It has neither the positive reputation you assume nor do Quebecois say “le stationnement”.

Used to be a lottery game dev, now I’m in addiction.

This suggestion would do nothing since compulsive behavior is not a choice and it is not rational.

E me no can spel

Yeah it’s a 45-minute unbreakable opening tutorial sequence that is totally unskippable and totally unnecessary.

Oh Lord I hated everything about that game, but I don’t want to go off LOL

It’s just an incredibly soulless game, towns are filled with cardboard cutout npcs, there’s generic guard, wandering peasant, blah blah blah

Fighting, even on Blood level, is trivial

“Searching” around with witcher senses is an absolutely pathetic mechanic

Cool, haven’t seen this re-posted in over 18 hours, was starting to get worried I’d never see this hilarity again. Whew!

Ok cool never know about that. At $200 it would be an automatic yes for me!

Many years ago I learned to improve my electronics “hygiene” by being strict about how power is connected/transferred from household AC to my gadgets. One too many blown PSUs during thunderstorm season while on a deadline, I guess.

Don’t use power strips, use high-end surge protectors. Cheap ones can still get absolutely rocked and can’t be trusted. Always use high-end OEM charge blocks for phones and for laptop chargers, etc.

No good call to spend thousands on electronics then cheap out at the power-transfer part of the deal. Because that’s where most damage is done. Pay for the good stuff now and it will more than pay for itself in the long term. Fewer blown PSUs/inverters/transformers. Longer lasting batteries.

I feel like electricity is less like magic fairies floating down wires and more like ropes tugging and rams crashing. I always liked to think about it that way.

And I’m going to complain that since society is appallingly obese, now I, with an athletic body, can’t find convenient clothes. Box stores like Costco don’t even stock sizes under 38 in my region. That’s fatso size and I need 32’s. I’m 6 foot 2.

E: downvoting me doesnt make you not obese, nor does it undermine my statement.

I use a calendar. I know this sounds ridiculous to mention it, but I am continually astonished at how few people use it to remember tasks and events.

This is not as insightful as ya think.

I’m saying this based on personal experience, having gone through a really bad hygiene phase when I was extremely depressed.

It took me a long time to figure out why the stink was not coming out of my clothes despite repeated washings, vinegar/borax/alcohol/etc treatments, everything I could think of.

I ended up using cheap pet odor enzyme spray. Have since learned there are other more expensive enzymes, but I’m happy with the pet spray cuz it works.

I just have to jump in here.

The lingering B.O. in clothes is dead bacteria which still stink - you need enzymes to actually accomplish anything.

Vodka and vinegar are useless except for certain applications and for “fresh” sweat.

To cure hiccups:

Hyperventilate for about 30 seconds; breathe out until your lungs feel like they’re going to implode; Without intaking breath, smoothly chug a 12oz glass of water.

It will “reset” your spasming diaphragm and stop the hiccups.

That is a hell of an astute observation

My buddy called-in Sportchek when they were advertising skis for like $900 but “marked down” to 200! They had to stop that practice as a result of his report.

Welcome to the block list, child

Disengage.

The amount of doomer shit you intake is directly proportional to time spent online listening to the opinions of imbeciles.

So basically walk away.
