I’ve got so many layers of adblock it’s hard to know which one(s) are responsible for blocking the ads.

Dang, was hoping for the new Doom. I refuse to play it with Denurvo, but I don’t trust anything out there.

Remote-only companies existed before, during, and continue existing after COVID. And those companies have new people as well. Perhaps you’re right and that it’s harder to ask questions on slack as a newbie (although I believe it’s completely up to personal taste) but is that worth all the benefits of remote work?

I believe it’s not.

I have hopes from these reviews, although I do wonder how much of the score improvement is due to From Software’s new reputation.

Unplayable mess? I never said that. However, more than a few people had game-breaking bugs in Skyrim and had to restart or hope they had a save from far enough back.

Obviously Skyrim was playable enough since it was an immediate critical success. I can’t really speak for fallout 4 since I never played it and didn’t bother following the news for it.

That being said, there are memes older than some people on lemmy equating Bethesda and bugs. They’ve earned their reputation, but good and bad.

Yeah, but their kids don’t get to choose not to have shithead parents.

I somehow doubt Austin needed this. Meanwhile, I’m posting this via an ancient DSL connection that barely functions.

I’m excited for Starfield but buying a Bethesda game on release week is probably a bad idea. Let them get a few patches out first.

Assuming Armored Core is as polished as many of these reviews suggest, it might be a great game to tide me over until then.

Eh, I kinda doubt this will be his last mugshot. Although I guess the first will still be most famous.

I thought the advantage of carpooling was saving money on gas and car maintenance. Also, environment.

Probably because they wouldn’t see a dime of revenue from this. It would be a new law that just says they have to do it. At best, they would be allowed to pass the costs to customers somehow, likely through our plate registrations at the DMV.

It’s basically a no win for the car companies. Lots of ill will, increased chance of litigation, increased costs for building cars, all for nothing.

In fact, I bet the car companies lobbyists are the reason we don’t have this already.

Your highschool government class should have covered this. A pure popular vote system is essentially mob rule, and mobs are fucking idiots. The idea is that you vote people into office that are smart, that are trained, that are the best of us.

Is it? I don’t remember seeing a guy running for Congress that promised he’d prevent huge corporations from running rough shod over everything.

People like saying stuff like “just vote better”, but the fact is the vast majority of people that run for any office are pro-big business because that’s their background and the lobbyists give them lots of money to get elected. Where’s the anti-big business guy going to get his money to run? And without money, you sure aren’t winning.

Through lobbying, corporations have us all by the balls. It doesn’t matter what side of the isle you’re on; both sides have basically been endorsed by big money.

Eh, you’ll still need something that allows you to search for a file/torrent and gives you a hash or magnet. Right?

Lol, that’s fair. If I would have spent significant hours researching all the changes and the new config files, I probably could have had a better time.

However, around that time I decided that dist-upgrades were: 1) for the birds, and 2) like Windows in that it’s easier & better to wipe and reinstall.

I feel like the people that perpetuate this meme have never used Arch. I’ve ran it on multiple computers for just over a decade and only once have I had an issue. And that one time, it was my fault. It’s been the most solid OS I’ve used.

Meanwhile, my headless Ubuntu server couldn’t do a dist-upgrade without shitting all over itself. I only ran Ubuntu because of the constant “never use Arch for servers” talk. I wish I had never listened to that. Everything I own runs Arch now and it’s so nice.

Yet another reason to never get into some rich guy’s custom submarine.

Jesus Christ, did Microsoft rename Lync again?!

With what money?

I know spez is running it into the ground, but it was valued at $10b last funding round. I don’t think he’s got the liquid capital after blowing it all on Twitter.
