Item #: SCP-███

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-███ is to be housed in a hermetically sealed containment chamber at Site-███. The chamber must be equipped with industrial-grade air filtration systems and must be disinfected hourly. Personnel entering the chamber must wear Level A hazmat suits and carry a personal air purification unit. Under no circumstances should personnel remain within SCP-███’s containment chamber for more than 15 minutes.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a 27-year-old Caucasian male, previously known as █████ ███████, who has been the subject of an anomalous physiological change resulting from an extended period of poor personal hygiene. SCP-███ possesses the belief that abstaining from cleaning his genital area will produce pheromones attractive to women. This belief has manifested an anomalous property in SCP-███, generating a noxious odor that repels humans within a 250-meter radius.

The odor produced by SCP-███ has been classified as SCP-███-1. SCP-███-1 has been shown to cause immediate nausea, disorientation, and a strong instinctual urge to flee in exposed subjects. Continued exposure leads to more severe symptoms, including vomiting, temporary blindness, and in some cases, auditory hallucinations.

Addendum ███-A: Extract for Psychological Evaluation

Dr. ███████: Can you explain why you continue this... regimen, despite its effects?

SCP-███: You don't understand. I'm on the verge of a breakthrough. They just haven't smelled it long enough. They'll come around. They always do in the end.

That sucks, hope everything is fine now. How long did you have to pay attention to these things? And how is it later, can you play sports, run?

Great things from small beginnings. What a game.

In 2016 I was sitting at home recovering after they removed a wisdom tooth, and finished it during a long weekend.

A very wholesome story. I played probably thousands of hours of 1.6 and Source in high school, really loved this game.

My favorite memory is going to an IT camp with other nerds, and managing to knife 36 people in one day. That was the life.

I don’t have a gaming PC now (nor the time to play this much), but will think about checking out CS2 in the future.

I remember doing smg similar, I didn’t know how to react to girls’ interest, and thought I was being cool.

Damn I was a cringe teen.

They were probably rich (as stayed in a 5 star hotel) and might have some family connections to pull some strings

Tech bro: AI😎 Investors: 😱💵

Non-existent power source for a non-existent tech, a match made in heaven

(meaning what they hype as AI is actually mostly just LLM)

Mainly it’s Russia’s influencing efforts. Many Western right-wing politicians are in their pockets, their money supports many hard-right parties, and their propaganda directly influences and pushes voters to these parties. So primarily it’s a practical relationship of aligned goals, as Russia’s global activity helps them get more power domestically, so they are more lenient with Russia’s fuckery in e.g. Ukraine.

Secondarily there is a sympathy, as Putin did many things they would like to do domestically, building a white Christian anti-LGBT nation with a strong hand (at least in perception). I also once read an article I couldn’t find now, that explained how in global Christian “church politics”, Russia managed to get very close to and influence US Christian leaders, so that might also have an impact.

Trump was incredibly lucky. Shooter guy was also lucky and fairly skilled, but mostly exploited the incompetence or the security. Few cm-s to the right and he would have made history. Though I as an EU citizen would have preferred if he just stayed home. If Trump died, there would already be a civil war, and now he’ll “just” win the election, which is also not great regarding the future support of Ukraine and security of Europe.

I was debating if I want to buy one, but after trying that remote play worked well with a tablet on my home wifi, I took a leap of faith and ordered one of the last ones nearby. Picked it up yesterday.

Key points:

-Very satisfied with the performance so far, no noticable lag on home wifi. Finished Spider-Man 2 and beat the final boss on it, also tried some shooters, no issues with lag in single player games on my 500 Mbit network (meaning: maybe a partial second of stutter every 5-10 mins).

-So much smoother experience than using e.g. my tablet with a controller. Just pick it up, press 2 buttons, and you can play in a few seconds.

-The screen is also better than expected. 8 inches is super big for a handheld, around the size of the iPad mini. Very immersive, when playing. Colors are also great, and I’m saying that as an owner of an LG OLED TV. Of course an OLED screen would have been probably better, but also more expensive, and the resolution is still better than most handhelds giving us a great picture.

-The controller grips are very comfortable for even a longer session. The haptic feedback and trigger resistance feels just like the controller we are used to.

-The missing BT is annoying if you have a good headset (I don’t), but I understand the concerns with delay, though I have no personal experience on that.

-The only time connection became bad, is when downloading a game/update on my PS5 while playing, it even completely dropped once. Very annoying if you want to run an update in the background, but also not a dealbreaker, you can just run updates in rest mode.

-The price is fine, payed 219 EUR for it. I would like it a bit lower, but still okay with it (understanding the privilege that I can waste this money on something that is far from a necessity). I would not want to pay the price of a “proper” handheld for a controller with a screen.

I stopped using reddit when Apollo went down, and 2-3 hours of scrolling and active posting in some niche subs turned into ~30 mins of Lemmy per day, which I find much more healthy.

I didn’t start doing yoga, painting, or a side business, just feel much better having cut back the last big pillar of my social media addiction.

So thanks Steve!

(If it’s not too much to ask, please take a look at how you could improve instagram, you could save another 15 minute of my day)
