When you're trying to kill someone in an online game nor land a single hit on them because they're using their grandma's dial-up modem.
[QUOTE=BelatedGamer;53066126]I'm so so so sick of asking questions like "Hey I really like X but I'm having a problem, does anyone have any advice?" and getting a dozen responses back that are basically "Why are you using X when you could be using Z? Z is better."
Well that's not the question I asked, jackass, if I wanted to use Z I would be asking questions about it instead.[/QUOTE]
It's like when I see people asking questions about an issue they're having with an Apple product, someone goes 'Apple is shit, just use Windows/Android' or vise versa. Yes, because the other product you recommended won't have any sort of issue whatsoever.

"Uh yeah, the solution is to spend $700 and extra time setting up the device. That should fix all of your problems :^)"
It's like the worst solution you can give to a simple problem.

Bonus points when one of their laggy stone aged bullets hits your foot but you die instantly.

On a similar note, when a fighting game handles bad connections by making the game unbearably slow.
I've mainly had to put up with this in BlazBlue and Smash 4.
GGPO rollback code needs to be more widely adopted, at least for fighting games.
I was [I]this[/I] close to buying a Roland FP-30, I've been considering one for months now and I finally said fuck it and decided to bite the bullet (They're $1200CAD)
I get to the store and they've sold out reee
Websites with those chat dialog boxes that automatically popup where someone connects to you and it's all like "Anything I can help you with?"
Nah man, I'm literally looking at my solution why are you so redundant, if I wanted to talk to you I'd fucking ask.

I hate how easy it is to politicize everything, even if it has nothing to do with politics.
I think news companies and media companies deliberately try to invoke this to defend things that are just shitty or build outrage over something that doesn't need it.
For instance, Ghostbusters 2016. They fucking milked that all female thing to de-legitimize everyone who saw the movie for what it was. Don't like it? You must be a sexist asshole. Must be an alt righter!! Must be a pathetic sexless loser that hates women!!! And they built a loyal fanbase of people who hadn't even seen the film yet because at that point it was more about politics and liking the movie was the leftist thing to do.
People jumped down James Rolfe's fucking throat for simply refusing to see the film because he didn't like the trailer. And then it came out and, surprise surprise, it was fucking trash and it had nothing to do with them being women.
Kinda shit happens all the time and it drives me insane. We want to paint this youtuber as an alt right neo nazi, so let's just take the fact that he makes videos about dank memes and subtly imply that dank memes make you a 4chan alt righter. Don't like games journalism as it is? Oh, you must be an alt righter. Have any sense of crude humor? You're a nazi. Like, just, ugh. People eat that shit up too.
When employment related websites ask you to use their built-in profile makers when an OpenOffice resume should do the job just fine.

This but the other way around. I hate how the internet goes nuts everytime there is a female in a remake or takes over a role previously inhabited by a man. For example Ghostbusters 2016 was immediately disregarded as leftist and feminist propaganda, and it had already lost before it opened. Another example is that the next Doctor Who is going to be female, which already has sent the anti-SJW crowd nuts. Or Wolfenstein II which is suddenly political I guess? Wonder Woman, e.t.c. Everything that involves a woman [I]has[/I] to be politics apparently if you ask the internet.
My computer keyboard stops working, so i go buy a new one. Now the old one is kinda starting to work again.
Don't really regret buying a new one though.
[QUOTE=xZippy;53063393]Writers of TV shows/movies not understanding how video games work. For example, you see someone playing Goldeneye, but you also hear sound effects from like 6 different games and the player is spazzing on the controller like he did a bucket of coke. Then he hits the reset button on the N64 [i]just[/i] to restart [i]one mission[/i] and the game magically instantly restarts right back to gameplay. Okay.[/QUOTE]
Here's an example:

God I always hated that about movies and shows, maybe if they were playing Mortal Kombat or something where you don't know any combo's, but not fucking Mario Kart.
And people think no one will notice the stupid, inaccuracy of those scenes. Good job, David Chase. If only he knew how a reset button really works. =/

* Never
Read some devblogs for a Kickstarter I backed and they were like "so we're delaying the alpha release by a few months to replace all of the market assets with custom-made ones and adding a whole bunch more content because that's what the Kickstarter money is allowing us to do" and the comments are filled with people whining, being condescending, and going "I want a refund because I'm too impatient to deal with a three month wait for a game that won't be finished for years anyway >:("
Like chill the fuck out. If you can't handle something as small as a delay when they're consistently putting out updates on what they're doing maybe you shouldn't be allowed on Kickstarter.

Also I've been downloading a 4 GB update for Dark Souls 3 on PS4 for 20 minutes now, and there's still 10 to go. This would take me two minutes on Steam, and that's fucking unacceptable.
:snip:
I think I got fucking ripped off by an Etsy order lol
Well I was dropped from one of my classes because no one dropped from the class roster and I was stuck on the waitlist. I SIGNED UP MONTHS BEFORE THE SEMESTER OPENINGS SO WHAT THE FUCK?! I'm still getting my AA degree, but I needed that class for the level design course at the university I'm going in the fall.
[QUOTE=Berman Slick;53070187]People who call the PlayStation (PS, PS1) the PSX. It's not the fucking PSX. The PSX is a fucking DVR with a PS2 in it. You've had 15 years to call it a PS1 since the PSX came out, so if you still call it a PSX then there's truly no hope for you[/QUOTE]
Isn't the name PSOne?

I've always called it [i]THE[/i] Playstation. PSX sounds weird to me.
[quote="google"]
Why do people call ps1 PSX?
Before it launched the console was code named PlayStation X. The gaming media called it PSX, and even though the X was dropped the name stuck, especially online, where people would rather say PSX than spell out "PlayStation." The 90s were big on abbreviations (LMAO, for instance, and GCN for GameCube).
There was also no PS2 yet, so it wasn't called PS1 until PS2 started coming out.[/quote]
My alt account on Xbox (which I use daily, almost more so than my main) has the most bittersweet gamertag and I can't bring myself to change it.
It's my ex and I's song basically (corny rofl) and honestly it feels terrible, but I also enjoy the song itself, as much as the lyrics etc remind me of her. It also gets good reactions when people figure out they just called me Honey :v:
This one is more about getting so scared that it made me furious after. So story time.
Back when I was in I think 9th grade in high school, one of our field trips were to Wien. On the last day we had the whole afternoon in the Prater, which is this probably the biggest amusement park in Central Europe (oldest too).
So me and about 15 other gung-ho guys and girls set out to ride every attraction that matters. None of us was particularly terrified by anything, hell we rode some [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G51onkR2M5U"]rougher ones[/URL] multiple times.
But the Boomerang.
That damned Boomerang.

It didn't seem bad at first. Train comes down, does a half roll, resets back with another half roll (this is called a cobra roll), does a loop, then stops and does all this in reverse.
So we jump in, me and a friend get in the first car like the blissful idiots we were. And guess what:
[t]http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/files/46b9ed0c6e337a9c_206.jpg[/t]
All you get is that small lapbar that doesn't even come down all the way to your lap. No shoulder bars.
On a rollercoaster that does a double-inversion.
So during my first cobra roll my ass suddenly became detached from the seat and my whole body started moving upwards, out the train.
And I'm panicking like "oh shit now its all gonna happen in reverse and if I don't hold on to the lapbar with all my force I'm gonna fucking fall out"
And yes during the reverse my body slid out even more substantially, but I didn't fly out like I envisioned a few seconds ago.
We get out of the train scared shitless and I'm thinking like this must have only happened with us, but then I hear my classmates a few seats back exclaiming "DUDE THAT WAS NOT FUCKING COOL".
This coaster type is apparently very popular but afaik only this particular one has lapbar only trains. I'm not saying its unsafe (well no one fell out yet), but damn it really does make you feel like it is.
tl;dr: Twisting coaster doesn't have shoulder bars, feeling of imminent death slightly offset the fun
Printers have got to be one of the most annoying pieces of technology in existence, they break so easily and are a major pain in the dick to fix if broken, somehow I managed to fix mine after an hour of troubleshooting though, out of shear luck.

story about how it only has lap bars[/QUOTE]
This kinda of coaster should have lap and shoulder restraints imo
regardless, it looks really fun
