    Yeah, the dating apps are monetized to all hell, you guys have called it right.

    I was on them a decade ago, and I’m classically handsome, mentally stable, good job, etc; went looking for a serious partner with similar life goals, and all I got was catfishing and trolls.

    After I subscribed to the premium tier, I began getting messages from real people but I was so disgusted by the transparent greed that I swore off all dating websites and services and went the offline route, meeting my current SO through real life friends at a social event.

    Starve the beast, as the conservatives say. Deny them their money.





  • I go into a meditative, Zen-like Trance playing the Doom titles.

    For reference, I’ve been playing Doom since it came out in 1993, arguably, I’ve played it for more hours than possibly anyone alive on the Internet at the present moment. Maybe over a solid 128,000 hours between D1/D2/D3/D2016/D:Eternal.

    I still play it, various MegaWADS featured in the CacoAwards, and whatnot, but I digress.

    My feeling with this is, as they’d say:

    “Your judgement for the sin of wrath is an eternity in Hell”.

    “Why are you smiling? It’s supposed to be a punishment.

    “No, adjudicator, I heard you perfectly. An eternity in paradise.”




  • I have an AMD card, add VLC as a game in the drivers, and you can turn on AMFM (frame gen).

    If it doesn’t work you could just turn it on system wide in display settings of the Adrenaline Software (gear upper right corner, display/gaming).

    I think it requires at least a 6000 series GPU however.

    If you have a Samsung TV or other modern smart TV connected to a laptop, you can also turn on frame-gen using Auto Motion Plus, set to Custom.

    Judder Reduction 10 is double frames, so 24 FPS -> 48.
