By that logic, OJ totally didn’t kill anyone.

If you’ve played, well, pretty much any RPG, there’s no point playing Zelda or Pokemon.

Oh, there’s a point, and it’s a pretty big one that people tend to forget:

Games like Zelda and Pokemon are fun. They might not have the best graphics, but they’re fun. They may not have the best story, but they are fun. The hardware may not be powerful, the gameplay might be repetitive, the scenery might be bland, the NPC’s might not be engaging, it may not be particularly challenging, it may have questionable design choices; but the games are fun to play.

I feel that as gamers get older they forget that, at its core, games are supposed to be fun. They look at Nintendo and then at other big companies and go “what the hell? Nintendo looks like CRAP! Every other AAA company has WAY more impressive games!” without realizing that Nintendo isn’t really trying to make impressive games. They make fun games that are fun to play. Games anyone can start having fun with less than a minute after picking up the controller.

For a while, it was the cheapest Blu-ray player you could get

I think I saw the video of it, they did it by holding a blow torch to it.

But many videos like that are misleading because the person filming it doesn’t know how blow torches work. They always hold the torch RIGHT up against the thing they’re trying to burn, but you barely get any heat when you use it like that. You have to hold it a few inches back, right at the tip of the inner jet. That’s where the hottest point is.

12 months, but yea

Oh, so you managed to destroy the tracks last election? No? Hmm, sounds like you did nothing then and the trolley continued down the path its currently on. A path that numerous people tried to tell you was worse than the other path. But it’s ok! You chose to dismantle the system and operate outside of it!

Except you didn’t do that. You had no ability to do that. Your actions are the exact same as someone who chose not to pull the lever, and the outcome is the exact same as if you chose not to pull the lever. To anyone observing, you are just as worthless as someone who didn’t pull the lever. Because at the end of the day, there WAS a lever and you DIDN’T pull it.

Sure, whatever helps you sleep at night. I can’t help it if you completely fail to understand Baby’s First Moral Philosophy Question.

We get it. You chose not to pull the lever.

You can try to ease your conscience by saying that at some vague point in the future you can destroy the trolley entirely, but that is the future. The trolley problem already occurred. It already went past the switch, there’s no going back and changing that. You chose not to pull it, you have to live with that.

The failure in understanding here is that “refusing to play along” is STILL playing along. You are making a choice that you’re ok with whatever the uneducated masses decide. This is like basic trolly problem shit. You are given two terrible choices, there is no option for a magical third choice. You can’t get out of it by saying you just refuse to participate, because that’s just choosing not to pull the lever.

Bluetooth detection active

Yea, I’d love to get a fine for listening to music while I shit.

I’m not in IT, just a lowly office grunt who is forced to use Windows on their laptop. I know most people here have forgotten that 99% of the working world has to use Windows, so let me remind you how much it sucks.

It doesn’t matter how you change the laptop power settings, Windows will look at your settings and then just do whatever the fuck it wants when the lid closes.

Sometimes it goes to sleep

Sometimes it stays powered on and quietly overheats in your laptop bag.

Sometimes it completely freezes up and forces you to hold down the power button.

Sometimes it just logs you out and does nothing else.

Sometimes it will go to sleep, but the moment you open it back up it decides what you REALLY wanted was to restart.

Changing the settings has no effect on what Windows decides to do.

I know people on this site like to sit on their gilded Linux throne and sneer at all the lowly peons forced to use “Microslop” instead of their clearly superior, self-hosted, FOSS, Linux distro; but it is a real problem with Windows laptops.

Yep, this technology will be like the internet. Just because the dotcom bubble popped doesn’t mean the technology went away or didn’t continue to progress and evolve.

Brave doesn’t have a crypto miner.

I will accuse Gabe of being a piece of shit once he does something that makes him a piece of shit. He has yet to do so. I don’t see what’s so hard to understand about this.

Unfortunately there’s not one source, I used multiple guides and videos, and started over multiple times. This video was maybe the most helpful, but he doesn’t cover everything. You have to do some hunting on where to find the product keys for each system that needs them, and some systems require some extra steps to get working.

The only system I can’t seem to get running at all is Sega Saturn for some reason. The PS2 emulator needed some extra fiddling with the graphical settings on some games. The WiiU needed a lot of extra steps to get working, both in the set up and in the settings. And for the switch, I managed to get the Eden emulator working, but don’t ask how I did that. I tried a couple times with no success until one time it magically showed up as an option. I also havent tried emulating any XBox games because most of them are available on other systems, but I might try getting the 360 working soon.

I think the biggest thing that tripped me up is that the bios/keys files don’t typically go in their respective folders (with some exceptions like the WiiU), instead they all just get dumped directly in the Emulation\bios folder together. A lot of guides I found were giving the wrong directions for that.

Just keep at it; if I can figure it out, I am certain you can too!

Essentially nothing. People on here tend to be alarmist when it comes to it, but when you actually dig into the negative claims, they are all either vastly overblown or misconstrued.

Who’s in the wrong here?

Everyone in this thread who is too stupid to realize this is fake rage bait.

I feel like the problem with 8 was how ham-fisted it was. Like, I get wanting to break the norms, go a different direction, and not rely on nostalgia to direct your story. But maybe taking what everyone loved from the first movies, going “actually all this stuff you loved is SHIT and you were stupid for ever liking it” and then literally burning it all in front of everyone was the wrong way to go about that.

It felt like the writer held some deep seeded hatred for Star Wars and its fans, and went out of their way to make that known.

I mean, personally I started rolling my eyes when I saw the comment section almost immediately turned into .ml users simping HARD for China and North Korea, despite literally no one bringing them up.

It raises it exclusively for the Costume Institute at the Met, which the group that preserves historical clothing. I just… Fuck. Are you really serious? How the hell do you look at that amount of money, look at the people starving on the streets, and conclude that this is a worthwhile function. Thats just fucking insane.

Sorry, we can’t afford to build new housing or addiction centers, but thank God we can continue to preserve an evening dress from the 1940’s. That’s truly what matters in society.
