I have to both agree that it’s a placement improvement in terms of ergonomics

This has to be trolling. Like, no, it’s not, unless you prioritize accessing the watchface and functionally nothing else in your day-to-day life. (This is even just accounting for ergonomics – and assuming this is achiral and can be transferred easily to the right hand (edit: wait, no, it’s chiral; even less ergonomic) – not how conspicuously stupid it looks.)

• Putting it on and taking it off is more complicated because you have to slide it over your thumb and do a tiny little strap and then an even tinier strap.
• Want to hold hands with a partner? I’m sure this’ll spice things up.
• What about that entire region of your palm? Who needs that all sensation when you have can a bunch of useless leather anyway?
• Continuing from the last point: inconsistency in the coverage of your palm just makes holding things weirder, especially including the phone your watch is likely talking with.
• Walking forward in a normal posture? Have fun near-inevitably smacking the shit out of your $300 smartwatch if you aren’t paying attention.
• Hot, sweaty day? Good thing there’s way more surface area covered by your clammy, leather watch on one of the most sensitive parts of your body.
• This genuinely looks like you’ll feel the edge of the leather hit your arm whenever you move your hand in certain ways. More importantly, you’ll feel the leather whenever you have your fingers curled in or hands together, and you’ll likely feel skin too, so it’ll just feel weird because of the constant inconsistency. It’d be so hard to become “nose blind” to because it’s always changing just a little bit.
• The ergonomics of charging this thing are surely more awkward than just a straight strap. And it’s even screwed in, so you can’t claim you easily pop the watch out and charge like that.
• Want to hide your $300 watch under a long sleeve? Too bad, fuckass.
• Choosing to switch it to upside-down? Too bad, fuckass; it’s in this one position you absolutely cannot adjust even a little.
• Trying to get actual, blue-collar work done for more than 10 seconds? Your $50 or whatever leather strap will be looking incredible by the end of it.
• As you pointed out: went to the bathroom and want to literally wash your hands? 1) Have fun wiping with this fucking thing on, and 2) as you point out, have fun washing.
• Edit: This thing would get so germy. Not even just accruing grime and wearing down from touching stuff (even if you were really discerning about what you touch), but the thing would practically be a toilet seat of germs. At least you wash your hands fairly regularly and don’t hold out your smartphone for someone to shake as a friendly greeting.

Glancing to look at your watch is not that onerous even when done relatively frequently. Literally what could your day-to-day life possibly be that this is more ergonomical?

Does anyone have something to clean the cum stain off the word “fucking”?

I think a little Nuka Cola Quantum splattered on the word “fuck”.

Yeah, the eyelashes get absorbed into the eyeball; it’s basic eyeballogy.

NASA’s Voyager engineers are like the final evolution of your uncle that keeps his 1974 Chevy C/K running at 400,000 miles. It’s the same autism across an ocean of resources.

“Where’s the money, Lebowski?!”

I know that stock image lady is supposed to be laughing, but her expression looks a bit more like she just lost a finger and is in traumatic shock.

PCSX2’s GameDB is tied to a version just the same. If the DB file changes on GitHub between versions (stable or nightly), that’s reflected when the user updates. Coming to think of it, RPCS3 might just download its updates from the RPCS3 website. I use Flathub, so I’ve never checked.

It looks at a (very) quick glance like this is going to be a file that downloads from https://api.rpcs3.net/config/, not something shipped with RPCS3 by default like we ship the GameDB YAML file with PCSX2. Optional like ours.

Aside: Shame to see RPCS3 still on Twitter. They’re a great team and deserve better than that. While I was away for a while, apparently a couple contributors decided to restart PCSX2’s Twitter (albeit automatically syndicated from our Mastodon and Bluesky), which I’m not especially happy about.

Competition is the catalyst of innovation. Keep going, and you can make better-quality milk to sell.

No?? Oh my gosh, was there a second paragraph I forgot to read or something? Shit.

Terrible guide. You’ll get nowhere in life if you act like this; everyone around you will think you’re some kind of insecure loser, and they won’t want you in their lives.

This is because you’re wasting so many perfectly good opportunities when you replace “Thank you” with nothing at all instead of e.g. “No need to thank me” or “It was my pleasure” or “No sweat”. Then people will know how cool and helpful you are and how much they need you.

Oh god, is plip plap the gay one?? I promised my mom in high school that I wasn’t gay; if she finds out, she’ll never let me live it down.

Excuse me, but I believe you dropped your monster condoms.

Oh, I won’t block them because I moderate a community they spent weeks ruining and barely didn’t get banned from as an olive branch.

They come up to me – great people, smart people – and they come up and they tell me: "Mr. Technician, sir, we’re so impressed with your terminology. Everybody’s talking about it. China’s talking – " they don’t have very good doctors over there, folks, so they come to me for advice.
