Mostly on my Lemmygrad and Hexbear accounts. But still like Lemmy.ml and the people on here. Not a liberal, conservative, or a fucking fascist! The masses need to wake up and see how much we have been and continue to be lied to by those that want us to stay dumb and hating each other!

  • Not really things that I can use less. But I really hate when companies that are already fully saturated (or basically have monopolies) really push ads for their shit. Example being shit like Spectrum. While there are now more options in my area for internet (AT&T did start laying fiber in my area like last summer), it really just seems like all the money put into the marketing departments could be saved. Same goes for AAA games.

    We keep seeing how all the major fucking companies keep purging staff or dev studios they bought do to sales “not meeting expectations.” But it seems like they should be cutting marketing first. Every “gamer” I know is already aware that something was announced with a release date via YT trailers and gaming outlets that were already going to cover it. So pushing so many more millions of dollars into shit really just looks like wasted money.


  • Same. I initially decided to try it to see if it was even close to as good taste wise as it is advertised. Also because it is gluten-free and might be something my dad might like since he had to switch to GF. But none of the four boxes really came close to being similar to what they would replace. And the price (that they make such a point about being “affordable”) was like two or three times more expensive than better options we did find.

    It really reminds me that basically everything that is called “affordable” on most social media is really pushed to tech-bro/massive city areas. Which $7~9 might be “affordable” if in super high cost of living cities. Just like how most of the “hot” tech things or trends tend to act like other places are just as “modern.” Most small towns/rural areas are always like a decade behind on things. Which makes it beyond difficult to help regular people with basically everything tech-wise at my job. Which I won’t make my already long reply even longer by ranting more.


  • How hot does it get under load of stuff like Cyberpunk or similar programs? I am always jazzed to see high-end laptops, but I am aware of heat being a given. We get a lot of normies (or gamers that dip their toes into PC gaming) that have more money than sense just demanding the most powerful laptop. And they bring them in for us to check-out due to how hot they get. Some of it comes down to them not knowing how to stop all the programs from starting up with it and causing it to heat up from the jump even before launching a game or whatever. lol
