i’m blown away that the switch 2 is so beefy. nintendo has been the “lower spec consoles but AMAZING first party games” company for as long as i can remember.

this would’ve been 2013ish, and i THINK it had something to do with forcing it to run as either admin or another user.

i might be conflating this with memories of “jailbreaking” school computers, it all kinda blends together after enough concussions lmao

yeah, fuck, i remember the icon. that’s the one :/

iirc this isn't possible with roblox anyway?

it for sure was like a decade ago. i have a specific formative memory of using a series of sock puppets to game my way into being the 1,000th unique player on a game i liked a lot.

i think you could only do 2 simultaneously, and it might’ve been win7 exclusive lmao

was there a recent issue? i DEFINITELY had a working roblox launcher back before i distro-swapped this last time. it MIGHT’VE been through lutris? i can’t remember specifically now :/

🔥🔥🔥

ah yes, this is the attitude that will fix everything

report the comments and don’t engage.

i’m sorry it’s happening, it’s something i wouldn’t wish on anyone, but just pointing at it doesn’t validate any arguments.

i haven’t seen a single person defending or encouraging behavior such as that, and i really don’t appreciate you painting your perceived enemies as bigots.

also you can etch those lil white squares surprisingly easily with commercially available glass etching creams, my mom used to fuck around with em a lot in like the 90’s i think.

maybe a difference in the actual composition of the grease? i was writing on polished stainless pots at below freezing temps, but i was ALSO using new-old-stock refills bc the current standard size is it’s own proprietary can of worms lol

side note, mechanical grease pencils are literally some of the best goddamn marking tools ever invented by humans, and the fact that we’ve moved away from them as a standard in favor of sharpie-style disposible markers is APPALLING.

there’s myriad “industrial” markers you can buy, which are generally especially well suited to one specific inclement situation. low temp markers won’t freeze, but will often bleed and feather. oil-proof markers will write on a slippery surface, but will smear and take ages to dry proper (RIP lefties). paint markers can write on anything, but only as long as the surface doesn’t immediately destroy your nib and prevent future wicking.

grease pencils (quality ones at least) go down like a crayon, stick to ANYTHING, and generally won’t smear at all. obviously no one should be writing their thesis with one, but they can do pretty much everything we use permanent markers for. they’re also cheaper and produce far less waste.

as far as i can tell the biggest downside is there’s a smaller profit margin for the manufacturers.
