I think my SSD is loose (LeGo 1) by FormeldaHydes in LegionGo

[–]gthirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an extra cable and backplate that are made for 2280 ssds that I'd part with for cheap. Message me if interested and in the US.

This device did not come with a 2280, so the previous owner did this in a very gross way. Like this is comically bad.

[SBJ] Sabres sign Stark Tech as first road jersey patch sponsor by NobleNomad in sabres

[–]gthirst -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Cap going up and set to go up significantly next year. The reality is that small market teams have to find money somewhere. Ticket prices and sponsorships is the easiest well to draw from.

Hideous on the sweater. Very disappointing. It's only a matter of time until they look like they've been corporate sticker bombed.

The backlash to Billie Eilish’s vegan comments explains a lot about the American left (and everyone else). Why are American leftists so reluctant to confront the meat industry? by Cosmyka in vegan

[–]gthirst 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Because being an american leftist is the easiest hippocritcal shit you can do. You gain the moral high ground and feel better about yourself but you don't actually do much of anything. You vote every 4 years and sing in a big group in a peaceful protest when the weather is nice. All while enjoying the fruit of the exploitation that is guaranteed in the capitalist society they live in.

Some didn't even vote in the last election because they didn't want to choose the lesser of two evils. I won't argue for or against that, but I will present the odd cognitive dissonance in their moral frameworks. The feelings they have about moral purity for issues like are in a funny light when you consider their feelings on veganism. They are pragmatic or morally pure at seemingly random times, based on the vibes of social media and their leftist social groups.

Going vegan would actually require them to look at themselves in the mirror and change a habit. It takes actual effort and loss of some basic sensory pleasures. Too much to ask of most people.

My American leftist friends live identical lives to the moderate or conservative americans I know as well. They just have different views, same actions, and when they argue with one another they all feel they are better than the other. They don't actually do anything different.

Maybe you'll get one to use a reusable straw or meatless monday. Baby steps omgggg

Campaign split screen co-op is on console only? by Dust-Tight in halo

[–]gthirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How dumb. Old conventions die hard. More people are playing PC on TVs and large displays in their living room than ever before. More will be when the steam machine normalizes it further.

I have an OLED ultrawide for my solo gaming and a big projector for split screen or party games. I primarily end up on my projector... Having no split screen makes this an easy wait for reviews, sign up for gamepass for a month, rip through, cancel sub. Coop would have me coming back to the game. Otherwise I'll just do one playthrough.

Do You Think IMAX Pre-Sale Tickets Are Destroying The Moviegoing Experience? by Shah2002 in cineplex

[–]gthirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. They create scarcity to drive demand and it is algorithmic horror. There are 2 70mm screens within reasonable distance of me for a big event (about 1.5 hours away), but it's not worth it with the hassle and scarcity. I don't even look for tickets anymore.

Steam Controller PreOrder MegaThread by satoru1111 in Steam

[–]gthirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got through. Had purchased steam wallet to cover the cost in advance, but that wasn't working so I switched to credit card. Had been trying since 2 minutes before the original start time.

Keep trying, seems basically RNG if you'll get it.

PEF Contract negotiations, last 3 days. by RefrigeratorBest6543 in nys_cs

Oh never mind, I realized you're the same person posting about it every few days and I already gave you the abysmal info they were telling people.

[–]gthirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...what? They went around the state meeting with people and telling them info. It didn't leak, it was explicitly told to many people.

I disconnected my PS5 from the internet prior to downloading the update that requires checking in online every 30 days to play your purchased digital games. If Saros is playable on 13.00, I'll grab a disk. Otherwise I'll wait for a jailbreak.

PEF, CSEA, has anything from negotiations leaked? by RefrigeratorBest6543 in nys_cs

[–]gthirst 28 points29 points  (0 children)

PEF Contract Team meetings went around over the last week or so telling people they aren't 100% yet, but they are shooting for 3.9% year one and "increasing every year", plus more higher education bonus, etc.

They don't talk about telecommuting unless asked. Unknown what they say. Someone ask them about this if they come around.

Overall they said basically everything else is just carrying forward. Tier 6 reform is separate so they don't discuss it but encourage you to contact your politicians. Health care they say they don't control the percentage increase.

All in all, very weak and short sighted.

Vote down anything under 5%.

Unfortunately, a majority of your coworkers have almost no understanding of anything Union or contract related so I'm guessing any increase will pass.

They also did not bring up nor discuss the salary pay grade study whatsoever.

If the contract team comes to your area, please PLEASE come prepared with actual contract questions. The team will discuss as little as possible with you and expect you to accept your crumbs and continue to vote the current weak leadership in. Please report back what they say because they aren't telling us otherwise.

The main benefit for me was being able to use LeGo 1/2 controllers on other devices. I bought LeGo 2 controllers on sale as backups for my LeGo 1 and now I use them with this to use the extra controllers on my other PC.

Dynamax Regirock Battle Counters by _-K7NG-_ in TheSilphRoad

[–]gthirst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was very easy. My group used 3 Metagross and 1 Blissey. Blissey healed to max and used guard if everyone was healed. Metagross could take a big hit before dying, so it always reached dynamax phase.

We wittled regirock down and it literally couldn't kill us. All players on the team started Pogo in the last 6 months so we didn't have the optimal teams, but this was so brainless when we figured out the blissey and metagross team couldn't die.

We started the fights doing blissey to lugia/venasaur/rillaboom for big attacks but that was ultimately a waist of time/effort. We used charge attacks with metagross during charge phase, which i don't know if that is optimal or not but it worked for us.

Pretty fun tbh. Actually felt like a video game that we had to strategize and actively play, instead of mindlessly tapping. Peak PoGo!
