By that logic, I should go out and just start a murder spree, because people die anyway so whats the point.

The coathanger experiment should have been the coffin lid on all the audiophile/overpriced super ultra premium cable bullshit.
- Comment on The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K 12 hours ago:
TV manufacturers salivated at the idea of TV resolution, hoping desperately to turn the TV market into something like the PC market, in that you have to upgrade every 5ish years to stay on top of technology and use the latest stuff.
I’m glad the plan is failing spectacularly.
Hopefully this forces them to think more about quality and start focusing on TVs that actually last now… You know, like we used to have 30 years ago.

- Comment on The original FINAL FANTASY VII is getting a new refreshed edition 1 day ago:
If thats the case, then I’d wager you’ll probably enjoy playing the game and stop paying attention to the graphics by the time you get out of the starting area.
- Comment on The original FINAL FANTASY VII is getting a new refreshed edition 1 day ago:
Nah, feel free to trash regardless.
SquareEnix has become an awful, greedy, shit of a company. I’m sure they’ll fuck up this new version somehow.
- Comment on The original FINAL FANTASY VII is getting a new refreshed edition 1 day ago:
Have you played other Final Fantasies?
Do you tend to find yourself prefering the magitech futuristic ones, like 8 and 15, or do you prefer the classic fantasy setting ones like 6 and 9?
If you’ve played other final fantasy games, and like the magitech future ones, then I’d say get it. its only 5 bucks, thats an easy price to justify for a game thats going away and never coming back… and depending on what changes they make to their yet to be released update, 2013 might end up becoming a preferable version to have.
Honestly, its going away forever, so even if you don’t like the magitech ones… might be worth 5 bucks just to have it in case you might want to play it 3 years down the line.
As for story and graphics, well, its a 29 year old game, man. 2013s version is more improved over PSX, but its still gonna be a 29 year old game. If you are someone who cant tolerate retro gaming because of the graphics, then you’ll probably not enjoy FF7… You can mod the graphics, but last I tried (granted, this was years ago)the modding was kind of a pain in the ass and I was never able to successfully get through it.
- Comment on Who buys crazy expensive "new retro" consoles and why? 4 days ago:
Chinese knockoff replacement batteries are always sketchy as hell. Often lying outright about battery specs, and theres always the potential for them to go full samsung.
years ago, ifixit claimed to test their replacement batteries for quality and safety, i dont know if thats still true… but if you’re gonna get a replacement psp battery, I’d get it from there before anywhere else, even if its marginally more expensive.
- Comment on Who buys crazy expensive "new retro" consoles and why? 4 days ago:
I think its mostly for connecting to modern TVs.
Cause it doesnt matter if you get one of those new FPGA consoles, or buy an original console and spend money modding it for HDMI and other shit… it typically comes out to similar cost.
Unless theres been a radical change in price in the last year, HDMI mods for consoles are stupidly, insanely expensive. like 150-200 a pop last i checked, regardless of console.

- Comment on TikTok uninstalls are up 150% following U.S. joint venture 5 days ago:
I continue to argue that it was nothing but a Psyop campaign to test how to manipulate the American public by the chinese government.
Just look at all those insane “trends” it got people to do, like Kicking in strangers front doors, assaulting people, destroying public property, etc etc.
It turned violent sociopathy into an upvoteable activity.
- Comment on If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED. 1 week ago:
I’m not being reductive.
You’re just being an ass.
This is the equivalent to someone asking what color is the sky. Someone saying its blue, then you coming in spending hours flailing your arms desperately screaming “THE SKY ISNT BLUE, IT ONLY APPEARS THAT WAY DUE TO THE COMPLEX NATURE OF THE INTERACTION OF SOLAR LIGHT ON THE MOLECULAR COMPOSITION OF THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE TO MAKE IT APPEAR BLUE”, Then getting big mad when someone goes “So its blue then, thanks”

So yes, LEDs are hot.

Literally all I said is large LED arrays get hot. I did not say that there is nothing hotter in the world than LEDs. I didnt say LEDs were the only source of heat in the universe. I said nothing, but that LED arrays don’t run cold as the original commenter thought.
You’re the one thats spent this entire time trying to “Well ackshually…” and wring your hands in desperate argument to prove a point that no one was making or even talking about.
And you want to call me an idiot for it.

Try so hard to desperately disprove my point, and you fail so catastrophically that you fall into the low hanging trap that is my username.
Congrats for playing yourself.

LEDs are not hot
Someones never accidentally touched an LED array.
I can guarantee you an LED array as big as the sun would generate enormous amounts of heat.and would need massive amounts of cooling.

Zyklon-B, the pesticide used in the gas chambers, was still being manufactured, sold and used (for its intended pesticide usage) all the way up until the 2010s iirc.
and this was still under the Zyklon name.
- Comment on Sell n64 carts? 1 week ago:
I would never sell my games, ever.
I made that mistake once, and it was a decision I’ve regretted for decades.
Evercarts and emulation are convenient, but is nothing compared to having that original box, with the original cart, and original book, and any other stuff, in it.
- Comment on Seems like Trump waited for winter to escalate his ICE agenda but why did he go after Minnesota? People who are completely acclimated to frigid weather. 2 weeks ago:
Hes not totally ignoring the red states.
Every red state has a few blue spots in them, and trust me, hes doing to those blue spots what hes doing to minnesota.

Just throw away the money you spent, and the social groups that use those games as hangouts!
- Comment on I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, they had the same problem… 13 years ago, and their solution doesnt work on modern OS’s due to package changes and command depreciations.
Thats how about 99% of my internet searches for linux problems end up.

Bees are only venomous if they sting you.
But if you are eating delicious bee snacks out of a stolen purse, you’d need them to be poisoned to hurt the thief.
