Low level explanations for high level PC hardware knowledge.

I appreciate channels like Gamers Nexus, but a good chunk of the information they put out, are just funny words to me.

I mean the man is a lawyer. Surely that makes it legal, right?

League of Legends. A little proud to say that it took a lot of time to remember I used to dump hours into that hellscape of a game.

Don’t get me wrong, League can be fun and some champ designs are just chef’s kiss. But at some point I just felt like I wasn’t improving any more and got far less.endorphins And ofc, the community is salty and unable to understand that flaming=lower win chances. And I have to admit, I was easily irritated, too, writing messages to support faster than Karen can call the cops.

After quitting I realized it was either a way to distract myself from my problems or actually a form of punishing myself. I wouldn’t be surprised if many other players were stuck with it for that reason, perpatuating the toxicity further.

Brake checking the person behind them. But yeah, it’s a lot less common than tailing I guess

Telling the “computer” to do a thing and it just does. AI has it’s upsides and saves me so much time and energy

Not keeping proper distance to the vehicle in front or behind them

I’d like to add drinking to that. If your hobby is drinking, and you drink several times a week, you might have an issue.

but it’s not an ADHD “pick up every hobby” friendly one

That’s true. I was in luck and there was a blacksmith in town who opens his workshop to kids on occasion or travels to job conventions and brought his tools with him. Maybe there are comparable activities/ offers near you, which I can highly recommend. Not only will you not have to worry about tools and materials, most importantly there will be a “teacher” around.

If you find something and decide to check it out, have fun! :)

Blacksmithing is one of the few hobbies that a guy probably can’t teach his girlfriend because women usually use a different technique to make up for strength differences.

Me, a woman who tried blacksmithing before: Don’t use spring steel or other metals that are hard to manipulate/hammer into shape when starting off. Don’t start with a sword, start with bending and twisting a nail into… whatever. If they like the hobby they’ll stick to it and the muscle will build over time. And if it doesn’t: power tools.

underrated comment xD

I heard that it is supposedly forbidden in my country to name a child “Satan”. I live in a pretty progressive/ not very religious country, so I find that absolutely moronic. I would totally ask if it was possible to assign that as a second name.

And even though my low low bar, I would probably never name my child after any brand, place or food item. Names that sugest stupidity are also off the list.
