  • I tried it when the first one I tried didn’t work out.

    Ctrl+C hard locked it instantly every time I pushed it. I could right-click and choose “Copy”, but pushing Ctrl-C just froze whatever image was on screen. No response at all after that. Plus it was giving me a headache trying to get Nvidia drivers installed.

    So then I moved to Pop since the correct driver was baked in, and it’s been mostly smooth since.




  • Halo 1 was the first game I ever played online. I played a lot of it.

    But I was a very different person then, and replaying it now reminds me of how stupid I was (because I got into a clan that was very based on that kind of person) and the internal ick just his a fever pitch and ruined the game for me.

    I never played 2 since that was on Vista and I never went back to it after finally getting Win 7.

    After that the series just felt tainted to me. When I first tried it on a console it was really weird with the control setup. I was very used to hundreds of hours on Perfect Dark with the default controls. Having a second stick and rearranging what hand controlled what bent my mind in knots for a while. But it ended up making more sense that way (as you can easily tell by how much it caught on- not saying Halo pioneered it, but it was my first experience with it).



  • I’m just now reviewing ancient comments and replies of mine. If you haven’t found out already, think of a site that’s similar to Facebook, but instead of making “friends” as the big draw, it’s all about your neighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods. So it’s filled with people asking about where to find “cheap reliable (insert service here like landscaping, drywalling, etc)”, suspicious people seen around the place which another commenter mentioned, so given the very white, very Karen-like audience is probably just a notice that some racial minority person was here. Like I mentioned, lost pets are a common post, there was recent 2 different companies going around digging fiber lines for Internet service, and then the predictable “has anyone switched, how do you like it?” type posts that follow.

    A lot of these people don’t know each other, so their only common ground seems, at least where I am, to be mostly just where they physically live, and the fact that they all love Trump.







  • If that’s what it takes for them to stop pretending that anyone wants to pay that much, then great. Alcohol prices are obscene.

    And that’s coming from someone that absolutely hates alcohol’s mere existence as a beverage type. I won’t go into that here, but rest assured I’m not losing any sleep over anything that makes it more obvious it’s a bad choice.

    I’ve always said that I am ok with almost everything that makes cigarettes and/or alcohol less convenient/more expensive/less desirable.

    I’m willing to admit part of it is a “stop looking what I don’t like”, but I REALLY hate both of these things, and will rejoice any time something “terrible” happens to those industries or the people who benefit from them.

    I’m the monster that sees a smoker get lung cancer and just don’t feel bad for them. You literally chose that. Sorry but you did.
