I’ve been using the Casio W800 series (W800-H currently) for the past 12+ years. This is my 3rd watch, only because I simply lost the first two. However, it’s about the 6th strap, so it’s like the AK’s strap.

I’m a non native speaker and I honestly thought poop was almost like baby speak for excrement. Hell, it even sounds cute. See also: boop. Have I been wrong all along, or is it just your own perspective?

The aspect ratio! With some hard work and intensive empathy training I got over the vertical format being default, but when someone uploads a horizontal video to a vertical format site, and then you’re trying to bring it to full screen on your also horizontal monitor… I could headbutt the monitor in.

I counted pixels once. It took up less than 10% of the display area. Just a fucking thick black (EDIT: or non-video regardless) “border” on 90+% of the monitor. And why? Because of one dipshit deciding they will consider horizontal screens nonexistent (while it’s closer to natural, human vision). I can’t even blame the uploader, sometimes they don’t even know this use case isn’t even handled.

I’m sure this is two separate stories but please tell it like it was one. Extra style points for the two biting each other.

AFAIK it was done by Blizzard North, the same team that actually worked on D2 back then (when Blizzard was more like Blizzard). At least partly. Correct me if I’m wrong (I might easily be) but it is at least not a 100% match with regular Blizzard.

I had the same thought initially, and unfortunately it wasn’t just GTA. However, IMHO Diablo II Resurrected was an amazing exception, and I’m sure there are others. Plus, the OP’s question was probably about an ideal case and they wanted to know what people have been missing from the past.

Realistically, I wouldn’t expect a decent comeback of Guitar Hero 3 for example, but it sucks that it doesn’t really work on Win10/11 anymore, and while Clone Hero exists, it doesn’t have the same “story” mode as GH3 had, with characters, milestones and such. Hell, you can’t even get “booed out”.

Too bad that as you mentioned, even if there was demand, a random big company would just buy the rights, do some lazy upscale and sell it like it was gourmet shit.

Honestly, if it was me reading about the pixie dust, I would just find it hilarious and probably not mention it, since I got the joke.

I can’t remember the last one, so I’ll tell the one before.

I think I had activated some really primal stuff. You know how so many animals cuddle in a bunch, often in entire groups, to keep warm and sleep together? Yeah, I was basically just lying down, with members from my family, on top of my father’s rhythmically raising-falling belly, right on the edge of falling asleep (within my dream).

It was heaven. The most peaceful I have felt in a looong time. Despite us humans being boney animals (by default), it just felt so soft and comfy. I think it must have been some leftover from ancient hominid (?) life.

And then there are the (multiplayer) gamers. It’s great that I can play SO many more offline/single player games than I used to on Linux, but I can’t help if the ones I like to play are all unsupported (and probably will be for a looong time).

I would have switched to Linux about 20 years ago if it was possible, but unfortunately, developing exploit free, stable anti cheats for competitive multiplayers on multiple OS’s is a nightmare, and I get why most developers resort to picking the currently most widely used one. It’s just a shame because otherwise I prefer Linux over Windows in many aspects.

Yeah, they can rip my avocados out from my cold dead hands.

Oh. I was still trying to fit those words to the rhythm of this.

At one point the same activity started ruining /r/animalsbeinggeniuses. Either utterly dumb users, or, more likely, botted accounts started spamming the sub with random animal photos/videos. Then, when I dared to point out that a sitting cat/dog isn’t just genius for simply being cute or by being able to jump far, I often got downvoted because bUt It’S sO cUtE, hOw CaN yOu HaTe CuTe AnImAlS.

I stopped following Reddit content more than a year ago, but I’m not too surprised to see that the same is happening everywhere else.

The Tesla truck, driven by an employee, was headed to the company’s battery factory in Sparks, Nevada, […]

WHERE else?

• Mom! Look! This frog says my name every time I press down on its belly!
• Leave the poor animal alone, Björk!

This is how I abbreviate avocado smash & eggs. Mostly with two g’s, but still.

Dylan.

Does it mean Donald Trump wearing diapers can’t enter the metro?

Yes! I guess you could be successful with Arabic, too; I know it has its own dialects and accents, but still. Outside of Hungary, the only places you can use it is the border areas in neighbouring countries.

BUT if you talk to a decent Hungarian in their own language they will self immolate from the awe (I would).

It’s an old trick but if it’s the last moment you learn about a fine first, then chances are someone isn’t playing fair, regardless.
