The reason I have plat is because someone wanted to PM me about becoming a mod, which frankly is a great indictment against the institution.

There’s too much insane terminally online SA Galaxy brain stuff around this for me but it’s all in the new QQCS

It does seem strange that they apparently didn't like QCS but the new one seems to produce far more meltdowns.

I try to avoid it because it just shows that lots of people on this hellsite are completely loving insane and the sensible thing to do would be to log off permenantly

I think he did very good work in the Ukraine thread (probed me several times as well, but that's the job). o7

CZS was involved (on the wrong side) in two different doxxing incidents, one of which was covered up by Fritz the Horse. Kind of hard to come back from, even if they didn't directly doxx anyone.

Lol so true. I pushed myself to enjoy the first 3 zones of Elden Ring and then, like dipping into QQCS v2 today, had a moment of clarity and wondered what the gently caress I’m doing with my life

Someone should make the Saclopedia a wiki and keep it updated for once.

Really weird when you're reading a thread with a couple of camps feuding and suddenly everyone gets together to laugh at some other weirdo instead.

I've never seriously asked that after Brexit became a thing, it's more like a choice of "do you want to be able to continue living in Britain if you so decide y/n" there's very little downsides beyond the cost and faff.

Klopp's 13pts clear thanks to video ref

I used to read QCS occasionally just to keep an eye on what was going on when I saw a poo poo load of probed posters in the US thread that I read because I hate myself

Had a look at SAD when it came back and I just cannot be bothered with any of that poo poo. Imagine getting that riled up about an internet forum.

I've read SA for years but I didn't get an account because I didn't have a bank card that worked online (I think it was just a cash card when they were a thing). My first purchase with my debit card was this account. First post was probably in the football subforum maybe? I remember posting around the Slenderman stuff but that might have been after. Christ it's been so long.

right now I have three of them in use but two of them no longer seem to be available for sale- the other is the gardepro a3s which was a little more expensive than the other two but it's a fair bit more modern and does better video in less space on the larger size SD cards

generally they are all much the same between the alphabet soup "brands" and probably come off the same assembly lines- pick one with features you want (I didn't want or need WiFi or Bluetooth poo poo which saved me money) and be prepared for it not to work and need another sent out so buy somewhere with easy returns

two or more cheaper cameras might suit you better than one expensive one if you just want to know what's happening and when, just bear in mind if you are leaving the cameras out somewhere and want to be able to reload them in the field you will need two sets of SD cards and batteries per camera

and it's not so much of an issue anymore but make sure what you get will take rechargeable batteries or you will spend more in batteries than you did on the camera over time

Looking at SAD the issue seems to be he didn't ban someone who was thought might (and did) doxx some poster rather than being overzealous, but I didn't read all that much of the thread.

I dunno that is kindof lovely I guess.
