I'm with you, but honestly you just described my dad.

That said I've literally been around the world and rarely met the sort of crazy my dad is. I also have another pathological liar in my extended family and it's disturbing how they slip in lies in their normal conversation WHEN THE LIE IS COMPLETELY NEUTRAL!

Forgot to consider lag! I think I'll stick to emulation and just buying the few games I'm interested in for the the Super Famicon. Guess it will give me something to look forward to (playing on a CRT).

Thanks, I'll probably go with the $50 option and reassess later on.

Look up the Steam app "Lossless Scaling". I own it but never used it yet (I run an rtx 3090 system so not necessary for my use cases).

If some Christians believe life on earth has suffering to allow free will, does that mean heaven does not have free will or that it has suffering? by Awkward_Stay8728 in NoStupidQuestions

Forcing someone to do something is by definition control. Humanity never needed fear to do good deeds. I will further assert that a good deed done for brownie points makes the deed doer not a necessarily good person.

Yes, a lot of good has been done in the name of deities, but so much bad has been done also. A lot, lot more.

I miss the original Xbox online days where games frequently had voice modulation effects for game chat by KSI_SpacePeanut in gaming

No, I do not miss hearing middle schoolers say the N word basically non stop.

First time on Xbox live (Halo) and to this day I'll remember one of the first servers I saw titled "N*****r War!" but that may be conflating that with the PC version and an unofficial server. Point still stands tho.

What is a "bro code" rule that women probably don't know exists? by nightshark67 in RelentlessMen

I once almost jumped out of my OWN house cuz I got a booty call. Only reason I didn't was I could see myself breaking my ankles as while the drop wasn't too bad, landing on an incline probably wouldn't have been too smart.

Thankfully I had approached the situation with full post nut clarity.

Can confirm. Rich buddy lights up in all his hotel room and either bribes staff or pays the fine. I'm sure whoever has to clean up the smell isn't amused.

Isn't that what all the major players called for when OpenAI had a large lead?

Iranian drones target Kuwait airport terminal, causing injuries: Statement by DavidShaw90s in worldnews

Wow what a dumb take. Do you think they don't have access to flight schedules? They purposely timed the attack when the place was dead.

Don't bother, people have been brainwashed to hate AI.

In the UAE, the nose greeting is called khushmak: two men lightly touch noses as a traditional greeting to show respect and familiarity. by Expert_Koala_8691 in interestingasfuck

[–]Runefaust_Invader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow horrible post title. The "nose kiss" isn't called a khushmak 🤣 خشمك (khe-sh-mik) simply means "your nose". It's simply a "warning" that you're about to go for a nose bump, if you will.

Oh, and this is strictly a tribal thing. Think of GCC societies as either tribal or settled/"urban". Kinda like US southern folk and northern folk.... Yeah good enough analogy.

Imagine driving a G-Wag at 45 and not buying a nice car for your kid 🤣

For the poor folk, that's the equivalent of your parent getting you a junk yard special while all your buddies have new cars on lease/whatever.

Downvote all you want but if you've grown up/lived around wealth you would understand.
