Seconding LibreOffice. It'll open/edit/save word files without a problem and it's largely aged out of the growing pains that plagued the early office software alternative, specifically OpenOffice.

I get pissed when I accidentally press a key on my computer that I normally don't touch, then things change, but I don't know why or how to fix, since I'm not sure what key I pressed in the first place. Mostly happens with Word documents.

[Il Palazzo]

Doesn't Ctrl+z reverse the changes?

[dragdeler]

It wouldn't reverse the worst key combination in the world which is ctrl+shift... Which does nothing unless you happen to have 2 keyboard regions saved.

amazon managed to do something similar once too... way to rub it in that 2factor auth is never about enduser comfort and security

NEW RULE: whenever a site softlocks me out of my account despite being able to verify my identity with a phone call, they should owe me my phone number in euros

I'm not sure where I should share this, but it's upsetting so here goes:

You should probably never get a cat. They are really good at walking over your keyboard and pressing random key combinations

Got my friends playing The Forest.

Tell one rather particular friend that it has a katana in it. Which is like his "thing." His "bit" that he likes to do. Any game that has a katana he will use it and only it, even if it completely sucks. Because he's taken the edgy memelord weeb thing and built a whole annoying persona around it.

So he gets the game. And the first thing he does is read the wiki to find out where the katana is, and disappear for 45 minutes after hot dropping into the game to go look for it.

It's always annoyed me, ever since we were kids, how he cannot think past his own self-gratification when it comes to gaming. He has to have the best thing immediately or he won't have fun. It's so juvenile and it's the reason I quit playing most kinds of games with him, particularly table top roleplaying. But we still play video games together. And his personal ethic on video games never fails to get under my skin too. He will look at an entire game, boil it down to one thing, obsess about that one thing and then make a meme out of that one thing until he bores himself out of playing.

And god help us if the Katana is underpowered.

Glorious nippon code folded one thousand times?

Kinda reminds me of somebody I know, I can have 800h in a game and tell him "yo what you're trying won't quite  work out the way you imagine it to" and it's still the only thing he'll do or try.

7dtd: make a giant foundation out of wooden slabs, that have like 50hp and will allways cause the block above it to float... something that would have been some sort of winding staircase ends up a blocky mess because he keeps having to hide his loose floaty ends.

Has like 3000-6000h in dota2 90% of which with sandking... still regularly tried to launch ulti after stun and gets disabled to pieces. Allways buys blademail too.

He will also obsess over items he likes IRL no matter how unmeta they are in game. The times he made me sit trough the talk how something is supposed to work, because he has this and that idea how they work IRL (which allready has a tendency to be inaccurate), even if the game has zero pretense at realism... And he will keep trying even if every single one of my predictions turned out to be correct.

Usually when I notice he's got a new obsession into his head, the game turns into singleplayer, but ever since I corona I avoid playing with him alltogether.... he became a way worse contrarian in the lockdowns ....

One of my best gaming m8s is also one of my worst. Because he has a lust to pwn noobs, and likes taking action when he has overwhelming superiority. He beelines for maximum optimal power even in games where I'm just trying to roleplay. However he often doesn't know what the optimum play is - which leads to hilarity or grief. Like in Vic2, where no matter what nation he plays he has to get the Suez canal. Doesn't matter if it's Japan or Croatia, he knows getting the Suez is what powerful countries do so he must do it too. One time when he was playing a Greece run he invaded Egypt to take the Suez; the Ottoman Empire saw all his troops leave the border and then invaded Greece whilst all his troops were stranded in a hostile Cairo. Another time we had to pause the game because we thought it was bugged - no matter what he did as Japan, he couldn't make a budget surplus. Cutting all government projects to 0 did nothing, army maintenance to 0 did nothing. I make a save game and begin doing some diagnostics. At this time the British Empire was supporting the construction of two battleships; the United States supported 3, and the German Empire 1. I myself as Austria could support none at all, only constructing Ironclads. He was attempting to construct more than two dozen battleships simultaneously

Imagine being the stupid fucking cunt who takes a working persons tool to prevent their trailer from rolling off. I said nothing because I felt I would have instantly resorted to insulting the retard...


It came as it had to and half an hour later of not being able to litterrally rip out my tools of people hands without being a passive aggressive asshole about it and voila, one brush dissappeared.

WHAT. A. SURPRISE.

there is nothing but retards here and if didn't have to meet them again and again, I would verbally abuse the shit out of them for every minor detail... these miscarriages would still threat their own kids like shit if they showed twice as much common sense as I am to expect from our average visitor "do it right" they'd fucking say... if I say do it right they act like I said gibberish


when half the time it's extremly obvious that they understand basic concepts like stacking, they do it it in their... somebody should smash their heads in the prrof of their bad faith until it leaves permanent damage they allready act like they're handicapped anyway




And no it's not ableism, certifiably disabled people are waaaay less of an issue than your average entitled cunt, these people only ask when they need help, and they allways do it nicely, I've yet to meet a handicapped perspn that's an entitled cunt, I'm sure they exist, but they're a drop in an ocean of ablebodied and minded entitled cunts

Has like 3000-6000h in dota2 90% of which with sandking... still regularly tried to launch ulti after stun and gets disabled to pieces. Allways buys blademail too.

I mean, unless something got changed there is technically enough time on that stun to finish the channeling just as it wears off. Wherein you might have enough time to pop a sandstorm to stop your cheeks getting immediately clapped. Still not as good an idea as just doing it normally, but it's theoretically possible.

You'd basically have to stack the commands though, there's about a tenth of a second worth of wiggle room. ...also I last played years ago, it's entirely likely that's one of the things they did change and everything I just said is irrelevant

Pffft, who cares about the katana... I want the old flaregun back.

Biggest problem with that plan though is that Dota 2 now has a status resist stat. It’s actually had one for a while now. As a result, most stuns don’t actually last for their full duration since most carrys now buy items that shorten the duration of things like that.
