Re: Little things that annoy the hell out of you
Funny thing with these threatening e-mails, they always end up in your spam folder. So if they did have any videos of you, sending those out to your employer or friends would also end up in their spam folders.

Speaking of spammy COVID emails, I've been getting a lot of poorly written ones from "paypal" lately. "Dear sir due to COVID-19 the paypal family need you sign in when now. CLICK LINK TO SIGN IN".

I fear the thread has gotten too nice, Burinju. This is Little Annoyed Hell, a garbage incinerator of long-held repute! You should be exhorting drauch-sama to hire some mercs and seek out the Prince of Nigeria and his fathomless riches, so he can DDT that scamming fucker onto a steel chair before making off with the cash!
A Wakaliwood dramatisation:
Stardate: My Big Frickin Dong. Fatty McFatFat Carl of Swindon (self-dubbed "Sargon of Akkad") little annoys me. He can speak articulately on issues his government cowers away from, like England's infamous child rape gangs (obfuscated by the press as "Asian" or "Muslim" with no regard for said demographics, despite being consistently traceable to rural corners of Pakistan - like calling Yardie gangsters "West Indians"). He's also an arrogant buffoon who jovially mooted raping a female rival while running for office, weathering the public's revulsion with the grace of a man shitting violently after just a wee dram of polonium. This nous then saw him pick a nonsensical fight with beloved internet roadrunner Jimmy "IRA in USA" Metokur, who obligingly savaged Carlton's anus and integrity alike, the portly coyote fruitlessly pulling every trick in his much-decried SJW Playbook™.
Good job, Carl. The public think you're irredeemable scum. A chunk of your erstwhile online base considers you a faithless cunt. And children forsaken by their country, who could benefit from your work, may instead be even more SOL with your antics attached to their plight. This must be high-level strategy, just like Daddy Trump.
On balance, the effect is like the village idiot having the only flashlight during a blackout caused by willfully incompetent public works. I am a detached observer of all this, at most, but pathos tends to sneak up on me, like when I see a not-untalented speaker, willing to discuss politically unpalatable issues, afflicted by an uncontrollable urge to publically shit his pants.

Re: Little things that annoy the hell out of you
The motorcycle segment and Afterburner/Space Harrier segments in Bayonetta are truly awful. Not only do have to button mash to fire at high speeds all throughout them, but the camera is awful in them. An embarrassment to Sega, who having made Outrun 2/2SP should know better how to position a camera in a racing game.
The motorcycle segment has the camera positioned behind the rather tall Bayonetta, in such a way that it's actually hard to see what's directly in front of you, instead of moving the camera up a bit to avoid this issue.
The Afterburner/Space Harrier style segment is even worse. The player ship is absolutely gargantuan in size making it basically impossible to accurately see anything directly in front. You pretty much have to get a "feel" for the stage, and if you dodge the entire screen rotates suddenly. It's not the end of the world for me but it will absolutely mess up anyone prone to motion sickness (thankfully with good mashing or a rapid fire controller, you don't really need to use the dodge).

Re: Little things that annoy the hell out of you
Ugh, are all mobile OSes so user-unfriendly, or is it just that Android is the worst of them?
Re: Little things that annoy the hell out of you
I absolutely love the flavor of the schadenfreude.
Android is a terrible and bloated mess, isn't it?
It's also the 24/7 spy you never ever asked for. Want to turn that off? You'll have to cripple the OS in the process.
Open source with optional blobs, you say? lmao! (You're kidding, right?) The tradeoffs make the OS practically unusable. You'd be better off just building directly on top of Linux.
Want patches and updates? Buy a new device!
Project Treble is pure lip service and vaporware.
Although, Android never was great mobile OS when it was simple. Like the Hiptop platform before it, it arrived full of memory leaks that crashed an "always on" device once every 10-14 days. It also trapped devs behind a silly fork of Java. That wasn't good enough to release in the first place.

Re: Little things that annoy the hell out of you
I wasted several hours trying to figure out why DOSBox kept stuttering. Nothing had changed configuration-wise... but it seems like some combination of a new monitor/video drivers caused DOSBox to be extremely unstable and experience constant hiccups in games if cycles=max (i.e. run as fast as possible). Was having an odd issue where the videos between stages in SideLine would grind to a halt after a few seconds.
Turns out just making sure DOSBox only runs at a fixed set of cycles is the way to go now (36000 seems good for SideLine, too fast and it stutters).

Re: Little things that annoy the hell out of you
Using mainline DOSBox is just asking for trouble vs DOSBox-X anyway.
PCem is overkill in a few situations [nothing like actually dealing with old PC configuration issues], but it's sure as hell useful.
mainline DOSBox a: doesn't really care about accuracy and b: hasn't cared to release anything more than basic bugfixes in a decade [I thought I was joking when I typed this, then I looked it up and it was close, 9 years] despite there actually being development on the source

Re: Little things that annoy the hell out of you
Just thought of another one: people who watch the Star Wars movies in "chronological order".
Has there ever been an instance of a writer releasing a prequel to a previous work and telling people to experience it first? Or is it all just fan wankery by people who pride themselves on remembering that X takes place before Y? How many prequel works even exist that don't give away massive spoilers if read or seen first?

I cannot for the life of me understand why such unbalanced notions are considered enlightened and their need to attack constantly. To all intents and purposes it is more akin to massive oppression.

Well, that's not surprising. Shockingly, being that overweight is not good for you at all. Of course, lawd forbid you not pat ultra fatties on the back. Because then according to most of twitter, you would be "fat shaming" and shaming anyone is bad. You must be positive about EVERYTHING and enable gross people.BIL wrote:I think this guy may be the worst hefty toilet boi in history.

Re: Little things that annoy the hell out of you
I actually use the ''click-down-on-mousewheel'' control in CAD and GIS programs for panning it's a hair quicker than reaching for a tandem of keystroke+left mouse click. When you do that 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, it starts to add up and becomes worth it.

Re: Little things that annoy the hell out of you
I do use programs where it's pretty handy myself, but even the chance of misclicking and scrolling the wheel instead is something that makes it feel like bad hardware design.
