  1. @mrmattimation I wish I knew what you were talking about. But hey, if I did I would probably argue that I want to keep that technology as far away from them as possible. Mostly due, because, and for comedic effect.

    After all Epst... [rude cutoff]

    ... If I did not knew any better I would say that this is what it must feel like to being gaslighted.

  3. According to Shannon Liao of CNN's business division all gaming controlers have been traditionally really manly with their blackness and camo's and even some looking like Darth Vader's mask.

    BUT ! Google Stadia is going to use more woman friendly coloured controllers and that is how they are going to claim the 46% of gamers that are not men. At least according to this article.

    When I read that, I put down my phone, looked at my closet, and counted the amount of custom painted controlers I own. Yeah I somehow do not think colour is going to be a problem. But hey, gotta grasp that woman market somehow, right ?

    Not even to mention that I figure most of those people they are 'targeting' are only going to use their phone if they even use Stadia. And that no gamer I know ( male or female ) is even halfway interested in Stadia to begin with.

    Yes please, Wasabi Green !

    Go read http://rainbowdash.net/url/875330 . Disconnected from reality I gues

  4. Me a couple of days ago : What if that COPPA thing that has suddenly all of Old YouTube up in a twist was actually written by someone with big timey Hollywood friends ?

    Me a couple of seconds ago : Oh hey, what do you know, I wonder if I can put Soothsayer on my Curriculum Vitae or something. I still need something to cancel out the 'Professional Alcoholic'

  5. @adiwan Huh, weird. My PS3 does NOT look like what the model number says it should look like, As such I have no idea if it has full hardware, partial software, full software, or none when it comes to PS2 game support. I'll look into that later. Somewhere and when after I fixed my PC speakers and cleaned my room.

  6. @scribus The Sega consoles are a minefield with that. IIRC the Genesis was called the Mega Drive outside of North America because it was being carried by a different company abroad. I believe it is called the Tec Toy in Brazil. In Korea by Samsung and it was called the Super Gameaboyo or something like that.

    Then later with things like the Mega CD addon ( Sega CD in NA ) it got really confusing as some units were assembled in different area's than their intended audience that shipped together with controllers. Now for SOME reason the regional controlers were all different on the inside ( and I still have no idea why ) but I do know there is a real possibility that one of your controler has Samsung somewhere written on the circuit board, and the other reading Virgin Mastertronic or something. There is no doubt a bigger nerd than I am out there who knows that all by head.

  7. @adiwan Oh man, this just makes me remember OtherOS on the PS3 and that whole Class Action Lawsuit kerfuffle.

    Not to mention the PS2 backwards compatibility that I believe only the first PS3 release had through hardware support, and then some later through software support. untill it disapeared somewhere. It was a mess.

  8. @adiwan I agree, but, load-bearing, what a weird word. I mean, the device does not bear the load, it suffers the load

    Also I heard that Nintendo made the Switch Lite because it wanted to curbstomp blatant piracy and just throw the upgraded analog stick design in a obvious 'new' Switch.

    Then again, forced 'new' makes me shiver. For instance, just how many games came out exclusively for the New 3DS XL ?

  9. Like 3 weeks ago the locking mechanism for my left joycon became so 'loose' that I am hesitant to use the switch just holding it with my left hand. So I ordered those metal replacement locking mechanisms after one of my friends made me aware of them

    Turns out My Mate VINCE needed them too about 2 years ago http://rainbowdash.net/url/875328 ( Near perfect amount of looseness between Vince's joycon and mine too )

    So I ordered some though Amazon ( only place I could find them really )

    So talking about the Switch as I did, I just checked on the delivery details of my order. Turns out I could see in real-time how they went from "being delivered in 1 mintue" to "Oh hey it is late, it was expected Thursday"

    As for the original plastic locking mechanism, I am not even sure if that is thanks to my roughness, thanks to where I work, or thanks to Nintendo. I think I heard some good things about the design being plastic from fanboys, but then explain the Switch Lite to me ?

  10. @tiff Easy. My recommendations : Untitled Goose Game, LoZ Link's Awakening, Stardew Valley, Dead Cells, Hollow Knight, Rogue Legacy, Shovel Knight, Civilization 6, Undertale, Cuphead, The Megaman collections ( all 4 )

    Couch multiplayer recommendations : Go Vacation, Nidhogg 2, Broforce, , Bomberman, Worms W.M.D, Overcooked 2 ( in order of difficulty ) Oh and the usual mario mario mario stuff.

    I kinda still want Kitty 3D mario on the Switch. No idea what its official name was.

  11. @mrmattimation Almost like 10 more years of development into the RAGE engine has some sort of payoff ?

  12. @drinkingpony I forgot the sub-plot that everyone is a gamer because of phone game they play while on the toilet. ( a disgusting habit that should die ).

    And everyone is a social media connoisseur because everyone is browsing Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, or 4Chan ( Yes, They know ! ) while in boring boardroom meetings.

    It is a REALLY cringe commercial they put on busstops somewhere last summer.

  13. @adiwan Eh, I would not worry about that. In fact, that is the sort of logic my phone service provider is using to convince that EVERYONE is a gamer and a social media connoisseur so we should upgrade our service to the endless-gamer level or Master-Giffer-Media-Expert ( No, really, it also spells MGME, which sounds like a drug, next to the other thing, topkek, we can do memes peeple ! Sigh )

    But yeah, do not worry about it. Just because you like Ranma ½ does not mean you will like the other more mainstay Manga's. Like One Piece or Gundam or NGE.

    Me ? Well, I like Mech's, so I read and saw some Gundam :)

    Reminds me of a theme song actually. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875326

  14. @adiwan I don't get it, you are a fool for liking something you bought for cheap ?

    Tuesday, 19-Nov-19 21:44:30 UTC from web in context
  15. One of the people over here is being unusually... well... this http://rainbowdash.net/url/875325 to me

    Only instead of "Better than you" it is "I can buy it cheaper than you"

    All because a parcel containing a couple games was delivered within his earshot.

    Good thing my imagination had no problem picturing him as Trixie.

  16. @mrmattimation Hey at least your co-workers at least got annoyed by that alarm I reckon.

    Mine called me up on a Sunday afternoon because they could not find the thermostat. Then even with my directions they could not find the damned device. So I went there just to show them where the thermostat was. They all thought it was an alarm so they did not wanted to touch it, and then I got into trouble for showing up at work smelling and looking like a drunk hobo.

    It's Sunday woman ! Get off of my back, I am not even supposed to be here !

    But at least those will be the fun stories to tell around the campfire.

  17. @adiwan made me think of https://youtu.be/Bh7bYNAHXxw?t=24

    Also I am afraid that you can not even find a 3000 mW laser engraver marchine without spending at least the better part of a 100

  18. @adiwan Wait, isn't it about the 1 year anniversary of the Tumblr Porn Ban ? ( man time goes REALLY slow doesn't it ? ) ... Howcome it is even on there ?

  19. @adiwan I too share such visceral aversion to that thing. But I hope you had to at least check a followers timeline to 'find' it. And it is not being shared on your 'wall'

    ... Also I really dislike the terms for those things so I probably screwed them up. Sorry if I did, but I think I did.

  20. The chocolate milk was on sale at my local supermarket, they had letters on them because of christmas. A lot of D's, S's and A's. I could not help myself, so now they are all arranged "SAD SAD SAD SAD"

  21. @scribus Might as well slip her name while you are at it. I mean, What is the chance that if she is as easily triggered as you assume she is going to be that she has not been called Karen by someone at least once in her life.

  22. @mrmattimation Hey another Lou Costello fan :)

  23. @scribus No, I just stared at the person like a zoo exhibit untill she calmed down and then I asked if she knew how big a trebuchet needed to be if I wanted to sling some 120 odd kilograms into orbit.

    I fully expected that to go over her head, and I was not dissapointed.

    Now that is actually a lie, but I am sticking to it.

  24. Having one of the people at work scream at you at the top of their lungs that "The Mandalorian should have been a woman !!!" before I even had time to sit down, get myself a drink, and press the on button of my terminal.

    I am very glad that the rest of the day went a lot smoother.

  25. This is deserving of way more attention than it is getting https://youtu.be/PoUT910iTHE

    It's an 8 minute long animation that has gotten a bunch of awards and junk. But I mostly want to see something like this being made into a full season.

  26. @tiff I am sorry to say that, no, it affects both the digital and the physical game releases ( physical being the Nintendo Switch Cartridges ). Most 'crashes' have seemingly occurred while the game attempted to quicksave, and it is currently under fan/hacker-dom invesigation what is going on. Currently it seems to point straight towards a well known issue with Ninendo Switch's Operating System in combination with using ExFat instead of Fat32 on your SDcard. ( which has been known for at least 15 months if you follow a certain GitHub trail )

    I expect that Nintendo was hesistant to 'fix' this since it was more likely that hackers and homebrewers were near infinitely more likely to run into Fat32's [4 GB minus 2 bytes ] maximum individual file limit. Not to mention straight up pirates.

    Regardless, it is a problem.

  27. @tiff Because you are afraid you will be greeted with the system-destroying bug as shown in https://youtu.be/Z3gYUVWGEqM ?

  28. @thismightbeauser I did not even get it. I mean, if Sex A plus Sex B makes either Sex A or Sex B, then where did Sex C ever some from.

    But if I add some Titania McGarth magic it is suddenly funny.

    Poe's law is a apple.
