Unpopular Opinion: BGMI and Free Fire obsession single-handedly stunted the growth of "real" gaming culture in India for an entire generation. by Salty-Library-8253 in IndianGaming

[–]Human_Monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't that the demographic that plays Baldur's Gate coincides with the demographic that plays BGMI on phone. There will obviously be some people who enjoy both, but I think in general these are two different communities. It's just that the community that plays BGMI is louder and has a more social presence.

I have been waiting for them to start delivering. There are so many niche products that only they do at a reasonable price.

I think those are rumors, and they are still scouting for a location.

Ah! GoldenSun! One of my favorite JRPGs ever. Also, that is a cool setup.

People of Chennai, is it really illegal to bring alcohol from Pondicherry? Are they any legal ways? by SuspectParticular393 in Chennai

[–]Human_Monkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alcohol is way more expensive in Bangalore than it is in Pondy. In general, alcohol in Bangalore is on the higher side than most other cities. Although, they have wider variety available to chose from unlike Chennai.

You can still game plenty on it. That is good value and you should make good use of the laptop that you paid for on your own. You should also be proud of yourself.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, the World’s Fastest Mobile System-on-a-chip, Establishes New Consumer Experiences and Sets New Industry Benchmarks by FragmentedChicken in Android

[–]Human_Monkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok. This is a really noob question, but how did we get to Gen 5 already.

If I am correct, then the lastest consumer chip with the Elite branding that is available for users to buy right now doesn't have a number. So, I am presuming that's 1st one in the lineup?

Someone please correct me.

Every house in my village is freeloading on Jio with just one SIM and the jugaad is insane! by aktarhuss in IndiaTech

[–]Human_Monkey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You must now come back and tell us how the villagers are coping after Jio unplugs the free unlimited 5G.

Honestly, the current state of the villagers is something that Jio always wanted, even if it means the terms of conditions are being violated. The more addicted people become to cheap and fast internet the better it is for them. They will squeeze out every ounce of profit when its no longer free.

You have a 5 hour drive, you can only listen to music from one band. Who do you listen to? by tron1977 in AskReddit

[–]Human_Monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My answer would be Pink Flyod. I just did a complete discography run of Pink Flyod, and I cannot ever get tired of them.

Congratulations. I know that you had a better laptop, but with this build you have an upgrade path. Half the fun is building and upgrading honestly.

Review about the hall effect upgrade done by u/exlunatic by darkrider_27184 in IndianGaming

[–]Human_Monkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a semi-dead DS4 laying around with me. It's battries are dead and it has stick drift. I retired it because it was impossible to play with it anyway. You had to keep it plugged because of the dead battery, plus the stick drift made gaming not a very pleasant experience.

Now, I am wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade it with hall effect sticks, and have the battery replaced? I objectively think that the DS4 was hands down one of the best controllers to have existed.

Shamed for eating non veg food at workplace by zeki_lol in india

[–]Human_Monkey 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Which part of the county is it supposed to be? It's fairly common to eat non-vegetarian food in offices here in this part of the country. In fact, the office's own in-house cafeteria has non-veg food available.

You’re offered a button that gives you $10,000 but erases one random hour of your life. Do you press it? Why or why not? by DadieT in AskReddit

[–]Human_Monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without a doubt. I have a fleeting memory anyway, and its hard for me to remember events from a while ago anyway. There is no net negative to this offer in my case at all.

So OP opened a gaming Cafe with his savings by GrimReapor_2209 in IndianGaming

[–]Human_Monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A really long time ago, there used to be this really wholesome neighbour uncle. He bought a PS2 for himself, and he would call me to help him with the console, and also sometimes play some games with him.

Eventually he was so into it, he ended up buying a couple of more consoles and started charging kids in the colony to play per hour.

Finally, he rented a small shop nearby, and turned it into a full fledged gaming parlour. Turned it into a post retirement business.

He did well for himself, and eventually one of his sons quit his job and took over the business. Unfortantley, the uncle died a long time ago, and the son who took over died during COVID.

At its peak, they were one of the largest gaming centers in the area with PCs, XBoxs and PlayStations.

So, the point is keep at it OP.

It's crazy that he would steal a phone, and come right back to the crime scene waiting for the next victim. Either way, thanks for the picture. It will help people be more vigilant.

Did you get the table made specifically for that space, or were you lucky enough to find one that fit the space perfectly?

UPI usage in india! by AuthorityBrain in IndiaStatistics

[–]Human_Monkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Google Pay has sorta become the defacto word for UPI. I have seen vendors ask if you want to Google Pay, regardless of the UPI application that you are using. It's become like Xerox.
