There’s always too many people when you ask a person like this about the population, but never enough people when you ask the same person the same question but include skin color in the question. F everyone who whines about population.

Scumbag CEO.

Other countries don’t have this problem, most picked other voting forms than “first past the post”, which over time destroyed our ability to have more than two actual serious political parties. So both those parties get overtaken by ethically dubious people, overtly for the entire republican party, and subtly with the establishment democrats, and it all collapses.

Every unreal engine game runs like dogshit for no reason because of stupid shareholder-hype features nobody but epic understands how to use or how to optimize for. I’m so sick of it.

I’ll never get over the horrible way Bethesda handled Prey 2. Bought it up, strung the devs at human head studios along towards bankruptcy in a hostile takeover bid, then shut it all down, gave the trademark to arkane’s system/bio shock spiritual successor, and basically erased the old game by virtue of it not being able to be sold any more.

I wanted the stupid alien bounty hunter fps, I didn’t want 50+ hours of stupid black goo aliens pretending to be tea cups. I’m biased and salty, I know prey 2017 is a fine game, but I don’t really care.

A guy at my work is like this. He ended up being the only person I spoke to irl that actually went off on the bullshit immigrants-eating-cats-and-dogs thing that mango mussolini was screeching about a while back. Had another unasked-for immigrant conversation the other day when he butted in on my break time. Fucking hate people like this, I just want the guy to get the hint to shut the fuck up and leave me alone.

AI article maybe? It’s rambly and doesn’t really have a point to make.

So real. Related, JK Rowling can go take a long walk off a short pier.

I played the beta weekend, I liked it. I want to play it again once it’s out in June, although there were annoying parts. The sun gives you heat stroke or something as a status meter, and it makes you dehydrate faster until you get to shade. With how often you’re out doing stuff in the sun, it was kind of annoying, because I just had to keep going on blood harvesting trips through NPC camps, to proccess it at my base to keep my water stocked. But in the full game with better tech unlocked, I’m sure it ends up being fine.

A lot of people also got pissed at the sandworm because if you get eaten, all your stuff is destroyed with no way to recover it (unlike a normal death where you can loot your corpse), and sometimes it can feel abrupt when they breach. That said, I never got eaten ny the sandworm in my ~15 hours of play during the beta.

Palm-sized AI-generated baby cow :D

Advertising is garbage.

In the past, I had dual booted windows and linux (Ubuntu, I believe), and eventually, windows managed to screw with the bootloader and brick the install. Never tried dual booting again. Windows VM on Linux is a much better solution.

On a random day in either January or February, I just decided I was fed up with windows and microsoft and installed linux Mint. While not problem-free, the experience was rather pleasant. I might make a Windows VM for the few things that I can’t get working on linux, but at the same time, I just kind of don’t want to bother. Now, when I read about windows getting worse, I don’t have to worry about myself, and that’s a huge relief.

Also, Skyblivion is a mod for Skyrim, so as long as it’s a legit copy, Bethesda still made money off you at some point anyway. That probably helps a bit, too.

Worse isn’t really the appropriate word. It’s more dated mechanically than Skyrim, but it also has some interesting game mechanics to that ended up cut from Skyrim, like spellcrafting. In terms of story, it’s got one of the most interesting DLCs the series has had to date, Shivering Isles, and a lot of other decent questlines in the base game and other DLC areas. Worst parts of the remaster are probably just poor optimization for UE5, so it can often run like crap on PC, and of course, all the existing design issues and bugs that Oblivion already had from its original iteration, because the original engine and game logic is still all there and what was principally changed was the UI, the graphics renderer, and some quality of life stuff here and there.

People? Read? Never.

I love these

I don’t think so, but if one isn’t already familiar, I don’t know how one can figure out what the phrases mean, without looking them up or being told.

Since it’s stuck in a loop, maybe its conditions are somehow being reset to fresh and hot as it’s pulled over the panel edge. Or else, that thing is ice cold, rock hard, and completely inhospitable to microbial life, since from its perspective, it’s probably been looping for a long, long time.

I think it wouldn’t really taste that interesting, because it’s only meant to be used as a standardized point of comparison for other manufacturers when they’re testing batches of their own products. I recall NileRed did a video making cookies out of a bunch of standard reference ingredients, and I don’t remember if he said at the end they were bland or awful, but he didn’t like them. The reference stuff simply isn’t meant for eating or for use in cooking.
