WhyIDie,

WhyIDie,

the engine gave the means, mick’s music gave the reason

WhyIDie,

sorry, best I can give you is sleeping 3 hours in 8

WhyIDie,

ITT: a textual analogy to the pic

WhyIDie,

I have decided this isn’t gatekeepy enough

WhyIDie,

mortal kombat 2 on pc was a game changer tho.

but I’ll bring up one that’s a step further, startropics on NES: dip a manual page in water to reveal the code, or you don’t get to progress, mid-way through the game

WhyIDie,

yes

Unity’s current CEO is an ex-exec from EA. but at least it looks like in 2021 they got around to replacing the CFO from 2015, who was previously also an EA ex-exec that was hired as such the year after the CEO was brought on board from EA. The hirings coincided with many rapid, scummy changes to their subscriptions and dev support. I expect many lies yesterday, today, tomorrow, and beyond as they now focus on squeezing their non-subbed devs

WhyIDie,

it’s pretty obnoxious, actually. I hate how shredding only increases the pitch - melting is the way to go

WhyIDie,

“oh, is dad building an extra closet for random things?” “nope, that’s the new solitary confinement cell”

WhyIDie,

Had to look it up, apparently 1 watt is equal to the power of 0.0013410221 horses. From there, you can calculate how many horses the outlet in a given country is worth.

Them hiring that EA exec as the chief financial officer, and another as their CEO, around the same time they stopped offering lifetime subscriptions near the end of Unity 4, while at the same time reworking their sub plans to pull back support for devs with recently-expired subs, should’ve been a massive red flag at the slippery slope they were aiming to go down

WhyIDie,

depending on the fan, this would blow the wifi too fast past the devices. to counteract this, you have to cover your devices in magnets to catch them

WhyIDie,

where we droppin’, boys?

WhyIDie,

you’re in desperate need of a comma.

WhyIDie,

That’s actually a pretty elegant solution. A teacher being against something that motivates the kids is a losing battle to begin with. Extending that olive branch stops that bridge from being burned, and there’s been all those studies that show prudent use of breaks increase productivity, including outside of that environment

WhyIDie,

being the chairman of the FCC in the US between 2017 and 2021

WhyIDie,

fuck ajit pai

I’d listen to what the box tells me, it seems to have its shit together.

WhyIDie,

I’ll never give up start, but the select button hasn’t been used as an actual selector button in decades

WhyIDie,

me, who doesn’t care who’s to blame, wishing the issue was fixed by anyone

WhyIDie,

the chip shortage probably resulted in that box being half filled too

WhyIDie, (edited )

They behave just like the stack-overflow “elitist”

stereotype 100% established, and it’d be completely understandable for you to want to distance yourself from them asap. It’s already hard enough for any larger body of work to reach any semblance of completion, even without external factors like that acting as motivational vampires eating up your brainspace

WhyIDie,

c/adhdmemes

WhyIDie,

like a malicious Tommy Wiseau

WhyIDie,

that’s understandable, the tone deafness in the pic could fly over peoples’ heads

WhyIDie, (edited )

sometimes there’s also the dev team prioritizing some reported things over others, within the same class of bugs, that might not result in a better end user experience (either from lack of foresight, or external pressures from sources like the publisher), but they definitely know most of the complaints before they became complaints after release.

WhyIDie,

the cold version of spicy

apparently some bumbling buzzy body beelined to beeing unbeelievably grumpbee over the buzz beehind this thread.

I could drone on about their crabbeeness with honeyed words, beecause it’s beezarre they don’t beehive themselves, but beevity is the soul of wit.

imagine playing a slot machine, knowing, on the next use, you have less than a 1% chance of winning big, but 5% chance of dying an excruciating death. or hell, imagine knowing beforehand you had a 5% chance of dying if you leave the front door of your house on a specific day - 5% is insanely high for the risk. or your family is in a group of 100 different families, and 5 are chosen at random to experience the most brutally agonizing period of their life that leaves a lifelong emotional scar from losing someone they loved.

I’m agreeing with you, but I feel equating the end result to a tabletop game just doesn’t communicate the appropriate gravity of the situation to others that may be reading through our inconsequential leavings in this digital void.

WhyIDie,

we need to go further - give me gendered punctuation

WhyIDie,

my ancestors watching me open my contacts list because I can’t remember a single phone number (they’re really invasive ancestors)

WhyIDie,

paid thinkers when pay2think is invented

WhyIDie,

to add to this, ironic jokes where the irony is inside the context of what’s being parroted will mostly get people to jump in with the joke. One where it’s outside of it will get people tired of seeing others pretend to be dumb on purpose, and people that believe they legitimately are, to dogpile on it.

and communicating that irony on edgecases between the two is like balancing on a tightrope

WhyIDie,

and worse on top of that, they’re intensely motivated and well-equipped to hunt people

WhyIDie,

just get some good drugs thought encryption

WhyIDie,

and when they do, another will step up to take its place. such is the cycle of enshittification

WhyIDie,

spite is a great motivator

this is the type of comment I was looking for ITT. most of the others are just shy people that don’t realize most people would love to have conversations about niche hobbies someone can communicate any passion about.

if you bring this one up, the inevitable followup is either they awkwardly disengage from the topic, or they awkwardly ask to see what you’ve made

WhyIDie,

I’m now equal parts envious, fearful, and in awe at women’s capability to weaponize much more destructive dutch ovens than men.

WhyIDie,

Dog being pet; “Wow, what an edgy boy you are!”

WhyIDie,

ITT: what I expected vs what I got

Men Discussing Things meme template; outdoor mob brawl vs orderly discussion

the idea of a smuggler physically hauling contraband copies of Firefox into France just tickles me

WhyIDie,

I would definitely pronounce it NÆSA and see how long I can go before someone brings it up

Not just the last few years, that’s just how the system is set up in general; companies are rewarded for reaching over a wider population, not for the quality of the established coverage. They need to keep growing or die.

It’s more financially incentivized to put time to get at least a handful of new customers onboard than it is to address the grievances of a single customer, so the quality of marketing gets boosted while customer support gets shafted. Any public negative feedback can be drowned out by the larger pool of customers that aren’t involved in any direct interactions with the company, and there’s also the classic astroturfing + plausible deniability combo for good measure to maintain that public trust.

remapping is super useful, but the problem I have are when prompts on the screen relate the button letter, color, and orientation all together like how they’d be on the controller it expects.

used to use my switch controller on pc, but games like Guardians of the Galaxy messed my brain up when it asks for, within a given timeframe, the overwhelmingly green, enormously-typefaced ‘A’ button that’s on the bottom of the 4 face buttons; I’m used to switching mindsets between controllers, not mixing them together, so ended up switching over to an xbox-style controller for pc

and I didn’t downvote, but thought to chime in maybe from a perspective of someone else that throws them around more nonchalantly; it’s either a thought like that, or they personally had bad experiences with the pro 2
