On the HBOMAX app, I have a list of “continue watching” things that I haven’t finished. Except that they’re all just movies I stopped when the credits starts. There’s no way to remove them from the list that I can tell and they don’t drop off or time out or whatever. So now I have this bigass list of things I’m probably not gonna continue watching that I can clear unless I go through and ffwd through all the credits. Dumb!!!

I think you have to log in on a browser then you click the actual words "continue watching" and it will show your list along with an edit button. I don't think it exists on the app, or at least not on the devices I own, so I'm lucky that I watch in a browser about half the time. I still never remove stuff but at least I know I can.

That happens to me all the time with Plex, but at least there's a "Mark as Watched" button (that I have to press every time).

The moment it is revealed their name is Shepherd, all I can think is, okay this guy is a Jesus analog, got it. And they usually are. But sometimes they aren't and I'm like, what the gently caress why are you named Shepherd then

But sometimes they aren't and I'm like, what the gently caress why are you named Shepherd then I'm glad Shepard in Mass Effect was just a reference to Alan Shepard and not a Jesus analogy. It's just a coincidence that Shepard died and was resurrected by the Lazarus Project and sacrificed themself for all people in the galaxy in the end.

Either the man LIKED his cars or he's comfortable enough with himself to make himself the weirdo car pervert main character in a book about weirdo car perverts.

There was a character on Lost called Christian Shephard. Like a lot of Lost character names it didn't actually mean anything but it was pretty funny

Website logins where hitting 'Tab' just once after the username field doesn't directly go to the password field; and/or hitting 'Enter' after typing in the password does not login, you have to click the button with the mouse or tab (sometimes more than once) to it.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:Showing passwords instead of ********** should be the default I love the ones where you have to press the button to see the password... and it only shows while you hold down the button. Typing in passwords on a Hololens is the absolute loving worst, because it's easy to mistype, the only feedback is audio, and you have to try to hold a virtual button floating in midair to show your password for a while. It's especially genius because it's just not possible for anyone else to see said password being typed in anyhow, unless you're screensharing/casting. The password being obfuscated is completely pointless on a screen nobody else can see. lobsterminator posted:It's 2022. People are so tech savvy that is should be fine to show nothing as standard, like Unix systems. Oh no gently caress right off with that, I always get thrown off when the caret doesn't move. It's always start typing, 'poo poo, did I mistype?', delete everything, realize I'm in Unix again, sigh, type in password.

You served the content just fine and ran into a problem with some ads or tracking or comments that I don't give a singular gently caress about. Blow me and let me read the loving post.

Especially when there is parking AVAILABLE up just a little further on the curb, but they don't pull forward into it, they still double park. A current peeve is when mothers take advantage of daughters new boyfriends if they appear handy at all, and always offer them up to fix or build or move poo poo etc without even asking the girl actually dating the poor guy. He just wants to make a good impression with my mom and bless his heart. I wont let her volunteer my man like that anymore after a transgression tonight, but she got the message. I mean yeah its nice to have a man around the house after dad has been dead for a year+, but he isn't your personal Geeksquad or whatever. Love her, love him, just want peace in the valley. Edit: And this is all from me standing up on his behalf because he is too good natured to ever not be the most polite to my mother, so since he couldnt stand up and say something about it to her, then I had to do it on his behalf. But its all good now. Le Faye Morgaine has a new favorite as of 06:45 on Jul 29, 2022 |

Anyone who expects me to remember biographical information about other posters, from gender and location all the way to career and posting history. Sometimes I remember people, sure. But other people I see their reg date and wonder how I've never noticed we post on all the same threads for the last twenty years. Sometimes I have to stop and recall my kids' birthdays, and I was there when they arrived. Nothing is that interesting, I'm sorry if anything I post is extra egregious because of your personal experience but I don't know it, I don't remember it if you told us, I'm sorry, please stop this

Brawnfire posted:Anyone who expects me to remember biographical information about other posters, from gender and location all the way to career and posting history. Hello, I'm going to sort of just meander about a sort of nostalgic associative anecdote related to Brawnfire's observation. TL;DR: Who here has made sustained connections with others through these forums? I first registered for these forums in 2000, and I think I'd just turned 16, but I might still have been 15. That was also during a time I was posting on Interplay's Fallout message board, and a Starsiege: Tribes message board and some other message boards, and out of those forums grew many friendships, and some of those people I still speak to and have met and hung out with even twenty-two years later, excluding somethingawful. I have absolutely spent more time on these forums, even in those days, than I did any other, and yet I've never gotten to know really a single loving one of you. Like, I can recall certain names of people with whom I've interacted with -- Lowtax, of course, who got me fired from my online job in a bizarre way in 2000, unrelatedly, just days after I'd registered for the forums, and Cowcaster who used to be like a bizarrely amazing person at Unreal Tournament 2004 because he'd only use the shield gun, which is the default backup bullshit weapon you start with, and he'd fuckin annihilate everyone, and Alt+F4 and others, okay, but like individually, save for a lot of messages on ICQ in the early 00s with Lowtax, I've never gotten to know a single one of you. Meanwhile through other forums I got to know some people who I still know today, some who have died, some I've met and others not but am still in regular contact with all these years. What does this mean regarding somethingawful? I've always considered this place to be a Real Special Place, a place of nonstop creativity, a place of constant evolution of social, micro-and-macro, but is that I'm just talking into The Void and The Void talks back? I would love to know actually how many real personal connections have been made on somethingawful. We have a twenty and more year history, and literally hundreds of thousands of users, so surely people have gotten to know each other in some way, real relationships created. gently caress what time is it credburn has a new favorite as of 07:51 on Jul 30, 2022 |

Annoyingly, I have the opposite pet peeve. People who are semi-regular posters in a thread who have been posting there for years and still feel the need to explain their basic situation every time even though yes I know, I remember you! You don't need to keep saying it! I guess you really can't please everyone.

There's definitely lots of posters I remember and recognize but they have to have stood out in my mind in some way multiple times before it connects. But when some poster is like "everyone on SA/itt knows I'm X" I'm like maybe? Probably, and I'm the only dipshit out of the loop, idk
