Compulsory customer service for a couple years might make retail customers less miserable to deal with overall.

I can’t give up my Stream Deck plugins. I don’t trust that that Linux port thing supports all the plugins I use.

Thank you for giving me 3 huge reasons not to switch, cause I’ve been a bit tempted lately.

And the default of chili, mustard, and onions is pretty un-fuck-with-able. If I wind up going to get my hair cut tomorrow, I could go for a couple double dogs on my way out.

I didn’t ignore it, but I did have to put up with it for months:

Discord would just never recognize that my PC was being left idle, so I would never get notifications on my phone, which constantly left me gaslighting myself into thinking my friends were ignoring me, or just didn’t have any reason to message me all day.

I contacted Discord support at least once over it, and they couldn’t do anything to help me figure it out, since I had all my settings set properly to have it switch over to mobile notifications after 1 minute of inactivity.

After a shit ton of googling, I found out that certain devices, namely third-party xbox controllers, could cause a PC to never actually go idle, and then I found a tool to help me check if my PC is idle, started unplugging things one-by-one, and found out that my 8bitdo Arcade controller was the thing keeping my PC from going idle.

The issue popped up with an etsy-bought Guitar Hero controller further down the line as well, but thankfully by then I knew how to troubleshoot the issue. Bonus points, my new fighting game controllers don’t have this problem.

Literally the only annoyance I had with it initially was that I preferred my taskbar at the top of the screen, and you can’t move it, at least not without janky registry hacks, on Windows 11.

I’ve since gotten over it, because for me and the vast majority of people, it’s functionally identical in almost all cases.

The only other thing I can think of that’s still a rare annoyance is that sometimes, completely at random, Windows Explorer, if you’ve just left a window open in the background for a while, will just rip focus from whatever other thing you were doing.

Yes, they’re trying to shoehorn their copilot AI thing into the UX, but that was so easy to disable and forget that I refuse to call it a real problem, myself.

Killer Instinct-generated.

If they want a third option, I usually recommend Brother, and even more I tend to recommend used/refurbished. We just don’t carry those in my store.

God, the amount of times I’ve had to explain the EcoTank vs HP math to customers in my store, and then STILL have them pick an HP is fucking baffling.

Also for the love of god, don’t be sticking anything in places it could get lost without a flared base to keep at least part of it outside.

It’s currently free on YouTube (or at least it is for premium users).

Christfire would’ve gone hard.

I use a metal straw with a silicon bendy bit on the end, and it’s not like I throw away the bendy part.

I know for sure that Sonic and Knuckles was the very first game I played, or at least that I formed a memory of playing. I also had this handheld Radica Junior Bass Fishing game. And then I think I got to play Cruisin’ USA at somebody’s house and they had a full steering wheel setup for it.

“swims” can be rotated 180 degrees and still say swims. It’s an ambigram. “pod” would be another.

One of the (thankfully) only times I saw one of these fuckers it was on my ceiling above my desk. I left early for school that day.

Specifically 64, yes.
