Don’t forget data brokers and car manufacturers selling everyone’s personal info to insurabce companies

Idk, The Elder Scrolls’ fandom debates a lot too. There’s still people fighting over whether the Stormcloaks or the Empire were right in Skyrim, or whether Morrowind or Oblivion are the best in the series

In that order?

I would normally say that at least she’s after guys that aren’t creepy by default, but I feel that more applies to guys chasing ladies under 21, not someone who’s in their mid-late 20’s

I don’t know if this counts, but when I was in grad school I had a Tinder date set up at a local pub. I got food poisoning the night before. The “fireworks” ended around 1-2 am and I felt confident enough to go to sleep a couple hours later.

By the time I woke up the next morning, I felt that I could at least meet up for a couple of beers and chat. Plus, I figured telling her I got food poisoning would sound like an excuse to weasel out of the date.

I ended up sitting outside the pub to meet up for a half hour. She never showed up, and I finally gave up asking if she’d show up a couple of times.

Technically, this isn’t even a case of religion going crazy. The flat Earth conspiracy actually started out in the German Nazi party and were eventually pushed out because even the Nazis thought they were too crazy.

Notice how many of them mention a vague “they” as the ones maintaining the conspiracy. That’s them referring to Jewish people. While this is notmal for most conspiracy theories, few directly originated from the Nazis.

If you want more detail, there’s a couple episodes of Behind the Bastards explaining it. I recommend giving them a listen

If you’re making/sharpening a spear, you actually only want to get it sharp as a butterknife. Any sharper and it has a good chance of cutting into bone and getting stuck.

And before you ask, I’m in medieval reenactment. Discussions like this pop up a lot

Can we please wait until wayland can actually replace x11

Unfortunately there’s always devs that refuse to change so long as their setup still works, even if there’s significantly better alternatives. The only option for dealing with them is to rip off the bandaid. Either they’ll put in the work to keep up or they’ll fall into obscurity

One strike exploded a tree in the back yard overnight, so I was about 30 feet away. I’m a fairly heavy sleeper when it comes to noise but it woke me up anyway.

I don’t want to have to code anything.

You don’t have to code anything. You just look through the game system browser, pick what you want, and after a few seconds it’s installed.

We don’t need automation. I want simplicity.

Then screenshare over Discord while drawing things in MS Paint. It’s simple and it’s not automated, just like you asked

We whipped up a batch of improvised napalm with a bunch of kerosene and a styrofoam cooler

Kerosene doesn’t dissolve styrofoam. You’re thinking of gasoline.

Of course it’s JJBA

It sounds like a Steam Deck is a perfect fit for you then. May your frames be high and your lag minimal

Before you go in on a Steam Deck I want to give a head’s up:

While I like my Steam Deck, it does have limits. If you primarily want to play 2D indie games, it’s absolutely perfect. You get great framerate, and the battery lasts 3-4 hours or sometimes even more.

But if you want to play 3D games from the last 10-15 years, you’re going to need to compromise. Much of the time you won’t be able to get 60fps, and the battery life drops off quick. And if you want to dock it and run it on your TV you’re still going to have some performance tradeoffs due to the Steam Deck being built for 800p gaming

If you still have a powerful tower PC but want to play newer 3D games from your living room on a TV, you could run an application called Sunshine on it, allowing you to stream to a Steam Deck via Moonlight at high bitrate (4k 60fps with relatively low latency) and the Steam Deck is good for that because it has more power to encode/decode the stream than most alternatives.

Or you could wait for the Steam Machine to release. It won’t be as powerful as a PS5, but I’m expecting it to be a good value compared to most PC’s

Ubisoft being shit isn’t anything new though. They’ve had plenty of time to jump ship to something better

Steam OS doesn’t support Nvidia or Intel hardware. You’d be better off installing Bazzite

You’re missing a big factor in value: PlayStation requires a subscription just to use online multiplayer. PC games don’t. If someone buys a Steam Machine, even if they were the same price and same specs that person would be saving >$100 every year

Then what’s Java?

If it falls apart, then the party will learn to not interrupt
