The motorcycle I bought to zip around and have fun on is broken, so I have to drive my car instead while I wait for the part to arrive.
I don’t know what’s the most first world problem I’ve experienced, but the most recent was when I tried to use my roasting pan on my relatively new stove today and found that the roasting pan is not induction compatible.
So I put it in the Goodwill pile and ordered a fancy brand pan to replace it.
You could always try one of those adapter plates
I don’t really have a lot of space for more stuff and I did already order another one. Thank you for the suggestion, though.
I want to buy Bionicles.
I cannot buy Bionicles.
I’ve been enjoying these all day with my global south tm popcorn. Keep 'em coming X^D
Going out looks fun but then you try it and it isn’t fun.
I have a weird relationship with numbers. I like some more than others.
I don’t like # 9.
My current phone is a Pixel Pro 9. I’m seriously considering trying to sell it and get the Pixel Pro 10. 🙄
Ack!
Sometimes my 3D printer nozzle gets clogged and if I don’t have a new one I have to order one and use my other two 3D printers until the new nozzle comes
My robot lawnmower keeps getting stuck on my garden beds and I have to walk out at least once a day to restart it.
Does the map not have a way to block the beds area? I block the bathrooms from my vacuum.
Not with my dumb free bouncing worx robot. Next robot will solve that problem though. No wires and use GPS (well… RTX, VSLAM, and cameras/sensors). What a time to be alive.
Oh yeah. I upgraded my dumb bouncy robot vacuum for one with lidar and a base station it vacuums into. It’s amazing and I love it. I even got shorter doggy gates to block bedrooms but I elevated them about 5 inches off the floor so the vacuum could still go under and clean the room.
They’re called bed because the put the robot to sleep.
The problem I’m dealing with right now is kind of a first world one in that I’m unable to ride my electric bicycle because the speed sensor is malfunctioning and the sensor from my other bike is incompatible as it’s a 4-pin one and the other bike uses a 3-pin one. I do have a 3rd bike too but it’s not fun to ride due to lack of electric assist.
My first world experience was being born. Entirely downhill since then
The most first world problem I ever experienced was years ago, some games show tips and info during load screens, well my new computer was loading the games faster than I was able to read the tips, the moment I voiced my complaint about it I knew it was the most first world problem I would ever experience.
Variants on that problem have been around for quite some time.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_button
On some older IBM PC–compatible computers, the turbo button selects one of two run states: the default “turbo” speed or a reduced speed closer to the Intel 8086 CPU. It was relatively common on computers using the Intel 80286,[1] 80386 and 80486 processors,[2] from the mid 1980s to mid 1990s. The name is inspired by turbocharger, a device which increases an engine’s power and efficiency. When pressed, the “turbo” button is intended to let a computer run at the highest speed for which it had been designed.[3]
With the introduction of CPUs which ran faster than the original 4.77 MHz Intel 8088 used in the IBM Personal Computer, programs which relied on the CPU’s frequency for timing were executing faster than intended. Games in particular were often rendered unplayable, due to the reduced time allowed to react to the faster game events. To restore compatibility, the “turbo” button was added.[4] Disengaging turbo mode slows the system down to a state compatible with original 8086/8088 chips.
Its all true, I was there. Its all coming back to me.
The beige. Computers were all beige.
Handheld game consoles are too big and heavy.
Games are too long.I now have a motorized desk at work and unlike the one we have at home, you cannot single-tap the memory setting and just watch it adjust. I need to hold it until my desired height is reached.
I’m sorry you have to live this way
Can you still call that living
I’m trying to hang in there.
Savagery.
My backlog of Steam games that I haven’t played through is kind of overwhelming.
Some highly-replayable games, like roguelikes, make it worse, because they soak up time that isn’t going towards finishing the finishable ones.
My backlog:
- CP2077 (a few hours in but didn’t enjoy the gameplay)
- Mass Effect 3 (I loved ME1 and ME2, but many people say ME3 is not as good)
- Horizon Zero Dawn
- Fallout 4
- Final Fantasy 7 Remake (I might just give up, didn’t enjoy the combat and the padding)
- Hellblade
- Dying Light
- Tomb Raider the recent trilogy
- Baldur’s Gate 3 (got stuck because combat is too confusing/difficult to me)
- Divinity Original Sin 2
- The Witcher 3 (not enjoying the combat)
- GTA 4 and 5
- Dragon Quest Builders
That short list brings me much shame.
How far along are you in the witcher? Combat is basic and kinda boring but what is stellar for me are the characters you encounter, their stories and your interactions with them; Random ones and the ones that have history with Geralt, people in this game feel incredibly real and the writing, voice acting and characterization are great. Also the world, so grand and beautiful inspite of the horrors in it, man made or otherwise.
The game made me emotional so mamy times, there are some great moments in it… In short, there is a lot that makes up for the meh combat. I struggled initially as well when I first played it, but one I left the first area I started to enjoy myself. think it’s worth sticking to it.
Only around 1 hour I think. Part of the problem is the confusing UI and the not so helpful tutorial. I have lowered the difficulty but the tutorial tries to teach me everything at the same time.
I have similar issues with CP2077. I think CDPR is good at characters/stories, but not so good at introducing game mechanics.
Can’t argue with that. White Orchad suuuckss, but once you leave the area (thankfully is short) and the world starts opening up to you it’s so worth it, trust.
I do like narrative games, and I prefer games with full voice acting with W3 seems to have. I will try it again eventually. Thanks for the suggestion.
Combat feels clunky and slow until you’ve got some levels and abilities. I don’t usually uae consumables a lot in games because I don’t want my playstyle to be hampered by not having a potion on me, so I leaned heavily into the magic and it really made a world of difference for me.
Not mine, but two collages of mine.
Over lunch we were discussing what we cook for dinner most nights etc.
The two of them live together and said that they don’t cook they have a food delivery service that delivers nutritious hot home cooked meals to their door every night at 7pm
They complained that on Wednesdays the food isn’t as good as other days.
