TweakUAC solved that problem.

What annoys you about the ladders? To this day, I find them among the easiest video game ladders to use. No stupid button prompts; just hold W. To go down one, just face it backwards and press S. Simple, genius design.

Meh, you just needed a discrete GPU, and not even a good one either. Just a basic, bare-bones card with 128MB of VRAM and pixel shader 2.0 support would have sufficed, but sadly most users didn’t even have that back in 06-08.

It was mostly the consumer’s fault for buying cheap garbage laptops with trash-tier iGPUs in them, and the manufacturer’s for slapping a “compatible with Vista” sticker on them and pushing those shitboxes on consumers. If you had a half-decent $700-800 PC then, Vista ran like a dream.

I’m honestly surprised it’s taking this long. I was expecting same-day justice, delivered straight to his face.

Like the others have said, use Voyager to filter out the instances and communities you don’t want to see.

Imgur if you want memes, cats, and politics, but keep in mind that they’re not much better than reddit. No 3rd party apps, and the official app has ads & sells your data to Facebook. You can block it by using the DDG app and enabling App Tracking Protection, however. Also setting your phone’s DNS server to dns.adguard-dns.com. You should be doing those two things anyway, regardless of what apps you do or don’t use.

Besides this place, I also use Imgur and YouTube to help fill in the void after leaving reddit. I’m considering joining Bluesky and Mastodon as well but I’ve never used a Twitter-like interface before so it’s intimidating.

Unfortunately I still haven’t found a suitable replacement for niche communities. There’s always forums, but I got too used to points-based communities, and because comments are sorted chronologically, it’s hard to know what’s crap and what’s actual useful information. Which can suck if you need a good opinion on something. 20-30 years ago that wouldn’t have even bothered me, cause forums were the only social media I knew then. But times have changed.

CoD mobile is good… when played in an Android emulator on PC. It’s basically CoD: Greatest Hits, and it’s way better than Black Ops 6 (or any console/PC CoD, for that matter). All the best maps from the old games are there. Takes me back to the days of MW1 & 2 on the XBOX 360.

The only issues is that it takes some tweaking and the right emulator (Gameloop) to get a steady 120+ FPS, and it can take dozens of matches before game starts pairing you with other mouse and keyboard players (instead of just bots or controller/touchscreen users), but once you’ve established your rank, it becomes ton of fun cause you’re not just destroying everyone you match against. It becomes a legit challenge.

Unfortunately none of them have any fast respawn servers. By the time the cooldown period ends, the war is already over.

Hilarious, but if they actually assumed that then they would allow you to put different toppings on each half of the sub.

What do I use then? I’m already addicted to Oxymetazoline (Afrin) and I need a way out. I’ve tried Propylhexedrine (Benzedrex) but it works for all of 30 seconds before I’m congested again. Even quitting cold turkey didn’t work. I went an entire year without any nasal spray, suffered through the rebound congestion for over a month and was in the clear for awhile… Until the congestion came back. I don’t know what to do.

Belirge me, brother, I’m trying. I’m not there yet but one day hope I will find my people. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you my friend. I really appreciate your words of encouragement. ❤️❤️❤️

That was my dad’s favorite quote. Funny you mentioned it. It means a lot to me, even if it was a coincidence. Thank you ❤️❤️

❤️ I won’t because of wonderful people like you. Much love and hopefully we gsn get past these dark days as a whole. ❤️

I feel for you. Thank you for the encouragement. I don’t know what the future holds but at least we’re not alone in this struggle. ❤️

I have a girlfriend and family and yet I’m still considering ending it all. Someone please bring me strength. My entire family is either against me or apathetic and I just can’t take it anymore. I’ve struggled with depression all my life but between losing my job recently and seeing these election results, I think I’ve reached my breaking point.

No sleep will come my way tonight, either. I plan on continuing to drink and smoke until I pass out but I’m only going to regret this tomorrow once the hangover kicks in and brings me to an even lower low. I don’t know what else to do, though. I’m surrounded by fucking idiots who obviously didn’t realize just exactly what was at stake for the future of not only the county, but the whole god damn planet.

I know I’m screaming into the void here but like so many other of us, I need to fucking vent. Either help me or ignore this comnent; nothing matters anymore.

Edit: you have no idea how of an impact you’ve just made with your words. These are dark times but we’ve all been through worse. Thank you for the hope, and here’s to a scary and uncertain future. 🎉😭

I’m surprised cause Arizona has been getting small bits of rain here and there almost every week, and it literally never rains here ever.

They said “filthy-rich anti-capitalist”, which implies sarcasm.

What’s more amazing is that no one is saying “is America ready for a woman president?” this time around, like they were in 2016. It’s refreshing, but also sad that it took this long.

Never fucking mind. At this point I decide whether suicide or applying for a green card is the easier option.
