not only has he successfully established his own brand named alexander wang, he is the first asian creative director for french fashion house, and made this for h&m



and when I was a kid people ripped on a classmate for having butts as a last name; dude is probably running a billion dollar conglomerate called butts incorporated now :ohhh

The fact that Sony Stanleys on GAF hitched their ride on a badly done wannabe ScyFi original for a video game instead of Bloodborne displeases me.

Then again, like me, they're probably expecting positive reviews for the later.  :whew

- Nikola Tesla, grounded in reality.

In this part of the review they complain that Nikola is wasted and under utilised, that in myth he was rumoured to have created a device that could cause Earthquakes and things of that ilk. Whilst it's fine to want that, this is not the game for those kinds of immensely fantastical inventions. The Order 1886 may be fictional and based in fantasy, but it is very much grounded in reality, with an air of realism to all the weapons and gadgets in the game.

These two completely and utterly fail to realise that. They state that the first weapon Nikola proposes is simply a rifle with a scope, completely missing that moments earlier, he introduced you to the Fuse device, and explained the full science behind it no less. On top of that, take the time for a little exposition, and you'll notice other trinkets littered around his lab, including the arc gun being tested. The arc gun, the thermite rifle, the fuse device, all of these inventive gadgets and weapons have a certain believability to them, and are designed in such a way that they could actually have existed. I think these two failed to appreciate that, instead expecting over the top, even more superfluous gadgetry, that simply would not fit in with premise of the game at all.

Apple's creed is making decent and reliable hardware that's overpriced as fuck, never understood why that recipe has caused people to fall in love with the stuff they make.

Not to mention their "I'm a mac, I'm a PC" advertisements soured me on actually ever buying their shit.

Maybe under Jobs it was. We are now firmly in the Tim Cook/Jonny Ive era of making stupid fashionable shit and giving 30 minutes of our presentation to some washed up 80s fashion model.

1. Their hardware is AMAZING despite being overpriced (and underpowered compared to WINtel stuff at the time). Their Powerbook/MacBook line is especially good for general use
2. OS X

I have a Mac Mini I bought 10 years ago, love it. I'd get another Mac if it didn't cost as much as me buying parts for a gaming PC and building it myself did. Shiiiit, I'd buy a Hackentosh off Apple if they were dumb and redoing that. I miss OS X. Granted, I can kinda get a similar look and feel with Gnome on Linux now, it isn't the same thing (nor BSD).

macbooks are nice.  I've had my original unibody since they launched in 2008, literally no problems with it besides the hardware aging.  I also never upgraded past mountain lion. I have treated the thing like shit, dropped it a lot, let it heat up a lot, and it's still going strong.  I'm just now starting to consider a replacement, definitely with another macbook.  I don't consider it overpriced for how long it has lasted and how durable it is. 

edit:  i do have a desktop "gaming" pc for more intense stuff, so that allows me to just use the macbook for basic shit.

My current Haswell 13" Macbook Air is probably the best hardware purchase I have ever made.

For all the shit Apple gets its laptops seem to be a couple of generations ahead of everyone else.

The battery life, form factor and trackpad are crazy good.

They're reliable, yes. But they are overpriced if:

-You look at the costs of similar parts on WINtel's side
-You're going for general web-browsing and don't need the cruise-ship luxury liner price

For all the shit Apple gets its laptops seem to be a couple of generations ahead of everyone else.

I wouldn't exactly say that.

But yes. The battery life and stuff is really good. You can buy a Mac for a $1000 and unless you treat it ULTRA HORRIBLE (dropping it off skyscrapers bad), it'll generally last you far far far longer than a Windows laptop would, especially if you don't go with the latest OS X release on them.

(My only concern is Apple's support for earlier OS's and security holes/etc patches)

Similar parts?  ok, i could've bought some Asus monstrosity in 2008 that ran crysis at 20fps, but the parts would not have lasted this long.

Sony stanleys are more irritated than ever PC stanleys can play the pixel counter game better than them. Same in the Battlefield Hardline thread (Though to be fair that game looks like rancid butthole anywhere). It's like all the technical talk at the start of the generation they were promoting backfired on them hard and hate when PC stans pull them up on it.

It's probably cause normal internet ads (especially for tech/gaming) have been on a downtrend for years. See this comment about today's closure of GigaOm:

Quote
I was the editor in chief at Dr. Dobb's, which many of you know closed down in December. As I explained in my farewell editorial [1], our ad sales were squeezed by a comparatively recent phenomenon in media, which is a very steep drop in vendors' willingness to buy Web ads--a lifeline for most web sites.

The reason is that vendors have (finally!) discovered that effectively nobody ever buys anything by clicking on a web ad.

For certain consumer sites, that's a survivable problem. For example, Budweiser's ads aren't intended to make a sale, but rather to remind people of the brand. However, for many tech companies (those that aren't tier 1), they don't have the funds to do brand-oriented ads. Their ads need to result in clicks and purchases. And that's just not happening on pure websites. (FB and Twitter are a wholly different category.)

Personally, I expect that more web sites in the tech sector that have depended in the past on advertising will either fail or drastically cut back on their offerings.

Tyler's pretty penny is about to get squeezed, I think. Time to sell.

It certainly wasn't for the men, either. It was for the ability to be themselves in an area that isn't going to beat the shit out of them, for some of the more "flamboyant" ones.

Businesses are also moving hard to social media and google SEO. It's all about consumer engagement on a personal level and "Shareability" so that people pass on the marketing to others. Low cost and effective.

Well, it is a bit of a 'chicken or the egg' thing. One begets the other.

Locally, Lakewood, Ohio (right next to Cleveland) is the gay mecca around here and there isn't really a historical reason on why/how it happened.

You know, Lakewood carries that rep but it's trending downward. The warehouse district (and to a lessor regard the  W 25th street trend mafia) is becoming the new homebase of the LGBT crowd. Lakewood is being consumed by Cleveland and is much more dangerous/criminally effected than it was 10 years ago.

No doubt, it was becoming that way when I left Cleveland around 2002.

I didn't think so based on that shot.  slightly sharper texture, sure.  but everything else is blurred, aliased, small draw distance, etc.  that's what I meant was that they're caught up on the AF so much that they disregard everything else, not to mention 60fps and the res bump.

He actually does bodybuilding competitions, and is in great shape, but I guess he's done with hookups and wants to settle down.

As a gay slut, yes, yes, we are. Most of us, really.

And as far as the gay diaspora goes, SF is full of EXTREMELY attractive men basically everywhere. It's nuts and unfair and I would never be able to afford living there.

all that said, when i do feel like starting to date, which probably won't happen until I get closer to 30 and start to calm down my libido, I'm definitely anxious and wary of the gay dating world because it's just rough.

SpiritReaver/DarthWufei's problem? "Nearly all my friends are straight."

That right there is the big issue.

ZephyrFate

  • Senior Member
This isn't even the first time he's talked about it. He's had this problem for years. Where he lives, who he is friends with, and his general "woe is me" attitude are likely the larger problems with his dating life. He's ripped, and furry. One visit to Scruff and, despite being a hookup app, he could probably find a boyfriend. Scruff posts shit like that all the time on FB about guys meeting up and getting married in a year or two.
