Why I Don't Play Videogames Online

SquidCap says...

Thanks for the info, i've been admin on various game servers so i have no trouble letting banhammer swing but the kid was crying at the end, thought it was a bit too much. But if he really did ambush people and slaughter them, this was definitely needed intervention. One can't escape responsibility of their actions, even online.

HammerU said:

The kid was spamming forums inviting people to play with them. When they showed up he would trap them so they can't get out killing them and taking all their stuff. The disturbing part was he was taking their heads and hanging them on his wall as we see in the fifty second mark. When the admin started destroying his chests they were also full of other player's heads.

I'd award him a 10

I know i'm been pedantic but isn't that a gurney? In coffin, you move feet first, in a gurney you roll with head first.. intead of a half a flip, it needs to be half a twist.

The Backwards Brain Bicycle

SquidCap says...

Would not even try this, i've rode a bike for 35 years, never used a car so it's my only method of transport and needless to say, i'm pretty good at it, really a second nature since i ride more than i walk... I already often think when going downhill what would happen if my brain messed up and started thinking backwards... Steering with your hands crossed, you only need to do it couple of times before you come into same conclusion as this video. I'll rather have the wiring i desperately need than mess with it.

Pull my finger! Scientists solve knuckle-cracking riddle

SquidCap says...

I got one of those joints too, i can crack each joint in my hands and 5 on both of my feet, without a lot of force. Wait for 15 minutes and most of the joints crack again. My back cracks too.

So, some smartass went and reinvented the wheel ...

Also, this thing deforms each spring as it rotates. Some of this movement is turned in to heat, that is a netloss of energy that can be avoided with simple up-down traditional spring system that only generates heat when the body of the vehicle moves in relations with the tires... Not when you are just rolling on a smooth, flat surface.

Nice idea but can only work on small tires, further making the driving experience horrid. Larger tires, up to a point, gives you much less resistance, you can keep rolling forever on them. With this one, you peddle all the time.

Why Every New Macbook Needs a Different Goddamn Charger

SquidCap says...

Which means that EVERY Mcbook 2015 owner has to buy the 79$ adapter. Every. one . of. them. It is so mandatory that it should be standard accessory but no, you have to buy it separately. So add that 79$ to it's price when you consider buying one.

TheFreak said:

It's not just changing the charger, that's usb-c which is also the video output. So if your conference rooms at work use projectors or flat screens...yay, one more video adapter to stock for those important meetings when the presenter doesn't prepare and realizes at the last moment that she connect connect.

Anita Sarkeesian: 'What I Couldn't Say'

SquidCap says...

Agree fully with genjikilpatrick. Sarkeesian is not right person to talk about this subject, a subject that is important and we are trying to do something about it. But as long as Anita is kept at as a postergirl of the movement, it ain't gonna be easy.

She has received threats but she has also fabricated some of those threats to suit the role she likes to play. Fabricated research, stolen media, money as a motivation, those are not the hallmarks of an honest person... The whole gamergate was a debacle, i don't at ALL respect the trolls and MRA actions but it is so bloody hard when i can't support the one person picked up by the media to represent the case. She is everywhere. I'm sure that in the circles that no nothing about games, her work is for the good as it raises awareness. But in the mean time, us in the game development do not trust her motives and methods and the "enemy" can shoot the whole movement down. We try to ignore her and continue the work towards more equal gender roles in gaming. And as a gamer try to do our best to keep the trolls at bay.

How To Quickly Check A Used Car For Purchase

SquidCap says...

He should've picked a car that was actually old instead a year old that's pretty much guaranteed to be ok.. Every example here is "it's ok"..

Finnish parliament elections just got epic!

SquidCap says...

Proud member of Pirateparty here Unfortunately i have to vote for the left party as Pirateparty can seriously get only one representative from Helsinki and voting them here up north is worse than useless.. But i'm guessing Hansi gets thru, we like him

Oh, and as tradition dictates, torilla tavataan.

Story Of The Bass

SquidCap says...

Funny to see Roger Waters included in there. The man is pretty poor musician, he admits it freely. In Pink Floyd you had mediocre drummer, barely capable bass player, genius guitarist and great keyboard player. What makes Waters great is his song writing, not the musicianship.
