Spontaneous

For some unknown reason, teenagers in a small town keep randomly exploding in a mess of blood and guts. The rest of the plot is a coming of age black comedy around that premise. I thought it was quite good.

They use OpenVPN for some reason. Wireguard is superior in every way. In case you set up a VPN.

But! If they outlaw man-boobs in public, we’re still one step closer to equality!

This is accurate. They don’t care about the political instability aspect, because they don’t care about making political commentary. They just don’t want to publish something that is guaranteed to get review bombed and not sell as much as it could.

I was going to say you’ll probably be fine, but if you’re considering Mint you’ll definitely be fine.

Terminology you don’t need to know: Mint is still using x11, which Nvidia works fine with. I assume mint won’t switch to Wayland until it works smoothly on Nvidia too.

My partner is using mint on a 3080. I think she had one graphical bug in one game one time after an update. Mint has a program specifically used to roll back to a past Nvidia driver. She chose the driver from before the update, rebooted, and the bug was gone. Just gotta remember to switch back to using latest later when a new driver comes out.

What part are you struggling with? Not enough content? I get it, but also that’s a feature. If you dislike centralized platforms more than you want to rot your brain, it takes zero effort.

Lol I definitely read the same thing twice. Assumed they were just repeating for emphasis. You’re right, my bad.

EoP, not PoE. Two different things.

Windows is constantly doing things I didn’t ask it to. I wanted something that didn’t do anything I didn’t ask it to.

And now you’re trying to deny it to us too! Come on OP!

But seriously, that’s so fucked on so many levels (going through your phone is fucked by itself). I’ll not assume your gender, but I’ll assume the people around you inventing Russell were heteronormative, and that this is yet another unique way in which women can be harassed that is hard for men to even wrap their head around. I’m sorry you had to deal with this, that is truly unacceptable behavior on their part.

Pausing in StarCraft allowed any player to pause, and any player to unpause. Additionally, each player could only pause a finite number of times (like 5 per game). I think this could work in nightreign.

The hard part is that there’s no chat in nightreign, so someone will pause and you have no idea if it’s legit or they’re just griefing.

There’s so much competition in gaming right now, and good AAA games are so few and far between, that I don’t see a need for piracy. For every $90 piece of garbage there are ten $20 diamonds (don’t forget Devolver in your list of good small companies). I don’t ever buy dlc/deluxe/etc editions unless the company/game has earned it (almost never).

I will admit, Rockstar creates some high quality experiences, but their monetization practices are down there with the worst of them.

I can’t justify not pirating, I just think for me the motivation isn’t strong enough right now. Too many affordable good games to choose from.

Brings me back to the days of modding Custom Edition. Good times…

I don’t know the state of it these days, but there was a shim layer for android called Magisk that had a plugin that would allow you to spoof permissions to apps. So the app thinks it has access to your location and contacts, but what they actually have is a random GPS coord and an empty list.

I want this to be how permissions control works, but apple and google have no incentive to give it to us.

Nice, I’ve been holding off on playing it until 1.0. Might have to take a Silksong break and try it out.

He wouldn’t be a billionaire if he were a good person.

But…to his credit, he did publicly say recently that he wants to have given away 99% of his wealth over the next 20y, and says he doesn’t want to die rich. I am ok with making that the bar for being remembered. Provided it’s not to his own foundation.

No one rich enough to be in Trump’s vicinity actually believes any of the glazing they do to him. They’re all executing the very basic strat for dealing with a baby man: stroke his ego -> get what you want.

As far as interacting with other sociopaths goes, my guess is trump is refreshingly simple for them.

Yes, and RFK and the right love to exploit that, telling people to “stop trusting experts and do your own research”. If everyone he’s talking to is a scientist, great. But if everyone just falls back on their own heuristics, that’s exploitable.
