best part about VR, by far, is yelling “NYPD!!!!!” during every shootout, really makes you feel like you’re a hardass cop who plays by his own rules in a 1980s buddy cop action flick

I can't decide if Twitter is a wasteland I would do better to avoid, or if it's a wasteland where my "Damn the Man" attitude is vitally important. If the Tao had taught me anything, it's probably both and neither.

I'm configuring my new computer back and forth on several shop websites and I'm always getting easily up to 2000€. Essentially I cannot recycle most of my components. HDDs, DVD drive only. My last configuration was an AMD 3700x, 64GB DDR4-3200, 1TB m.2 SSD, NVidia 2800 super, mainboard, 800W power supply, case. I need a new case because my current has only usb2 ports at the front and I'd like to have something better. Other than that it has some serious scratches from over 14 years of use as well as an unsightly opening on the side panel when these CPU "tubes" were in fashion for directly venting the hot CPU air out. This was never used because my cooler was not shaped in the way to benefit from that.

@adiwan Sounds about right, I just build a 3600 Ryzen 5 powered PC for my dad, Though it has only 16 GB of RAM and a GT 710 instead of 64 GB and a RTX 2080 Super.
No DVD drive though, who needs that in 2020 ? And if you do. Go USB the thing.
> I need a new case
Fractal design define R5 or S. Probably not the S if you want to mount multiple HDD's and a DVD drive up front.
Also I kinda remember Gamers Nexus saying "It is the card noone actually cares about" ( I had it running in the background while doing something else ) http://rainbowdash.net/url/875373 ... So beware on that RTX 2080 Super I guess. -
@drinkingpony I'm a programmer. It's the second best without completely pulling out a leg and an arm to afford a 2080ti. DVD is essential for me and my retro game collection. A portable USB DVD drive could be nice but I have alreay an internal drive. It's also a good cup holder.
-
@adiwan Just saying that I would not fork over 10% extra money for a whopping 4% extra graphical horsies.
Also I melted my cupholder that way once.
No I was not trying to boil water with a USB drive in that one. I am still looking for a suicidal/voluntary USB for that one.

I hate it when there is a lack of subtitles for almost half a minute on a paid DVD, especially when I don't understand the spoken language (Japanese). Good thing I read the book and I can decipher some information from the context. The DVDs were "cheap" at least. If I bought a newer version on Blu Ray I'd cost me 7 times as much.

In the 70s Nixon ordered nuclear strikes that were ignored by military officials because he wasn’t seen as being mentally fit to make those decisions (Richard Nixon was, of course, an alcoholic). We didn’t know about the orders until decades later. Have fun thinking about that one while you sleep tonight!
about a day ago from web-
@mrmattimation Yeah if you strip down the story of details and essentials I can make anyone ( even you ) seem like a total incompetent bubbling buffoon that could play as antagonist in a Mark Groening cartoon somehow.
I do not know all the details. But I do know that North Korea shot down a 'Lockheed EC-121 Warning Star' ( essentially the 1950's version of what we understand now as AWACS ) and killed some 30 something Americans.
Some FBI agent noted how he became 'obsessed' with the EC-121 incident.
When Richard Nixon got on the phone to order PLANS for a tactical nuclear strike and target recomendations however, Henry Kissinger got the JCOS to pull a 25th amendment untill at least he sobered up. Probably because he sounded drunk.
I heard that he forgot about the B61 attached to the F-4 in Kunsan Air Base.
I like doing Trivia night with you tho.
Can we talk about Vasiki Arkhipov next ?

If your level design still makes something a 20-minute task for a speedrunner, it might be a pain in the gorram ass
about a day ago from web-
@scribus GTA SA is super bad about this, speed runners usually resort to killing themselves to warp to hospitals around the state but even then the boundaries dictating where you respawn don’t make as much sense as people like, especially in the countryside portions of the game, where it’s essentially a crapshoot figuring out where you’ll respawn.

Tbh I think that the fact that real X-Wings have taken flight is proof that Disney needs to be stopped.
about 2 days ago from web-
@mrmattimation Really ? That is the point where you go "I think Disney might have gone too far" ?
I won't rant at you for hours on end about how Rey Skywalker is a gigantic Mary Sue, or that Oscar Isaac is going to be GLAD to be gone from the franchise soon enough, or how everyone is expecting John Boyega to squeal like a piggy about how bad Disney is before long enough ( I honestly have higher hopes for Mark Hamill )... or hell, the parks...
Instead, Disney could not even secure the 'rights' to do these cargo-drone flyby 'stunts' for longer than just the weekend because the FAA does not want them to.
And after some contractor hired a contractor to install the trackless system upside down ( which meant the concrete needed to be torn out ) or the MULTIPLE breakdowns of Rise of the Resistance ( because it needed more time in the oven before being ready for prime-time ) I am not sure if I can blame ANYONE for thinking Disney is too fat&bloated&incompetent. -
@mrmattimation I say it doesn't count until they are capable of space flight, THEN it's too far. But I'll still hold out for warp capabilities.

@mrmattimation Does Swole Foods take place in a real fake Virginia town or a fake fake one? I'm working on a series of novels in a fake San Bernardino, CA, myself, just curious about other people's home state integration or whatever.
-
@scribus It’s a fake town that’s an amalgamation of several real towns in Northern Virginia, mostly the suburbs around Fairfax and Loudoun counties. Swole Foods itself is based on a real grocery chain based in Maryland. The skyline that you see in the cartoons and some comics is wholly made up and I’m not sure if that’s the town itself or if it’s just a city that you can see FROM the town, like Arlington or something.

I understand some zoos are more like animal jail, and that's really sad. My mom always disliked the Los Angeles Zoo because of that, but I'm pretty sure that was the old one and I've never been to the new? Either way, who else remembers those toy snakes where you hold the tail and the inevitable microtremors of your body made it move and dance?

Still kind of unclear if I've been adopting them zoo or wild animals, it's all conservation to me. San Diego Zoo does damn good work and runs some great facilities.

I issued a refund and Valve sent me a RMA return label. DO THEY REALLY WANT THAT EMPTY COLA BOTTLE?!?!?!?!?
about 3 days ago from web- Scribus likes this.
-
@adiwan Then they're gonna be all "Why the heck did you send us this?" and you can be like "That's what I wanted to know!"
-
@adiwan Maybe they want the DNA evidence that it was someone on-staff that drank the Cola and as such build a case that you are not lying.
On the other hand... Pretty sure the RMA combined with the original postage plus the costs of the controller at 90% off is less than the DNA kit.
Wait, I got lost in the sauce as they say... Why do they want that Cola bottle ?

Oh, right... I'm supposed to reduce my Twitter use because it makes me want to be dead...

Now that Virginia’s a safe blue state can somebody PLEASE primary my DINO Senator

@mrmattimation I guess that is true. But I am not talking about the senator. I am talking about you seemingly not betting on a horse, but instead betting on the outcome when everyone who gets to vote. If that makes sense.
-
@drinkingpony no, it doesn’t make sense, you’re just spewing again
-
@mrmattimation I do not specifically know what 'spewing again' means. But it sounds nasty.
But in the very least I came to understand that you do not understand me.
