I’m in this picture. My main medication seems to have pretty mundane effects, and there’s a chance that it will completely shut down my liver. However my quality and duration of life have gone way way up and I have no regrets.

Every single time I try youtube subtitles because I didn’t understand something, they end up being useless AI subtitles and I am faced with disappointment again.
I could understand how it would be helpful for the hearing impaired watching clearly-enunciated youtube videos, though. Should still hire professionals for movies.

I’m with you. It may be that it’s “technically legitimate use of language” according to linguists, but that doesn’t mean my distaste for it isn’t any less legitimate either.
- Comment on Mark Zuckererg Demos New Facebook AI And It Couldn’t Have Gone Worse 3 weeks ago:
It always seems weird to me that they didn’t market it for its true potential, as a D&D and board game medium.
I built one myself with diffusive plastic, a short throw projector, and a PS3 camera, and it ruled.

I’ve seen maybe 3 passable figures by them. Mind boggling that they actually sell.
- Comment on Important Notice of Security Incident 5 weeks ago:
My big complaint with Jellyfin is that their documentation showed a “fast forward” hotkey that convinced me to switch from Plex, and when I started it up it was a misnamed “jump forward five seconds” button instead.
It’s still better for my needs, but I remain angry.
- Comment on Finished Inscryption two days ago and I am absolutely amazed (minor spoilers) 1 month ago:
I’m surprised to see so many people have played this. I loved it but never met anyone who had heard of it.

Thankfully I made it through the first season of the Office, which is now a favorite show. If I can make it through that when every episode gave me psychic damage, I can make it through anything.
- Comment on The devil made me do it 1 month ago:
No joke last week I made 48 deviled eggs for a dinner party and as I was piping the filling I got a text rescheduling the event, leaving me with 48 deviled eggs and no one to help eat them.
It was a dangerous time for me.
- Comment on I made a custom arcade stick 1 month ago:
When Street Fighter IV came out, I spent several months consumed with making my own custom fightstick. Weighing the options for different switches, color coordination, the pros and cons of different gate options. Probably spent at least 100 hours looking for the perfect image for the decal on top alone. When I finally had it all together I was over the moon.
Then, almost immediately, I realized that I didn’t actually like playing Street Fighter that much, and completely lost interest in the hobby. Checked that one off the list, I guess.

Unless you are wearing a hi vis vest, I hear. Then they let you walk right on by.

If you are concerned, you could start by inviting him and his friends to something first.
- Comment on Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Pre-Order Trailer 1 month ago:
People said good shit about cyberpunk 2077 at release.
And after a lot of work it’s one of my favorite games.
I’m not going to pre-order this one, but I’ll stay cautiously optimistic.
- Comment on Dying Light 2 Removes Stamina from Parkour System 1 month ago:
This game made me so angry after loving DL1. I can’t even remember specifically why, hopefully it was the stamina and now it’s fixed. I’ll never know because it’s dead to me.

There’s a soda machine in seattle on the sidewalk of some random street not near any store, that someone stocks with random cans of whatever. Stuff I would have bet money doesn’t exist, sometimes. Never heard anyone mention it, but when I brought it up they were like “oh yeah that haunted vending machine.”
- Comment on Rockstar Games Plans Age Verification For GTA Online 2 months ago:
To be honest I regret spending so much time earning money and buying so many cars. It would have been more fun riding around in a stolen piece of trash robbing liquor stores with a friend than grinding the bank heist over and over.
- Comment on WrestleMania was running wild on you 2 months ago:
It’s a quick-draw stance, I believe.
- Comment on WrestleMania was running wild on you 2 months ago:
Good point, but it’s still an annoying meme format because of the nonsensical double negative on nobody saying nothing.
I know I’m alone on this hill, but I’ll die here.

In my experience people will often offer $20 for anything worth up to $1000 and as little as $50, any less and they want it delivered for free.

Better to just accept the gifts for yourself and let them fire you. I imagine a juicy wrongful termination suit would be appropriate.
