Re: Things that Mildly Annoy You

Why is someone not looking for a romantic relationship such a reality-defying concept for everyone. Every time anyone brings up the topic of me not wanting a girlfriend someone immediately asks if I'm gay, because if you don't want to bother with one gender you must want the other one apparently.

Re: General Game Gabbin'

But why? Older consoles are hundreds of times less demanding than current tech. Wrapping them in virtual machines or running them through an emulator is cheap and effective and works just fine and is a pretty streamlined process. The moment you change one line of code in an old ROM or start making g...

Re: General Game Gabbin'

But then it wouldn't be a port but a remake. I happen to have done a bit of NES programming last year and that shit is hard. You can't just port it to any other platform because it is very deeply tied to the NES hardware and architecture and is written in the lowest programming language next to stra...

Re: Tech help general

For those who want to disable Win10's spying (which isn't actually disabled completely when you use the UI to do so), there's this tiny script that does it for you. Looking at the source code it looks trustworthy and straightforward.

Re: All topics unimportant enough to not create a thread for

I cant really say much else cause middle school broke me and i stopped giving a fuck what others thought and just talked about mattered to me, so I never hesitated to talk about the Fire Emblem Forum I was on or how being a Vice-Host for an Evony guild helped me as a leader as stuff like that. That...

Re: All topics unimportant enough to not create a thread for

An actual guild or a MMO guild?
I've been in the latter but we've never done much together. Also I would be too embarrassed to talk about MMOs in front of real-life people and especially non-nerds.

Re: All topics unimportant enough to not create a thread for

I have to do an oral presentation in two weeks for my psychology/communication class. We have to talk about something personal but it can't be our academic path. That leaves me with nothing to talk about because I have no personality of my own and no life to speak of. Help.

$320 worth of car repairs later: "Oh by the way <other part> needs to be repaired ASAP and you're in danger until then" I'm just trying not to have a breakdown over the new semester and how every class is going horribly wrong after only one week and I can't use my stupid car every other day until I'...

Re: Things that Mildly Annoy You

I have to read a chapter of this psychology textbook every week and the first one was a chore. The first 20 pages or so were just an overly enthusiastic circlejerk (even for social sciences) with gross generalizations and exagerations and could be boiled down to "talking is communication". It seriou...

Haha I woke up at 6 am to get to this class with CantTeach McIncompetent and he wasn't even there, he was replaced by another teacher and the class lasted exactly 6 minutes.

Re: All topics unimportant enough to not create a thread for

Penultimate college semester starts tomorrow. One of my class is called Interaction and Communication (ew). I got the syllabus already. It involves psychology, communication, human interaction, roleplay, and holding a log of our progress/feelings/self-image that we have to update every week and turn...

Re: All topics unimportant enough to not create a thread for

So is there any OS to use that won't harass you with ads? There are thousands of Linux distributions that aren't Ubuntu. As far as I know it's the only noteworthy one that has any ads. Look at the list on the right side of this page for a top 100 of the most popular ones. If you want Ubuntu minus t...
