“would you rather have nothing to eat, or poison?”
If you eat nothing, maybe you can figure out a better solution with your remaining time. If you eat poison, you’re probably going to be too sick (or dead) to improve things.
Trump is poison.
Also Biden did improve some things, so it’s less “nothing” and more “some crackers”. Sure, a full meal would be better.
t’s not stupidity, it was a clear option between something the American people know does not work, and something that might work.
There is no reasonable expectation that Trump would “work” for anyone outside of some very wealthy and grifters. So, yes, voting for Trump is stupid.
Accelerationists can fuck off.
Satire is dead. Unfortunately, this guy somehow survives despite his best efforts to get sick.
as an almost maximally privileged person (cis straight etc), i want my whining fellows to shut the fuck up. Just stop. Stop taking up all the god damn space. Just be quiet. It’s okay not to be included in every scene all the time.
Your point about not assuming people are straight by default is valid. But I mostly just want some cis-het folks to stop embarrassing me by being fucking insufferable.
A dark souls kind of slow paced combat game, but built for co-op. Except I don’t have any friends who are on the same skill level and schedule.
More broadly, I really want more games that you can play co-op in where the players are vastly different skill levels, but it’s still fun. I don’t know how to solve this.
I can imagine like a game where one person is playing dark souls and the other is playing candy crush, and they interact somehow. Like making matches in one give estus in the other, and killing bosses gives stuff.
Basically I want to play games with my frienda that don’t play the same games, somehow.
I failed calc2 and am gainfully employed as a mid/upper level software engineer.
One guy at work really saved the day because he’s good at math, and made a very slow process much faster because he knows … uh… vector math? He did magic with numpy
It was okay.
Didn’t really like the ending(s). I think one of the lead guys was like “cyberpunk can’t have happy endings”, so I guess they never read Neuromancer.
Gameplay was so-so, but I fixed some egregious problems with a mod. People who thought it was going to be life changing were living in a dream land.
Played the games. Not interested.
A new story in the setting could be good
Retelling the game sounds bad. Conveniently, the reasons why are nicely outlined in the article.
Surely there’s a couple people still working there.
Yes. And no one’s going to do anything about it.
Most people are too lazy and thoughtless to stop using it .
The engineers that work there certainly aren’t going to stage a coup.
And no one’s going to just do violence to Musk.
I switched to linux because windows 10 is going end-of-life, and I can’t upgrade to windows 11 even if I wanted to.
It’s been fine, other than some trouble getting mint to dual boot the first time.
They could make the psn account optional, and most people wouldn’t care. Make it easy to click “No thanks” once and be done. Some people would voluntarily do it because they like seeing their own stats in one place.
They could generate a unique ID for a given install and send metrics home when there’s a connection but no psn account, and most people wouldn’t even notice.
I think most of the consumer anger is coming from getting a worse experience for no gains. It makes the corporation seem unreasonable.
I don’t buy a game solely because it’s the zeitgeist or whatever. A friend of mine routinely buys games that are “the new shiny” and then doesn’t finish them, or loses interest quickly. I usually wait for a sale, some patches, and/or the dlc to be bundled into a goty edition.
Some exceptions:
I bought elden ring near launch because I’m a big enjoyer of the genre, and my friend confirmed it was good. No regrets.
I bought bg3 shortly before it’s full access. I’d liked the other games larian did, and a friend told me it was good. No regrets.
Both of those were pretty light on DLC. No season pass or “goty” editions were likely.
I’m going to wait for the dragon age game to go on sale. I don’t really trust Bioware, and I don’t know if they plan to do a bunch of dlc that will get bundled up later.
I’ve been waiting for Lies of P to get cheap. The demo was just ok when I played it, but a friend tells me it’s phenomenal.
Right now I’m playing a MUD (aardwolf). It really distills some online RPG into the essence of “go kill some stuff to level up, get new skills, and kill bigger stuff”. It’s strangely satisfying.
My understanding is XFCE is lighter weight and simpler. Little to no animations, for example.
I am extremely basic and I’m using the XFCE that came with Linux mint. I don’t need anything fancy.
I really don’t think Baldur’s gate 3 and whatever the fuck Monopoly go is are the same kind of thing.
Republican women can’t help but notice that their partisan identity conflicts with their self-image as strong and competent women. “I started to learn what misogyny was, and I started to learn what patriarchy was,”
Better late than never.
Kid is lucky the racists didn’t murder him and say that he did something to deserve it.
I hope those racist almost-murderers are ruined.
It is completely insane and regressive. Poor people who need the money to live should be spared the tax, and rich people who aren’t going to miss it should pay.
Their first pathfinder game was so excruciatingly guide dang it I never finished it, and never even considered this game. I kind of assumed it was the same way, where there’s stuff like “Ah, you didn’t return to this unmarked forest on day 7, so now you never get a wizard”
Oh, now I remember having an argument on here with some asshole who insisted I just have “fomo” over this. Sign posting and foreshadowing are only to appease fomo, I guess.
