Based.
The use of ‘literally’ as hyperbole is fine.
The sentences “I laughed so much I died” and “I laughed so much I literally died” mean exactly the same thing, but only one of them will have people respond with tHeN hOw ArE yOu TaLkInG tO mE iF yOu’Re DeAd?
Jewellery is actually spelled with the extra syllable outside of the US.
A kilobyte is 1024 bytes. Yes, I know “kilo” means 1000 - I don’t care since it’s obvious from context.
Back in the day, using base-10 prefixes for base-2 stuff was considered fine. 1024 is close enough to 1000, after all. It only changed when some dickhead realised that, by insisting that a kilobyte (and the bigger units) was 1000 bytes, they could sell you less hard drive space without lowering the number on the box.
If you don’t believe me, look at your RAM. Nobody’s ever sold RAM by the “gibibyte”.

The worst part is, in Super Mario 3D Land, at least, if you even see the invincible leaf, it locks you out of getting all the stars on your save file. The game doesn’t even have the courtesy to tell you.
It’s really annoying when you’re dying to instant death pits so changing the difficulty wouldn’t help, though. I’m looking at you, God of War.

Games•Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency?English
31·2 months agoUnless it’s an HD one, there’s no input buffer so it’s impossible for a CRT to have more than a frame of input lag. And the console needs a frame to notice your input anyway.

19·2 months agoThere are only a few reasons I can surmise that this would be the case:
CRTs don’t add any input lag
There’s no extra latency from being connected to the internet
There’s no latency from bluetooth/wireless on the controller
Because most older games are extremely badly optimised by today’s standards. The original Metroid slows to an absolute crawl when there’s more than about 4 sprites on the screen; the dragon boss in Mega Man (2, I think) was such a laggy, slippery mess that I gave up trying to beat the game; Ocarina of Time runs at 20FPS (worse if you’re in a PAL territory like I am), and that’s one of the better playing N64 games.
I think you’re either noticing one of these extra sources of delay, or you’re blinded by nostalgia.

I mean, it’s certainly better if they’re dipped properly, but each individual LED is still far too bright.
A scooter with a ring of single LEDs on it drove past me once - I guess they were some sort of cosmetic thing - and they were still dazzlingly bright in full daylight.
LED headlights are godawful astigmatism or no. Whoever invented them should be made to stare directly into the sun for the rest of time.

News•GOP senator who said trans people put girls at "risk" just helped a relative who raped a 13-year-old - LGBTQ NationEnglish
16·3 months agoAnybody who shits on trans people “for the children” or “for the women” should be viewed with suspicion.
They’re saying that because the only reason they can fathom that people would transition is to assault women and children. The fact that that’s where their mind goes says much more about them than about trans people.
“The threat of actual, literal death is the only way we can coerce people into working.”


You literally don’t understand hyperbole.
