They going for high score, let em cook.

Probably, but until they see at least 20 pictures of your 5 year old in a bikini, they’ll just beat you.

As one of the Americans, home of useless made up measurements, I’ve made an effort to get used to using Celsius at least, mostly just by using weather reports that use it. And while it hasn’t provided much utility living here other than understanding comments made by foreigners occasionally, I do like the system so much better.

This next year I’ll start trying to familiarize myself with length/distance.

I love how metric works so much better. It definitely hits a happy spot in my brain for organization.

Due to living here I can’t just forget the murican system, but it would be nice not to try to need a conversion lookups every time I hear a story about something that happens somewhere else.

It does.

I mean whenever I put my shoes on, my dick grows like 5 inches. So it’s just science, really. Obviously the bigger the shoe, the bigger I get. You know it happens. Everybody knows this. Many people are saying it.

Interesting. I’m not up on my Marx lore tbh.

Yeah, but if want him to fail in a way that makes the rest of his short existence painful and absolutely miserable, and his real punishment would then be “no morphine or even Tylenol”.

That should actually be the default for everyone in there, tbh.

And maybe live stream their descent into death.

This shit should be brutal. And they deserve to know there’s people out here with popcorn cheering it on.

I would drop his class just for being on the board of an AI company.

Well imo I’m not a big fan

Nobody said anything about disarming.

Are gonna really a leftist thing? That doesn’t sound right to me.

I’ve enjoyed the few times I’ve been at a range, but I don’t ever plan to own any.

And I also enjoy a few FPS games, but I wouldn’t say I enjoy guns. Not enough to fit in the common part with conservatives. They fucking jizz their pants if they hear the word “Glock” or “Remington”.

I don’t have a clue what company made the guns I’ve shot.

Fuck, same.

I had “Country Cornflower”.

I also saw a bunch of #4 somewhere. It was either at one set of grandparents’, or one of my friends’ houses.

Mom actually still has the pictured kind, still being used to this day. I was there just last week and there was some of it still drying in the dishwasher. I stole a few plates and bowls when I left, and it’s still the only glassware I’ve ever really used more than a couple times. I’m not particularly find of it, but I have these pieces and I don’t give a fuck what it looks like if it works.

At least it doesn’t have Jesus on it or something. I would draw the line at that.

No, this came up from talking about how it (the puck) doesn’t have to be connected to the device you’re playing on. Which outside of Bluetooth or using a steam machine, you would have to have it connected.

Directly wired hasn’t come up at all until you just mentioned it.

I mean, based on my observations, I think the only people organizing these at all are straight white cisheteronormative types (and further, almost always women).

Maybe that’s just how I’ve seen it, but I’ve never witnessed them, I usually only hear about them at all if a video pops up of a compilation of bad reactions or mistakes (as in wrong color reveal, accidental early reveal) pops up. Maybe that’s just me but I haven’t personally seen much of any other group doing them in the first place. Occasionally there are others, but almost always done by them.

For one, as far as I know that’s a single player game. Anyone with other players around means constant slight readjustments, and having everything you do held back (even if only a tenth of a second- I don’t know the actual number, that’s a ballpark guesstimate) really adds up.

For almost every game it doesn’t matter a whole lot. But when it does, it really matters. Bluetooth headphones pad the audio a smidge too, to the point of rather play without sound instead of late audio. It causes constant sending guessing, and if you’re using both your leaky playing in a game state that’s already past (although when online you always are anyway but cutting as much out as possible is miles better).

My point (the part I quoted in my original reply) was that you would need the puck plugged into the device you’re playing on, assuming you don’t want to deal with the delay.

So if that’s not a problem for you, then that doesn’t apply, but I assume most people will want the fast connection.

I realize that. But that’s just for that machine, but I’m speaking for arbitrary devices.

The protocol hasn’t gotten faster in the last few years that I know of.

I’ve used several with different devices, but most of my direct comparison experience is with an Xbox series X controller paired to the Deck via BT and by dongle, and it’s very noticeably more laggy with Bluetooth. I’ve only occasionally tried others, but every Bluetooth-connected controller I’ve ever used definitely has a noticeable delay.

No one says that you have to explicitly plug it in to whatever you’re playing on.

You do if you want it to connect to the thing you’re playing on.

Unless you’re ok with a shitty Bluetooth connection. But I’m guessing few people comparatively are using that, at least as their primary use case.

You can’t tell me playing with a Bluetooth controller doesn’t actually hurt you. The constant latency is excruciating.

Then again, I use it for mostly real time- based games.

If you’re playing something like Balatro it probably doesn’t matter. But for almost everything else it sure does.

I’ve said this for years.

“Sex Reveal” has an entirely different connotation.

But just let kids tell you.

Give em a few years on their own to be exposed to how gender is expressed, then let them decide who they are.
