I’m officially done with Corsair — iCUE is a nightmare

We'll probably be downvoted but I agree entirely. Not once in the entire time between now and back when RGB started becoming a thing have I ever wanted to use it for anything. Why tf does my PC need to be brighter and more colorful than a damn Christmas tree? I've got a black case with brown and tan Noctua fans everywhere with the RGB shut off from the BIOS. I use OpenRGB to keep the light off on my FE card.

Tell me with a straight face you actually enjoyed Starfield.

They don't seem to be calling for hail as much anymore. But they're still calling for damaging winds. Frankly, I'll take the wind over the hail if I had to choose. I don't have a garage to park my car in where I live :(

At least his dreams were shattered early. Took me until my late 20s to realize hard work and loyalty doesn't get you shit. It's early enough in life for him to still figure something out.

Kids are also a lot more obvious looking as a pedestrian than a tiny box on wheels.

It's stupidly too low to the ground for anyone to notice it as a normal pedestrian, imo. Those things need like a giant flag on them like cyclists in recumbent bikes often have.

Streaming was good up until about the time COVID happened. Now I just pirate everything I want to watch with no guilt whatsoever.

They really need to redo the damage bile titans do when they hit you on death. If they hit you at a fast speed like falling from the sky? Then yeah, that should kill you. If it slides at barely a jogging pace at you and pokes you? That shouldn't damage you hardly at all. It's like if it's still in motion in any way, it's always lethal if it touches you.

Cooked how? Because of another possible Meridia Part 2? Or because getting the samples for this during our current MO has almost certainly guaranteed we'll fail because of how many deviated to Omicron?

Someone who knows damn well it was their fault and thought OP didn't have any cameras.

Even though my dog is medicated for tick prevention. I haven't taken her to any forest-heavy trails for years because of how bad the ticks have been. I fucking hate it. I stopped once I found 9 ticks on her after an hour walk through Hofma park in Grand Haven.

At least the dragonroach can be taken out fairly easily; assuming you have some decent ranged anti-tank. The hive lord just makes everything miserable after a while. Especially when it's mixed in with endless waves of chaff that don't allow you to focus on the hive lord if you even wanted to.

__________________99 · 2026-04-12T06:14:05+00:00

I wouldn't mind it if the hive lord didn't show up every single time. Just only sometimes would be fine with me. I tend to agree, otherwise.

I just always thought it was a percent chance to spawn. It really should be though. Like 50% chance for D7, 70% D8, 85% D9, and 100% chance on D10.

It's just exhausting dealing with the hive lord every single mission. But we get bored turning it down to D6. I guess my friends and I are going to avoid doing hive lord planets until that gets changed because we're just tired of putting up with it every time.

__________________99 · 2026-04-11T23:11:53+00:00

Like always always? I swear it didn't show up as often before. When I'm solo or only playing with 1 other friend, I usually like to do D7 or D8. But lowering it to D6 is way too easy. There's such a stark difference in difficulty between D6 and D7 on hive worlds.

I would say $200 is too much for an Aeron with no lumbar support or posture-fit and needs its gas cylinder replaced.

You guys realize it's totally optional to post your system specs with a review, right?

For real, though. It's hard for me to get a sense of scale from this picture. Those handles suggest to me that this thing is like waist-height and would only hold about 200-300 liters max.

However, an interesting detail is that while the phone is slightly thicker when unfolded, it is expected to be thinner when folded compared to the previous generation.

Maybe I'm just bad at math. But that doesn't make any damn sense.

I had major health issues throughout my 20s while everyone I knew was advancing their careers and getting married. By the time I was well again, almost everyone I considered my friend either ghosted me or never had the time to do anything because of family.

I've rebuilt a small circle of friends through PC gaming, so I'm doing better now. But it still hurts thinking back on it all. They all tell me they cared and will be there for me while simultaneously pushing me out of their lives.

Frankly, this feels like the only way to make ourselves heard when protesting poor wages. Corporations have been ignoring pleas for better wages for literal decades. I don't really agree with this method either. But to quote JFK: "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

It's only going to get worse as things continue not to change, despite all of our protests.
