Gotta love fucking over the consumer twice! They’re gonna get, what, $5 out of a class action? $5 and a burned out cpu, yay!
Perpetually tired mental health counselor, sometimes retro game streamer, comedian, Mensan, coffee connoisseur, bacon lover, chronic pain survivor, nefarious pirate, and generally all-round nice dude…

Fuschia on black is very hard to read for some people. Personally, even with my glasses on, the text fuzzes out. It’s very jarring
“You don’t buy the beer here. You rent it!”
“Alexa, all lights off.”
Now, talk to me about going up the stairs from the basement alone…
Everyone knows that’s how the evil clown, ghost, or whatever basement demon living in your house gets you…
Grabs your ankles ands pulls you right back down…
Yo ho! Yo ho!
Shut up, brain! When we were 9, you didn’t even know what cringe was!
I look forward to the day when I pass my screen name on to my son…
And, to this day, I still crave that super thin wedge of pizza once in a while.
The torch has been passed…
Sites like that saved me thousands getting my psych degree. God bless professors like this. Also the ones who were like, “the new edition of the book you need for this semester is $500, but you can get the previous edition for $5 at this site. Here’s copies of the pages that were changed.” or “I photocopied every page you need for this semester from the book for all of you.”
You forgot the sound of a Sunchips bag. My not even conceived children are going to be deaf because I opened one back in the 90s.
God, I can’t make it through the whole thing. Listening to him blathering on and on causes me actual physical discomfort.
I sincerely don’t get how anyone listens to his rambling tripe and is like, “This guy totally gets it!”
A fun rabbit hole my buddy sent me down a couple weeks ago was how these guys are actually a secret nazi group.

Personally, I’ve tried using Gemini for a couple weeks now and last night decided to disable it. It can’t even manage commands like “play music” to open Spotify, or start calls and texts without being unlocked. The whole point of a hands free assistant for me is to be hands free… I use it in my car for calls and texts, literally the primary reason to have a cell phone. Who gives a crap about “creative inspiration” if they’re not even prioritizing the basic features of a phone?
Got to wonder if that includes free API access… 🤔
I’ve been servicing controllers for at least 25 years now. The new analog sticks they put in now are terrible. Particularly because they’re not actually analog anymore. Any dirt they pick up blocks the digital contacts and stops them from registering the stick position. That dirt gets pushed to the edges of the stick range and you end up with an outer dead zone.
WD-40 makes an electrical contact cleaner that works excellent when my Oculus controller starts drifting. Don’t even need to take it apart. Just pull the battery, spray and roll the stick around, and let it dry. It’ll be like brand new. Totally saved me from having to ship it back to the company. For Switch controllers or any controller with a battery that’s not easily removed and can’t be completely shut off, you’d need to actually take it apart to clean. I’ve seen guys do it without removing the battery, but you risk shorting them. Only one I’d be scared of is the PS5 controller. I’ve seen the breakdown on them and there’s a lot to damage accidentally in it. Otherwise, most controller breakdowns are pretty easy and can be found on youtube. Just takes the right tools, which you can get on Amazon for like $10.
I got one yesterday that was like, “Identify all the pictures with busses.” and I swear to god, they were all just static. I just clicked continue and it was like, “No… There are definitely busses here.”
That’s such a shame.
I passed on the opportunity to go down there to study the pyramids back in my college days. I was a few years into anthropology studies and really would have loved to go, but came up with too many excuses not to go… My Spanish wasn’t good enough. I didn’t want to fall behind on classes and push back my graduation. Fucking idiot that I was passed on an opportunity some people only dream of.
One of my Mexican friends was just saying how worried she is to go back down to visit her family and boyfriend.
“Con” has brought us such deliciousness as “con queso” and “con carne.” It has my vote.
