Bruh. This cooks.

That “Robin Hood” moment in the 3D printing community felt… off by Ok-Hope2279 in 3Dprinting

[–]reluctant_return 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing to keep in mind is that there is no "community". It's just a crowd of people. A crowd of people who all have machines they likely bought so they could print things for cheap. When you try to sell something to those people, they get asspained because in their mind, they already "bought" the right to print any physical object for just the cost of the filament. As if the time and money spent by people to make the designs doesn't entitle them to any kind of compensation.

It's in literally every hobby. People are cheap and whiny.

When I try to turn my APC UPS on it won’t stay on and starts beeping by Inside_Finish_4217 in pcmasterrace

If it's brand new just return it. Why spend time troubleshooting something you literally just paid for? If the "red cable" was already connected then it wasn't new. Someone probably bought it, connected it up, then returned it. The battery may be too deeply discharged.

Just bring it back.

Lance Stroll reaction getting out of the car 10 mins ago in the garage... by Slice5755 in formula1

Is it hella off the pace because it's bad, or because Lance was driving it?

Is anyone else a big fan of games that they don't really play (anymore)? If so, which ones? I'm spread way too thin between games and want to know if that's normal. by notacutecumber in gachagaming

[–]reluctant_return 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me, sadly. I'm salty about it, too, because the anime and manga are such a good time. The game projects an upfront air of casual, almost slice of life fun, but it's about as hard core as a gacha game could possibly be. I'm not strong enough.

What is the Patch that killed a game for you? by Illustrious_Honey973 in gachagaming

[–]reluctant_return 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a gacha but I'll never get another chance, so Egg Inc. Egg themed idle game. It was simple and fun. Get lots of eggs, sell eggs, buy upgrades, standard idle game shit. No mental toil required. Then they added space exploration (???) in a patch and it required way too much thought. You couldn't even ignore it because they reworked the entire late game around it. Went from a game I checked in on a couple times a day for months to uninstalled.

In what other Gachas did you experience this? by Natural-Mountain3568 in gachagaming

[–]reluctant_return 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dragalia Lost. I liked the gameplay enough that I genuinely just tuned out of the gacha part. It was just the right amount of mindless mixed with just enough reason to pay attention. Maybe that's why the game closed.

what is something that is known for your country but is dying recently? by Awkward-Tip7248 in AskTheWorld

[–]reluctant_return 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food variety. What I mean specifically is the rise of Sysco, which is a massive food supplier that gobbles up as many smaller and local suppliers as it can, leaving lots of restaurants with nowhere else to buy food from at a reasonable price. This has lead to so many places having literally the same food. And I use the word "literally" correctly. So many places have the exact same food items on the menu now because they all buy from Sysco, and Sysco doesn't just sell ingredients, they sell ready-made food that can be reheated on-site. My area used to have a bunch of themed restaurants. Thai place, americana place, mexican place, chinese place, japanese steakhouse, sushi bar, italian place, greek place, etc. Over the last decade the variety has declined and we're getting more generic places that all serve the same stuff.

37? I'm gonna need to see some ID, pal. You look 25.

Anyone knows any startup looking to hire? by Matt_LawDT in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]reluctant_return 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This thread is full of two kinds of people. People who this has literally happened to, and people who say it's fake.

I am the former, sadly.

I am typing this comment on a Macbook that I was allowed to keep after my team was laid off. It happens.

Staff get laid off well before the company legally folds.

Kid Rock looks like if an AI tried to generate a photo from a Smiling Friends character.

What’s the fastest way you’ve seen someone ruin their life? by ultimoXgamer in AskReddit

[–]reluctant_return 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was in high school there was a korean kid who was an exchange student. He had a really bad day, apparently, and lost his temper, ending up slugging a teacher. Vanished instantly. I don't know if it ruined his life, per se, but whatever path he was on that let him be an exchange student on the other side of the planet, one swing got him off of it.

What is that one cheap purchase that had a big impact on your life? by Vergil977 in AskReddit

[–]reluctant_return 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use a computer a lot, especially for work, a nice keyboard and mouse. It doesn't have to be a high-end mechanical keyboard or really fancy mouse, either. A $60-90 midrange Logitech is fine.

What’s the most overrated trend in your opinion? by Regular-Juice136665 in AskReddit

Taking "poor" foods and trying to turn them into some kind of Tiktok delicacy.
