I ordered a 15ft USB cable that is power only. Unfortunately, I got the wrong kind of bend, so I'll need to return it. BUT. Testing looks good.
- The unit does warn me that it isn't an authorized power cable. Not sure if I can disable that.
- The power to the USB ports turns off about 5-10 seconds after I close the door.
- The power to the USB ports turn ON when I open the door, or maybe when I unlock the car. Still testing.
- End result -- I'll check the footage timestamps, but I'm fairly certain the camera is off when the car is off. Yay!
Why play Street Fighter 5 when you know that Oko 1UG will just turn them into a puny elk?
Earlier I got vraska, oko, and a dreadhorde out while one of those guys that gets bigger when I make tokens was on the board.
Dreadhorde make token, I get a counter. Oko make food! I get a counter. Vraska eat food, I gain health and draw card.
I managed to win via vraska's ult because I had just such a massive card advantage and was able to keep churning out tokens with my drawn cards. It was great.
Our order fulfillment company shit the bed, like "fired their entire leadership staff" shit the bed, and our orders haven't been going out as a result. It's a clusterfuck and we have no short term option to do anything about it (we even offered to send people to their warehouse and ship the damn things ourselves). The worst part, though, is that our CS people have to deal with the fallout here and emotional abuse from customers when there's nothing they can possibly do about it.

So, like, treat CS people good, alright?
If the CS people would just forward their calls to the order fulfillment company, we wouldn't be having any problems.
I'm almost positive they wouldn't pick up the phones.
These guys are terrible, I'm pretty sure our CEO is looking at how we can ditch them ASAP.

credeiki it's really not that hard to be decent at fighting games. The execution aspect is tough but it doesn't take years and years or anything. People who get into a local scene go from "how do I do a hadoken" to semifinal placements within a year sometimes.
They're not significantly more difficult than any other competitive real-time game.
What if you did not grow up at a console and struggle a little bit with controllers instead of kbam?
What if you are someone who has practiced a different game assiduously for 5 years and are still terrible at it???
(...I lost 3 games of LoL last night just as I’m trying so hard to push to plat and it’s making me so sad)
LoL is different because it's a team game. It's harder to improve, it's harder to be consistent because your performance depends on others, and it's easy to get rolled by circumstance (stacked enemy teams, one person drops or afks, etc), IMO
also you're obviously not "bad," just because you're not in platinum
I grew up using controllers, but I never used fight sticks and hated them. Then my buddy who was really into Street Fighter convinced me to make the switch to a stick, and I adapted to it over a few months before exceeding my previous ability with a controller. It's just about consistent practice rather than skills embedded from childhood, genuinely.
If you get in a lobby with someone better than you in a fighting game, and just play ten matches, you'll leave having noticeably improved. It's great.
I once played almost a hundred matches in a row with Bizazedo from SE++, just grinding mirror matches, and I think it was like 90 to 6 by the end. He just crushed me. But the next day I annihilated everyone I met in ranked and it was wonderful.
Gold is low elo—it’s def bad. And considering how much investment and effort and thought I put in, it’s just depressing sometimes. (...I will be happy if I cross that line into plat. I did before but only during the time in between ranked seasons when no one is tryharding, so it doesn’t count)
Yeah, the shorter matchups and more focused skill set seem great for building skill in a fighting game; I think that’s part of what makes it seem cool. But the real issue is that I would have to stop playing league and get good at this instead, and I don’t want to do that. (The secondary issue is the controller thing.)
Eep my meeting is in three minutes and I’m still in the metro station and not at the office!

Well fuck. turns out the authorized cable thing is because my USB ports aren't delivering 2A, so they are complaining about being plugged into a 1A port. I swear, by the time I'm done I am going to need to get the power wiring kit...
Also apparently finding the left-handed bend version of the cable I just bought isn't as easy...

I do often wonder how much money I could make by being an angry YouTube man. I mean, I know a lot of people think that way, but I sometimes consider selling my soul in favor of wealth for the doomsday prepper secretly inside of me

Selling your soul ends up being surprisingly underwhelming unless you're really lucky or have rich parents.

Every time I play cards it just gets hit by removal
Solution: do not play any cards
I'm worried about this because previous footage shown (from.... comicon?) was really low frames of animation and it was jarring to watch.

Yes, let’s go with this
It’s not good either
...want to play some Jhin/karma some time? I do best with aggressive/constant poke lanes—been having issues with Janna supports and with thresh/shen who are misjudging all ins.
I wish I could set it so certain websites counted as productivity and all others counted as a waste of time.
As it is, internet browsers being counted as only one thing just makes it useless.

Yesss what time are you home
Most of the time, all you really need are photos of the immediate aftermath of the accident
But people rarely take them, despite having a camera device on their person
It's fun to capture the idiocy of others too.

I've figured out what the hardest thing is.
The hardest thing is trying to get yourself removed from work email lists that you no longer should be on.
