YouTuber LGR felt 'numbness at how powerless I was' as his one-of-a-kind retro PC collection took a direct hit from hurricane Helene, but seeing most of the trove survive now has him eager to share it : games

[-] Facebones@reddthat.com 4 points 7 months ago

I have no clue how he's this quickly been able to have such a positive attitude and sense of humor about it. I'd be despondent in his shoes.

I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised; Clint always brings such enthusiasm and positivity to his videos. He's a go-to when I'm sick. He's like chicken noodle soup in video form.

[-] Hyrulian@lemmy.world 38 points 7 months ago

Can we talk about how he is directing people to not donate to him, but instead donate to help others in his area. Absolute Chad.

Poor Clint... That must have been heartbreaking to see.

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 7 months ago

That fucking Lamborghini laptop really hurts goddamnit.

[-] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 7 points 7 months ago

Oh, that's heartbreaking.

[-] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

That hurts in the same way as the time I saw someone on reddit say that an early 3d printer fire burnt their house down... and their cat.

[-] BrundleFly2077@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago

WTF. That took a turn. Poor moggy. I wonder now what he was printing.

my wife won’t live in a house with any trees within striking distance. i can see why

[-] mtchristo@lemm.ee 0 points 7 months ago

Your problem are not falling trees, but flimsy houses! A concrete or steel structure would have cut that tree in half. The roof tile would have been damaged but that's cheaper to fix.

[-] jdeath@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

can't say i would argue! but when all the houses are that way, i can't really buy a concrete/steel construction house in any normal price range

He's a thought: move away from hurricane territory. Seriously, wtf is wrong with people. You live in a disaster-prone region.

[-] Legonatic@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months ago

Here's a thought: You're not very nice

[-] Default_Defect@midwest.social 7 points 7 months ago

Being nice would have prevented the hurricane(s). surely.

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world -4 points 7 months ago

Actually it would since if you're nice you aren't going to fuck up the planet so much that it isn't livable anymore.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world -4 points 7 months ago

Never said I was.

[-] kill_dash_nine@lemm.ee 9 points 7 months ago

So you’re saying Asheville, NC is hurricane territory?

[-] SuperIce@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

The people affected by Helene aren't in hurricane territory
