Before Pride went to work today, he was lurking B&N's manga section to search for next manga to consider and he found [he aint saying this manga's name]. Its name and cover flailed how much of an LGBTfest it is Pride was curious and gave a 5 page sample read because he optimistically expected to be pleasantly surprised He was not ...

There are a lot of financial channels on YT and Pride had some spare money. He got suckered into falling for the investment hype and bought silver and stocks It was a mistake He estimates he dropped about $2,000 on this stuff and now they're worth $1,490.26 ...

Think about it Esports is a business and businesses need money. 1 tournament runner & streamer streams at a horse racing venue that's in poorasfuck town and the place is so much worse than their previous venue, in Pride's opinion. He went there once and never wants to go back there again. But also they're like 50 miles away from his house anyways. Still, they are a really famous local tournament & stream team. He'd rather go to a tournament that's closer and in a better venue. They only food ...

1st, there's this famous tweet https://twitter.com/OXY_Crimson/status/1093056785705922560 " ...

Think about it What better way is there to tell esports gamers "this is the shit you want" than to show the pros on stage using the same equipment? What do gamers even think when they see a mere logo on screen taking up space? "WTF is this shit? Clutter? WTF do they even sell?" ...

This is just a theory craft from intuition and observation only. Pride never did any statistical research to test his theory Esports devs are too afraid of making anything too good so they just make everything equally bad and boring Older esports games are broken as fuck. Halo 1's pistol kills in 3 HSs (Head Shot) which takes less than 1 second. Halo 2 nerfed its main gun, the battle rifle, to kill in 11 bullets, or 4 3-bullet bursts. Then Halo 3 further nerfed it by changing the bullet sp...

1 thing quarantine taught Pride is to stop having material possessions. He has a long history of buying shit because he has a replenishing source of money called a job which made him not care about how much money he has because he'll always regenerate more. He also has a history of giving/throwing shit away because he ends up not needing those things anymore "Less is more" is a stupid phrase because of its blatant contradiction. Maybe "less is better" communicates the idea better. Minimalism ...

Pride isn't gonna put in the effort to actually test anything. These ideas are just on his mind right now Playing Smash Melee on Dolphin emulator is so painfully laggy. Melee is way too sensitive to lag for him to tolerate even if it's as little as 1 frame. He's tried it before on a gaming monitor used at EVO tournaments, aka "The EVO monitor" and at native resolution, it has 8.3 ms of lag. Upscaling the Wii's 480p resolution to 1080p makes monitors have to process the smaller image and up sc...

Once pollen season 100% ends, Pride's gonna practice some archery while listening to anime dubs so he can multitask looking at screens less (hopefully improving eye sight) and listening to fun stories But also, social media is fake because everyone fakes themselves into making the best presentable versions of themselves for attention and approval. The internet connects people from far away, but those connections will always be severely limited. Everything seen is through a screen and everythi...

Crunchyroll struck down a 60 frames/second conversion of an anime OP that's been on an alternate channel of mine for like a year Could they be polite enough to just block the video instead of being strike addicted? Probably half of every strike I've ever received was from Crunchyroll I know clip uploading is in a gray area and I set myself a 2 minute clip because I think that's a fair length without getting too close to stealing territory. I hate when shows get worldwide copyright blocked ...

Anecdotal stories time, yay! So 1 time I was in the mall in line at Panda Express and a woman approached me asking if I could pay for her meal because she has 2 kids to feed. I just automatically gave her $1 without a thought. But then she asked for more. So then I just awkwardly stared at her and noticed a significant detail around her neck that only then struck my attention like a nail. She was wearing a pearl necklace! Even if it's fake, you can't pretend to look rich while asking for mone...

The only games played during this time frame were Melee, the best Smash, and Brawl, the worst. Times were great because the scenes were 100% community run. Smash never had sponsors during these years. There were no rules. *****s would say "***" or "****" in half of every sentence they ever said. There were no filters, PR, clout, or any of that shit. Brawl vs Melee internet fights broke out every time both games were mentioned in the same discussion. Melee vs Sult fights hardly even exist compare...
