Omega_Jimes@lemmy.cato PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•PC Case Maker Hyte Halts Shipments to US Due to Trump's TariffsEnglish0·16 days agoDude no one is going to pay to bring over a case that was $129 last week, and put it on the shelf for $200, with a line item.
Just moving product costs money, and the margins for small producers are under 10% already.
Man, remember when popes lasted longer than my computer upgrades?
Pepperidge Farms remembers.
My tap and die set sit on a shelf, my lathe is in the shop. I’ve dropped my hammer from 150 feet because the tether broke and the most upsetting part was climbing the ladder down and back up.
It depends on whether you view it as a lathe or a hammer. My nice computer is at home, my computer that I sit in the park under a tree and code on, then set it on the grass while it compiles is in my bag.
So I started going to University recently, and the amount of people I’ve had actively chastise me for how I treat my laptop has been shocking.
This is a tool to get things done, it’s not some precious gem, I bought a cheap laptop with the expectation that it’s going to get gross and crusty and I’ll have to hose it down once a year, I’m going to wing it around and drop it and clean the screen with my sleeve.
How many seconds you’re prepared to wait for Windows to shutdown.

Omega_Jimes@lemmy.cato PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•'People like to hate EA, I don't know why': Split Fiction's Josef Fares says he has a good relationship with his publisher, but 'nobody believes' himEnglish0·2 months agoI watched a lot of my favorite game creators get pushed out when EA bought their studios and fired them all. EA also pushed for and lobby for the legality of lootboxes and microtransactions in games, using predatory tactics to prey on vulnerable people. There’s a guy in the fricking camp of dragon age origins who links to the store to buy dlc. They routinely lay off developers just before earnings calls to boost numbers. When I bought The Sims 2, they changed the terms of sale three months after and stopped offering downloads and voided my license when they moved from EA Downloader, their response was for me to purchase the game again. They’ve been assured multiple times for violating labor laws. They violated anti trust laws in enforcing exclusivity of college basketball players likeness, though they were sued over that as well.
I have a lot of reasons not to support EA

I’m glad they have a good relationship but I don’t know how long it can last. EA is like Dracula, the dinner spread may be nice, but after dinner you have to look out.

Though the primary server is old enough that it was from a time when I named everything after Transformers, so it’s Shockwave.
Melissa McCarthy does that for me. It’s getting better, but for the longest time I’d see an interview with her about some project and she’s funny, charming, intelligent, and convinces me to check it out. Then I would watch the thing and it’s like “Haha fat girl poopoo fart.” .
