Nintendo takedown in 3…2…1…

Same, during a boss fight in Elden Ring. I died.

A little of both, but I think it’s mostly enshittification. I’ve had nothing but trouble with Asus, to the point where I don’t buy their products anymore and try to persuade others to avoid them.

I agree, but I have a problem I don’t know how to overcome. Maybe someone here has an idea.

I’m ADHD as fuck.

It’s the inattentive type and it cuts both ways. It’s not uncommon for me to turn on my phone and get distracted from what I had intended to do by notifications. On the flip side, if I don’t have notifications to let me know to check something, I may just forget the app exists entirely. If it’s something important, that’s not great.

Anyone have any ideas?

Ugh, blockchain. During the pandemic, I had absolutely no work to do so my boss asked me to make a presentation for him to present on the merits of blockchain. When my response was that it’s overhyped bullshit, he was not thrilled.

I made the requested presentation but it made me feel dirty, so I alt texted every slide’s graphics to include the counterpoint to the bullshit benefits being presented.

Playing this game anew would be an upside to early onset dementia for me.

Ahoy!

I’m the same way. I take like a quarter hit and I’m alright. The whole puff? Gone for hours.

And board game players!

Little Grandpa story time:

Ponies are generally nicer than horses, but I was raised believing ponies were angry, vicious little assholes. My father was bucked off of a pony in his twenties, causing him to break a rib and paralyze half of his diaphragm. Being the actual asshole in this story, he never stopped to think that maybe he was too heavy and too drunk for a pony, so he spread pony hate throughout his life. I want angry ponies as I dislike my father and on a primal level think they’d keep me safe from people like him, like two pissy, grass eating charms to protect against narcissists.

But how else will they get a bigger house? Nicer, larger yacht? More private jets?

Like, I kinda understand the “more more more!” mentality. As my income has gone up over the years, there’s always something more my monkey brain tells me I should want. A nicer, more comfortable car. A new video card. Two angry ponies. You know how it is. I tell it to shut up because I have more than enough already.

I’m not a sociopath, though, so at no point has my monkey brain told me to enslave others so I can have nicer stuff.

I appreciate the intent but this is just what happens when you put yourself out on the Internet. Hell, on an old account I made a post about how to use a waffle sandwich maker with cheddar biscuit mix and it was 10% downvoted. I think it’s some combination of valid (if unstated) criticism, accidental downvotes, and some people just being assholes.

I don’t care, I’m just trying to provide what I think is useful information. If people have a problem but don’t speak up about it, I can’t do anything so I’m not going to worry about it. As another poster mentioned below, they’re welcome to a full refund. I’ll even triple it. Triple refund!

I’m on blahaj so I don’t see downvotes. I’m guessing people who (incorrectly) think my statement of the details of the law is my support for it.

I just respond with a hearty “yeeearghhhh!” and continue the conversation. The coworkers that know get it, the rest think I’m a lunatic.

Agreed. The only time I was suspended was because I filed a charge back for an incomplete, buggy game that was sold as finished. It took so long to even get running that I was just over the refund time limit and they refused to make an exception. There was some verbiage about being banned if I continued to do charge backs. I just stopped using Steam.

I’d think it was outside actors trying to troll if this wasn’t so common and predictable.

Here’s a great article about this kind of overreactive purity drama in leftist spaces.

Exiting the Vampire Castle

There’s a ton of misinformation on this post and some of those spreading it seem to be vigorously doing so.

I’d be unsurprised if some .world’ers crash the comments with liberal hot takes.

Funny how you can basically buy those. Just gotta be filthy rich and ethically bankrupt.
