I’ll eat my shoe if a PC under $1000 will be able to play GTA VI even halfway decently when it comes to the platform. My handheld PC is nominally way more powerful than my Series S, but I’m lucky to get half the performance out of it because the Series S gets a bespoke treatment from devs to make it work well.
The sold.oit because they’re not making them in any mind of volume because the components are either super expensive or, increasingly, simply not being manufacturered.
The gaming industry is quickly approaching a huge cliff. The user base is almost impossible to grow at these prices, and as existing consoles/PCs die, the current crop of customers won’t be able to buy replacements.
The bloodshed we’ve seen over the past 2-3 years in the gaming industry is nothing compared to what’s coming if hardware prices don’t come back down.

I drive 90 minutes to work. I’m on a city worker salary.
A good city-worker salary - hence the willingness to drive 90 minutes - but nowhere near enough to be a resident.
Going digital-only is absolutely going to be more profitable for Sony. It’s why they aren’t backing down on this at all. There’s simply no business case for keeping physical games alive.
That’s not his home address. But news about his home in the area has made it to the news in recent years due to a dispute he had with the city, and since it ended up going to public hearings there was a public notification requirement regarding the address.
Yes. But I actually find Inkscape to be better. On vectors with especially high numbers of vertices (e.g. contour map exports from QGIS), Illustrator just gives up while Inkscape chugs right along.
I have the Adobe Suite and I still use Inkscape more often than Illustrator.
She’s a POS, but I also think she was a true believer. She went to Washington wanting to expose a cabal of political and business elites that were raping children. She found it, and when it turned out to be her own party she was told to shut up and pretend it didn’t exist. When she continued calling for accountability, the machine she had been part of turned on her.
My hope is that the regular people who supported her see what happened and realize they’ve been duped by the Epstein class and fallen into a dark pit of fear, hate, and prejudice.
We can’t simply write-off half the country. We need to give them the chance to learn from their mistakes and move forward.
And, to be clear, forgivejustice. everyday voters who were misled doesn’t require compromise. And those who planned or actually took part in the attrocities (ICE and CBP goons, members of the military who followed illegal orders, politicians, business leaders, etc) must face jutice.
They apparently sponsored a maker who prints guns, which is the justification.
Still stupid for a mountain of reasons, not least of which is that 3D printing guns is perfectly legal in many places.
Saudi Arabia can’t go after the companies that sell oak barrels to Jack Daniels because alcohol is illegal there.
If you aren’t taking advantage of the free samples you’re missing out, bud.
At this point I don’t think GIMP will ever have a competent UI. All the people contributing to it are those who like working with GIMP and don’t actually want a massive UI overhaul.
But just opening a ficking folder with lots of large image files in it alone makes GIMP nearly unusable for me. I don’t love waiting 2 minutes to name and save a fucking document.
Having used both for years, Photoshop is a better product by miles. It’s not even close.
Inkscape, QGIS, Blender, OBS, Jellyfin - there’s lots of FOSS products that go toe-to-toe against the commercial stuff.
GIMP is not one of them.
Some datacenters could be repurposed as traditional datacenters focused on networking and cloud storage, infrastructure.
The administration is planning on a public execution live-streamed online. The person being executed is a former Army major and psychiatrist who killed 13 people in a mass shooting at Fort Hood Army Base in Texas back in 2009.
The condemned is a monster, but this is a test case for more public executions. They’re bringing back public lynchings.
They’ve taken over the Late Stage Capitalism community and have started banning comments that say voting against the GOP is a good thing.
It’s not that they don’t expect there to be Greek food or that they won’t want to eat Greek food. It’s that Americans used to having a huge variety of food available, and may need to be warned that they will not have that available.
I can get pretty much any style cuisine (my choice betweem authentic or Americanized version) for lunch any day. I could have Bao on Monday, Schnitzel on Tuesday, Tikka Masala on Wednesday, Carne Guisada on Thursday, and Injera on Friday all without having to travel more than 5 minutes.
And it’s not just urban areas. Even the tiny backwoods town my parents live in has country cooking, Mexican, Chinese, and Italian restaurants (though the Chinese and Italian are really bad)
I don’t think it’s that tricky. If someone intends their art to be divisive and evil, and after their death it’s repurposed for good I consider it a win against that evil.
If Rowling wasn’t still making money and causing harm, I’d be all about celebrating and expanding the Harry Potter series in a manner that incorprates messages of inclusion.
Some armed, masked goon refusing to show ID trespasses on my property I’m not gonna greet them politely.
I wouldn’t go that far. It’s an enclave for the mega-rich. I don’t live there - literally every household is millionaires or better.
That’s one of the hobbies they look for with potential recruits.
Torturing animals in childhood is a sign that someone is more likely to become be a serial killer or a cop.
