| Topic | When googling help for games nowadays, why is first result usually a video? |
| kind9 12/30/18 3:03:06 PM #26 | LinkPizza posted... Some of the videos are bad, yes. But, most of the time, someone has made a more direct video. Also, I think CTRL+F is awesome, but it definitely depends on what youre looking for. It could be something somewhat common or something that appears multiple times. It could also be something that you wouldnt know how to search for. Like having to find a specific item, but you dont know what its called. I think having both option available is the best way to go about it. Or all, technically. Having regular faqs, the boards, Reddit, YouTube videos, wikis, etc. make it easier to have multiple ways to find out what you want to know. If all I can find is a video then of course I'm still grateful. Sometimes they even write the instructions out in the description so I don't have to watch the video. I just think it's always easier/quicker to skim through a document than to skim through a video. FAQs, forums and wikis are really all you need. I would say videos are more suitable for entertainment or long training courses. For me, anyway. --- |
| Topic | When googling help for games nowadays, why is first result usually a video? |
| kind9 12/30/18 1:44:51 PM #21 | LinkPizza posted... DrYuya posted...kind9 posted...Because it's more convenient to watch a 20 minute video for something you could learn in 20 seconds of reading. Who the hell wants to read? True enough. Of course with a giant text document you could just as easily use a ToC if there is one, or CTRL+F. But honestly my sarcastic comment mainly comes from my frustration trying to find tutorials for certain software. Often times I want to learn how to do something very specific which I know could be summed up in a few lines of text, but instead everyone wants to make videos just because they can I guess. I find that videos don't make good reference material either because you have to watch at the pace of the video. --- |

| Topic | Why is Windows 35 GB on my desktop but only 6 GB on my laptop |
| kind9 12/30/18 1:34:34 PM #4 | Interesting. Mine is at 18.1GB. I'm sure drivers go into the Windows folder. I know Win10 also has a ton of bloat in the form of shitty apps that Microsoft desperately wants you to want. Not sure if those sit somewhere in the Windows folder. I believe I uninstalled all or most of them anyway. You could try a program like WinDirStat to find out what is taking up the most space. --- |

| kind9 12/23/18 11:03:03 AM #73 | DrCidd posted... Muscles posted...Lol, are you really gonna try to claim this when addiction most certainly runs in families? Because you are definitely at higher risk for alcoholism if your father/mother/grandparents were alcoholics But you previously said you can't develop addiction as a result of genetics. A hard statement. Now you're saying you may be at higher risk because of genetics. So which is it? --- |
| Topic | What's your favourite Christmas song? |
| kind9 12/23/18 10:42:27 AM #18 | The Christmas Song, aka Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire. Or maybe, 'Till the Season Comes 'Round Again, because one of the local news plays a commercial every year with that song and it kind of makes me want to cherish the season while it lasts, although I never do. --- |
| Topic | Is addiction a disease? |
| kind9 12/23/18 10:38:25 AM #70 | Kyuubi4269 posted... kind9 posted...The top results I found on google regarding research into addiction as a disease say that it actually changes the composition of the brain so that free-will and choice are highly impaired. Do you disagree with the research? I believe free-will there means the conscious ability to simply stop using. The addiction sort of takes that over, according to the research I found. I just want to know if you accept that, and if not, why? I wasn't citing a scientific paper, but one of the articles I found on google searching "addiction as a disease". --- |

| kind9 12/23/18 10:20:59 AM #64 | Kyuubi4269 posted... To be fair, these are the same people that changed a mental illness in to a physical one to appease public opinion Really? I would have thought that at the time it was classified as a disease public opinion would have largely considered addiction to be a weak and immoral choice.

| kind9 12/23/18 9:38:29 AM #61 | Are there a lot of troll accounts voting No, or are there really that many insane people on this board? It's either Yes or the 3rd option. Addiction is already classified as a disease by leading medical associations, so unless you're in the field of medicine maybe you should accept that or stfu. --- |

Cult Leader - A Patient Man The Body - I Have Fought Against It, But I Can't Any Longer KEN Mode - Loved Hooded Menace - Ossuarium Silhouettes Unhallowed Inertia - Teratoma Eagle Twin - The Thundering Heard Lesser Glow - Ruined Palesloth - The Burden of Existence --- |

| kind9 12/20/18 5:28:41 AM #16 | Yellow posted... kind9 posted...Perhaps if he took the time to manually configure a firewall he could be better protected. I don't know but I assume it goes through his home internet via his router, which could be configured to allow only a set range of IPs through to the camera. I think that would be enough to deter most people. But then I guess the device he uses to remotely access the camera could also be hacked... And @DPsx7 is probably right that software vulnerabilities could also potentially be exploited to gain access. Somehow I doubt that was the case here though. --- |

So many people toss this tech into their lives never thinking about how it can be misused. People are so technologically ignorant. They buy things connected to the internet and expect the software to automagically do everything for them. Perhaps if he took the time to manually configure a firewall he could be better protected. --- |

| Topic | What's the last video game that made you think? |
| kind9 12/16/18 10:37:30 AM #9 | ParanoidObsessive posted... Stardew Valley, mainly in the sense that I'm occasionally planning out multiple days ahead in planting and development strategy, to the point where I can get up to go to the bathroom and still be thinking about it even while not actually playing. Pretty much me when playing Don't Starve lately. That game has a way of always making me feel like time is wasting, so I take breaks to think about what I should do next. --- |

| kind9 12/15/18 3:34:18 AM #11 | rogerskg1979 posted... In addition to seasons being too long with filler episodes, shows like TWD have just gone on too long period. It's on what, nine seasons now? Shows tend to run out of ideas and start to decline in quality after four or five seasons. TWD has been pretty bad for years now because it has been going on too long. I lost interest in it long ago. --- |
