Some mechanics are just subjectively annoying, especially in PvE. Enemies healing themselves is one. Enemies stunning the player is another. In MY amazing dev company we would have none of that.

Born to earn pistach. Forced to touch purple.

I would be more interested in a budget-camera option if it meant price reduction and no bump. If that were also the one not solely marketed in the hands of 22-year-old fashionistas, all the better.

I’m glad you had progress! Notice I’m not the one who originally wrote about actually having a “shutdown”. My comment is about how someone’s choice of words can sabotage their point, depending on the listener’s situation. It is not encouragement to avoid challenging things.

It seems like you think I’m the same person as the one with the “shutdown”. I’m a different person, pointing out clues to how your phrasing was sabotaging your own point. Now you’re just being demeaning – so I won’t continue.

When you’re talking to someone who’s expressing a great deal of anxiety (“emergency shutdown”), phrases like “it’s not that hard” and “it’s obvious” become “if you struggle with this, you’re an idiot”.

Razer is great at covering the exact feature-set I want in a product. Fell for it with the Viper Ultimate and got a creaky, grainy button feel and a rubber coating that quickly wore down and felt slimy. Then I bit the bullet with the Barracuda headset, which went straight back. The thing was bulky, hollow, creaky, flimsy, had coil whine, lost audio after idling… I keep telling myself to not fall for it, and then I’m in the market for something, and some Razer product just seems to tick the boxes. NEVER AGAIN!(?)

That is indeed the joke.

I don’t get the caption…?

Hmm… put down my gun or wait 10+ years for a planet-sized bullet to destroy Earth.

If that’s the worst part you’re having a goddamn amazing time.

Taxonomists will be the first to tell you the field itself isn’t an exact science. I think some people find that to be more exiting.

Real is the stuff outside of your phone.

Why is “ios” the only one not in all-caps?

iOS begins with a lower-case ‘i’, making this error more frequent.

Why does the apple hq list their mobile system while the other two list their desktop/workstation/server systems?

Apple’s most iconic product is the iPhone, but the meme compares software. So the ‘Apple’-item then becomes iOS.

Why does each get a different proportion of the screen/why aren’t they equally sized/why are they not stacked vertically?

The rule of three applies to jokes and typically dictates that the punchline is third and given extra emphasis. The layout reflects that tradition.

Why is this man not using dark mode, and how is the obvious and glaring light bleed at the bottom-left of his monitor just get accepted?

From what I’ve seen, Linus Thorvalds uses default work environments and doesn’t care much about hardware beyond functionality.

Anyone who’s given it a good run and want to share?

First of all, his ‘authority’ (expertise) was specifically being called into question.

Second, appealing to authority isn’t fallacious when the authority is genuine and relevant.

It is not fallacious to reason that a math champion is likely better than the average person at math, or that a psychologist is likely better than the average person at understanding the psyche.

And it is not fallacious to argue that a former minister of trade ‘knows what they are talking about’ when they are talking about tariffs.

It doesn’t automatically prove them right, either. But again, that does not make the argument itself fallacious.

I’ve been thinking our ‘oiliness’ might be one of our most striking characteristics. If I wipe a finger over any smooth surface, I leave residue. Our exteriors are incredibly greasy compared to most technology.
