  • On a dating app. Bumble or Plenty of Fish or Coffee Meets Bagel. I no longer remember.

    I had just finished college and had proof and confidence that I had shed my desperation and insecurities. I was excited to date. Had intentions of dating a lot, sleeping around, finding a cool, low commitment consistent FWB or something.

    I was set to be a menace and enjoy my heaux phase.

    Tinder was full of bots, so I tried a few different apps, meta few girls, but hadn't really hit it off with anyone. I knew I liked weird/off kilter/nerdy girls. That much was certain.

    So when I saw her tagline, which specifically asked for facts about a certain, semi obscure animal, I (excuse the pun) pounced And that was the greatest mistake I ever made.

    She was a weirdo, to be sure. But like, a cool one. Self-confident. Curvy. With similar cultural experiences as me and a lot of similar interests and tastes. And I like the way she thought about things. She felt the same way.

    After our second date I didn't wanna talk to other women. I didn't wanna play the field or sleep around or build a ho-tation. I just wanted her I wanted her to like me, to think about me, to want me too.

    We've been married for 6 years now. She's still a lil goofy. Still very charming, very curious, and chubby curvy, and the person I most wanna hangout with on any given day.

  • No worries; you asked a genuine question and got a genuine answer haha.. My wife is awesome and the best partner i could ever ask for, so I'm ahead of the game in that regard

  • It's the NSFW Content. TBH.

    The artists who draw the art/topics/proportions I'm into, and the IRL models with those proportions, don't exist on Mastodon. If they do I haven't found them. So Twitter still gets my horny clicks cause that content doesn't exist elsewhere.

  • I've encountered no fewer than 3 different thread sizes rank for motherboard and M.2 standoffs, so i would start with a thread gauge, as small as possible, that at least includes M3, M4, #6-32, and #4-40 since those are the most common ones in my experience

  • It's tragic because those were two hyped New IPs that both staggered out of the gate and are unlikely to get sequels

  • I'll figure out which is better between windows 11 and 12 and then move to that

  • Street Fighter 6

    Guilty Gear Strive

    Vampire Survivors

  • I bet you have some hella interesting workplace stories and hella banal, mundane ones

  • I think this is the correct answer. Everyone should be able to find components that fit their use case. If that means no window panel, no lights, just business? That's great.

    If that means a pink, red, white, or blue case with lights like a 4th of July show? that's fine too.

    Thank you for your reasonable answer.

  • I'm glad they make LED parts for me and non LED parts for you. I'm personally very happy that so many components offer customizable lighting these days. At least for my desktop haha

  • It's partially because of my use case (My gaming PC occupies a very obvious position in living/hosting/social room and is also the central device that feeds the two TVs there) and partially my personality, but LED lighting is fun and i go out of my way to pick components that have it if the price hike is reasonable.

    Syncing all the lights together into a pattern i choose is fun.

  • That's fascinating. I figured Lemmy users would basically self select as the exact kind of people who dislike decorative elements and these comments suggest i was mostly right.

    Why is keyboard RGB only ok during Christmas?

    I'm not here to convince anyone how cool LEDs are but i do like hearing other opinions.

  • I use signalrgb.com for this exact purpose. You add your devices to a single "canvas" and pick a pattern to play across that canvas and all your parts light up to match that pattern. Libes, swirls, waves, falling leaves, thunder, fire, etc.

    It's amazing and i love it and it has great compatibility

    Let's get personal: How much RGB lighting is enough

  • Yeah a friend bought a RX 6600 and has had nothing but glowing reviews. MLB, 2K, Tekken, BG3

  • Thank you!

    I wouldn't buy a 1070 for more than $100 in the US, let alone a 1060. There are a few 1660s around me near the $100 mark, and due to the pervasive Nvidia tax, much stronger AMD GPUs like the 5600 XT and 5700 can be had for under 140 even when the Nvidia equivalents (2060, 2070) are going for 200

  • Unfortunately we've reached the era where a 1070 can no longer hit 60 fps on 1080p max settings for several games. It's more or less a 1080p Medium settings card

    If i can find one for under $90 I'll certainly consider it for this build. I'm not gonna use it. This is strictly for selling/giving away

  • Nah that's exactly what i was looking for. Recommendations. I.listened to the album all the way thru and bounced off, so i figured I'd ask a fan next time i saw one.

    Good looking out.

  • It's tough finding a question inconsequential enough to avoid raising their defenses but meaningful enough to elicit a real, useful response

    • "What is your biggest pet peeve that other people do?"
    • "How would your friends/coworkers/SO describe you?"
    • "What are you excited for?"
