contractors showdown is either total bullshit or just has the lowest time to kill ever. how is it that i can shoot someone in the dick 3 times with an M14 and they keep running, but i get dusted once with an SMG and i'm down? how the fuck does that even make sense

my PC is such a fucking beast that it's acting like a space heater. when i'm standing in front of it to play a game, i can feel the hot air being blown through the front side radiator. it's good, because heat in my room is heat that's not on the CPU/GPU, but god damn does it suck to deal with in an already hot room.

update: it's partly fuckass healing mechanics and weird shooting

spoiler: it's not anymore, and only dubiously was when konosuba s1 was aired

"voluntold" to work? guess how i know this is retail

the fact that kyocera is just a manufacturing conglomerate like GE always surprises me. it's like "oh, these guys make my lathe inserts", and then it's a Fucking Camera or phone or some shit with kyocera on it

the 1980s into very early 90s were the last time people could understand consumer electronics down to the silicon.

a lot of shit was analog still: enough that it was accessible. most components were still through-hole mounted, SMDs hadn't really come to the forefront yet, and with the exception of desktop computers most everything was magnetic media and wires.

now... not so much. i just think it's interesting that we have people returning to things like polaroids and fujifilm cameras, new production cassette players, and landline phones now. it's still pretty niche, yes, but it's increasing in popularity.

we can hope that we start going back in time a little bit. if R&D had continued on consumer grade magnetic media, what could have happened? how about just plain old physical media? even relatively advanced things like CD players are and were nigh bulletproof, except for the CDs themselves. how about electronics that are user serviceable for once? the EU has made a big step in the right direction by mandating replaceable batteries, because that's the wear component on most phones and devices now. maybe we'll get old-style chunky bigass boards back with parts that can be diagnosed and fixed.

this is me (if u care)
