My home is off the grid

Things are getting better. A new fiber-only network provider is expanding across my region so I got it installed a few months ago. No data caps, 500 Mbps up+down for $50/month.

so many of my devices have the ports installed upside down

That’s what autism is. Normal people “read between the lines” or something. At least that’s what I’ve been told

I thought Apple did away with fans years ago

I’ve said too much they’re coming for me they know they know they know

Might make the thermal dissipation stop working properly

The design forces the user to use it wirelessly. Apple just wants their products to look better, meaning NO CORDS EVER. It’s entirely about aesthetic.

We need capitalism it has to be this way there’s no other option

probably the CrowdStrike bug. Which is 3rd party software

My eyes need different amounts of focusing power, and different astigmatism, for each.

The lenses in a VR headset make it seem like the screen is infinitely far away. If you need glasses normally, then you will need to wear them or something equivalent to see clearly in VR.

you can think about it in a cold prison cell

quantum computing

that’s even more of a pipe dream than AI

that’s the sound I make every time I have to boot up the Ubisoft launcher

These games have infinite replay value and people like them. That’s all a top ranking game is. Many have tried to replicate these successes and failed (in recent memory, Concord). There have been a huge number of good games coming out too. But they’re not somthing you put 2,000 hours into with your friends.

There’a a big element of the snowball effect too. Big games attract more players than small games. Esports are a lot like normal sports in that regard. People make new sports pretty often but Football, Basketball, Baseball etc have been around for 100+ years so they have large communities and social relevance. If I asked my buds to go out for a match of “whipple stick”, my new favorite sport, they’d just laugh at me.

On the other hand, new games CAN become huge if they’re built well enough. A few of the top 10 were released less than 10 years ago, which says a lot about how these “main games” DO change over time. I think Deadlock will get up there after a few years of polishing.
