I am Zach, AKA AceFuzzLord, AKA Dizzy Devil Ducky!
My bank app does the same and will most likely log me out if I end up switching to a different app. I don’t mind because I’d rather have that happen than have a stranger come up, steal my phone while unlocked, and be able to access my bank details (no matter how unlikely that scenario is).
To see the chaos, definitely some place like yt. Imagine you are watching an hour long video essay about something you love but you have to keep interacting with the website/app in some way that disrupts the video every 5 or so minutes or else you get locked out and require 2FA every time.
I imagine after a long enough time, the lazy people would just quit going and using their service all together. I know I would.
Sometime in maybe 2021-22 I messed up something on a shitty laptop of mine at the time. Changed something on win10 and was trying to fix it to get admin privileges back on the single account on there. Some website recommended flashing Ubuntu onto a thumb drive and entering some commands on the live boot. Didn’t work out and I didn’t wanna go through with a fresh win10 install for close to, if not, $100 for everything. Ended up with Ubuntu 20.04 installed because I wanted to use that laptop.
I’ve since tried many and currently have MX on a better laptop. At some point I’m gonna try to either find something new I can learn so that way by October I can make my desktop have a priority Linux boot with an internet disconnected win10 partition, or just go with Mint or MX. Definitely got a small list of distros I might wanna try, so we’ll see.
Steam Deck’s touchpad so “too awkward”…
The Steam Deck touchpads are literally the ONLY modern touchpads I like. Every other mother touchpad is absolutely atrocious because they don’t give you anything like a vibration to tell you your mouse is moving and you actually get some level of confirmation you clicked. It feels like every other touchpad out there now, I swear, requires you to attempt to click on the left/right mouse button (completely integrated into the touchpad) about a billion times before it registers that you clicked once.
Also, if the joycons for switch 2 are anywhere near as uncomfortable to hold for extended periods of time like they are for me with regular switch, I guarantee my hand would start hurting after a couple minutes of the, probably gonna be as responsive as a dead man to a cannonball to the face, mouse mode. The premise of turning what could be one of the worst controller designs I’ve ever seen into a mouse makes my hands bleed in pain without having to ever hold one.
So far, as a more casual user, using the preconfigured Plasma on MX, I have had only minor grievances that truly effect me and only somehow only broke it maybe 1-2 times.
Jam Hsiao because I really like his energy and his music. Only major hurdle would be the language barrier between, if we don’t include the nervous energy I’d most likely radiate.
Closest I’ve come is recently getting a random call and then the majority of the robocall voicemail is garbled garbage
Had to look that one up, and it brought back memories of seeing ads for that specific one being used to advertise Webtoons.
The ads definitely made it seem like it was supposed to be read in app so they could do panels with a little animation in some panels here and there, so if that’s how they’re meant to be viewed, that would 100% be awkward for a physical adaptation.
I’ve read plenty of manga, so I’m more familiar with them and how I feel is definitely dependent on the writing and art style. Bakuman (from the creators of Death Note)? Love it for the art style and story. I also love how it shows you how the mangaka industry works to a degree, from the standpoint of close to 2 decades ago now at least. Currently don’t have a manga series in my collection I don’t like, so can’t say anything about one I dislike currently.
I have not read any manwha besides a series I have the first 2 books of called Zero/Six. I don’t really care for the whole webtoons thing since I’d rather collect a physical copy of a series for something of similar style to a manga.
Side note: I have reservations about continuing to read Zero/Six considering I just looked at volume 1 to confirm something and I was right when thinking I remembered Hitler being in the book. He’s literally the main characters German teacher and within the first page we see him he’s literally called Hitler (looks exactly like him too) and does a Nazi salute after beating a students ass with a wooden stick(?). I get the book was originally published in the 90s and translated in the mid-2000s, but that’s definitely a pretty big red flag for me on an otherwise pretty good series.
Almost every single show I watch. I’m weird in that I almost never can skip a TV show intro. Only exception I can think of right now is the short continuation of Batman the Animated Series they did just before Batman Beyond since they didn’t change the intro to match the show.
The only reason I know they exist is because Sonic Adventures 2 trivia videos. That, and I’ve seen them while playing SA2, but those are very hazy memories from when I was maybe 5-6 years old.
Sonic The Hedgehog (Sonic '06) is an absolute gem of a game in its original buggy mess form it released in. The bugs and frustration they cause only add onto the charm.
Also, the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (not SatAM) cartoon is just as good, if not slightly better, than SatAM due to the absolutely goofy atmosphere. Some of the jokes in Adventures were great. Absolutely loved the joke on Sloww Going where they had Tails writing down whatever Sonic said they needed to rebuild a house for a family of sloths and when Sonic goes to look back at what he wrote, it’s nonsense and Tails has to remind Sonic that he’s only 4½ years old and doesn’t know how to write yet.
Saw a video pop up in the incognito mode thing for yt about Tails being a savage and I found a comment that absolutely resonates with why I absolutely LOVE that version of Tails as well and why he’s the best version of tails ever. They were saying how his personality really makes him feel like a little kid without a filter. Absolutely the best Tails ever, so I 100% agree with that comment.
Don’t know if it would count since it’s used in a couple levels, I think, but PVZ Reflourished, Caliginous Carnival. The levels where you essentially have to pay attention to the zombies beneath the hats and guess which is the weaker one in order to make the spawns easier to deal with. Rinse and repeat multiple rounds until you win. Would absolutely love to see that done more.
Also, along the lines of PVZ, iZombie is definitely up there for my favorite minigame in the series and in general. It absolutely sucks both versions of PVZ2 killed it (unless I’m wrong and the Chinese version still has the old PVP mode, but even then wasn’t nearly as fun as the original minigame, nor anywhere near as balanced when half the time you’d find other players had level 4/5 plants that instantly destroy everything in 0.001 nanoseconds).
I don’t remember what it was, but it certainly wasn’t a firecracker. I don’t know where exactly my parents used to get them, but they used to get illegal fireworks (illegal in our state) by crossing over state lines, if I remember correctly. Neither me nor my parents remember what he set off, but it definitely wasn’t something wimpy like a firecracker.
Edit:
We lived in an area where you had more strict rulings on what is a legal firework to have and shoot off, so we definitely had some stuff that was definitely quite a bit stronger than what we could get in state.
Dangerous then and especially now, but my oldest brother lit off a firework in our backyard, right near or around when school was getting out. We lived a couple blocks away from an elementary school. It was loud enough that the school thought someone was shooting.
This was mid-late 2000s. I imagine if he did it today, the police would have absolutely arrested him without a second thought.
The one thing that has really kept me far away from the 3D animated Nezha movies is how, to me, Nezha looks like an ugly gremlin. I personally enjoy their look in the Legend of Hei movie and the 非人哉 (fei ren zai/non-human) web comic/donghua so more.
Be prepared to grab your pitchforks and torches! We storm against Goliath as dawn!
All jokes aside, would absolutely love it if a bunch of Sintendo “fans” all stormed the courtroom in support of them to give them to hopefully lower their brand reputation. Not just this potential case, but literally every single time they go to court anywhere.
I mean, take away all but 1 white piece and give it a shotgun and you might have a fun rougelite on your hand.
There was a small amount of thought put into it, but my official refurbished Steam Deck. Fairly impulsive of me to have gotten it. Love it.
Also, if you look at the majority of the stuffed animals in my room besides a couple, they’re kinda impulse buys and a couple of them have been amazing because I can just cuddle with them while watching videos on my phone in bed or hug them when I’m excited or stressed or bored or whatever I’m feeling. They make for great companions for me.
If it isn’t able to federate to other servers and/or services, like kbin to lemmy and such, without 3rd party tools like the bluesky bridge thingamajig, absolutely not.
