Depends on the program. I’ve got a handful of that old on CDs that still install fine. Checked when I was backing them up to ISO. There’s little bits of weirdness and unintended behavior while running them now, but they still install and run to a fairly acceptable degree.
That experience varies wildly though. Wine tends to handle things better and more consistently.
It’s even better when you can’t do most of the socially acceptable de-stressing vices due to health conditions.
My lungs are fucky with asthma, so no smonking or vaping. Genetically recessive liver issue that I hit the jackpot on means I can’t drink, or have too much sugar, or long term it might just fucking fibros-ify my lungs. Short-term it gives me migraines, nausea, and exhaustion if I try to cheat it or forget. Leads to some really sucky times after holidays when I just eat too much dessert.
I’m not going to self harm. Body is enough of a mess without adding extra pain and scarring.
Jacking off and gaming it is then.
If you’re not active on the comms on awful.systems, I think you’d like it. Most users are aware of Yarvin etc.
I wonder how many people are browsing this thread to help improve their filters, although the names in the title would probably hide it from anyone that has those set up already.
In moderation. Everyone needs a way to lazily recharge. But make no mistake that even though it’s engaging, it’s only better for you than mindless content consumption by very thin margins.
Oh shit lol, didn’t even catch that myself.
I’m not who you asked for context.
You even took the time to edit this comment and didn’t check who you were replying to?
Lol, wow. You just keep going deeper.
I’m teasing you a little about the clear chip on your shoulder, but I’m completely serious about the fact that you are broadcasting that chip loudly and that it’s a you problem.
You immediately jumping to the conclusion that anyone ever making a complaint about noisy neghbors is in the wrong is ridiculous. Then your further insistence that anyone complaining about it that wants something done has to be calling for eviction or arrest is even more ridiculous.
Most people just want to be able to be in their house without hearing a domestic dispute through the walls, or without being able to make out exactly what songs their neighbor is listening to for multiple hours every day. The goal is to get that to stop, or at least lessen. The solution to achieve that is “whatever it takes, starting with the reasonable options”.
If, after multiple polite conversations, and maybe even some not so polite ones, the neighbor continues or escalates? The loud neighbor has then chosen the severity of the solution by denying the reasonable ones. If you’ve had a neighbor talk to you about your noise repeatedly, then you were the problem, not them.
You can get a sheet of pads to make cabinets and doors more quiet for like $5. You can wear headphones for your music.
Personally, like I said in my last comment, I wouldn’t escalate past talking to them and the landlord. Historically I’ve lived in complexes large enough that a noisy person could be moved to another unit if the landlord had recieved a ton of complaints, which would be my hope from the landlord at the absolute most absurd extreme. If nothing changed, I’d live with it and curse about it a lot. Probably bang on the wall on egregious occasions. Maybe blast something worse back right up against the wall rarely.
Man, I love the internet.
“I’m going to place your statement in a clearly uninetended context, extrapolate further hypothetical events from there, and then admonish you for your statement no longer being reasonable in that completely hypothetical situation!”
Rage? I’m not upset. You seem to be really invested in this though. I was being somewhat flippant in my last comment about the problem likely being you if you’ve somehow been the target of multiple noise complaints or if you’ve somehow known multiple people who would want someone evicted for a basic noise compaint, but this really is coming across as something personal for you.
The only person who mentioned eviction is you. And OP clearly isn’t calling the cops on their neighbors, otherwise the landlord saying they needed a police report wouldn’t be anywhere as much of a problem.
If a polite conversation doesn’t work, and a not so polite conversation doesn’t work, and the landlord stepping in doesn’t work, then we’re all adults and can just be increasingly passive agressive.
ELITE? Really, of all the things to name it?
Well I guess they know who they’re marketing to.
That’s cool, because you willfully misinterpreted OP to start with.
The obvious implication with what they’re saying is people doing it egregiously.
“Someone who likes slamming things” doesn’t usually mean people just using their shit reasonably, it’s also not “literally all my neighbors slam things all the time and I have no concept that the cabinets just might be shit in every unit”.
It’s talking about an outlier.
There’s more room to interpret “or who plays loud music” as maybe referring to someone doing a one off thing, but that’s borderline taking OP in bad faith.
There are absolutely people who rant about gnat farts, but if you’ve encountered any significant amount, I’d suggest you’re probably a lot louder than you think you’re being.
Anyone have any reccomendations for a decently priced IR camera that isn’t dependent on a phone app? Don’t want something that will just stop working because the manufacturer can’t be bothered to keep updating the app later on.
Similarly, Jerboa tries to make @indie-ver.se in the post body into a link to a user profile and also stops at the hyphen.
Everyone knows the warnings on paint thinner is because the illuminati doesn’t want us to know how to open our fourth eye.
Sponsorblock does a good job skipping in video sponsored segments.
It’s been more than fice years since I touched it, but it didm’t work too great for me.
My problem with it is that it requires you to set it all up. The tasks, frequency, chains, point values, etc. I was always second guessing my settings, and it’s very easy to make it too easy.
You have to want it to work, and not want to metagame the gamification of your todo list. That gets harder when you look at the social aspects of it and see all the people with high scores and such who absolutely are metagaming the system instead of just using it as a habit aid.
As evidence: How the fuck is a company as big as Microsoft letting their CEO keep making such embarassing public statements? How the fuck has he not been forced into more public speaking training by the board?
This is like the 4th “gaffe” of his since the start of the year!
You don’t usually need “social permission” to do something good. Mentioning that is at best, publicly stating that you think you know what’s best for society (and they don’t). I think the more direct interpretation is that you’re openly admitting you’re doing the type of thing that you should have asked permission for, but didn’t.
This is past the point of open desperation.
Was there anything at all that helped?
Sounds frustratingly similar to something I’ve been dealing with.
As others have said, is Gooey, is friend.
Lorewise he’s made up of the same stuff as Dark Matter one of the big villians, but the power of friendship means he’s friend.
Mechanics wise, he’s player 2. If you don’t have a real player 2, he’ll be controlled by a basic CPU that mostly copies what you do.
I’ve heard there’s also some cheese you can do by spawning him when you only have one health (negating the one health cost to spawn him) and then eating him to restore up to two health, but imo Dreamland 3 is better without cheesing it.
Unasked for advice: In Dreamland 3, the game that screenshot is from, every level (except boss fights) have some sort of puzzle in the level you can complete to get a “heartstar” from whatever character is standing on the last screen of the level. You unlock the true final boss by collecting all the heartstars and beating each worlds boss while you have all of them for that world.
As is Kirby tradition, the true final boss is horrifying.
