Time is not a flat circle, but an endless spiral. We’ve come back around to Dogpile

Sometimes during!

Startpage FTW

I’m figuring this movie is gonna bring the Fantastic Four and probably also the X-Men into the MCU. It seemed clear to me that Kang was meant to do that before.

Thanks has also been beaten by Squirrel Girl, to be fair

2 movies and a TV version on Agents of SHIELD

This is a relatively recent trend, and it tends to be for anime where the premise isn’t obvious before you watch it. In other words, it’s typically to avoid spoilers. See, for example, Oshi No Ko, which bundled its first 3 episodes together and saved the OP reveal for the end in order to set up its premise.

I’ve been using the same 10+ year old 128G SSD for transcoding, cache, and metadata storage for like 6 years now across multiple tiny servers (as I’ve upgraded) with limited RAM. My current one has 16G of RAM, which is more than enough for JF, but not enough to store a whole movie transcode, let alone multiple at once. Refycled small old SSDs are a lot cheaper and easier to come by than RAM these days, that’s all I’m saying. No hate of course, your setup makes sense for what you have, I’m just saying my way is cheaper and more than fast enough for people just building their servers now.

tmpfs is overkill. I just use a crappy old 128G SSD and it’s still way faster than needed for all of my transcodes combined.

Anyway just my 2 cents.

The course is not the point, it’s a question of how on earth you edge out an advantage against 36+ other drivers in virtually identical cars who are also trying to out plan and out drive you.

I’m not even a NASCAR fan, but this criticism is dumb, sorry.

Are still significantly slower than NASCAR pit stops, and even if you could get them that fast, you’d also need to make the pit stops more frequently because you’d run out of charge faster than wearing down your tires at those speeds.

Is chess a pointless sport because everyone starts with the same pieces in the same positions every game?

No extradition

I really like the design of the Dodge Charger EV, but the super loud speaker blasting fake engine sounds is dumb (yeah I know you can turn it off, but ew) and the thing is notoriously unreliable.

Anyhow yeah, my Kona EV looks like a non-EV Kona. People mostly only notice that cars are electric when they’re a wacky design or charging in public.

Dawn of the dead was alright, but the original was much better

By making an ass of yourself rather than contributing in any meaningful way to the discussion

If you’re a child, you probably shouldn’t be on Piefed unspervised to begin with. I’m not here to babysit you.

My guy, if you’re so steamed that you’ve got to resort to name calling and bad faith arguments, maybe just take a breath. Like I said, getting mad and pissing your pants in public isn’t gonna win you any respect from anyone.

Nice job totally ignoring my point btw. There’s no qualifications needed to question anything

How the fuck does a hadouken qualify under any of the categories I mentioned? How do you sound so ignorant every time you type anything?

Hadouken is an attack in a fighting game, you listed learning how to play fighting games? Have you not heard of Street Fighter or am I missing something?

I don’t give a fuck about you or what you stand for, but you go around being condescending to people for no fucking reason, I’ll call you out for being ignorant and arrogant. Welcome to open forum discussions.

Oh sorry, did I hurt your feelings? Too bad ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Literally everything you said so far in this discussion beams with ignorance. Not really sure how you still have the confidence to make judgment or hand out condescending, unsolicited advice. Next time you see a topic you clearly don’t care about, consider not butting in, or don’t complain when you get called out.

If I’m so ignorant, enlighten me: what games are meaningfully enhanced by achievements specifically?

To be clear, I’m not complaining. If anything you’re providing me with my entertainment for the day. I’ve been online way too long to be bothered by randos with an argument consisting solely of cussing me out like I kicked their puppy lmao

You’re qualified to pidgeonhole everyone else’s game preference based on whether they care about achievements, but I’m the arrogant, ignorant one?

“Qualified to question”?

Bro I got bad news for you, even the smallest child is qualified to question anything. If you get angry and start pissing your pants instead of giving a good answer, nobody will respect you, but you might scare a small child away from their natural curiosity.

I’ve been playing video games of every genre (as I already said, good job reading my comment before angrily ranting that someone doesn’t care about a thing you like), including fighting games and shmups for decades. I have yet to meet a single person who needed to earn an achievement in order to learn how to perform a hadouken.

Seriously dude, you just came in here all immediately butt-hurt because I exist and don’t agree with you? They’re games.

If you need a trophy for playing, you might not actually be having much fun. I don’t understand an attitude like that hurts you so deeply, but for what it’s worth I’m sorry and do hope your day gets better.

Hey bud, I play the games I feel like playing the way I feel like playing them at that time. I’m talking about optimizing for fun instead of letting a game hand me a list of chores to do on my weekend. That’s a personal preference and all I did was express mine.

The specific games in question aren’t really relevant are they? I’ve played thousands of video games over the last 30ish years, but I’m not a completionist. I just try to have fun.

Also, me expressing my personal philosophy = “holier than fucking thou”? Man, grow up.
