All the more reason to fall back and never spring forward again.

- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 1 week ago:
Truthfully I haven’t gotten a chance to use an 8k screen, so my statement is more hypothetical “I can see a possible benefit”.
- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 1 week ago:
For media I highly agree. 8k doesn’t seem to add much. For computer screens I can see the purpose though as it adds more screen real estate which is hard to get enough of for some of us. I’d love to have multiple 8k screens so I can organize and spread out my work.

So I have a pet theory on studies like that. There are many things out there that many of us take for granted and as givens in our daily lives. But there are likely equally as many people out there to which this knowledge is either unknown or not actually apparent. Reasoning for that can be a myriad of things; like due to a lack of experience in the given area, skepticism that their anecdotal evidence is truly correct despite appearances, and on and on.
What these “obvious thing is obvious” studies accomplish is setting a factual precedent for the people in the back. The people who are uninformed, not experienced enough, skeptical, contrarian, etc.
The studies seem wasteful upfront, but sometimes a thing needs to be said aloud to galvanize the factual evidence and give basis to the overwhelming anecdotal evidence.

- Comment on Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC 2 weeks ago:
I have said the same as well. Prior to them dropping the fat grumpy that is 11, I was all in on the windows ecosystem for myself. I heavily modified it of course so it didn’t have a bunch of the nonsense but overall, the experience was good. But then they started warping 10, and then they came out with 11 which was massive garbage at release and now is worse garbage years down the road. And with that AI outlook, I’m full on bailing from everything.
- Comment on What's the deal with breakfast in bed? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t like breakfast in bed either. Would much rather get my day going first. Brush teeth, take a piss, get some lazy clothes on etc. I wouldn’t mind a couch breakfast, but only if I don’t have to cut anything. If I need a knife, please let’s just do this at the table. I’ll appreciate the gesture just as much and won’t be struggling half conscious to keep my bed clean with a wobbly ass tray.

Might be sleep apnea, or something similar, that is slowing your body producing urine while sleeping. Talk to a doc. Getting apnea treated solves this for many.

Teeth and ass aren’t the same thing and that’s not an equivalent comparison considering multiple people have pointed out that brushing before gives a protective coating or at least is less damaging since there aren’t food acids present, softening the enamel. A quick google search confirms this.

Yeah I can agree with that. Game devs need to take more time to ensure that they aren’t building something that encourages bad behavior.

You aren’t alone on that. One of my friends got it with his new gpu. He tried it not knowing it had PVP and was really enjoying it. Then another player made his life miserable. He quit and won’t play again.
It’s too bad too because me and 3 other friends were also on board with the idea of buying it when he was talking about it. But then we found out it was PVP only and that completely killed it for all of us. So they lost out on about 5 players and 4 purchases from our group just because there wasn’t a no PVP option. And I mean it really doesn’t seem like it’d be hard. Just turn off the connection to other players. If they wanted to go above and beyond, make it so you can play with a small group of friends. But at the very least being able to turn off PVP would’ve been a good idea.
- Comment on If a girl asks you if you're big, are you supposed to lie or not? 2 weeks ago:
If you are in it for a relationship, I’d ask them why the fuck it was any of their business. Are they loose or tight? Are they dry? Do they stink? Ask any reversed gential-related questions to put some perspective on it. And consider moving on to someone else. I guess if you’ve been together a long time and more personal with each other but not having sex, it can be borderline ok from a curiosity standpoint, but if they are shallow enough to have that matter to them, better to just be honest and potentially done with them.
If you guys are just in it to bang, then give any witty response you want. If they double down after that, ask if they are serious or if it matters to them. If it does, give an honest answer. Maybe they are shallow enough to care in which case you are dodging a bullet.

Well, boomer shooters are going to wind down soon and I’m seeing more of the other types creeping in, like perilous warp, that have that slower pace to them. I imagine the pendulum, while never as soon as we would want, is coming sooner than you might expect.
I was overjoyed seeing a resurgence of fast paced shooters once doom 2016 dropped. And I think it follows that once the fast paced stuff runs its course, the next style to see a resurgence is going to be the halo-likes.

There is definitely a dearth of good FPS that fit that mold. I was a fan of the same kinds growing up. Started on Doom and moved through the whole development of the genre. Stopped enjoying stuff as much when slow shooters and cover shooters became prevalent. Hated Halo for example. It’s ok now, but not a formula I enjoy as much.
Anyways that said, if you are looking for deathmatch without centralized servers, I can’t think of anything recent off the top of my head. There is a lot of good fps single player experiences out there. I liked Hrot for example because it taps in to some of the Quake 1 vibes, but has no multiplayer. Doom 2016 and Eternal were fun single player wise. But their Deathmatch is centralized servers. Turbo Overkill was a lot of fun, but no multiplayer. Same for Wrath, Ion Fury, Ultrakill, Prodeus, stalker 2, and others. There’s a new Painkiller coming out Oct 21 but I think multiplayer will likely be centralized servers since it’s crossplatform.
I can go on listing great games but I am coming up blank on anything matching exactly what you are after. Everything I can come up with has a comprise to it. Sorry man. Hard to find something exaclty like the gold classics like that.

Everything about it really. The texture, the weird spot between firm and soft, the way it’s scent pervades my sinuses and coats my tongue where I can’t get it off. Not a big fan of egg, especially strong egg flavors or runny egg. Don’t care for mayo either. So mixing them together is just a match made in hell for me.
Tuna salad is really spotty for me too. Mostly comes down to whether there is anything besides the tuna and mayo, how much mayo, and whether it was seasoned. Really like tuna on the whole though. Also if making a sandwich with it, it’s gotta be toasted. Lol I’m not super picky normally, but this is one of my few areas where I come across as a bit of a child.
