Exactly. I know plenty of people who have driven a car for over 3 decades, and do not know what a timing belt or a spark plug does. I don’t look down on those people, but it certainly makes sense as to why they don’t know. They don’t really need to!

This is a bold statement considering how many daily Windows users don’t understand how to use Windows.

It’s like publishers want people to pirate games. We know that’s surely not true, but their practices seem to make it the only option to appreciate the entirety of the game, and eventually the game itself.

The co-op sucks, but I’m pretty certain invasions don’t occur unless you summon somebody.

If you’re adamant about playing co-op without invasions, you have to mod the game, unfortunately.

I find that DMs become quite patient with helping players make character sheets when provided a can of coke and some donuts/chips.

I think tank in most MMOs is a low-desire role. It typically hinges entirely on having a healer to keep you tanking, as well as holding an immense responsibility to be aware of aggro patterns and incoming debuffs. You eat a lot of blame for not tanking well, even if it’s just because your healers mispositioned or some DPS decided to steal aggro by spamming too much of X move.

And generally, you don’t feel as much of the “I did a thing!” feeling as, say, a rogue pumping out damage or a mage casting a slew of debuffs and DoTs.

I love it when Apple pushes advertising that touts their focus on privacy… when in reality, they’re breaching user privacy in all the ways that every other company does.

Not at all! I had fun typing out the comment while considering the implications of your comment! :P

Thanks for the good time.

Ah yes, you know so many people that it somehow becomes equivalent to a healthy sample size of the entire human population. Got it.

Soundiiz. I used it to transfer my playlists one by one, for free.

FiiO BTR5 + LDAC + IEMs have been working super well for me. I don’t really use wireless with Windows, but I’m considering payiny for A2DP regardless, as it worked very well and may come in handy eventually.

I don’t really like Tidal, but this is why I have stuck with Tidal instead of switching back to Spotify. At least the artists get more money, and I get my higher bitrate. Now it seems that prices are getting even closer to parity, so that’s less of a reason to switch back.

I considered trying Qobuz or Deezer, but I’m too lazy to switch right now.

Just to let you know, Tidal is not that great either.

Frequently having issues with downloaded albums, where I go into offline mode, pull up an album, and it says “can’t connect” despite being in offline mode and the album taking up storage space on my phone.

Also, the discovery and new releases sections aren’t very well made.

Autism enables the source code HUD, but it only shows each chunk after you figure out the assembly.

Lots of people in the comments self-reporting their habits in games with voice chat… yikes…

Having witnessed teenage boys moaning into a microphone for an entire 25-minute match because my friend (a woman) spoke twice, I would say that it has nothing to do with growing thick skin.

My friend has thick skin. They heard it, muted everyone, calmly asked me to be the middleman for important callouts, and we played out the match. That is just normal there, unfortunately.

I thought vrbo was more of a timeshare thing but I was probably wrong.

I’m not that young, but sometimes I see people here refer to their childhoods, and then I feel like a baby.

Why are you commenting fiction to raise false hope? ;-;

Yeah, seriously. Did the person you were replying to think the energy that’s powering datacenters was all clean?
