They wanted a bribe dude.

You're thick.

Over and over again I point out that people like you are the problem with this platform.

Everybody wants meaningful dialogue, but then YOU show up.

You're nothing but a selfish vandal.

Would you prefer I say I detest a person but I have no justification?

He's an immature, unfunny, limited-talent, zero charm hack.

He does not deserve a career in film.

We're a British colony dude.

The best defense against sealioning is to give people more credit than they want and to believe they are smarter than they let on. "Nobody could be this dumb and if they are, it's fruitless to attempt dialogue" should always be on ones mind.

So Google shuts you out of their rankings and results to sell this. Fuck you.

What needs to happen is the underlying direct feed path needs to still exist, but a modernized connector to bridge it. Because you are right, people don't understand just how much area the connector port requires.

I have no idea what it takes to bring such a thing to market, but I know that from a hardware perspective you're looking at two wires.

Come on people don't spoil sport this, it was funny!

Remember when Google+ was the future?

No and you can see from my comment history that once .ee shuts down I'm gone. This place is just idiotville and I don't consider myself one of you.

Lemmy was architected by people whose philosophical intentions are out of alignment with the software they cloned.

That system was designed to invite as many idiots as possible, to bait as much engagement as possible, with virtually no controls on quality or intelligence.

Well congratulations Lemmy, you've made the next Reddit. There's no reason to be here, it's just a pile of morons for the most part.

Yes.

Like any interest, people get so far removed from the original point, it becomes about something new.

Like cast iron. People go from not really knowing about it to learning how to cook with it, to learning how to do basic maintenance. About 20% of people go completely off the rails, and they start buffing and polishing them like they are fabergé eggs, and joining cast iron groups.

Privacy is the same. Learn the basics, follow the basics, relax and get over yourself.

I'm just leaving this whole platform.

It's nothing special. Every fucking idiot you've ever met in your life on Reddit is coalescing here.

Have you had a meaningful conversation here? An informative one? I've been here 2+ years and I can honestly say no.

Have you seen a link that isn't effectively a complete recycling of what you already know to be true?

It's the same recycled bullshit you have seen for the last 20 years.

The whole format of a "democratic" link dump site is fundamentally broken. I see that now.

Prone?

Hell, they are almost designed to break. They are utterly shabby in terms of build quality.

I was one of the early adopters going back to November 2015

I am not lying when I tell you I have been through 17 of these controllers. It's the right bumper almost every time.

I have a giant handful of the dongles. I was saving them thinking they would go up in value but now like $2 knockoffs are available LOL

Edit: the first one I received, out of the box, had a broken face button membrane. The replacement I received had a non-functioning back right paddle. The replacement for that had a non-functioning R shoulder and you could hear the plastic crunching on each press. That's just the first three I received and I'm not counting those in the 17 that I destroyed in my own hands.

They were built like absolute shit. After the first run got sold and they shored-up manufacturing problems, they got marginally better but the fundamental underlying issue never was solved.

If it wasn't such a wonderful controller, I would have stomped the first one into powder and never looked back.

PEBKAC

This old game called Squarez Deluxe.

I know it's old, I know it has low resolution, I know it doesn't meet the standard of modern gaming, but it's (in my view obviously) the best shape packing game ever made.

Like destroys Tetris... Which can't even hold a candle to this game. Not to say that Tetris is a bad game, it's a brilliant game!

I just think Squarez Deluxe takes it to the next level and gives so much room for player creativity.

The basic just is that you have a play field, and with a short timer for each, you are given blocks which can be various 9x9 shapes that you rotate and move freely on the grid and place at will.

All of the complexity comes from the special blocks which can have positive, negative, or in between effects.

Your positive tools are scarce, but if you use them creatively and with forward probabilistic thinking, you can have amazing, hour-long sessions that you cannot look away from.

Some of the special blocks are goo traps that explode so shapes that pass by get stuck. Some are acid that let you destroy blocks at will and you can form your pieces into very unique shapes that tuck in exactly where you need them.

There are bombs, mines, missiles, playfield expanders/contractors, etc.

The first two modes get you acquainted with the mechanics, but Extreme Mode is where the game is played.

The original developer is a cool dude and he changed it to freeware so you can grab DOSBox and hit myabandonware or archive and be playing like in minutes.

Most of the people who watch Nickelodeon don't know where it came from either.

This is such a small way of looking at things.

The best thing you can do is live according to your ethics and values. By setting an example.

Putting a sticker on says hey... you behave this way.
