I remember finally meeting esquie and being bummed that there was no option to just chill with my big puffy friend and watch tv.

There’s a chance I’d still have a windows install alongside Linux, if windows would just mind its own business.

I have 5 generations of PlayStation consoles, i probably won’t have the 6th.

ITT: OP learns why reviewers take days to provide benchmarks for games. If you don’t come with receipts, it’s death by a thousand buts.

Well hold on now.

That’s basically exactly what happened during the RAM cartel of the early 2000’s. I think one guy went to jail for like 6 months, but other than that, yeah.

I mean, they’ve been around for 35 years and they do something like 5 billion USD a year in revenue. I think they’re going to be fine.

I don’t necessarily want this iteration of Epic to be fine, but I’m sure they will be

So Trump is tanking the economy and burning through cash so bad he has to take money from people without jobs.

But why? Arguably, the only thing missing from bg1/2 enhanced editions are controller support, other then that they’re perfectly playable.

I mean, if you can handle 2e, which many people can’t.

I mean, that was a solid cpu, but damn.

This was supposed to be my upgrade cycle. I built our PC’s in 2021, and i tend to upgrade every 5 years. Between the pricing and industry collapse, and just plain having more fun with low spec games, i don’t know how long it’s going until i upgrade again.

Win 11 feels like i replaced by SSD with an HDD. I’m half convinced that they’re making it as awful as possible so when the whole OS as a service thing arrives, it’ll feel super snappy.

I don’t support the use of AI tools in general, but i have a soft spot for long-term maintainers. These people generally don’t have enough support for this to be a full-time hobby, and when a project becomes popular the pressure is massive.

If the community wont step up to take the burden off the maintainer, but they still want active development, what can you do? As long as the program continues to be high quality, i cant complain about a free thing.

I used to really dig Linus, i watched from NCIX up until a few years ago. I stopped watching for a bunch of reasons. I remember when he said one of the things he wanted to do when starting a company was ensure everyone that worked for him could “afford a house”, then to see how he treated people and kept them at low wages was a bummer.

I mean, i guess when you grow that big that fast some things get left out, but i also feel like maybe exponential growth isn’t always a necessity?

Also it seems like he’s one of the only personalities online that has not increased in technical ability at all.

Do I want another option in the desktop CPU space? YES

Do I want that option to be Nvidia? NOPE

I have some ideas about this, I’ve been rocking a moto RAZR with a clicks keyboard for a few months. I do maybe 80-90% of my phone time on the external screen which does great for music/audiobook selection, emails and Feeder/Summit, but apps that capitalize on longscreen scrolling like Instagram, tiktok, Facebook are a terrible, infuriating mess to use. I think they’re leaning into the square screen format for the keyboard, and using the marketability of “less doom scrolling” to try and net people who feel they want to get away from the apps.

I limit myself to one or two “new full price” purchases a year, and it’s usually games from known devs i want to support that I’m excited about.

Hey look how about some sympathy for the gun owner here? He accidentally pointed a loaded weapon at a loved one while having a heated argument, and the gun felt scared and accidentally went off! By accident!

Really, that poor gun owner might be scared to point a loaded weapon at a loved one again! Don’t victim blame the poor owner!

Your dad adopted a cat.

That’s awesome! I had to side load it and it was such a pain in the ass i just bought a Chromecast.

Between a poor BluRay copy and a good DVD copy, the DVD always wins out.
