Troglodyte Puns

Pretty much what the title says.

I've recently got Retroarch and Dolphin installed on my Xbox Series S (thanks to this fella's YouTube tutorials) and I was hoping to get Rogue Leader fired up and running to relive some that childhood bliss. However, I know that this game is notoriously hard to run on even the best of devices, but it seems like it is possible for this system, (based on this video and this one) But the issue I'm running into is this: the game won't even boot for me, so I can't even tinker with the settings.

Any advice for me? Cheers all!

I was pooping in a public bathroom, playing a fantasy strategy game on my iPad. I heard someone walk in, so I quickly turned the volume off so I wouldn't awkwardly bother him with the music. Well, he sits down in the next stall and turns on some sports commentary show on his phone's speaker. So I cranked up the epic soundtrack to full volume for the remainder of my sitting. Pretty sure it was loud enough that he couldn't hear his show, or at least it was pretty distracting. Behold my fiery rage, you pathetic troglodyte!

Shut the fuck up

I work for Goldman Sachs as a helpdesk tech. I talk to people around the world and all of them... everyone from Asia to the UK, The US (minus NY) to Brazil... they are all so very nice to me as I help them through their technical problems. I rarely get berated by fellow employees of the firm, but when I do, they are ALWAYS from NY. They are so short tempered and rude. The mere fact that they're having a technical issue in the first place is enough for them to take out their anger on literally everyone around them and they always act like children throwing a temper tantrum.

What's so insufferable too is that any time I stand my ground, I will always say, "I am here to help you, I am doing X to solve your issue and know that you will not speak to me disrespectfully. While I am here to help, I will not tolerate any verbal abuse from you further." And you can already guess what their reaction is. Granted it is not every new yorker, but it's frequent enough for it to be a trend.

I cannot tell you how many times I have gotten a call from NY with an easy problem, I tell them the easy fix and start fixing it for them and the response is ALWAYS, "bUt I dOn'T hAvE TiMe FoR tHaT..." *starts to be an absolute asshole and rant about me being shit at my job* regardless of how little time it takes to implement the fix, NY'ers never have time for anything, they say. You don't have time? OK, then I won't help you and you'll just sit there with your shitty attitude with the problem still not fixed.

NY is a fucking cancer man, and any time you rightfully call it out, there's always the group of people who say, "That's just how NY's are! You don't understand, it's different out here." No, it isn't; that's just a shitty excuse that trash people from a dumpster-fire of a city use to rationalize their child-like behavior. I get so many reminders of the good in humanity as I go through life, but every time I interact with a NY'er with a minor problem on their hands, it's fucking WW3 with the nuclear reactor melting down.

I sometimes think to myself how can X dictator do X awful thing to X people; they're so inhumane! And then I remember NY'ers and instantly feel this disgust and hate for the air about the city... secretly wishing I had god-like power to send shitty NY'ers to a void where they can wait and cool down until they're ready to be a respectable member of society.

In closing I'll say this, I've read that the people with the lowest intelligence are often th

Title says it. I'm redoing my interior and will be reupholstering them anyways, so I really hate to pay $2,000 for a set of minty fresh seats. I'd much rather pay a little less and redo them myself. I've crawled Marketplace, eBay and Craigslist for weeks and only have found really clean examples, when I find any at all.

What I wish I could say, but I won’t because I refuse to break no contact.

A meme is not an apology.

“To my children: I’m sorry for the unhealed parts of me that in turn hurt you. It was never a lack of love for you. Only a lack of love for myself.”

What a slap in the face. Especially when shitty behaviour continues. A real apology is changed behaviour, and you haven’t changed a bit. You continue to disrespect my boundaries, going so far as to somehow piece together my mailing address which I never gave you, and continuously send me unsolicited text messages and ask my brothers about me.

Dad’s an asshole but at least he respected “no means no” when I told him not to contact me anymore. I was a fool to think I could maintain a relationship with you after that. I tried. For years, I tried.

I removed you from all social media. Quit tagging me in your alt right BS and slinging insults my way and calling me intolerant for refusing to listen to you. You supported dad through all of his physical and emotional abuse towards us, you abandoned us as children to visit him across the world, you stand by the family’s bigoted homophobic and transphobic ideologies and make excuses for “knee-jerk” abusive actions and even go so far as to change history. Your concern when we were kids has always been protecting yours and dad’s images as parents first, and protecting us children second.

Fuck you.

You know all this though. Hence why you sent me that stupid meme and why you keep attempting to lovebomb me.

Stop calling me “babygirl,” “baby,” or anything like it. I never liked it. I’m a grown ass woman and it’s infantilizing.

Don’t call me baby anymore.

Battlefield Beta day, is it? How exciting.
Multiplayer games are great really aren't they? You get to sit down at the end of a hard day of work, kick off your shoes, lean back to unwind, only to get messaged 5 minutes after you lose your first match about how your mother is a terrible lay.

In the spirit of togetherness, do you have a favourite gaming clip you've preserved over the years? Perhaps you'd like to share a screenshot you've taken that you're particularly proud of? Or maybe even just a picture of you setting fire to your sisters Jenga blocks because you're sick of losing?

Either way, here's your weekly gaming thread. Have at it.

You cant convince me the game is getter better in any way. AND HOLY FUCK WHY DOES IT TAKE A SEASON TO MAKE THE SMALLEST OF CHANGES

Would appreciate if anyone of you could suggest any way in which a bibliolater, weeblet, aesthete can possibly socialise.
