I’m pretty sure you got wooshed lol, New World Order was the wrestling group Hulk Hogan was a part of

I think so, yes. I think the Earth would generally be a better place if we had never evolved.

I actually really liked the setting and artstyle, but god yeah I do not understand why that combat system needed to be the way it was. It put me off playing the sequel, because I just didn’t want to suffer through the most godawful shooting combat of any game I’ve played this decade for another 40 hours.

Wasn’t this the same studio who gave us Max Payne? How have they been making third person shooters for like two decades and still mess it up?

I know the natural explanation is coincidence, but those etsy witches cursed Charlie Kirk and he died only like a week or two later. I like to believe magic does exist.

You’ll never actually get studies “proving” this in a scientific sense, unfortunately, because there’s really no way to design an ethical experiment. You can’t force one group to take homeopathic treatments vs another group receiving medical care, just as you can’t force one group to take vaccines while another doesn’t.

That being said, there are longitudinal studies demonstrating the rates of autism amongst vaccinated individuals and I wouldn’t be surprised if someone had done a similar study regarding medical outcomes for people who take homeopathic treatments. It’s just that scientists will never call that “proof” because the bar is very high, and media will always conflate that with “the jury is still out who knows what’s right” because they’re profit hungry bastards.

That’s a fair difference, but do you think the controversy wouldn’t exist if there was the same degree of separation? I’m pretty sure people would take umbrage with the comedians at the festival as long as it was hosted in Saudia Arabia, irregardless of who ultimately pays for it.

I can’t help but feel like a lot of the controversy is fueled by Islamaphobia. Like, would anyone be caring if these comics were going to a Budapest comedy festival? Hell, the United States is currently killing citizens, but I’ve not seen any pushback regarding any American comedy festivals. It just seems strange that the autocratic nation critics seem to have the most issues with happens to be Middle-Eastern.

Personally, I’m in the same boat as you. Saudia Arabia has already stepped in to help prop up too much of the media my parents help produce, and it’d be hypocritical of me to claim that this festival is a bridge too far.

I really, truly, seriously hate modern implementations of AI and am willing to make concessions in my life to avoid using it. Windows 11 forcing Copilot was my last straw for using Microsoft.

Did you know YouTube has games now? They load near instantly, easily accessible on mobile or desktop, and they’re p much all shit. Most of them are basically generic asset flips or imitations of popular mobile games. I really can’t think of anything closer to cheap fast food.

Cool, hope they get treated just as nicely as all those studios EA acquired throughout the years.

Oh god, I love the anime but yeah I can understand that their super loosey-goosey style of episodes would be p bad if you wanted super detailed organizing. The place I’ve been watching them just groups the content into a single episode, since they effectively are broadcast as one single piece, just with (potentially) multiple chapters.

It’s weird because at the time I remember feeling like a big loser and like I was really wasting my youth, but looking back yeah. I had a ton of friends, was often out doin drugs with my bros, lost my virginity to both sexes, had the lead role in our theater club, had a kickass job as a lifeguard… kinda the stereotypical “cool kid” high school life.

Kinda a damn shame looking back because I was so depressed and abused by my parents that I couldn’t enjoy it.

Gonna be real, I haven’t had to bother with my OS for the past two months, so I disagree with a lot of this post. The take I disagree with the most is that things that would be difficult regardless of OS are somehow “harder” in Linux though. Getting old games to run on Windows is also a massive PITA, and oftentimes can be easier on Linux since you can always just run a WINE instance using whatever version of Windows the game was originally intended for. Same for old obscure software, anything from like the XP era does not play nice with Windows 11 in my experience. It sounds like the bigger issue is that you have learned a lot about Windows, and haven’t learned a lot about Linux, so your knowledge base for Windows is better.

The actual issue I think is huge for your hypothetical “middle user” is hardware based. Some hardware is just better for running high performance applications on Linux than others. In my fancy, shiny, top of the line rig, my experience in getting games to work is I download them and run them with Proton. I’ve done no troubleshooting, barely use any applications other than Steam for gaming, and so far have not found a game I wanna play that doesn’t work. On my old Nvidia-based rig that I replaced, however, it was the exact opposite story. Nothing ever worked, I was constantly looking through error logs and trying to troubleshoot, and most of the time the answer was hardware that wasn’t properly supported.

If your hope is to find a woman who would want to date you, I’d be willing to bet this would be the single greatest screen you could ask for. Anyone who isn’t interested probably isn’t worth your time

From the reviews I’ve seen, it actually seems like they listened to complaints about three and have toned down the cringey dialogue.

Of course, nobody can get the damn thing to run, so hard to independently verify, but it seems like this entry was meant to be a triumphant return to form, far closer to BL2 in tone and style than BL3.

It’ll maybe be worth checking out once the inevitable Game of the Year edition goes on heavy discount in like four years.

As much as I would like to be friendly, I live in America. The reality of the situation is that a lot of the people who will survive the initial hardship are going to be conservative preppers who currently try to deny my right to exist. There’s no way I could be friendly with them, just as I would not expect them to be able to be friendly with me.

Hey, I’m one of those! Started using Bazzite in July, have absolutely fallen in love. My whole gaming library is available, which has been a real first for me with Linux.

Honestly? Yeah so far. I swapped to Bazzite after getting a new AMD rig in early July. There was a little bit of setup for the first few weeks, but it’s worked perfectly for the whole last month.

I did have many, many issues on my last computer when I was on an Nvidia card though. My impressions are that Linux can be very hardware dependent, and Nvidia is kinda notorious for not supporting their hardware.

It’s really hard, but it’s been consistently like 90-95 degrees outside and I don’t have A/C. Kinda had to get used to sleeping with a fan blowing directly on me. I still miss my blanket though, as soon as the fall comes I will return to burrito.

because the alternatives are unconscionable. Consumerist capitalist mono-culture is going to eat its own tail and kill everyone in the process.

I do think theory is a very good way to recruit people. When the facts are presented fairly, rational people will not choose capitalism.
