Almost all of them. I rarely finish a game. For a variety of reasons, all added together. The closer I get to the end, the more I want to put it off if I’m enjoying a game, so I will keep finding more and more nuanced stuff to do instead. A new game comes out and I eventually completely forget one of the 10 games I’m currently actively playing when it temporarily becomes 11, then back down to 10. My friends stop playing a game, but my character relied on them… maybe I’ll just start over with a character that can solo. Maybe that game will just go on the pile of “not today, but I’ll play it soon”, until it’s been in the pile so long that there isn’t much point anymore.

I should mention I am autistic and likely adhd but I haven’t got that diagnosed yet. So while some of this is probably normal behaviours, some of it probably isn’t too.

As a person that stumbled across this while not using boost, I can confirm my phone and client ran the linked post completely fine. My client is called sync and my phone is a Fold 4. All the images loaded instantly and stayed loaded and scrolling is 120fps smooth the whole time.

While I agree with your premise, I don’t like that your list is what came to mind when you thought of unnecessary laws. Those are some of the best laws we have. It sucks being hypersensory and trying to live a real life, and literally 25% of the population is. With hyposensory people (another 25% of the population) just acting like we are all whiners for experiencing every sense as much as 4x as strongly as they do. “No one could possibly be that annoyed by something that barely affects me, they are just too sensitive”. Well, yes. Technically that is the problem, but our sensitivity is physical and not by choice.

You know all the stories in the bible existed in other religions before yours? Just with different names and slightly different details here and there. Every religion was made up by people from slightly altered previous religions… it’s, comically enough, just another example of evolution.

All religions are about why people shouldn’t be jerks, but most of us don’t need to believe anyone is watching us to behave. Stories are helpful, but they don’t have to have any “magic” to get their point accross. Just examples of things people don’t like or do like is enough to make it a good guiding story. A god figure is superfluous and unnecessary.

Sounds like you are one of the people that benefits from thinking a god is a real thing. Most of us don’t need something like that to be nice people.

You’ve met some pretty dumb athiests then, there are much better and more common arguments than that. Keep in mind there are dumb people everywhere, if you can’t tell them apart, you don’t have the tools to do so.

I don’t argue unless I am correct. So alot of the time I am able to successfully prove it in the moment, other times they find out on their own later. If I didn’t know for sure, why would I argue? That just seems like pointless behaviour.

We can always crawl further in to hide from scary normal people, but the normal people need this type of platform too. We can just subscribe to our nerdy communities and stop browsing all or everything once there is too much stuff to browse that way anyway.

I recently got my 35 year old car appraised and despite me buying it for $3500 13 years ago and putting nearly no work into it in that time, it’s now worth $12000. Unfortunately I love the car and am unlikely to sell it. But about 1/3rd of the times I drive it, some random person will come up to me in a parking lot asking if I would ever consider selling it, so if I do it’ll probably be pretty easy to sell. The car is a mark 3 Toyota supra in white, with a modest tasteful bodykit that seems to have proven to be ahead of it’s time appearance-wise.

I know with what the entire used car market is like now, that’s not as unexpected as most of these other posts, but it was certainly unexpected to me. Someone just told me out of the blue to get it appraised, so it got me curious enough to go through with it.

Look around in real life, a full third of adult women have small breasts. It’s a totally normal thing for an adult to have small breasts. Also, it’s pretty normal for adult women to be shorter than 5’8", again a full third of adult women are shorter than that. Should these women be excluded and treated poorly for something they had no choice in? Should guys feel bad if they find that third of adult women more attractive than the ones that are going to need surgery at some point just to continue normal life? Breast size in real life and especially in fake content has gotten disturbingly out of hand.

Liking ladies that are physically fit instead of overweight is a pretty normal thing. Sure they’ll have “smaller” breasts without all the extra fat in them, but some of us find the extra fat to be gross instead of “better”. I’m glad there are people that prefer it, because those women need love too. But I like dancers, gymnasts and athletes better instead, sorry.

I would prefer to feel pain when something is supposed to be painful. The whole point of pain is to avoid doing things that are causing you damage. The reason I’m in this mess is my unnatural ability to ignore pain. Not feeling pain isn’t a solution to a problem, it’s a cause of further problems in the future.

The most important thing, no chair can solve the problem of uninterrupted sitting for 8+ hours. No matter what you spend or what materials they use. Sitting for 8+ hours will slowly do permanent damage to your body. No matter what chair you sit in, stand up occasionally, take little walks, do exercises or calisthenics or something, whatever feels right for you.

I’m Autistic and when I play videogames I can get so hyperfocused that I don’t realise the outside world has moved forward a whole day. Until something physically interrupts my gameplay. So I set timers now, and I strictly obey them. Nothing short of surgery will ever heal my tailbone issue, but I can at least prevent it from getting worse.

I also have a standing desk, so I will swap it between standing and sitting every 2 hours if I don’t want to take breaks. And I have a VR headset for using my computer from different chairs; a recliner, a kitchen chair, anything different from my computer chair. I also use the VR headset for most of my non-computer gaming. It has become my current console gaming platform.

VR games are a great way to spend 8+ hours uninterrupted in a game without causing body problems, lol. Plus, if it’s mixed reality, you can still do real life stuff while playing, like walking over and getting a glass of water or talking to and interacting with the other people in the room. In full Virtual reality it’s still a good idea to have timers set, just as a check-in, if you have been standing still in the game, your knees could need some exercise, if you are hungry or thirsty or have to go to the bathroom… you know, the kinds of things you might not notice while the game is running, hehe.

The age at which you are no longer living with them, they are living with you.

People are much more willing to forgive Apple of that mistake than they are of google. Could you imagine if google was first to market with something that ended up being associated with stalking and every Android phone by default was in on it? Apple had a hard enough time weathering it.

I’m also still on liftoff, and I really like it. I guess I’ll have to try each of the ones listed here, but definitely gonna also keep liftoff in case the dev manages to find the time to catch back up at some point.

Natural eyebrows and hairline. Actually most body hair on females is nowhere near as bad as my “culture” treats it. The few things I might happen to agree with are far outweighed by her feeling more comfortable in her own body. I understand special cases like PCOS and stuff like that, but for the most part in my opinion, most women are encouraged to go too far with hair removal.

I miss Canadian mountain dew. It was just the pop, no caffeine. Turns out caffeine doesn’t taste very good. I mean you would assume that, but it really hit home when the pop I loved all of a sudden added it. Wish they continued to offer a caffeine free version. But I know in the states the caffeine is like their whole marketing thing.

Sometimes… no all times, I wish I also couldn’t taste Bitter 2. Unfortunately when you carbonate water, that is literally the only flavour it has. And it has alot of it. It’s one of the most disgusting flavours to people that can taste it, and completely non-existent to everyone else.

Personally a “softer” root beer is generally my go-to.

I used to really like Canadian mountain dew before they were able to sell US mountain dew here and abandoned the Canadian one. It was so much better without caffeine. But that’s their whole gimmick. Except it sold totally fine in Canada without it.

When the marketing department is more important to a company than the customer support. Rather than actually help the customers, they just make sure customer support never says anything bad about their products. Including the problems they have/had in the patch notes.

“These are too many fixes, listing them all will make us look bad.”
