My partner got me a GPU a while back (oh my god I looked it up and it was ten years ago aaaaaaaaa) that was an incredible deal for its power, but had a TON of reports of coil whine. I was delighted to hear nothing from it the first few days of playing! Then it promptly died. To death. To shreds, even. ah well, it happens, better now than out of return period. I sent it back for a replacement and got another one, TERRIFIED its replacement would be an auditory nightmare after being lucky the first time.

I got lucky the second time, and it still works to this day!

I feel you on that one. Cotton balls don’t bother me, but I know that’s a nightmare for my mum. That and just the idea of

(I’m sorry to put that in anyone’s head if that bothers them oh god lemme spoiler that just in case) bothers her a ton but doesn’t really hit for me.

Electronic sounds can be a nightmare. I love CRTs but I can’t be around many of them because they hit my brain in The Bad Spot. One tiny benefit to my tinnitus is I’ve found a few CRTs that seem to have a similar/the same frequency so I can be around them when they’re on!

Floorp is pretty on-the-ball from what I’ve seen!

Oh god yeah. I LOVE Pokémon but the highest a Pokémon game has gotten from me is a 7/10 (Smoon, Bwhite) in many years. bwhite had a great story with great mechanics and great QoL. Smoon had EVERY Pokémon in it and was the last game to do so. The beginning was an awful slog, but I loved all the locations, music, QoL features, and the endgame was incredible. Loved Battle Tower and how simple the game made to see the IVs of your Pokémon, while still keeping it challenging to breed a near perfect or perfect one.

The Switch main line games are mediocre to abysmal (ScarVio are neigh unplayable on the Switch) and the Legends game are good: 6/10 for Arceus and I just started ZA or whatever on an emulator and don’t have an opinion at all on it yet, other than it sure does look nice at 1440p/60 hahaha

I want a game review site where there’s a number and it’s legit. Like

1/10 - Irredeemably bad. The music is terrible, the sounds are grating (or missing), the visuals hurt to look at (or are completely boring, which might be worse.) controls make it frustrating to navigate. I also give this to bland games with extremely predatory monetization, where the goal of the game is “make as much money as possible from whales”. Usually a mediocre mobile game skinned to a popular IP, maybe with some of the same aspects as that other game, but a huge wall where suddenly it’s spendin’ time.

2/10 - this is rough. Like, really rough. Something about it is either unique, funny, or novel, so it gets a point for that. Overall, you’re proooobably gonna want to skip this. It’s going to be tough for even big updates to fix the flaws in this game.

3/10 - this game has some redeeming qualities, but huge flaws as well. Worth it to try if you can get a deal, but needs a lot of work, and won’t be for everyone. Probable skip for most folks.

4/10 - A good game with many flaws, but worth picking up if you’re really into this kind of game. Maybe this has been done better by other games, or maybe there’s glitches. It’s not terrible, but below average.

5/10 - a perfectly serviceable game. If you like this series, you’ll certainly be playing it. If you like this game type, it’s worth checking out. A lot of CoDs and BF games have fallen here since BF4 for me.

6/10 - A good game. It’s good! Above average, and definitely worth playing if you like this type. This is the most stacked category for games I’ve played overall.

7/10 - Pick this game up, it’s very good. If this is on a console with a smaller library (N64, Dreamcast, 32x, GameCube) deeefintiely pick it up.

8/10 - A True Great. Few or no flaws, very fun. Great controls, interesting graphics, fun story, overall just a stellar game. Play this.

9/10 - almost perfect in every way. Maybe perfect, but a genre that might limit people. Or incredible but very difficult to play without spending a lot of money (Alyx comes to mind when I say that, but that’s an eight for me)

10/10 - Should almost never be given out. Incredible flawless perfection that everyone in the world with most of their limbs, sight, and vision in tact MUST check out. I have very few games (or movies, shows, books) that get a 10. We don’t need to grade things like their parents are getting a report card, some 10s I see given out are baffling.

I worked with a Barb Adcock! Her E-mail was indeed [firstinitial][lastname]@school, which must’ve been a hoot with students.

I had a friend with rich parents who had one and it diiiiiid have some burn-in. Old rear-projection and early plasma TVs were verrry susceptible to that hahaha

As a kid, I would have been CRUSHED if we had one of these and I couldn’t play SNES on it…

If only… our 27” family CRT was like a thousand dollars. A nobody had rear projection TVs until like the 2000s!

ehehehe that’s a good one

I am wayyy too lazy today but I desperately want to edit that to Yaranaika

Outdoors takes that long?! Wild! Teachers were flushin’ in like a month or two. Good luck on your outdoor grow! :3

Thank you, I’ll look into that! I’d love more stuff at home that I can make vegan meals with for friends who don’t eat animal products (and I just love eating mushrooms!)

Oh yah, all it takes is a plastic tub with a latching lid and a fine mist spritzer! The first time I did super poorly but had pins in a couple weeks, and got a couple flushes (which I harvested way too late.)

Another try and the first flush was WAY more thicc, got about seven flushes over the course of two or three months before I stopped them. Just threw em in a room with no special light or anything, just spritzed twice a day or so. Barely touched them or did anything, just went in to wet em a little and admire them occasionally. They were extremely self-sufficient!

Took ages to dry, but once completely dried out, easily 120+g total from the second batch!

Are oysters and shiitakes easy? I did Teachers and they were soooooo simple, it was fascinating! It’d be nice to have some just to eat for yum and not expedience.

Yes, I’d definitely rather have a fucking dead site than see pictures of people’s pretty DEs that they’re proud of, and read discussions about why people like or don’t like certain things. Just a dead void of nothing sounds so superior to that as a newer user of GUI Linux distros instead of just headless. Thanks for telling me that I’m an EnShiTTiFiEr because you only want… I don’t even know what you fuckin want, some exclusive club with a post a day about what? Go make your own shitty specific club then and only let people in who post… whatever garbage you wanna see instead and see how long that lasts

Ah yes, exactly what Lemmy needs at this point: fewer posts and fractured communities, that’ll certainly help make the platform better in its infancy.

Blast from the past!

I’m so fuckin sad “Sonic The Hedgehog Gets Stuck In A Hole Because He’s Fat” was removed from YouTube. They did my boi Tamers so dirty.

Oh that’s amazing hahaha. I downloaded it without reading more than your description, then played it with my partner without saying anything about it. About 2/3s of the way through the cans… top score so far is a B.

I wonder what it was that made me tag you with a green tag that says “I like this person”…?
