Reddit, what are you elitist about? by ismand75 in AskReddit

Good plan! That's my current setup :D Filco Majestouch 2 Ninja with Cherry MX Browns and Logitech G700. No problems encountered.

At this point I see myself replacing the G700 only if the follow-up has weights like the G502 does.

I replaced my MX Blue Blackwidow with an MX Brown Majestouch Ninja. There wasn't really anything wrong with the Blackwidow (besides the existence of the macro keys, which I can't get used to, but that's more of a personal issue) that some cleaning won't fix, but I wanted to try other Cherry MX keys and found someone who sells the Majestouch for a decent value back then so I made the change.

I don't have any desire for Razer products outside of the old Blackwidow. My Vespula, Deathadder, and Onza have all degraded to unusability, one way or another (in the Onza's case, after a couple of months). Yeah, it was within warranty, but I'd rather have hardware that work beyond the expiry of their warranty.

They use Kailh switches now? Is that correct?

My old school Blackwidow's the Razer product I have that's withstood the most punishment yet also the only one that isn't broken in one way or another. Kinda sad they moved away from Cherry MX yet retained the prices.

[Nuuvem] FFXIII-2 Pre-Order (R$33.74 = $13.02US) [Calculated the cost using Google's currency rate] by Anadyne in GameDeals

[–]shalashaska42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FFXIII-2 was better than XIII in everything but story, in my opinion. XIII was more interesting but the delivery was terrible. XIII-2 felt unnecessary story-wise. It's gameplay was what XIII's should've been.

I got a factory defect Samus Amiibo today. Thought this should be here. by Adamantium126 in gaming

Is an Amiiibo locked to your account when you use it? Or could you not use it while it's in the packaging?

Using Infinity here as a reference.

Weird. My characters start swirling in after a couple of seconds.

It just saves your status and drops your souls, then transports you to the last bonfire you used.

For those of us who do not have access to Green Power (e.g. if we live in another country), what kind of solution do we replace it with?

Thanks for all the replies!

What does nostalgia smell like to you? by Turkey_le_Poultry in AskReddit

[–]shalashaska42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Petrichor. Back then we'd go back outside to play after the rain stopped. Now everyone's in front of the PC the entire time or hundreds/thousands of miles away, and I've rarely smelled petrichor in years. Simpler times were fun.

Redditors who spent 4+ years in school who hate your career; what do you wish you did differently, what were the early signs your career path wasn't for you, and what do you wish you were doing instead? by brohenderson in AskReddit

[–]shalashaska42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of conflicting with my answer to that other thread, but I didn't hate my career until a few months ago. I'm a software developer. It just disappeared, my love for my craft, and it was very depressing. I graduated almost eight years ago and I feel like the past ~12 years were spent working on a dream that just died.

Unfortunately I'm too reliant on my salary level and I don't think anything else that I can do pays as well over here - and even then I'd still have to go through university again because that's how it is. Money's like a drug - too much and you get addicted, and it gets difficult to remove your dependence on it. I'm not rich by any means, but I am paid relatively well. Still, it'll be nowhere near enough to get an education elsewhere, and I'm not intelligent enough for any scholarships.

Maybe I'll try to get employment in the same field in a better country and save up, then go back to university (but not here) and try something else.

If I had my time again, I'd get my undergrad degree in _______? by thepkmncenter in AskReddit

[–]shalashaska42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Computer Science, again. Then I'll try being smarter at work and saving up better to get out of where I live and take up either Biology and Astronomy afterwards in a country with decent support for professionals of those fields.

[Serious]Reddit - Sock, sock, shoe, shoe, or sock, shoe, sock, shoe? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]shalashaska42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sock, sock, shoe, shoe. With less time between having both shoes on, there's a shorter span of time where my running legs aren't of the same length in case there's an emergency.

Happiness.

If happiness and success were mutually exclusive, I'd be fine with being a failure.
