[QUOTE=Lufttygger306;38009573] I know, but I needed some quick examples And it does look [I]sort[/I] of pixel-y when I look at it[/QUOTE] SMB is a pretty shitty example [IMG]http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2010/12/SuperMeatBoy-boss.jpg[/IMG] How about Fez, Retro City Rampage, and (lol) McPixel. Oh, you mentioned some others in a post above (only saw it just now)

Whole bunch of examples with this rant. Heh. [QUOTE=<Name redacted>] Im quite suprised how many replies I'm seeing of people actually taking these things apart, they're just not worth it.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=<Name redacted>]Still, why the fuck would you ever try to take a power supply apart? That's absurd.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=<Name redacted>]Opening a PSU is retarded, especially if you don't know what you are doing. There are 5 whole worlds between sticking some RAM in and servicing electrical devices. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=<Name Redacted>]I think the article was trying to convey that he took apart the PSU itself, which isn't something you should do in the first place[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=<Name Redacted>]No fucking shit you shouldn't dig around in the inner parts of a Power Supply. That's like stripping a car battery, but with less acid involved.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=<Name Redacted>]Do they mean "disconnect the PSU" or actually "disassemble the PSU itself"? Like, opening it up and starting to remove parts from the inside? If its the latter, then all is explained. Kid had to be an idiot. Even actual professionals are scared shitless of messing with the interior of PSUs.[/QUOTE] [quote]But his death underscores the dangers of working on computers if you aren't trained to do so. Police stressed this should be left to the professionals. Shawnee police said too many don't realize that computers carry a charge in them even when they are unplugged and broken. They urge everyone not to strip an old computer to build a new one.[/quote] This drives me fucking nuts. Modern society is so 'throwaway' that simple shit that any sane person with two working hands should be capable of doing is "Not recommended". Fuck off with that shit, society. Idunno, maybe I'm biased. I did grow up in a household full of DIY goodness, where "Repair, not replace" was preached to me literally since the day I was old enough to understand it. As such I grew up with a wrench in one hand and a screwdriver in the other, and I was never afraid to use either. Still aren't. But I honestly see no valid reason people should never fix anything. It isn't difficult to repair most failures in household equipment, and the education required to do so safely is so hilariously easy to get it's a wonder they don't teach it to third graders. I can understand not fixing your TV if the display panel itself is fubar. 9 times out of 10 those are 80% of the price of a new set, so there's no real point in buying a new panel for a TV that lost a fight with a WiiMote. But get this: Most TVs break because a fuse inside the thing lets go. Replacing this fuse costs a few bucks and a couple hours of time, and it isn't difficult to replace it without electrocuting yourself. Fix some shit, people! Don't just throw it away and buy a new one. You're wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars over your lifetime doing this! Learn how stuff works, learn how to service it safely, and service it!

[QUOTE=TestECull;38009914]Whole bunch of examples with this rant. Heh.[/QUOTE] They didn't say that you should never repair a tv or wiimote, they were specifically talking about power supply units. A PSU isn't exactly safe to take apart, y'know?

[QUOTE=ILY;38010023]They didn't say that you should never repair a tv or wiimote, they were specifically talking about power supply units. A PSU isn't exactly safe to take apart, y'know?[/QUOTE] Except it is. Learning what parts are dangerous and how to render them safer than a six month old kitten takes all of five minutes on google. I pop the lid off of mine pretty regularly. Every 9-12 months. I do this to A: clean it thoroughly, and B: to inspect/replace as necessary the cooling fan. I've been doing this for six years now. I haven't even been mildly shocked, let alone put in any danger, because I took five minutes to educate myself on what parts could harm me and how to neutralize that danger before I ever took one apart. It's gotten so bad that people won't even change their own flat tires anymore. People won't do anything for themselves, they just pay someone else an exorbitant fee to do it for them. It drives me nuts, people will throw away a fortune on paying someone else to do simple shit they can do on their own inside of five minutes.

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;38009279]While he wasn't really being a [I]huge[/I] asshole, I don't think my stepfather has a firm grasp on how to treat guests.

She's able to do chores as well, isn't she?"

It was fun until we realized that he had just tricked us into clearing his yard.

[QUOTE=ILY;38010568]Where the hell do you live[/QUOTE] The land of the lazy, apparently. I've lost count of how many times I've seen a car on the side of the road, tire flat, spare tire and equipment leaning on the door, and the helpless little whelp of a driver on the phone to AAA. I've seen it countless times. If my lazy arse can change a flat tire on the side of the interstate surely a fit mid-30s guy can do so as well. Come on now, people.

My dad just yelled at me for apparently "using the computer all the time" even though I've hardly even used it most of the time. [quote]Dad: Where are you going with that computer? Me: I was just gonna use it in the living room-- Dad: FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK, MARCOS! ALL YOU EVER DO IS USE THAT FUCKING THING OVER AND OVER AND OVER! DO YOU EVER DO ANYTHING FUCKING DIFFERENT?! Me: Dad, I've hardly even used the computer. Besides, why don't you bother Lazaro about this? He's the one who's been using it the most. Dad: IT DOESN'T MATTER! NONE OF YOU SHOULD BE FUCKING USING IT ABKLJDSKLASDKOPL--[/quote] And then he just goes off downstairs while mumbling to himself. Why am I always to blame for these things? God damnit...

It's like coming from Alex's step dad. Man, That sucks. Hope he knows that he's being a cock.

I went to the comedy show to miss a good proportion of school. All was good until I open my lunch bag, only to see a ham sandwich, an apple, and a water bottle. I ORDERED CHOCOLATE MILK. I DID NOT ORDER HAM SANDWICH.

Ham sandwiches are the shit, What you talkin' about man?

Does anyone have any methods of forcing yourself to go to sleep faster? I've had it with spending 30% of the night awake trying to sleep. I just have way too much shit going around in my head and it's really starting to affect my sleeping badly.

When ever any sort of fictional military force that is repeatedly said to be extremely well trained uses tactics that are dumb as fuck.

[QUOTE=99% More Fail;38013653]Does anyone have any methods of forcing yourself to go to sleep faster? I've had it with spending 30% of the night awake trying to sleep. I just have way too much shit going around in my head and it's really starting to affect my sleeping badly.[/QUOTE] Before I start, a quick fact: the average person takes 7 minutes to fall asleep (unless that's changed, I learned that a while ago but records are being broken all the time so it's probably gone down) I also have trouble getting to sleep, I think it's because I don't do anything during the day my body isn't tired at night. I also don't know what position I fall asleep in because I always fall asleep before I can find out. So, ways that have helped me: There's an album you can find on the internet called Harmony & Balance-Relaxation Music-Deep Sleep This isn't one of the songs on that album but I just listened to it and it's really relaxing: [video=youtube;gCwh_MHmlrw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCwh_MHmlrw[/video] Anyway, there's a track on there called "tranquil dreams" which I can't find on youtube. I have never heard the end of it because I conditioned myself to fall asleep whenever I hear it (it's the last song in the album so I must have fallen asleep during it a couple of times). Sometimes I listen to podcasts on my ipod speakers, this only works when I'm really tired though. I've heard that if you try tensing and untensing each part of your body starting with your toes and working your way up you can fall asleep, but it didn't work for me. There's counting backwards from a thousand and restarting whenever you make a mistake, but I sort of count out loud in my head so it doesn't work for me You can also focus on your toes. I'm not sure if that works or not, never tried it. Perhaps doing more during the day will help, tire yourself out.

So I've gained back the ability to eat, but apparently I haven't gained back the interest. [I]Nothing[/I] sounds appealing to me at all.
