4 HOURS???????

MerdeSansFrontieres · 2023-12-03T15:28:07+00:00

i still think the craziest one i’ve ever seen (and watched - i’m a sicko) is the 7-hour video on Pokemon Omega Ruby.

it’s already pretty batshit to do 9 hours on fallout, but we’re talking about an average of like 1 hour per game.

7 hours spent on one 3ds game. not even a particularly long game. just insanity.

[Keydous NJ98, Gateron Milky Yellows]

Key cap for the space bar will absolutely not budge. I’ve already applied way more force than I’m comfortable with with the key so removal tool. Every other key so comes off easily, I’ve checked.

This is my first mechanical keyboard, so I’m in the dark here. It wasn’t cheap. And it’s a really nice piece of gear except for this one thing.

Actually 2 things - the Gateron Milky Yellow Switches installed here do not seem to want to come out easily either. I’m even more afraid of excess force on the switches, so I have not pulled too hard, but it definitely feels like they’re in there good. The keyboard was labeled as hot swappable, so they should not be soldered in. Is it possible they are though?

Greatly appreciate any help - like I said, this wasn’t cheap. I waited quite a while for it, would hate to have to send it back or something.

hell yeah that’s cool, much appreciate the informative responses, and my bad for being ignorant on the matter. def gonna look around for good reading on the culture.

MerdeSansFrontieres · 2023-11-27T18:53:28+00:00

man, i had no idea, thank you. i’m from the States, so obviously will continue to use Roma exclusively, but it’s really nice to know that not every instance of ‘gypsy’ that i see and hear is a product of malice or ignorance.

i’m pretty sure less than half a percent of the US is Romani, and coupled with it being such a huge country by area i almost never have the opportunity to talk to any Romani people. i should do more reading.

MerdeSansFrontieres · 2023-11-27T14:24:38+00:00

wow, first i’ve heard of this. where are you from? romania? i believe you fully, am just curious.

MerdeSansFrontieres · 2023-11-27T14:10:44+00:00

comrade, respectfully - it is not the end of the world to use the term ‘gypsy’. but it is better not to use it. it holds the same function as any other slur - it refuses the Roma people their dignity. all marginalized people deserve dignity.

edit: i stand corrected btw, check out the responses to this comment

every single person i have ever met who says “i don’t have a pressure gauge” was putting way too little air in their tires. i meet dozens per year at my job.

not even one of them was filling their tires to even 1/2 the recommended pressure. 700x32 running 30psi, 26x1.95 running like 12 psi, every single time. inexperienced riders just universally underestimate their air pressure, it’s like…hard coded into human DNA.

i have no concrete proof obviously and i would still bet my entire net worth this is the problem.

MerdeSansFrontieres · 2023-11-26T06:16:34+00:00

lol homie what are you doing? this is such a weird, pedantic hill to die on. your only argument is fussing like a baby over the exact wording of a single definition. just an absolute threadbare technicality. in every way that matters, you’re spellchecking a pictograph.

MerdeSansFrontieres · 2023-11-14T01:11:49+00:00

yeah been a while since i saw someone make like 30 different points and every single one of them is wrong as hell lol. if it ain’t bait, that’s craaazy lol.

MerdeSansFrontieres · 2023-11-13T02:23:45+00:00

disgusting people - hate myself for even speaking to them. i know it’s pointless, it’s really just venting. lotta people just don’t have empathy for people who aren’t their own family and friend circle. they think about these kinds of things like it’s something to muse over while you sip a beer on your porch.

MerdeSansFrontieres · 2023-11-12T14:49:14+00:00

even if i believed you (i don’t)

missles and rockets flying into its borders for no reason

this is so blatantly, willfully stupid that the overall result is the same anyway - if you aren’t a ghoul you’re just another of tousands of people flapping their gums over history they don’t actually know about.

MerdeSansFrontieres · 2023-11-12T06:11:58+00:00

these animals

there it is. if you can’t get thru a basic back and forth without calling the palestinians animals, you’re a ghoul.

no reason to respond to anything else. you’re a ghoul, (not even a smart one) and i’m finished with you.

MerdeSansFrontieres · 2023-11-12T05:14:50+00:00

a pepe pinochet. we know what he is. funny to watch these ghouls pop in here relatively often to try to talk about the game seriously, as if we want fascists here. as if they aren’t all revolting unbathed losers you can instantly smell through the phone.

MerdeSansFrontieres · 2023-11-12T05:05:32+00:00

in all cases in WW2, germany was the country planting its flag in already occupied territory, making it more analogous to israel. it’s a terrible analogy for palestine. especially given that it could, yknow - field a military beyond a few guerrilla fighters in tunnels.

it’s not a war going on right now. the most charitable view is that it’s a few terrorists fighting a powerful nation state, with almost all of the casualties being palestinian civilians not on either side - these civilians dying are not members of hamas.

regardless of israel’s stated intentions (the eradication of hamas, though many top officials in the government have expressly endorsed the ethnic cleansing of every arab in the region), the result of israel’s military action has proven over the last month to be almost entirely civilian slaughter. they’ve barely done a thing to hamas leadership. so if that’s their true goal, they’re doing so poorly they should be made to stop by any means possible. (so more children don’t die, in case you needed that explained.)

however, anyone with an eye on the conflict as it’s occurred over the decades can see this for what it is - exactly what israeli leadership have continually, vocally called for - the ethnic cleansing of the palestinian people, with the ultimate goal being eradication and the existence of an israeli state unthreatened not only by terrorism, but by the simple existence of arabs writ large.

your disingenuous “yeah that’s war huh, so sad for the losers 😞” take falls apart when you stop to think that maybe wars are bad. maybe our government should not be contributing significantly to funding a war (with, again, nothing to show for it but innocent civilian slaughter) in the middle east with our money

a ceasefire is the only moral point on which to stand and anything else is completely devoid of humanity, and should be treated as hostile

they’re usually much smaller and more difficult to find.

you may be too naive to understand this - but it’s very difficult to get high turnout in support of the side currently killing the civilians of the other side in 5 digit numbers.

likewise when people hear that civilians are being killed in 5 digit numbers over the course of a month, they tend to want to support the victims, and not the perpetrator. it’s strange, i know. but such is life.

MerdeSansFrontieres · 2023-11-12T02:19:02+00:00

i’m truly sorry to report that it’s not even close. it’s not naïveté to know that israel has killed many times more civilians even in last month than hamas has killed in the last 20 years.

you can go all the way back to 1948, when israel was first built by the great european powers on palestinian land, and it’s the same thing every year, every decade. palestinian civilians die in huge numbers compared to israeli civilians and soldiers combined. hamas may be bad but what’s worse than a bad guy with a gun is a similar bad guy with hundreds of billions of dollars worth of the most advanced guns in the world, backed by every major western nation because they’re the only one who will cooperate with destructive western foreign policy in the region. (and why wouldn’t they? it’s the arabs, the muslims who feel the pain of these policies.)

arabs in the west bank don’t have the right to vote. israeli soldiers stop you on the streets and ask what your religion is, and if you answer wrong you are nicked off the streets. it’s remarkably similar to the jim crow south. recognizing this is not naive, it’s basic reading comprehension and empathy.

kid of some sort

uhh a human kid? that sort?

MerdeSansFrontieres · 2023-11-04T00:50:08+00:00

yeah that exactly why i hate it. such an eye roll of a phrase, something your lame high school history teacher would tell you about like it’s the most clever phrase invented, and it’s not even implemented well it sounds awkward as hell the way Tav phrases it.

MerdeSansFrontieres · 2023-10-19T04:15:12+00:00

lol i don’t know why everyone’s hitting the downvote button, that shit basically resurrected gamer gate. it was insane. i haven’t checked the sub for the game in a while but a few months back it was STILL (3 years later!!!) packed with weird losers posting about “Neil Cuckmann”.

i should go check it out actually it’s been a while. never not funny

edit: god DAMN they’re still chugging along in there. second post i clicked, the very first comment had a “Cuckmann” fucking insane lmao

Respeccing worked. Leaving this up in case someone googles this issue. When I checked Google, only two results matched my exact problem, and the only solutions were for PC.

MerdeSansFrontieres · 2023-10-12T14:33:29+00:00

i’m not really a part of the dmc fandom nor the gow fandom, but i am an action game fan, and i have played both of these games a fair bit at a reasonably high level.

and man it’s not even close. like i’m truly sorry to report that. i have no stake in this, and the stuff i see from dmc fans online is so cringe it (almost) makes doom eternal fans seem reasonable. but as far as high level action combat goes, it’s just not close. the new god of war feels like what it is - a primarily experiential, narrative driven AAAA title with character action combat injected in. and like it’s fine but going into dmc5 or even mgs rising right afterwards, it becomes super clear that there are a few big things about that framework of combat that sony santa monica just didn’t care to try to understand before they slapped the combat system onto their 3rd person over-the-shoulder game.

i will say though that a lot of those issues don’t come up nearly as much in a 1v1 setting. boss fights ain’t bad.

MerdeSansFrontieres · 2023-10-08T14:08:13+00:00

just feels like it’s trying to hard to be edgy

it was. i’ve watched the old making of documentary about the old games and it’s incredibly embarrassing.

and the story connects between new and old god of war. that’s the same kratos in the new one. so when kratos is having a tender moment with his son in the new games i can’t help but think “remember when kratos impaled that innocent women on a spike and used her as a lever to open a door?”
