  The Latitudes are balls in the worst way. Including the new “Pro” models. I’ve had i7 and i9 Latitudes that are slower than my i5 XPS 13, and yeah that thing sucks too but at least it sucks predictably.

  I bet you a dollar that the ratio of votes on your post will be some number by January 11th.

  I bet you a dollar that President Trump will not live to see 2037.

  We’re just two people making bets here. Anyone want to sidebar on this action?

  Just keep old computers is all. Eventually your spec will be considered ‘retro computing’ and you can still enjoy the thousands of games that are playable on real hardware.

  You posting on the Internet is also useless digital garbage, so put your money where your mouth is and go do something productive.

  They even have a part with translated subtitles… You could’ve at least chosen Snatch for your reference for Brad Pitt’s Pikey impersonation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Just log into the Anet Account associated with the game.

  Also, I still have my original games, in box.

  Find all the words that start with “ab”… Ctrl + F “ab” and do a scan to see how many instances of ab aren’t at the start.

  (x = results found) - (y = count that don’t start with ab) = z.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Black Friday, more like buy stupid shit day.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If I didn’t need to buy cough syrup, I wouldn’t have spent a cent today.

  Took a walk, sat on a bench, played decade old games, decorated the tree, and ate leftovers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dry Shampoo is the teenage girl equivalent to teenage boys' Axe Body Spray⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Back when I was in the desert, if a shower wasn’t available for a period of time, I would rub some sand on my head.

  Better than the grease.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG survey: "My thoughts about games are connected to GOG, especially when it happens automatically."⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Got Banned for Fixing Roku — The Paul Blart Mod Chronicles⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Upvotes higher than views? Considering how many lurkers there are? Considering even people who engage with a post don’t necessarily upvoter? They said 8k views, 12k upvotes. Even if those numbers are reverse, that’s an insane engagement ratio.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: you can stop Microsoft users from sending 'reactions' to your email by adding a "x-ms-reactions: disallow" header⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the idea - I don’t want to send you an email back, here’s a thumbs up to show I’ve received it.

  I hate the execution because I get an email telling me you reacted to my email.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually, the raw number percentage shows that the increase is due to Mint, Ubuntu, and Bazzite. Maybe people are installing Bazzite on their Deck but likely not the other two.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨thats all⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fine, females, fine, fellas. Alliteration, my dude? “Wonderful on women, worse on… Whitey?” “Great for girls (er…), garish on guys” “Mejor para mujeres, es peor para papas”

  Yeah, there’s better ways to do it but it’s more effort than anyone should put in to a shit post.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fucking math...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, this will be so helpful when I’m trying to figure out 20% of 36.23!

  Look, move the decimal one to the left, you’ve now got 10%. Double that and you’ve got 20%. How often are y’all trying to find out percentages of nice even numbers like that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK - the crazy questions all jobs on usajobs.gov now ask⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Federal Jobs are (previously) stable and offer good benefits. Pay is lower but you get guaranteed days off and clear expectations for work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendon't⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nintendo Developer Kit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d argue that is a totally valid way of playing - half the game is designing homes after all. A quarter is doing the life sim thing and the other quarter is removing ladders from pools.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So, you did ask for this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Steam Controller's stick is upgradeable!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I played 200 hours of MGSV with the Steam Controller. I love it.

  I hate playing Xcom with the Steam controller which, arguably, it should be better at.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everybody is fine with celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg making up fake names for themselves, but when someone chooses a name for themselves to suit their gender identity it's suddenly a problem⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would call myself JD too if my parents named me Jerkin Dapenis as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Autumn Sale 2025 Has Begun⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yakuza 0 is with it but then you have to play Yakuza 1-6 and then you put the games down and get gifted Yakuza 7 so now you have to beat 4 through 6 and they just announced Kiwami 3 so you’ll probably want to compare that to 3 remastered and next thing you know you’ve bought Yakuza Dead Souls and you’re questioning your life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Autumn Sale 2025 Has Begun⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Like, I’m sure Spider-Man is good but it’s still $60 and ‘only’ on a 50% sale? You can get it for $15 at GameStop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So she's saying that she's a sexual bull?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Does… Does that mean he kills them after?

  Because I could see that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dinner is ready! ⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, D gets you at least four entirely different types of cuisine and Australian stuff will still have that Euro/American vibe. Only downside is you’ll technically be allowed to eat Vegemite.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨9 months after its 1.0 launch flopped, an indie dev just learned that Steam never emailed the 130,000 people who wishlisted its game⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Goes both ways, buy the homies a gift.

  Also, know their birthdays and things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨9 months after its 1.0 launch flopped, an indie dev just learned that Steam never emailed the 130,000 people who wishlisted its game⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have games on my wishlist from 2015. Almost a decade at this point.

  My wishlist exists more to let Internet friends know what to get me when they feel like it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨political debate⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, apparently HR has some issues with “I would slice a Nazis head off for free, don’t even ask me what I’d pay to do it.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Senators Press Amazon’s Bezos on Unfair Scheduling Practices Hurting Workers: Amazon’s “just-in-time” scheduling leaves hourly workers with volatile schedules, uncertain paychecks⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, my thought exactly, I doubt Wawa has a fancy term for it but it’s better than all your staff coming in or calling on Thursday to see if next week’s schedule is posted.

  It’s ‘humane’ to shoot the deer in the heart! You’re not supposed to give the deer a rectal exam with them!
