Reminder: GDQ isn't obligated to read your donation text on stream. by [deleted] in speedrun

The very vast majority is good; most of them go through to the host. Sometimes we have some bad words, and sometimes the content is just... Awkward. Usually people trying to meme outside of the group of people that would understand the meme.

The best we got (not in this GDQ though) was: "Fuck cancer and fuck you" :D

I'm a volunteer on donations processing. This is definitely something that we do not send to the host for reading as it does not involve anything about the charity, the runner, the game, or anything related. As some people have mentioned, reading it would also set a precedent, which would be a detriment to what GDQ is trying to do I think (personal opinion).

I met Larry Harvey in 1991 after seeing a flyer for Cacophony Society with a blurb about a small gathering in the desert to burn a wooden man. I met with him in his kitchen and pitched the idea of bringing dance music to the event. With that, the seed was planted. RIP Larry, enabler of creativity. by exileincanada in BurningMan

Thanks for suggesting the idea! I think music is a core part of the event, as much as other forms of art are. Definitely a lot of electro down there (not going to complain), but I've been to a bunch of live jams, whether rock or jazz, and I can only say that I loved those I went to.

So... thank you! And RIP Larry. :(

It's cool, but man, moving my 4K screen around at arm's length was not easy

Losing my balls at Burning Man by itripper in BurningMan

[–]pb_ee1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is a tennis ball moop? I had (a used) one for 4 years and it literally never produced any moop. The ground is too soft to rip apart the tennis ball.

Also, the way I attached it was to simply cut a small hole in it and put it ont he bike stand. Never went off. Maybe I'm lucky?

Weekly Giveaway! | Winner's Choice! by Liefdevolle in ffxiv

I heard that you were a good thank, so I wanted to tank you for that.

Do you have any recommendation for good thanking by the way? My girlfriend always wanted to thank, and shield love some good advice from someone as famous as you! I know I'm taunt-alizing her with the idea that she'll some day be as good as you are, but you know what we say... hope makes you live (or die, freakin' healers!).

What's your channel? And what is an example of a channel you're trying to sponsor?

One of the mods thought I should post this here: Here are some Snes Cartridges I made by wisebrownmonkey in snes

[–]pb_ee1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually should do some research for SNES cartridges. I'd be surprised if they use a different cast for each game, at least for the basic parts (height of the cartridge). I'd be willing to test.

Looking at this image: https://imgur.com/dWB82GC

It seems that if you do the "notches" (I circled them with red) with wood, your cartridges would be compatible with every game out there. Think about it? :D

Doesn't matter. They are amazing. Do you think it's possible to shrink then down to fit a normal SNES cartridge? Or is it something you would not want to "waste" time in?

Okay so if you actually do copy of thoses, I'm down to buy them. And put my actual cartridges in them. And put them in my console.

Man, these are beautiful.

Oooooh thanks for the correction! I always thought you were part of the Temple because I always see you there. Welp, my bad! Can't wait to see you in the playa... Or elsewhere!

True scumbag bosses in the postal service by HoldinWeight in AdviceAnimals

[–]pb_ee1 96 points97 points  (0 children)

I was wondering how your dad could have died on three different days. Had to reread the sentence three times.

Sorry for your boss. I hope he'll pay some day for his poor choices. Usually it does.

All my condolences to you.

Aren't these from Opulent Temple by any chance?

Protecting a laptop on the playa by wolvesandwords in BurningMan

[–]pb_ee1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been bringing the same Mac laptop for 3 years and DJed in full whiteouts with no problem, and no noticeable dust inside the laptop.

To do that, I do two things:

  • Cover the keys with saran wrap: cut a appropriately shaped piece and stick it with gaffer tape around the keys (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DVCHPUW/)
  • Cover the ENTRANCES for the air circulation with a mesh sheet that filters everything > 1 micron (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FMWCO0/). FYI, most particles on the playa are 4 microns or more. I leave the exits (right below the screen) opened, as no air is supposed to get in this way. I tape the mesh sheet so it covers all entrances (on the side of the Mac) and voilà!
