There's no way these are problems real people really have for real. Right?

Apparently I just committed some kind of cardinal sin trying to insert two columns in an Excel document that has brought my work laptop to the brink of complete collapse. I swear, trying to use modern productivity software is an exercise in pure masochism.

Certain kinds of people must be melting down over the fact that all software is now effectively open source. (I know that as a legal concept it is not, please don't hit me with the um ackshually)

I think it's weirdly one of the things SF6 does well: system mechanics mean that any character you vibe with has access to SOMETHING that satisfies this. Their relative strengths might vary - and some might get too much of it - but there are no absolute have-nots in the game as far as I know.

Incidentally I agree with you re: every game ever. Even non fighting games, the best way to advance your game plan is the one that preserves your options while limiting your opponent's. That's the bare bones distillation of "always do it", and it's true in every 1 vs 1 competitive game.

AI is conscious AND it is my girlfriend AND it is my slave. A perfect scenario for me, a normal person. Not gonna think too deeply about this. Now do all other living human people deserve the level of investment devoted to my Tamogotchi slave girlfriend? Not so fast.

I get the sense that this is about a particular character in a particular game, but I'd be interested to hear some examples of characters that do this in games other than SF6. (Because it will help me choose which ones to learn, since I like doing things the easy way)

With winter on the way I'm looking very much forward to swapping 'garden time' for 'mini painting time' until spring. Two Starcraft armies to paint, a lot of Battletech WIPs to finish, and a bunch more ideas shelved over the insanely chaotic last ~18 months gonna get done.

To expand on this: nothing kills my momentum more than not having the thing I need *right now*, so I mean right down to like, what gauge of brass sheeting/your most commonly used diameter of polystyrene rod, etc. I want to stock a workbench, kinda. Thanks in advance and again, amazing work.

I've been painting minis for a cumulative decade. In the last year-ish started dipping my toes into conversions/kitbashes. Yours are crazy impressive. If you don't mind answering a question: is there a list of materials you'd recommend someone pick up and just have on hand for most projects?

I used my thumb to scrape some seeds out of a hungarian wax pepper making dinner last night. Hands have been washed i don't even know how many times but there's still a detectable amount of capsaicin lurking under the thumbnail. TL;DR - don't do this.

Sure, but I didn't say go engage with them. The tools used on bsky to take away the oxygen for their behaviour are available everywhere: block, ostracize, ignore, etc. None of those things are the same as avoiding a public (ish) space because they are present in it.

After vanilla and TBC classic sunk their hooks in near as bad the second time around I don't know if I can be trusted with a WoW sub. But the idea of whatever they're trying to do with Forever...idk. I'm interested. Annoyingly, frustratingly interested.

I learned HTML to create a shitty fan page for Resident Evil 2. Is this finally an RE film that feels in any way like the games used to? Because that would make me *so happy*.

I'm 43 and feel and look the best I ever have. This is - finally - an addictive pastime that is actually good for me. If anyone happens to read this who's on the fence about getting started: fucking do it, as soon as you can. It's worth it.

I'm almost a month into my return to the home gym. Modified everything to work around my shitty lower back. In there 5 days a week. Diet sorted. I'm not benching my bodyweight (yet) but working weights are all climbing like crazy and I *feel* strong as fuck.

I have committed to becoming gym man. This necessitates a meal plan where my ADHD having ass now has reminders set to actually eat, because I've been accidentally consuming only ~1500-1600 calories a day. I'm 5'11" with wrists 8" around. It's a miracle I haven't fucking died.

Not at all. Consciously or not, the "I've been hurt before" thing these dudes are doing is probably meant to a) attract women who'll think "I can fix him" and/or b) hint at a level of vulnerability without actually being vulnerable in any way. I know this because I used to be one of them.

This is why there's an audience for content creators reading the patch notes to people. At my level of play, apart from characters I actually use it would be the work of multiple days to figure out the real effect of many of these.
