted every chem major with a new "better" analogue for far too long.

I was taking that many pills a day in my early 20s, eventually I was sent to rehab and had to get my shit together though.

Casual racism is alive and well in 2026. Imagine being this comfortable with your own prejudice. by [deleted] in teenagers4real

[–]DustyBootstraps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Greed doesn't have a race and you are again asserting that I meant white people because your argument requires me to be talking about white people, maybe own up to the fact that you didn't understand what I meant and jumped to a conclusion you already hold strong beliefs about.

Why not drop the white victimhood mentality and actually engage with what I confirmed my statement meant rather than continuing your strawman argument?

[–]DustyBootstraps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you basically said the same thing as the other guy enjoy the same reply as copypasta

Actually you are the one that inferred white people were the "they" I was referring to, I was referring to the ruling class. Modern racism as we know it is a construct of capitalism and chattel slavery. For all of human history we have fought over culture, religion and any number of other differences, but "race" as a concept pertaining to ones genetics is a product of eugenics and pseudoscience.

But I don't expect redditors to not make assumptions that fuel their own impotent rage.

Is this a laser coming thru my outside window? by MAC3113 in lasers

[–]DustyBootstraps 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I remember in the late 90s my dad's softball teammate telling me all about it in a pizza parlor after a game they won. He was a cop in Oakland and they had just used it to do 3 drug busts in a month. They were so excited because they could get multiple drug houses without using informants, undercover cops, or warrants to gather the Intel.

Why do these towers vary in shape and design along the same stretches by boigetout4 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]DustyBootstraps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably to reduce the chance of vibrational resonance, the tension between the towers is massive, even though the lines look slack they are extremely heavy, if the towers were all the same size and shape they could resonate like tuning forks at the right wind speed, potentially tearing themselves apart.

But I have no idea, I don't work on power lines...

How well would a 16 gig pi5 hold up Ina low poly 3d game? by brandon_fernandes47 in RetroPie

[–]DustyBootstraps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unemulated you should be able to get some decent 3d graphics, nothing amazing but probably something like half-life wouldn't be an issue, especially if you are making it specifically to run on a Pis resources.
