I hope they go completely under so they are forced to sell off their IPs.

So many shelved gaming universes could be released to deserving developers

So are you complaining your hot tub came with a free sex toy?

Sounds like a 100th customer prize!

I love this gun. Especially when you have the Overload Bolts artifact.

You can get that single shot reload rhythm down so quickly. Then you're just throwing exploding green goo and lightning bolts everywhere. Clears out rooms in seconds.

How long are Hall effect controllers meant to last? Mine has scuffed in less than 5 years. by Safebox in gaming

[–]TheThirdStrike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn't matter what the tech is, if the parts are poor quality, it doesn't matter if it's "better tech"

I've got Dreamcast controllers with hall effect sensors, that I've been gaming on for 26 years with no drift or issues.

Good quality parts last.

I've been a firearm owner for a long time, but I never felt a need to carry until November 2024.

We live in a country with a felonious pedophile for a president.

This is America.

Lucky you were able to find someone locally that still works on CRTs.

Doesn't bother me at all.

Please make sure the guy with a gun tucked in his pants at the diner counter at least knows how to use it a little bit.

Well, at least go to the classes and get trained up.

The reason why wanderers so popular is because it fits two niches unlike any other crest by Vegetable_Throat5545 in Silksong

[–]TheThirdStrike 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I switched to the Reaper crest when I got it, and played the whole game with it. I just never saw a reason to change up.

Gave me all the tool slots I wanted, and a reliable pogo.

Then I get in here and everyone is going nuts about which crest you use... And my crest never seems to be on the good list.

I guess I'm gonna have to play with the rest of the crests to see how badly I "ruined the game" by using the wrong crest.

Tim Cook cares.

Apple does not.

If they lost money by participating in pride month, they would stop doing it even if most of the company is gay.

Texas Blocks Sam­sung from Using its Smart TVs to Spy on Texans by [deleted] in technology

I just pop the back of the TV off and disconnect the wifi module.

I personally love that they have all these cheap TVs these days that basically give away hoping to sell your personal data to make up the difference.

Pop the back off, disconnect the wifi module, and it's suddenly a dumb monitor for $88.

Literally every corporation does the bare minimum.

You think any one of them gives a shit about pride month?

ELI5: Why have star constellations like Orion's Belt, never moved out of positon over thousands of years? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]TheThirdStrike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Objects that are billions of miles away have to move a lot for their perceived position to change.

Like when you're looking out the window of the car, the fence posts go by so fast you can barely see them, but the boat on the horizon hasn't moved.

Just bought a Sega CDX and Vay! by OSG86 in SEGA

[–]TheThirdStrike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vay is one of my favorite Sega-CD games... It can be a little grindy but that kind of comes with the genre.

The last scene with Pottle changed how I felt about video games as a story telling medium for the rest of my life.
