On one hand, I think some data is better than no data, so I think its fair to say that there is a lack of evidence for it being better in terms of in-game performance after setup based on it and that should just be the null assumption anyways.

On the other hand, its been over a decade since its been pretty well known that average FPS is not necessarily reflective of overall performance and throwing the frametime data into a spreadsheet and doing =percentile([range],.99) and =percentile([range],.999) and then dragging it to neighboring cells seems like a pretty minimal extra work for a commercialized channel. For niche testing like this, I’m less bothered by it because having some results seems better than nothing, but its still nice to see it pointed out.

And you don’t need to re:build green spaces to decarify. But you probably should.

Strats against bosses, how to obtain good items, etc

Also, lots of people really care about Souls story for some reason.

My current phone is almost 3.5 years old and I have no intention on upgrading anytime soon, but in the past I did tend to have to replace a phone about every two years. Mostly because POGO (and my being rough with them). Ports being damaged (and me not knowing how to repair them myself and others wanting to charge the cost of a new phone to repair it), being dropped, etc.

Mint broke all the time for me last time i tried using it. After reinstalling it for like the 8th time, I just decided to take a break from Linux. This was like 6 years ago though.

My largest single DSP file size is about 300MB, and that’s small compared to some people who have CPUs that can handle the end-game grind. Or just use sails, because they’re apparently an unoptimized mess.

I think 70% of the recent posts seem onion-y or would be if it were claiming any other person except a handful of people who regularly say things that I’d have assumed were the Onion pre-Trump.

The Onion has generally been political, with a bias towards US politics, and Not the Onion is for news… so the posts should generally be political news mixed with some lighthearted nonsense news.

Also, one of the less oniony stories is one I upvoted without realizing where it was posted just because it seemed funny and it was one of the non-political news stories.

Solo 401ks are where you’re the employer (guess technically there’s some wiggle room for others to be in your 401k, but from the perspective of such a person, wouldn’t it just be a normal 401k?). So you have to report it yourself. The brokerage firm holding it won’t.

They know what you owe so long as you didn’t have expenses to apply for that they couldn’t assume or know about

Solo 401ks/IRA also wouldn’t be something they know about until you file if I understand correctly. Guess you could that expenses?

If you click “more” and then “activity”, its listed in the “reduces” tab. Kbin only includes kbin downvotes though, which is why downvotes look so rare on kbin.

Sometimes people miss-tap while scrolling. Also, on kbin at least, you can who downvote things if they’re on kbin. I think if you run your own instance, as an admin you can see who as well?

From my understanding, its only that bad with windows XP without any service packs, with firewall disabled, and without using any sorta of router that would also have security measures built in. I don’t think its even reproducible on XP SP1, much less 7 or 10.

Of course I’d be surprised if there weren’t people who stockpiled vulnerabilities in the leadup to the discontinuation of windows 10 security updates, so seems like a good idea to update if it has an internet connection.

Hopefully better VR support on Linux becomes a thing in the near-future. From my understanding, non-VR games are generally pretty good nowadays (bar a few games with extremely invasive anti-cheat malware that you probably shouldn’t be running anyways), but VR is still lagging behind.

On one hand, the lawsuit seems nonsensical. OTOH, if a jury decided to side with individuals suing a major companies like Activision regardless of the specifics of the case, I certainly wouldn’t blame them.

Wish we would stop using fonts don’t think make a clear differences between I and l.

Forgot to mention I got it used, so should be comparing it to used consoles (PS5 looks like its still about $300 for digital edition, but doesn’t really matter since the subscription is most of the cost anyways), so a used switch would actually be cheaper.

£83.99 a year In USD, the most expensive plan is $160/year. The basic plan is $80/year. Over the lifespan of the console, the basic plan plus the console itself comes out to about $1K. Already more expensive than a basic gaming PC (and much more expensive than a steamdeck). If you were gonna be getting a basic computer anyways, you could probably get a pretty reasonably high-end gaming PC with that extra money.

If the only thing you care about is the up-front costs, then consoles are cheaper, but at least in the US, that’s not really true in the long-term (except for the switch) if you want basic online access. Especially if you are are going to own a decent computer regardless of whether you game or not. Personally, the only difference I would make between my current computer set-up if I didn’t also play games is I wouldn’t have upgraded my 9 year old GPU for $250 (3060ti*), which is cheaper than even a switch without accounting subscriptions costs (which is relatively reasonably priced at $20/year and a lot of the games I’d be interested in if it weren’t for Nintendo are primarily games I’d want to play offline anyways, so the subscription isn’t really that important anyways but the games like like $60/each…).

*edit: used. So a used switch would actually be cheaper as long as you don’t get a few years of subscription or buy like 2 games.

can’t buy in. As in the games aren’t available in Japan via Steam. Original title gave the impression that they were locked to only be available in Japan.

At least we get other domesticated Caniformia (the “dog-like” suborder), just no domesticated Ursidae (bear family) specifically.

Maybe if they UK provided prescriptions to people in a timely manner, people wouldn’t resort to other means of getting their medical treatment.

I think I had someone ask why I was necroing something because I had responded to something that had been posted earlier that or the night before. Maybe it was older than 24 hours, but regardless it was a weird experience.
