No, they can. They just enjoy an overall smoother and prettier experience. I was once able to afford such a machine.

Hell, tuning the graphics and all that is an experience. I used to get games I’d never play looking as good as possible just because it was fun to tinker until I got the best performance I could get.

It’s a whole other experience. I’m happy to play whatever, but that was fun too.

I still have my old consoles hooked up to an old crt. I still play my NES and N64 regularly.

For fun (and I need to make a video), I say to my toddlers,

“What does the cat say?” “Meow, meow”
“What does the dog say?” “Woof, woof!”
“What does the chicken say?” “Bock bock bock”
“What does the cow say?” “It go, moooooooo”
“Great job! What does the Yoko say?” “Ayyyeee ayyyeeee ayyyeeee ayeeee”

I know it’s cheesy but it’s could die laughing every time.

I’m on the leaderboards for pinballfx. Every time I get closer to the top 3 my wife says, “Talk to me when you’re number 1.”

Does this mean I’m good at sex?

theangryseal ,

She said no!!! 😭

I really don’t understand why the whole finder/explorer/dolphin way of doing things wasn’t carried over to phones.

I’ve only really used Apple phones, but that was something that shocked me right away.

Back when I jailbroke my phones (before I got lazy) I had an awesome file explorer with the finder icon that made me feel at home for a bit.

theangryseal ,

I was so excited when they announced that and showed Minecraft just hanging out in the living room.

I wouldn’t have used it long.

theangryseal ,

My boomerang lasted many years though, I’ll give it that.

I just upgraded from the 6 Plus to the 12 Max like a year ago.

I know Lemmy hates Apple, but I love iOS. Probably because I started on it. My son almost has me convinced though. I might let him pick my next phone and put LineageOS on it.

theangryseal ,

It’s pretty awesome that I got nearly a decade out of my last phone. I didn’t upgrade because it wasn’t meeting my needs either, I upgraded because I had been through 10 screens in that time and the connectors were in bad shape. I’d have to smack it to get the screen on sometimes, or pop the screen up and push on the connectors.

theangryseal ,

I’ve never had one. I’ve never bought anything from Amazon.

I’m fine.

theangryseal ,

Stop yellliiiinggguuuh!

theangryseal ,

I would love it so much. I’d feel right at home. I miss sitting in my room and learning everything I could about DOS. That was the best time I ever had with computers.

I once built, setup, and maintained about 20 computers for a Christian school for free just because I loved doing it so much.

I wish I still had that enthusiasm for tech.

theangryseal ,

God, I feel that so much. Even with my Steam deck, if it requires too much tweaking I’ll ask my kid. If she’ll do it, great. If not, I’ll find something else to do.

People burned me out so bad. Everything they did was somehow my fault. Every relative I had called me constantly about silly problems. “My whole quickbooks is deleted. I had it on my desktop and now it’s gone!” “Ok, so I copied excel from my desktop onto usb drive and it won’t open on my other computer. The icon is there but it just won’t work. Oh, well I don’t see why not! It works fine when I click it on the other one!”

One time a guy brought me his laptop to repair. I repaired it and got the $75 bucks I charged. More than a year later I got a call, “Lithen, I don’t know what you did to my laptop, but it hathen’t worked, like, for crap, thinthe you worked on it.” I said, “ok bud, I’ve worked on hundreds. Which one was yours?” I asked him to download TeamViewer, went to his control panel, seen a pile of bullshit crapware he had recently installed, told him to kiss my ass and take it to “thomeone elthe”. I shouldn’t have made fun of his lisp, but I was ready to implode from the crap at that point.

People call me now and I play dumb and act like I just haven’t kept up with the changes. I. Hate. Computers.

And I fucking hate that, because I loved them so much when I was younger. It was like exploring a whole new universe.

theangryseal ,

Oh hey, it’s just a girl.

I kinda always knew she’d end up my ex girlfriend, and that shit was bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S. Don’t speak, I know just what you’re thinking. It didn’t happen. Well. You’re right. It didn’t.

God, I wish I could stop but I just can’t.

theangryseal ,

His performance in Encino Man moved me to tears. When he wheezed the juice in that wheezing the juice scene I couldn’t breathe. The cashier had such a small role, but my god was it powerful. “No wheezing the juuuuuuh uuuuice!”

When I found out the caveman started a band I was ecstatic. Part 2 wasn’t as good as the first one, but it was still pretty good.

theangryseal ,

Two and a half minute. Haha. I do that one constantly too.

theangryseal ,

Me too, and I just suffer for it haha.

I know it’s stupid, but I just can’t give up good food. My stomach will hurt so bad it feels like I have back problems or something and I’m still not eating spaghetti without my garlic bread.

I don’t eat the good stuff constantly, most of my meals are bland. When I get a chance though I don’t pass on it.

theangryseal ,

Edit 2:
I miss spelled werds.

theangryseal ,

Zing!

I love this reply.

theangryseal ,

I’m glad no one knows me and I’m just floating around in the background like an extra. Nobody gonna try to impersonate me.

I dated a girl once back in the MySpace days and she had a couple scammers out there using her likeness to catfish people. Fortunately, MySpace would take them down when alerted. It took a minute though.

theangryseal ,

I am that dude they were complaining about. They used me as some sort of representative to attack the rest of you with.

I came really close to owning a home one time. It was just outside of this really terrible neighborhood and only cost 20k. This was in 2015. The house was small, but it had a barn, a chicken coop, a big area for horses that the neighbor was using (and I agreed to continue to let them use it if they’d teach my kids to ride the horses). A drive down the hillside led to trash and drugs. Somehow it didn’t extend up the hill yet.

Actually I know why it didn’t. In 2001 the neighborhood below it was flooded. The folks who lived there for years and kept it nice took the fema bucks and rolled out. The houses sold for 4-6k and the people who migrated over from the poorest part of West Virginia didn’t even bother repairing them. They just moved right in.

That killed the property value all around it, which was fine with me.

We were all set to close on the loan when I caught my ex cheating and my whole life caved in. Oh well, such is life.

It kind of stings to think I’d own it right now and a chance like that probably won’t ever happen again. The problems would have probably spread up that way eventually though and I’d regret moving there. That helps a bit.

theangryseal ,

Sucks don’t it?

I learned a lot about life through all that mess though.

I’d forgive her, she’d do it again. She’d say she loved me, then sit up in the bed in the middle of the night and say, “I just don’t love you anymore.” The chaos would start again. I’d go crash with my mom, she’d ask me to come back, then she’d make me leave again after a week or so. This dragged on for about 3 years. The last time I was driving her to work, leaned in to kiss her, seen a mark on her neck. I rolled out, she was fine with that. I met someone else, she lost her damn mind. Ended up being committed, finally settled down with the last guy she cheated with, was diagnosed with breast cancer and died at 33.

Fortunately for her, he is a great dude. He took care of her and stayed by her side through all of that hell. He still maintains an active role in my daughter’s life and he doesn’t have to do that. She’s there now actually. She’s been there for a couple weeks.

I learned that I have control over nothing. Every aspect of my life is one moment away from pure chaos and destruction, so I’m thankful for what I have while I have it. Nothing is promised, nothing is permanent. I find meaning and comfort in exactly this moment and I’m ok with that. When the hard times come, I will survive them until I eventually don’t. That is reality for all of us, I’m not special, and anyone who finds me special will find me special for a time. Believe it or not, I have peace.

theangryseal , (edited )

It’s crazy. She was my meaning for so long. I started seeing her when she was 14 (lied and said she was 15) and I was just about to turn 18. The final split happened when she was 30 and I was 34.

It’s funny. She told me she was moving in with me when she turned 18. She did. She packed her bags and came to stay. About 3 days in I got a call at work, “If you don’t bring my daughter home, you and your roommate are going to jail.” I stupidly replied, “Well, she’s 18 so you can kiss my ass.” Her mother was abusive as hell, or so she said. The girl couldn’t tell the truth, seriously. I learned to take everything she said with a grain of salt and loved her any way. Everywhere she went she had some big story though. Anyway, I hung up the phone and less than a minute later it rang again, “I don’t know what Miss Lie About Everything told you, but she just turned 17. Bring her home or go to jail.”

I confronted her, “I’m so sorry, I was just so into you and I knew you wouldn’t be interested if I told you the truth, and what’s one year? At this point I was too embarrassed and I didn’t know what to do. I hoped she just wouldn’t care that I was gone.” (Which is an indicator that her stories of abuse were true).

A couple months later I had forgiven her, a year later she packed her bags and came again.

Her mom and grandma showed up and tried to get her to leave. Right to my face her mom said, “He’s worthless honey. Is this the life you want?” Her grandma chimed in, “Please come home. We love you so much.”

She stayed. Nearly 15 years, not counting the time we spent close before that. I literally didn’t believe she’d ever cheat. I was special her. I meant something. I really didn’t think she’d do it.

But she did.

Somehow I’m doing better than ever despite all of that chaos. I’m with someone that I really get along with, someone who I love to go out of my way for. It’s a whole different world. I hope she never leaves, but if she does, I know I’ll make it.

Take care bud.

theangryseal ,

I want to have fuck with you.

For real though, a friend of mine recently (August) walked into a gas station and asked the girl working there if she was married. She said yes. He said, “You the type keep a man on the side?”

The next day he was in handcuffs. He’s a strange dude and he says things to women that I don’t think he should, so naturally, I doubted him.

He was charged with stalking, trespassing after being forbidden, and assault.

His lawyer managed to get the video from the store and the body cam video from the officer who responded. He brought the USB drive by a few days ago after the charges were dismissed so I could see the video. He doesn’t want his friends to think he’s a piece of shit.

I watched it. He said exactly what I said above and told her to have a good day, turned back around to say, “Good on you for being faithful. You ever get sick of him, remember me.” Was it nasty to say that? Absolutely. A crime? Absolutely not.

The body cam video was the most interesting part. The woman said, “He came in here and told me outright that he wanted to fuck me. I told him I was married and I figured that would be the end of it, just like with other creepy men. I asked him to please not come here while I’m working.” The cop interrupts, “Well that’s trespassing right there. I’ll git eem fer that too.” She continued, “Well, he had a massive erection and he stood here playing with it through his shorts. He wanted me to see it. He came over beside the counter and kind of stepped behind where I was at.” Cop interrupts again, “Ok so he actually came behind the counter?” “Not fully, but he did step back there about a step or two.” She replied. Cop says, “well ‘ats assault right there. I can charge em with that too. So did he take his penis out where you could see it? I’d like to charge him with indecent exposure too but unless you seen his penis, like, the flesh, I cain’t do that. I’m gonna git eem with stalkin’ too though.” She replied, “Well no, I didn’t see his actual penis, but he stood there rubbing it through his shorts and motioning his head for me to look at it. It was a big old boner. I was scared to death. He kept saying, “you know I can give it to you good, won’t you walk in the women’s bathroom with me.” and stuff like that. I called my husband and he came out here. When the guy came back a third time he walked in and walked right back out when he seen my husband.”

On the video he walked in, said, “Well, damn. I left my wallet at home. I’ll be right back.” Her husband said, “no, you won’t be right back. You ain’t welcome in here anymore.” He paused for a second and looked at him dumbfounded and said, “Well, alright. This ain’t the only gas station in town. Bye then.”

I watched the video from the gas station. None of it happened. Everything she said was pure fantasy. I spent from August until a few days ago thinking he was a total fucking creep. I can’t believe he was charged at all and I can’t believe the girl didn’t back out when the manager offered to get the video for the police. Oh, and the assault charge. He stepped behind the counter to reach over and grab a paper towel to clean coffee he spilled. He has been stopping there for 20 years and didn’t think it would be a problem.

She also said he didn’t pay for his coffee on the video so I’m surprised officer Doofy didn’t charge him with shoplifting too.

Us men gotta be careful. For real.

Women too, because assholes like the one she described to the officer do exist and women contend with them daily. Lying, dangerous women also exist too.

I’d be afraid to hit on a total stranger. I wouldn’t want to anyway because that’s not the type of person I am. If I were though, I’d be too afraid to do it. Every woman I’ve ever been with said something to me first. I never wanted to come off as a creep and I like women who assert themselves anyway.

Fortunately there was video and the charges were dropped.

I am gedaliyah and I approve of this message.

This is the real me. Can anyone who likes me cash app me a few dollars. I’m broke from all the child support.

Oh, also, if you like Harry Potter, I will punch you in the face if I see you. I’m warning you, you better strike first if you’re wearing a Dumbledork t-shirt.

gedaliyah, signing off. Pm me for cash app details.

theangryseal ,

When they get it down to rad sunglasses I’ll wear them everywhere.

I love my Quest headset, but I haven’t turned it on in 6 months. I don’t have time to be isolated like that without asking other people to make sacrifices for me so I can have that time.

I think the tech will be important in the future. I could be wrong, but when it shrinks down and becomes easy to remove isolation, I think people will want it.

theangryseal ,

I was under the impression they were dead and gone for about 20 years.

The tv I had 20 years ago was garbage and I assumed they were just some shitty knockoff brand. Surprises me that they own GE.

theangryseal ,

I’m on voyager now. Thank you. :)

My shortcut is still called wefwef but I know what I’m using haha, I’m just lazy.

I love the app and you made my transition from Apollo so easy. I would probably be wandering around in the dark with no content if you hadn’t pulled this off. So again, thank you.

Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off (www.ign.com)

Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off::An executive at Assassin’s Creed maker Ubisoft has said gamers will need to get “comfortable” not owning their games before video game subscriptions truly take off.

I don’t think I’ve ever hated reading anything more than that.

Good god.

theangryseal ,

It’s an oven with a stove on top. Google “cooking range”.

I’ve never called it that, but that’s the name for it.

theangryseal ,

They can’t track your every interest to sell to other assholes if you don’t use their software though.

Now, don’t you feel sorry for the poor companies who can’t make money off of you when you’re on sites completely unrelated to theirs?

It just breaks my heart.

theangryseal ,

This is about right.
