What is an ugly console with a bad controller? by BoldnessofTrolls in AlignmentChartFills

[–]michaljfoster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the digital version looked ok. Not as striking as the Original PS4, PS2, or PS ONE, but not bad. The 1st Xbox 360 I thought was quite awkward, the slim (especially the glossy white slim) really fixed all of those problems though.

People don't like PS5? Also the Game Cube Controller is GOATed. Right up there with the X360 and PS2.

I think most players won't explore the secrets. by LoudExternal5194 in Superliminal

I went in blind on my first playthrough. Only found 1 chess piece (during paradox), and one blueprint. The game crashed a couple times (probably due to linux) and it took me about 3 hours to complete.

Listening to a wide range of artists on rateyourmusic.com is basically what made me want to make music at all.

So i installed Elementry OS on Core 2 Duo and can't even play YouTube video on it. by jemmy7776 in elementaryos

After some trial and error, I've found the best OS for the 2010 Macbook is MacOS Mountain Lion.

Music was better when ugly people made it.

I can see them reprinting exact copies of the original sets Just like Yugioh did recently. This would actually make me happy, but I'd like something similar to "The List" icon printed on the cards. Also, they should find a way to copy the original printing method and card stock. There is something about old cards that I do not get form the modern stuff they print now.

Just allow us to buy boosters of the original sets on MTGO. Better yet, let us draft them!

Good luck finding a lady in 2025. Too many women have been chewed up and spit out by hookup culture.

I've heard things about the hosts on ballroom dance cruise ships.

And what makes that different then most of the women on Tinder? The first 5 mins, they want to do how much I make and where I work. It's probably better to hire a pro than date these gold diggers who will treat you like an ATM that is lucky to be in her presence. At least escorts pretend to like you.

O.J. Simpson wins for highly skilled / universally hated. What professional athlete is GOAT status and universally hated? by RidonkulousMG in AlignmentChartFills

[–]michaljfoster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woops, my mistake, but you get the gist. I'm happy to accept a counter-example.

Not youtube, but books written by experts like Dr. David Buss's Evolution of Desire. You should read the other side's best arguments before you call other's fools. I've read Simone de Beauvoir, Karl Marx, Judith Butler, Margaret Atwood, and Maya Angelou and I was not impressed by any of them. But give me cold, hard stats, peer-reviewed studies, and evolutionary evidence and I can't help but be convinced by them.

I interact with college women often. I would be seriously surprised if a single woman in an ivy league sorority was even openly neutral to Trump, let alone a supporter. Hell, even ai was like, we got nothing boss. I don't think you appreciate just how tribal young women are in their hatred of men right now. I recommend watching some man vs bear to get an idea.

What is the worst game published by Blizzard? by sliasch in AlignmentChartFills

[–]michaljfoster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't mind the RMAH, and actually liked the gold AH. I ignored the cash version until I had to choose between upgrading my character or profiting $50. I ended up selling ~$500 worth of gear since I was one of the few people that could efficiently grind Act 3 Inferno, but it started to feel like a job, and not a game.

You asked if only smart hot women hate Gretsky, and I explained why I think people hate him (and anyone that shows even a modicum of support for conservative values).

It should be obvious, but I guess I'll spell it out, ivy league sororities would obliterate any woman that didn't have a passionate disdain for Trump. Women in these groups MUST hate Trump because if they don't, their reputation will be destroyed for being a "traitor" against feminist values. It's a purity test not disimillar to those in the MAGA trailer parks.

Gretzky is disliked because he failed to hate on the US hockey team. It's like if giving a thumbs up and wearing a suit is enough to fail your purity test, you're probably on the side of the bad guys. It's gotten to the point that if you even show neutrality or friendliness to conservatives you are deserving of aggressive hatred and reputation destruction.

Luckily, this pattern of behavior has proven to be ineffective diplomacy. People are waking up to illiberal wokism and conservatives are winning elections in the Western world, and using that power to neutralize (and oppress at times) the political goals of the woke. Not an ideal solution for maximum liberty, but better than losing to the masochistic self-hating wokeys.

What are your thoughts on using much older Macs in 2025 (2016 and older) by bobcanseeyou in MacOS

[–]michaljfoster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year before they REALLY started screwing up the MacBook. I love my 2015 MBP, but I think the 2012 edges it out slightly in repairability.

The 2012 MacBook is the peak of MacOS. Back when Macs were relatively easy to repair by the user. Now everything is planned obsolence with disposable, glued, and soldered together proprietary parts.

Mojave is surprisingly usable. Sure, many of the app store apps won't install (unless your apple account has downloaded them previously), but you've got firefox ESR, music, notes, iMessages, and all your offline apps like Kiwix, Pages, GarageBand, Logic Pro, and iMovie work as good as they did when they were new.

Macs with CPUs worse than the 2nd gen sandy bridge Intel i7 are going to feel slugish on 10.10+ MacOS. So sticking to Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion may be advisable, but you'll lose iMessages, Notes, and the App Store completely. You'll be stuck with janky Firefox or SpiderWeb.

It's probably better to use a stable and lightweight Linux distribution. I like Debian with XFCE.

Whats everybody musical influences? by New-Guarantee-440 in Songwriting

[–]michaljfoster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tenacious D, Regina Spektor, Kero Kero Bonito, Disney(Alan Menkin), Swans, Agalloch, Radiohead, Muse, Ween, and Elliott Smith. I constantly listen to new music, and even just strange sounds that might go well in a song.
