I am Glitch Daracova, the breachforged cyberdragon, an immortal god to which age has no meaning. Fear me and despair. If you’re lost, consult my lore (hyperlink missing). My pronouns are Maj/Majs—short for ‘majestic,’ regal and divine, as in “Maj rules majs kingdom.”
All fuckin day, and the box never arrives.
“delayed in transit” my ass.
Randomly shows up a week later, if at all.
Why the fuck am I still paying for amazon prime? I used to get everything next day even if it came from china. (i know why, it’s because it’s an annual subscription and I want to cancel just before it renews but I can’t ever remember what month that is so fuck me I’ve Bee wanting to cancel this shitty service for years now asdfghjkl)
Except that’s the logo that was on my underpants when I was a kid.
Oftentimes conpanies would have different versions of their logo depending on region, branding control didn’t used to be as tight as it istoday. This explains most Mandela Effect phenomena.
which is why nsfw is a spectrum, not a binary. Not that anyone around here would have experience with that kind of argument, right?
(yes, this is 196, everyone here knows the struggle of explaining that something is a spectrum not a binary)
1920x1080@60hz is good enough. 120hz is nice, but not that important. What’s important is a good art direction. Not graphics, art. And as we know, the people making decisions at big companies hate art.
dovetails in construction lumber. This makes me happy.
Warframe, so both awesome and fucked.
And then sone idiot hits clear 5 times and turns the lock back on, and before you can get to it and undo it it’s already broken
Some do, some don’t. Implementation is inconsistent. I’ve seen one that autolocks after a few minutes of inactivity and requires a code to unlock (default 1234).
The breakroom at my job has gone through a lot of microwaves in the past year because my coworkers can’t figure out how to open the microwave and just rip the handle off.
You can’t do this with new microwaves. Child lock, you have to clear the time before you can open it. Yes, you have to clear it even if the time runs completely out.
At least this one makes sense.
Not likely, that would be actually useful functionality
The Death Adder was objectively a damn fine mouse. So why do I not recommend it? Because of the software that requires an online account to change settings.
Also, if I wanted “artisanal keycaps” I’d go on etsy and buy from actual artists.
and they could easily do that by paying content creators. Say, matching the ad revenue and sponsorship value of each video. But they won’t.
Honestly, my own, but it would depend heavily on exactly where.
In the city of Dragonwatch on New Earth, humans, chimera, and xenos live together in something resembling the modern world but cooler. There’s public transit and healthcare that actually work. Augmetics are common, but not required. Nobody uses the terms ‘cis’ or ‘trans’ because changing your gender just isn’t a big deal. And because I’m writing smut, there’s plenty of opportunities for vigorous entertainment.
Also, no cell service. I’m bringing back phone booths. If you want a network connection outside your house, you go to a terminal and plug your slate into the network. None of this instant communication that’s ruining fiction these days.
I haven’t actually written much, and I’m committed to do the actual writing part without ai, and it’s going very slowly (was really proud of doing 15k words in two weeks and since then I’ve done 100 words in six months). I do use ai for compiling my notes and exploring ideas, and for other uses outside this project. That’s going to be an automatic no from some people and I respect that. If it helps, 99% of the major character and locations and other important details I had established before generative ai was a thing. I’ve been dicking around with this setting since 2001, and have only started using ai a couple years ago.
Anyway, external validation helps the creative process, if my setting sounds interesting I’d love suggestions for communities where I can post chapters when I eventually have something worth sharing.
not a clue but I’m glad I caught it before it gets removed for being off topic!
More like I keep hearing about incidents and it blows my mind every time because being so douchy doesn’t normally occur to me.
same way musk made a shitton of money with hyperloop: by getting other people to pay for it and then not actually do it.
utterly unstoppable.
And if you don’t want to read 200 books that each have less than that many pages, I’d recommend the Elemist Chronicles, probably my favorite book in that setting and much more substantial than mainline series books.
