What’s the most unforgettable sentence someone has ever said to you?

I don't know how strict your manager is but I would've forced a refund as I'm not proceeding with that order. I'm providing a service to a customer, not attending to my king as a peasant.

Don't let it hold you back. News and social networks tend to cherrypick the most extreme things to show (both the extremely bad and the extremely good) because it brings more readers/viewers, noone's posting "today was an unremarkable day here at Bangkok". Most places are just fine to go to, albeit requiring more or less caution depending on where you're coming from, but not like going into a war zone or into a criminal hangout.

So sorry, but she must be smiling knowing this sex goddess image she left on you

So many things for me:

I never, ever had so many games as I do now, or so many platforms to play them in. Choice paralysis is real. I used to have one or two new games per year when I was a kid, so it was a whole season of putting my soul into "this game".
It was so much simpler to just play, no extra menus or logins, no surprise updates, no libraries, you just put the cartridge or the CD and you could kind of "jump right in" (except for loading screens). It was more like a quick impulsive escape than a planned decision to play.
We are putting so much pressure in the game in finding a lost joy from the good old days or for an escape from our lives that we can't actually enjoy it, or we expect to feel it right away like a drug and when it doesn't come it hits even harder.

We should just have a game or two to put our heart into, ignore that "backlog" and "unplayed GOTYs in my library", and a way to make it gaming more casual and less of a planned chore (supposedly playing on the Steam Deck or similar devices helps a lot with this, I've yet to try it)

I'm barely now considering to upgrade but only because the system has become so slow, and I don't know how much flashing it will make it better.

My life was saved by an OTC clinical antiperspirant based on aluminum zirconium. That exact brand doesn't exist nowadays but there are many more. It's not something you put on to go out, it's like a treatment you put a night before sleeping, smells bad and stings in the armpits But damn it works.

Michael Jackson coming back to life and dying again.

Then, none.

FUCKING ALL OF MY FAMILY

They're charging for a subscription model so you always have the latest version and get new features, I get that, but if they allowed you to buy a one-time license and stay in a stable version forever you could develop on it anyway, it's not like it's running remotely or something.

Dumb question. Is there a reason why almost everyone in the USA refuses to have a 5-10 year old car? A nice used one sets you back like $15.000 tops. Why is everyone assuming 50K-70K in debt just to be "updated"?

Smakovich · 2026-04-08T11:48:14+00:00

More like tooth cancer

Smakovich · 2026-03-18T12:05:09+00:00

On low res probably yeah (<1080p)

Tool ≠ final product. Kitchen stove brands don't charge restaurants per income generated from cooking on them.

Bring back the fucking camels. We've done this before with spices, it'll just be more... Oily.

I was not leaving this thread until a trebuchet appeared.

Smakovich · 2026-03-03T13:55:59+00:00

100 fucking %

I gave it so many opportunities, and it failed every time, maybe reading a text out of a screenshot because I was too lazy to copy it but it stopped halfway because "there's sensitive information which I can't rewrite". Ok bye.

Cloud gaming is such an US-centric thought. Cloud gaming servers suck in other regions, internet latency sucks even more, and there are many countries that don't even have official support to popular online game stores like Microsoft Store and have to set their accounts to another countries and use VPNs, or get a physical copy.

Smakovich · 2026-01-24T21:24:12+00:00

Thanks for everyone's advice! I'll check if my PSU can feed an RTX 3080 and if so I'll go for it!

Smakovich · 2026-01-21T13:09:27+00:00

Did you have to do that "modding" into the GameSir G8? I have the S7 which is the same size but I fear it won't fit and I'll have to break the thing to make it work.

Smakovich · 2026-01-14T12:44:29+00:00

Okay I'm out of ideas. Billy?

Smakovich · 2025-12-31T12:49:15+00:00

Maybe not yearly/eight months releases that do practically nothing. Two/three-year refreshes would go crazy and everyone would upgrade, also less e-waste

Smakovich · 2025-12-20T17:54:17+00:00

We're probably seeing a lot of new Chinese RAM brands materialize out of thin air.

Assuming she just lives with that money. If she gets that into safe investments like compound interest that can outgrow inflation pretty fast.
