You mean like marking a post? Never done it just because I "could". Only ever done it if I actually wanted that shit gone, like it was spam or spoilers.

Irl no. I'm no rat. Never took what someone said to me and turned it against them. I assume if you tell me something, you wouldn't have told me if you wanted me to use it against you, and I respect that you could have just not told me in the first place.

Oh

This is what happens when you're out of the loop for 3 days.

When you say that I imagine a buff white guy with blonde hair and dark skin in a swimsuit, but it's also gender neutral.

I'm sorry if you didn't want a literal answer.

After making this topic I realized I shouldve just discorded you a week ago.

In any case, I took the whole rig down to Geek Squad. Ill let them sort it out. At the very least theyll clean the dust out my vents.

Honestly helly/other people here are better with those kinds of computer hardware issues, some people pay attention to modern hardware releases and their issues way more than I do.

The UK wants to steal your treasure what else is new lol

This combined with frustration gaming is a large part of why I've never liked the various Soulsborn games. Everything is bleak and miserable, and there's no real happy endings.

George RR Martin basically ruined fantasy. Everything has to be bleak and grim now because "dark" gets confused with "deep".

I actually completely agree with this and think it's a great criticism, we should write more happy fantasy worlds just because it doesn't get done enough. I also don't like the gameplay of spending 2 hours repeating the same boss.

It's always got to be zombie apocalypse 3000 years in the future forgotten technology stuff. It's easier to write though because you don't have to come up with a brand new culture.

What kind of GPU do you have? You might be using your integrated graphics on accident.

Make sure your display is plugged into the GPU and not the motherboard. The one that runs horizontally.

Well that was all kinds of weird and prejudiced. Says more about them than anyone else.

I spent 2 months with a finger infection that had to be cut out, so I always wash and put Neosporin on it, and after a day I take off the bandage and let it dry out.

Idk, I guess it would be nice, I would have to invest most of it.

The idea that the lottery ruins peoples lives is a total lie. By every metric people who win the lottery have their lives improved vastly. Medically, financially, socially, everything.

Yeah you have a lot of friends who hang around you because you have money. It's because you can afford to take them nice places instead of spending all your and their time slaving away.

Remember you'll probably have to pay like 60% of it back in taxes.

I just listened to a guy who lives in his car and hasn't been to a doctor in 15 years. He said he doesn't care because he wants to die before he hits 40 anyway. He's about to get fired from his job because he falls asleep in front of customers. (union saved his ass)

Of course, despite being in a tax bracket where he doesn't pay taxes, he primarily blamed all his money going to taxes and union dues. 90% of people who complain about taxes barely pay any in my experience. Same with the $3/week union dues that guarantee them all these benefits. His plan is to win big with poker. He says he's not good at poker.

Maybe we can start using coded language. Donald Trump can be Big Burrito, Joe Biden can be Cornpop. The rest you can slowly figure out over time.

All money sending apps like zelle or venmo tell people not to send money to people they don't know and yet every day I get calls from people wanting the bank to reimburse them for stupidly not following those instructions.

Ten years of banking experience has taught me that most people who fall for scams are warned and proceed to do it anyway.

It could happen to anyone. I don't know the name of the channel, but there is a youtube hacker that specializes in catching scammers that lost access to his youtube channel because he fell for a phishing scam. It turned into an Elon Musk fan channel.

Yeah some old people are more vulnerable, but so is everyone else.

And one more example, a Mario "battle royale" game was taken off the web right before Mario 99 was released. It's almost like they look at interest in fan projects and then delete them before (and only until) swooping up that interest.

Yeah they cracked down on AM2R, then they released their own Metroid 2 Remake. Funnily enough, they have never gone after the Mother 3 translation, and they have to be very aware of its existence.

And they went after the Twilight Princess HD fan project, but only by taking down the videos. This was right before the Twilight Princess Wii U version released.

The creator was smart and instead of giving up, he just went silent for 6 months until he started again, and there was no more trouble. Nintendo takedowns are probably the best indicator of what they are about to release.

All beers pretty much taste the same to me tbh.

ConfusedTorchic posted...

nintendo always cracks down on stuff like that regardless

They cracked down on Mario romhacks before Mario Maker and emulators before virtual console, and another example I can't remember. Other times they crack down because something goes viral, like an ambitious mod. There's generally something that triggers their lawsuits.

My money is on an ARM based portable successor with more powerful but similar hardware that would mean a switch emulator could reuse code easily. We already predicted the Yuzu crackdown would be followed up by a console announcement.

Also with Nintendo bet on them seeking out the weakest hardware possible, and ARM is king for mobile. Don't get your hopes up for the GameCube 2.

What's wrong with Corona? Should I try something else?

Yeah and judging by their crackdown on switch emulation it's probably going to be juiced up switch.

Meth works way better.

I know a person that unironically does this.

What better way to clean your house than by blowing out your dopamine receptors?

Also mobile touch screen input sucks and is totally broken. It's why it has so many negative reviews on Google Play. I would have fixed that overnight.

At least I had my laptop, which has a crack in the MB such that if I bump it the wrong way it blue screens. That's what I used to develop all of MNES so far, lol. The 1080p screen on 150% zoom. I almost miss it now. This screen real estate feels absurd to me now, and I haven't even set up my second monitor yet.

I still have to create some test ROMs for graphics output, that's what I'm going to do next, is a simple ROM that scrolls a background horizontally.

Sahuagin posted...

yes, it skips having to assemble it; I get those scenarios. but your motivation for the thread "This is why people buy consoles/prebuilts". the problem that you had here, it being a pre-built would not have changed this situation, right? unless it's very new and would have been under warranty?

except for the warranty you cannot escape the fact that the computer can fail and you can choose to repair it yourself or take it somewhere to be repaired. that's always the case. (except with a console you may actually lose the ability to repair it yourself.)

I guess it wouldn't matter if this computer was prebuilt in my case, because I'm fixing it, but it goes along with the sentiment of "I'm not touching that" mentality that I think can be valid.

Sahuagin posted...

it sounds like you get a warranty with a pre-built, but otherwise it's still just a PC and still requires the same repair that any PC would get. or what would a pre-built have changed? is it a nearly new PC? mine is 12 years old at this point so warranties are long long gone.

In a scenario, if I'm some kind of therapist or doctor and technology is completely alien to me, I couldn't care less about it as long as it shows the Amongus on screen. I wouldn't even dream of opening up the case, or I'd risk messing up the alien technology inside. I'd get a prebuilt and send it off for repairs when it breaks. Inconvenient, but it's not like I have any other choice.

In another scenario, I am a former computer technician, and I've moved on to a different well paying career, I have so much money I don't know what to do with it. I've had a lifetime of fiddling with computers and I'm done with it at that point, I have enough money to just skip putting the thing together altogether and prefer to pay someone else to do it for me.

ConfusedTorchic posted...

can you guess who blocked it

I wouldn't say the government did it that would be against the rules.

Sahuagin posted...

now that I think of it, what does buying a "prebuilt" do that avoids these problems? you avoid putting it together at first but it can still fail and need repair. prebuilt or not, the components can fail, require diagnosing, and replacing.

a big difference is whether it's a modular system (PC) or not (console, though I think they're a tiny bit more modular these days). but prebuilt PCs are still PCs (and still modular). (right?)

Well, if I couldn't fix it right there, I might have just taken it to a repair shop and hope I wouldn't get ripped off, because I didn't have any tools to tell if the CPU was dead or not. That, or I could just take the $100 that would have costed, and bought another CPU just for testing, and I don't even know where that would leave me, because I would be down a ton of money because part of PC repair is the assumption that you have tons of spare parts sitting around, still needing another expensive CPU to actually use. (I generally give away my used PC parts to family/friends)

But there are some people who do subscriptions to companies like ibuypower(?), where they return their computer every year and get an upgraded one for a decently fair price. I don't think I'd go through that hassle tbh though, I genuinely don't care about having bleeding edge hardware.

It's blasphemy to me or you, but if *I* feel like I'm getting in over my head, then your average FIFA playing chum is probably going to say no thank you. The part of my brain dedicated to endlessly messing with electronics, in other people's brains is dedicated to other, possibly more important things.

All that's to say that I don't think consoles/prebuilts are completely useless anymore, like I did at a certain point in time. 2 years ago I would have said a PS5 is just a waste of time.

Actually, my first thought when reading that was overheating or connection issue which...

Turned out to be right. PSU is usually the last thing to die on a computer. I am still using the same PSU from like 16 years ago in mine.

The connection issue wasn't until I had set up the new MB.

I think the old MB is dead, and the PSU is dying. But I won't throw away either.

I've been using a laptop for 6 months now. It's pretty great to not be confined to that tiny laptop screen anymore! And my GPU, I can run games above 480p again, with my 2070!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcreG-bhRRA

Oh my god it actually worked. I figured at this point, even though I had replaced everything, the broken soul of the old machine transferred to the next because I didn't replace everything at once.

Guys... The graphics card power cable wasn't plugged into the PSU...

So my computer starts turning off during an intense video game, especially when I set the graphics to high. Great, that's just the PSU dying. Pretty obvious issue/fix. One day the computer just doesn't turn on.

I buy a new PSU, and nothing. It's still dead. The MB won't even spin up any fans. So I guess the MB must be dead.

I buy a new MB, and the MB boots up, but no output. The "BOOT" and "VGA" psc leds are lit up. I do everything I'm supposed to, remove all drives, swap out RAM, go down to one stick on different slots with different sticks, unplug everything, reset the CMOS, and nothing changes.

Great. I guess the MB is dead on arrival. Or my CPU is dead. My $350, AMD 3700X that I just bought. I have no way of telling.

Yeah this is killing my interest in this site, unfortunately.

You might not think very highly of America but it is very rare that public corporate assassinations are used to intimidate the public here.

That's racist. Also terrorism.

Transphobia

Oh we got a live one

Idk what you're talking about but the range of Conservative thought towards trans people is from "I think they are mentally ill", and "they are child groomers". Jordan definitely falls in the more extreme category since he's attacked trans people on Twitter for posting because kids might see. When confronted with it JP will 100% of the time act like he's not that extreme and he's being misrepresented, because his mind is a complex mandlebrot set that just zooms in for more and more bullshit.

If you actually feel like they are child groomers, don't bother posting it, because you will just get banned immediately.

Thank you to the mod who overturned that.

Jen0125 posted...

They have a no transphobia rule but you can't talk about trans topics.

You're allowed to talk about trans people, but you better not be trans positive.

So fucked up. It's almost like a "no politics" rule doesn't make any sense and is just going to lead to mods showing their bias. Why don't they just remove all off topic boards at this point? That's what they want, right? Fluffy on topic talk about Sonic the Hedgehog?

Jen0125 posted...

Fandom said human rights aren't political in a post here.

Maybe they were in denial about how awful their rules are. I guess now if a mod doesn't like a post or opinion for any reason they can take it down and use "no politics" as an excuse. Being trans is political, that's what gamefaqs says.

This site has become a joke. This is sad.

Everything I've heard of the comics isn't very good, which sucks because I thought that it was one of the most original and intresting premises for a story in years of DC stuff and the games were pretty good for fighting game stories.

It's cool if you like the characters, it has a lot of good moments, and finally kills some of these bastards that have annoying endless plot armor for the sake of the franchise (starts off by killing the king of plot armor).

When your story involves 50+ superheros/villains there's really only so much you can do before you lose cohesion. But no, everyone wants spiderman to meet superman.

Oh, and Wonder Woman is to blame for all of it. She really, really sucks. You could even say she took advantage of Superman and manipulated him into doing all of it in this comic.
