You Know What Grinds My Gears? - Things that personally piss you off

[Alabaster Disaster]

they are doing that to video games as well, and it looks retarded and not at all like video games looked back in the day, vaporwave is literal cancer

Zoomers and younger millennials often have no idea that video games looked completely different on a CRT monitor, compared to modern hi def screens. Some art and effects even deliberately took advantage of pixel blurring/blending.

GTA: San Andreas on the PS2 being a great example of CRT over HD.

Prioritizing graphics over gameplay is a bad design choice.

 

[Nonconsentual Pronouns]

I really goddamn hate trying to play Phantom Kingdom on modern TVs because the video display is so poor that it hurts the shit out of my eyes really quickly. It's not even a matter of the pixels being 'too crisp' or anything like that, it really looks like the opposite. My old/good save data for it is obviously on a PS2 card and the game never got ported outside of Japan, so I'm just SOL, I guess. (No, I'm not going to punish my ears with Japanese voice clips from my troops.)

When you meticulously read through your post to check for spelling or grammatical errors only to immediately find several the second after you post it.

Millennials that don't know how to use contractions, resulting in "could of/should of/would of" instead of "could've/should've/would've".
Boomers and Gen-Xers using ellipses everywhere because they think it makes them look intellectual or deep.
Absolute morons that spell "loser" as "looser".
Infantile smoothbrains that need to frame everything in the context of their preferred children's media.
The current plague of news articles that has forsaken the paragraph completely so every single sentence is double spaced from the previous, often with some annoying ad or other non-sequitur filling the gap. Bonus points if the text is just a copy paste of a social media screenshot just above or below it.
Assholes at work that have 8 line breaks in their Outlook signature and have that goddamn line about which fucking phone their using.
The other assholes at work that copy text from those emails and include that shit in the fucking records being updated. WHY?

I.... Don't.... Know... What... You're.... Talking.... About....
Also FUCK the boomers online who "end" a rant they're typing with ".....PERIOD!" several times.

Absolute morons that spell "loser" as "looser".

And the ones who spell "heroin" as "heroine".

How the slugs in my garden kept eating the sprouts of my sunflowers. Those things take 100 days to bloom and those slimy bastards kept eating them after they had been planted for like a week. Next season I'm giving them all beer baths and salt showers.

People who say something is 'addicting' instead of addictive grind my fucking gears. Even saw that work its way into Yakuza: Like a Dragon's localization.

 

[Stanley the Gay Wizard]

Bottomizers, even though I am a top. if you are a bottomizer, gay or lesbian, you disgust me.

I don't see the big deal with that one. I think it should be accepted as another spelling just like glycerin and glycerine.

 

[Local Fed]

I don't see the big deal with that one. I think it should be accepted as another spelling just like glycerin and glycerine.

But glycerin/glycerine is referring to the same thing. Heroin is a drug, a heroine is a specific kind of woman.

Trust me, it is not just millennials that do this.

I just fucking hate YouTube, and Google as a whole these days. YT in particular has become completely sanitized and bland in recent years. The site is just unrecognizable now and it's just depressing. Like a lot of people, it's thanks to YouTube that I discovered the Internet and it pisses me off to see all the good stuff disappear.

True but some English words can have more than one meaning...you would know from the rest of the sentence if it was supposed to mean the girl hero or the drug.

Youtube's slogan used to be "Broadcast Yourself." I remember when uploads would just be anybody with a camera and a gimmick. Now it's so corporate, it's filled with clickbait, scripted content and spam.

And don't even get me started on their flawed copyright system.

Pitbull attacks. I would say they're one of the few animals that cannot be domesticated as pets.

I want to kill people who use that shitty clapping emoji. Any time someone uses that someone should show up and slap them in reality.

I'll take you at your word, but I haven't witnessed it personally. I do believe you, though.
