  • Unfortunately its the down side of trying to upscale a PS1 or PS2, its fine with a cheaper one, for example you could get a retrotink 2x or something else and use that to convert to HDMI, it won’t be as clean as the 5x and you would still have the issues with games that switch resolutions causing the HDMI signal to drop for 3-4 seconds, but it would work. I just know from experience how annoying it is when I want to play one of those games, so for me it was worth it, and it was a lot cheaper when I bought mine…


  • For ps2, you want a retrotink, ps2 and ps1 have resolution switching mid game which is fine for crt tvs, it doesn’t work well with hdmi causing a drop out on resolution change, for 3-4 seconds each time. The retrotink is one of the few that can buffer the video so it keeps a steady 1080p signal through hdmi.

    I have a 5x pro and it’s an amazing device. Upgraded from an ossc because of the above issues on my ps1 and ps2 games.

    Pretty much, when they removed search engines who wouldn’t pay them was the final straw and I went back to reddit (after not being there since the API debacle) 1 last time and replaced all my 26,000 karma worth of comments with “Comment removed in protest of Reddit blocking search engines.” Took me a while, but meh, if they want to hasten its enshitification, I don’t mind doing my part.


  • Because harassing the Jurors won’t change the outcome of the case since the Jurors have already done everything they are going to do, so harassing them can no longer harm the case, which is probably his primary concern. He obviously would prefer that Trump not attack them, but he’s giving Trump rope and a warning, so we’ll see if Trump ignores the rope, or if he can’t help himself but to open his mouth and stick his head in it.


  • As someone who was forced to do this for a couple months when I was in the Army, rotating shifts destroys your ability to get good sleep, its horrendous to actually experience. It took about 2 months before people started getting so sleep deprived that people started failing PT (physical training) tests and it took the brigade commander looking at our battalion and asking “wtf is going on over there?” and hearing what our battalion had done to our shift schedule and put a stop to it. He called over every single soldier who failed their PT test to hear our excuses, and when most of us were first time failures and we all had the exact same complaint, by the time he got to me, he was like “You’ve been on rotating shifts, unable to sleep, and were forced to take this test after a shift when you’re completely exhausted like everyone else?” “yes sir” “ok, don’t expect that shift rotation to last, I’ll be talking to your battalion commander after this. Send in the next person.” Dude was ready to just start ripping into us but changed his tune right quick after hearing about the fucked up shift schedule and lack of any common sense in the leadership’s ability to plan properly. One of the few times where shit actually rolled uphill. Suffice it to say, before I even finished the drive back to my barracks, I was being called by my platoon sergeant that we’d have to a new schedule tomorrow and to just show up for swing shift like we normally would be on.

    In the prison I worked at we would usually rotate shifts every 6 months, but our commander heard complaints about people being on day shift for so long at one time that they were getting burnt out dealing with 90% of the problem times with inmates, and instead of changing it to every 3 months, changed the rotation to every 2 days. Literally, 2 days on Day shift, 2 days on Swing shift, 2 days on Night shift, 1 day off, then back to days. And that last day was getting off shift at 6AM, doing PT until 8AM, Barracks Maintenance until 10 AM, then because of the rotation, we’d have to be back in at work at 5:30 AM the next day, so our 1 day off a week was only 19.5 hours, and you’re exhausted but you can’t sleep yet, otherwise you’ll be up all night before work the next day, so you force yourself to run on fumes, getting a haircut, getting food and supplies for the next week, etc. Then sleeping, so there was literally never any time to relax. It fucking sucked.



  • Yeah, the guy was a piece of shit. The first time he started being a piece of shit to me I was walking past him and he started throwing insults about my girlfriend that he had never met, saying I’m pathetic because I “have to date a retarded girl” (which she wasn’t, she was mildly autistic, diagnosed aspergers. Like completely 100% functional, but with some social anxiety around people she didn’t know, but even if she was, his comments would still be fucking bullshit). Out of fucking nowhere, right in front of my team leader too, and at the time they were both E5’s. My team leader pulled him aside and told him if he ever heard him saying that uncalled for shit again, he would kick the shit out of the other guy. He left me alone after that until he was promoted to SSG and transferred to a different section which resulted in him being outside my chain of command but still having to interact with me on a semi-regular basis, and every single time he was just a dick of colossal proportion. To this day, no one I know that also worked with him had any clue why he suddenly cranked the “Be a dick to this 1 E4” dial to 11. He didn’t do it to anyone else in the company as far as anyone was aware and the people who were in his platoon that I was friends with had no clue why he was being such a dick to me. He wouldn’t answer them when they asked what his problem with me was either.
