All-around weird person! Finnish, daddying two teen boys, rarely too serious because life's too short. Very bad at figuring out what to write in things like this so feel free to ask :)

Hope they keep flying Boeing 🙃

This is really interesting, been wondering because it just seems so absolutely random.

Tseikkis @tseikkis.bsky.social · 22h

I'm trying to postpone this really hard but people are praising it left and right so idk if I can make it, might have to buy it soon-ish 😅

Tseikkis @tseikkis.bsky.social · 22h

True true, I play that game in real life way too much for it to be too enjoyable 😅

Tseikkis @tseikkis.bsky.social · 22h

Cool picture, it's positively... beaming? 🙃

Really feel you, at least I do my councelling in FOX free enviroments. It would be really, REALLY hard for me to listen to that.

Also villains are free from all those absolutely annoying social rules we have to follow daily, having a role free of those should make anyone smile 🙃

That's really cool! Now just some of those acid laced bombs and you're ready for Halloween. (Sorry I absolutely can't get over the idea that Halloween Poison Ivy should totally be poisoning people with psychedelics) 😂

Good point. I could probably not stand my teenage self for too many hours... 😂

Tseikkis @tseikkis.bsky.social · 1d

Probably says something about one's personality if they start behaving like shit the second there probably aren't any IRL consequences.

And those people aren't ones I could have a good discussion with anyways so why bother?

Tseikkis @tseikkis.bsky.social · 1d

Well to me it's weird that some people think online enviroments are their personal trash can. Everyone here is a real person and deserves the same behavior I'd have towards anyone IRL.

I blame my cringe 13-year old whose favorite pastime is trying to cringe me out but not cross any boundaries while doing so 😂

Tseikkis @tseikkis.bsky.social · 1d

I just think of it as my living room where this monitor is located 😅 If I'd literally throw someone out of my home for how they behave, I don't need to put up with that online either. It's not difficult to be civil even when disagreeing. Same with unjustified hate towards any group of people.

Tseikkis @tseikkis.bsky.social · 1d

Completely apart from the situation being horrible, it's also really heartwarming to see all this grassroots resistance people are putting up. Gives me hope.

Tseikkis @tseikkis.bsky.social · 1d

This is literally murder.

Tseikkis @tseikkis.bsky.social · 1d

Just impossible to tell. I don't know how well that hardware difference translates to real difference from the point of view of the gamer. Maybe they're going for higher resolutions and framerates - but idk if main console players care that much? This equation is too complex for me 😅

Tseikkis @tseikkis.bsky.social · 1d

No idea really. Now, I don't know, but if I was Sony I'd consider the economic problems people have and probably not release a minor update for $500 or more. It's still 6+ years of hardware development but that HAS slowed down.

My guess would be it's not the time yet.

Tseikkis @tseikkis.bsky.social · 1d

I spose they're just walled garden ecosystem PC's at this point. So the PS5 being 2020 hardware and not high end at that, would imagine an upgrade being possible soon. It will mostly be up to what they can stuff in there and keep the price reasonable I think.

Tseikkis @tseikkis.bsky.social · 1d

This should really be mandated by law in all games so you can use your preferred build and go crazy with the visuals 😅

Tseikkis @tseikkis.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah I don't know what's with it, I run into tons of people who haven't thought about it - which was normal when VPNs were niche nerdy things but now they're in every Youtube ad - so it's kind of obvious no one doing shady stuff would use their own IP directly.

Tseikkis @tseikkis.bsky.social · 1d

Neither have many government officials when they announce cyberattack coming from certain country. The perps are almost certainly NOT in that country, I route via two different countries just for shits and giggles (along with a tiny increase in privacy).

Tseikkis @tseikkis.bsky.social · 1d

As a Finn (who are known for their neighbourly love) I'd say probably they don't have 😅

On a more serious note it's almost certainly a VPN server, the person might be in Uganda.

Tseikkis @tseikkis.bsky.social · 1d

Allowing anyone to have social support for any crazy bullshit they can possibly come up with and even a community around that is one of the more worrisome "worse" sides of online enviroments. This lets a lot of bullshit fly that would stop in one's head for lack of support without online things.

Tseikkis @tseikkis.bsky.social · 1d

What we absolutely are at this point is maladapted to online enviroments. We haven't caught up with the necassary critical thinking and media literacy skills on population level at all - hoping we're simply living an adjustment period.

Tseikkis @tseikkis.bsky.social · 1d

I guess it's both for better and for worse, I mean, it's just a new enviroment we need to learn to deal with. Both advantages and disadvantages. What I notice people doing is just going on about the disadvantages while forgetting the thousand new good things we can now do.
