Good Lord! Thank you for the warning! On lowest audible phone volume it blew me away lol

What is that and why does it exist??

So Google shuts you out of their rankings and results to sell this. Fuck you.

Come on people don’t spoil sport this, it was funny!

Remember when Google+ was the future?

Yes.

Like any interest, people get so far removed from the original point, it becomes about something new.

Like cast iron. People go from not really knowing about it to learning how to cook with it, to learning how to do basic maintenance. About 20% of people go completely off the rails, and they start buffing and polishing them like they are fabergé eggs, and joining cast iron groups.

Privacy is the same. Learn the basics, follow the basics, relax and get over yourself.

Prone?

Hell, they are almost designed to break. They are utterly shabby in terms of build quality.

I was one of the early adopters going back to November 2015

I am not lying when I tell you I have been through 17 of these controllers. It’s the right bumper almost every time.

I have a giant handful of the dongles. I was saving them thinking they would go up in value but now like $2 knockoffs are available LOL

Edit: the first one I received, out of the box, had a broken face button membrane. The replacement I received had a non-functioning back right paddle. The replacement for that had a non-functioning R shoulder and you could hear the plastic crunching on each press. That’s just the first three I received and I’m not counting those in the 17 that I destroyed in my own hands.

They were built like absolute shit. After the first run got sold and they shored-up manufacturing problems, they got marginally better but the fundamental underlying issue never was solved.

If it wasn’t such a wonderful controller, I would have stomped the first one into powder and never looked back.

PEBKAC

100%

People love to discuss these fantasy realms where ad-free decentralized content forms some kind of Utopia that we all enjoy.

I’m a former content creator with millions and millions of hours of (e watched hours of) video. I have answered hundreds of comments from people who would like to suggest that my mic is better, or I use a better video camera, better lighting…

When I say hey I’d love to, can you donate a dollar so I can buy them… Crickets.

I can honestly say I never made a fucking sent on YouTube and it’s the users that are to blame. They view it as this free thing that they should be entitled. Contribute nothing willingly.

There is a huge difference between the ethical stance people portray in their online comments, and people’s in real life behavior.

2 that make fans go bananas.

Torchlight 2; Grim Dawn

Right in the middle of the middle part of the middle part of the middle pack.

I was a streamer for an incredibly popular game, I had millions of hours of watch time.

The total amount I made for the thousands of hours I invested is $0.00

My costs were in the thousands, when I consider the extra I paid for high-speed internet, computer upgrades, microphones, blah blah blah

People are a bunch of whining little leeching bitches.

Everyone can shut the fuck up because nobody will support a creator.

Some of the newer communities in my city have that… fiddlehead greens design. None of them are walkable in the slightest, they don’t even have sidewalks! The houses are built so tight you could scratch your neighbor’s ass if the windows were open. And there is absolutely zero street parking. Many of them would require a 10-minute walk to a single bus that comes once every 70 minutes. In some communities there is one bus in the morning and one bus in the evening.

I love hearing these kinds of retellings from industry insiders, I was deep in Tech and high up in the games industry, and I know the kinds of shenanigans that happen at the CEO and board level!

But in my view the mobile game was over already in *2001-2003. That’s when Microsoft had everything wrapped up in their hot little hands, but decided that mobile computing was not the future, and that embedded Windows CE on every device is the way to go.

Everything that happened after 2003 to 2005 basically sealed everything in stone. I think he’s vastly over playing whatever revolution was in his mind.

How would you know where to put it among all the other shitty code?

So you are both a liar and semi-literate.

Most jokes need to be recognizable as funny?

Like if you say the word cucked, ever, I’m going to assume you’re serious and an imbecile and I would be right to do that, no?!

Are 12,000 of them “anime girl fuck fantasy girl love sweet dating woman simulator love sex” game?

Yes it’s very circular.

You know it had nothing to do with the $700, it had to do with not opening precedent to a flood of future lawsuits.

I probably would not have replied the way I initially did, but you framed it a $700, and it has nothing to do with it.

Leisure suit Larry?

The Tentacle from MM?

It comes from that massive disconnect that people are largely unaware of, which is the assumption that people purchase e:invest in businesses to help run them more efficiently and become more profitable.

That really has very little to do with it! It’s a giant shell game. I believe the initial investors came in to disrupt our company, to prime it for fire-sale later. To make us so incredibly uncompetitive that we effectively had to shut the doors. It worked!

A young person died in my youth crisis shelter because instead of getting 911, I was first redirected to a semi-literate moron working in a VOIP “call center”. Her Southern Alabama drawl was so severe I could not even recognize she was speaking English at first. This “call center” was also “experiencing higher than normal call volumes”.

Last week I was driving by a wooden apartment complex and I noticed that somebody’s unattended barbecue had gone poof and the balcony was burning. I called 911 and it took 4 minutes to get directed to the fire department.
