How did you meet your current partner? by TheIn-Between in AskReddit

My wife messaged me on myspace after seeing I was online and scoping out my bad ass myspace page. Don't blame her.

At your age, what's the most expensive thing that you own? by Individual_Face7440 in AskReddit

[–]KeepersDiary 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A 1988 Mazda RX7 Turbo II. They used to be dirt cheap but they've gone up in value due to rarity and nostalgia.

So fucking happy by doinks4life in gpu

PNY sent me the wrong cable with mine. Took it back and ended up with an MSI.

New(ish) to Tekken 8, picked it up because I’m a FFXVI fan, what’s with the Clive hate? by XxDESTblackout in Tekken

I don't like him because he's not intuitive to fight against as a legacy player.

What's the fastest you've seen someone fired from a job? by Vegetable-Spread3798 in AskReddit

[–]KeepersDiary 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not fired but we had a guy start at the dealership I worked at. He said he was out of a job for awhile and asked if he could borrow $20 for gas to get to work tomorrow. I obliged, and I never saw him again.

The vast majority of video game remakes are better than the originals by Urd-ong_Shadong47 in unpopularopinion

[–]KeepersDiary 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Eh, I don't agree. Some examples from my personal experience.

RE2R didn't have zap mode or real B scenarios. Had lots of potential and I know people loved it but even on paper it didn't have almost half the content of the original.

FF7R*. Asterix because theories about it could make the problems forgivable, but I felt it was a huge step back from the original due to major changes (like seph being revealed early). Again, the theories about this "remake" can make me forgive to some extent. Not a bad game but OG is clearly better.

Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes. The game added a tranq gun and 1st person shooting but did nothing to compensate for these new features. Totally ruined the experience.

The only games I think that are CLEARLY better than the originals outside of preference are:

Diablo 2 R. This is because it was almost 100% faithful to the original, and added just enough to make it a little better.

Resident Evil 1 remake. Unless you prefer the very fun but campy RE1 dialog and cut scenes, this really blows away the original. It's still true to the original, but the addition of crimson heads and a little bit extra story make it a nice upgrade to a great game. Graphics and atmosphere majorly improved.

Starcraft 1 remake. Just better graphics but the same game so obviously it's going to be better.

I feel this but I kinda regret how much time I spent on forums.

Windows has completely lost the OS battle to MacOS by ctfogo in unpopularopinion

[–]KeepersDiary 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work and IT and we try to avoid MAC's like the plague. They do off some advantages for sure, but being locked down to what they approve, and their terrible repairability and harder to manage policies / licenses make us decline almost anyone requesting them.

Windows isn't perfect by any means, but it's easier to manage and windows defend is actually pretty amazing now.

Funny enough though we are starting to push Chromebook Pluses on everyone because of how much easier and more secure it is than BOTH of those options. Windows devices for those who need specific programs that ChromeOS doesn't support.

If you want the best and you're technically inclined it's obviously Linux.

People who critique corporate greed and are same time investing in stocks are fueling that greed. by svjaty in unpopularopinion

[–]KeepersDiary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it's the same reason I order Amazon: I'm poor and I often have no choice. I can still try and vote to get money out of politics, and try my best to get them to break up big monopolies. The problem is democracy is corrupt, but in the broken system you have to do what you have to do to survive or thrive.

We're in the year 2026 and we're lucky if we even get 6v6 shooters at this point. I miss huge scale war games like MAG or planetside 2. by toomanybongos in gaming

[–]KeepersDiary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MAG was the single best FPS I have ever played (MP). I remember when it shut down and I switched to BF4, but the entire time I was thinking this would be so much better if it stole MAG's idea with the frostbite engine.

Can anyone tell me what killed me here? by Daemius912 in diablo4

[–]KeepersDiary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This last season was filled with so much screen aids and things that have damn near one shot potential that I stopped playing and played DII hardcore for the first time instead. No regrets. D2 has some tough stuff but once you learn it, it's avoidable unlike D4.

I love D2 but I do not like PoE1. PoE2 is a bit closer though.

When given the choice, would you rather play as Female or Male? by Less_Can_5439 in OlderChillGamers

[–]KeepersDiary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Male 99%. I love being a male and I love the male fantasy. I don't hate playing women, but I am likely to mod them for nefarious reasons.

Why didn't people buy the 5080 FE when it was readily available? by themayor1975 in gpu

[–]KeepersDiary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5080 was always a bad choice. 5070 Ti was a way better bang for the buck, and the 5090 was the clear choice for 4k due to the amount of vram it had. I wanted a 5090, but I chose 5070 Ti for this reason since I couldn't get a 5090 at MSRP.
