Your first anime show/film in c/[email protected]

It's kind of fuzzy, but I think my first anime was Excel Saga. It was as bizzarre as it was hilarious.

Before your change to Linux in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Switched around the time Windows 7 was out. The reason is Windows Update. It took FOREVER to do its thing. And it was janky as all hell. I distinctly remember clicking on the "check for updates" more than once, because it didn't find any updates the first time dor whatevee reason. Anyway, I had one update breakage too many and I snapped. Had Linux as my main OS since then and a few years later it became my only OS.

Basically, I wanted an OS that stayed out of my face and Windows wasn't it.

Not surprising. Either this was their long game or MS is in crisis mode, because lately they haven't been doing so hot.

To my fellow Linux users: it's okay to use a GUI. Really.

As a contrbuting member of Society of Linux Users on Terminals I am aghast, AGHAST at the very proposition of using *shudder* graphics on your Linux system. I mean, the very idea! If you can't browse the web in console mode, then why even bother using Linux? GUIs are for quitters.

So... How was your weekend? in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

It sounds like you're not really interested in how everyone spent their weekend and want to vent instead. But on the off-chance that I've misjudged the situation: the weather was kinda shit, so I spent most of my weekend playing The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles on the Switch. Is good game.

True, his message doesn't exactly radiate happiness, but I can assure you he felt SO much better after writing this. Tech support also doubles as everyone's personal therapist, you see.

how can i get better at english?? i know how to speak in english and i fully understand it but there are a few problems i have in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

Looking at your responses it seems that you have a good grasp on the english language. Which is good! It means you have all the tools available to you when making conversation. You probably just need more practice. Conversations in non-native languages can be difficult, because you have to come up with an answer on the spot. It's not impossible, though. You'll probably stumble for words and make mistakes at first, but that's perfectly normal and okay.

tl;dr: talk more. Good luck!

For those unaware, The Triple-i Initiative is a group of indie studios whose purpose is to highlight fan-favorite games and hype up established indie classics as well as new IPs.

So, without further ado, here are the trailers. Names in bold are new releases, the rest are updates to existing games:

I hate the term "Boomer Shooter" (lemmy.ml)
submitted 4 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
124 comments fedilink

Not to say I hate the genre, I actually love me some Dusk or Turbo Overkill, but why, oh why are they called Boomer Shooters?

These games clearly took inspiration from 90s FPS games, which 👌, but they were played mostly by Gen Xers and Millenials, not Boomers. When games like Duke Nukem 3D or Quake were out, Boomers were what? 30 to 50 years old? I'm sure some of them played FPS games, but there is no way they were the majority.

Whenever I see the term Boomer Shooter, my mind goes to games like Shootout! for Magnavox Odyssey. Can't we call them something else, like Retro FPSes or something?

Anyway, rant over. Thank you for your time.

[RMA] What is this lump on my friend's CPU? (lemmy.ml)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

EDIT: We decided not to pursue further diagnosis, because we wouldn’t know what the hell we’re doing anyway, and decided to start the RMA process instead. It might not even be the reason why the PC won’t turn on, but I’m not comfortable with putting that CPU back into his PC again. Once we get a replacement, we’ll see what happens. If it’s still busted, we’ll just take it to a local shop. Thank you everyone for your for your suggestions and insight, they are very much appreciated.

My friend called me to take a look at his PC that wouldn’t turn on. Upon inspecting his CPU, I noticed a silver bump at the bottom. I’ve never seen this. Can anyone tell me what it is?

Where did this HAARP nonsense I keep hearing about come from? (lemmy.ml)
submitted 11 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

So, I heard several people now mention HAARP as the cause for all the natural disasters that have been happening lately. And here I thought the cause was rampant pollution and global warming!

But seriously, I'm looking at the HAARP page on wikipedia and it seems to be an array for studying the ionosphere? How in the hell do you go from "we're using this to see what's happening way up there in the sky" to "this causes tornadoes"? Who even started this garbage?

This is an email I came across at work. I seriously can't believe they're trying to justify being stressed. It may not be as caustic as other posts you see on here, but it still kinda pissed me off.
