I ended up making a rather large amount of purchases from GOG: the entire catalog for Prince of Persia, Crysis, Crysis Warhead, Vaporum, Hotline Miami 2, and Men of War: Assault Squad.

I hope you feel better soon Perfect Dark!

Looks like the hat would fit this guy:

Wow just when I thought Borderlands 4 couldn’t get any worse, they just keep piling on the disappointment. Thanks for giving me even more reasons to consider this franchise dead to me!

Few words are dirtier to Republicans than “nationalize”. They must be torn between following their god-emperor’s hurt feelings and allowing Musk’s company to be taken over by the government. The best I see them doing is cancelling all contracts and subsidies with SpaceX/Tesla and passing them off to its competitors.

I’m not saying other benefits aren’t there, it’s just that we know a lot of regulatory agencies are being severely cut so it’s gonna be less apparent soon enough. I’m in one of the higher tax brackets so aside from unemployment insurance, a lot of safety nets that require means testing are essentially inaccessible to me as well. Frankly it’s a miracle American society is still functioning even with so many tax cuts for corporations and the rich.

I pay roughly 30% of my gross income in th US. The only tangible benefit I get from it is the ability to drive on free roads on my way to work to earn more taxable income. I only wish my money didn’t go to subsidize the rich and make bombs to blow kids up on the other side of the planet.

Good. I never trusted those integrated apps and thought of them as spyware. Mozilla should go back to focusing on making a lean browser and whatever apps they want to offer should be optional instead of hard coded into their flagship product.

Some races and classes are way too imbalanced and basically break the game.

You wouldn’t want to keep such old equipment connected to a network anyway. That’s only inviting trouble down the line.

Oh Sainz I had hopes for you this season…

Most recently it’s Clair Obscur Expedition 33. There’s an actual overworld map but you need to get your bearings in area maps and dungeons because there are none. You’ll have to use local landmarks to get around, find clues for hidden areas, and the direction you actually need to go. I’ve spent hours in single areas just getting lost admiring the design and artwork.

14TB RAID1 setup reporting in.

Ubuntu sometime around 2010. It definitely wasn’t what I was looking for so I didn’t try another distro until 3 years ago. Linux Mint’s working well for me but I’m curious about Bazzite.

Younger wall punchers don’t have the foresight to put on protective gloves smh.

Considering how badly Nvidia’s been pricing their dGPUs, the market’s ripe for a low cost alternative to fill a niche for years to come.

All these jokes about guillotines is getting old. Either shit or get off the pot.

Too bad there isn’t a company out there that focuses on making privacy respecting goods like TVs, washing machines, and cars. I’d buy all their offerings.

It works remarkably well for a lot of things if you put a little effort into it. Depending on the distro, you might have a little more trouble trying to fix something. For my use case it can do gaming, CAD, office work, and some light programming just fine with some quirks and tradeoffs. Lemmy in general is a good place to ask troubleshooting questions too

Thanks for the new post! Looks like I’ll be avoiding the Switch 2 due to their steep price jump. There’s gotta be an upper limit on what even Nintendo fanboys would pay just to play an updated Mario Kart or new Zelda game, especially in this economy.

The closest thing we’ll see for that kind of legislation is when BYD inevitably makes it to the US. Even then they might word it to say all data traffic from cars would have to go to US servers. These piece of shit politicians work for the data harvesting ghouls, after all.
