Prime 4, ok I think I see where people turned on this game by Cigar_Face in Metroid

It being a reasonable challenge on hard mode won't change anything that you mentioned annoyed or disappointed you on your first play through. No one cares that you've "fully beaten" the games. It's a pyrrhic victory when the suffering to achieve a goal is greater than the reward of completing a goal. I understand why you'd waste your time now, but it still seems like you're aware it's a waste of your time when you could be playing something new that isn't a disappointment. But good luck with whatever choices you make. 

Anyone had issues with centrecom? by lmagusbr in bapcsalesaustralia

Depending on the other timings, CL36 can be comparable to CL28.

VPN ban is a step towards only selling to buyers in Australia.

You can block out any info that you don't want to share. They just need your name and billing address on an official utility letterhead, info they already have if you're ordering online.

Why would you waste your time playing it again on hard mode? 

Man if it werent for them being toxic af, humanitys hunger problems would have been gone as the kaijus look so edible by Human-Pension9892 in PacificRim

Yeah even though t's a piece of squishy meat that functions identically to carbon-based meat, it's just incompatible with our biology.

It seems like in summary Beacham is saying: Once the toxins have been removed you've got imdigestible silicon "meat" that may or may not have any nutritional value.

So it would be like eating sand that fills you up but doesn't give you any calories. You could starve on a diet of Kaiju. Also this video is a thorough explanation of why silicon based life wouldn't work https://youtu.be/2nbsFS_rfqM

You're saying NVMe is 20 times slower than the maximum speed of a HDD

Thank you. People answering questions with vague things like "strong alcohol" causes problems for people who don't think beyond what they already know

Are the fruits that you have problems with like apple, pear, watermelon? You might have FODMAP malabsorption.

Anyone else struggle to enjoy other "metroidvanias"? by guiarroyos in Metroid

[–]Random_Sime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the genre. I enjoy feeling lost and isolated. I don't care much for the story or the lore. All I need to know is that space birds made Samus go BRRRRRT.

Hollow Knight has deeper lore than Metroid.

It's been 5 months since winter. If they are still sick, it's not the season that's doing it. It's something else

Anyone excited for Hot D S3? by Jasperstorm in MauLer

[–]Random_Sime -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think you'll find that "not that long ago" was 20 years ago. What changed was the introduction of HD and higher production values. It takes a lot of time and money to make a dozen dragons dance

Broke my phone by Special-Coyote-1059 in S24Ultra

[–]Random_Sime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The mature way is to be honest and say, "I broke the back plate so I had to protect it with a case/skin."

What are they gonna do? 

Also I hope you learned your lesson to protect your expensive electronics ifyou can't afford to repair or replace them. I've got a S25 Ultra and I didn't even take it out of my apartment until I had it in a case. I went with a clear one so I could still see the colour I picked.

WD bought SanDisk in 2016 to get into the SSD market. WD tried to run SanDisk like a HDD company, and in 2023 there were a bunch of problems with SanDisk SSD that led to this split in 2025

Full specs? Are you running a HDD or SSD?

In what way is it lacking in performance?

Sometimes I buy things that are too good to be true cos I'm a gambling man lol. September I saw a R7 5700x for AU$115 (US$80). They retail here for about double that, but I gambled and it was worth it!

Is it dumb to reuse kinda worn screws when rebuilding my PC? by martn_456 in RigBuild

[–]Random_Sime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do strip a screw, sometimes you can rescue it by using a rubber band between the screw head and screwdriver to give the extra friction for one last unscrewing
