It’s funny that you wrote the wrong GPU name while agreeing that the naming is confusing.

It’s also very much part of the 'murican narcissism culture, everyone has to be special in some way, no matter how shallow, made up or objectively irrelevant that is. I’ve known a few Americans IRL (I’m Swedish) at different periods of my life and no one else has ever come close to the level of mental gymnastics they do to feel special, cool, different etc. This really mirrors a lot of other things about the US, the classic image of early American towns with houses that have decorated facades but that’s all it is, paper-thin lies to mask both nothingness and shittyness. And man do they hate it when you try to push your finger through those shallow shields they build for themselves.

Sorry, I had to.

I highly recommend the first one, Far Cry 3 and its stand-alone expansion Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. Also, the first Crysis game which is very similar to Far Cry.

I play games too much, so I’ll categorise them:

New ones I’ve finished and absolutely loved: Dragon Age: The Veilguard and Star Wars: Outlaws

Not new ones that I’m currently playing and really like so far: Days Gone and Mad Max

Not new ones that I’m currently playing that I’m unsure if I like, be it because of the game itself or technical issues: Enshrouded, Horizon Forbidden West, and Satisfactory

Ones I’ve played for some time and won’t stop playing anytime soon (and obviously love): Warframe and Minecraft

Engrish hard.

Ok, but the US isn’t the majority of the world.

I’ve seen this without the shitty crop several times in the past few days. I don’t remember if there was a source or something in the normal version, but the cropping being done to remove that is the only thing I can think of. Shitty people.

You literally cannot come with a better punchline? I generally don’t kinkshame but that’s a strange one.

The Windows updating experience, both the system and apps via the Microsoft Store is so fucking bad it’s unbelievable. Shit just stops working all the time, updates fail, grinds the whole system to a halt etc.

For several years now I’ve been unable to update apps in the Microsoft store in one go, I have to open it, click “get updates” and the circular progression bar goes to about 1/5 and then just stops. So I have to close the app, wait a few minutes, open it again and then press the “play” button for every single app that has updates for the download to actually start, nothing else works. It’s been the same for Windows 10 and 11 across four different computers.

There was a Windows 10 update several months ago, might even have been last year that just failed for a ton of people and it took months before it was fixed.

I’m surprised this isn’t one of the top comments. I don’t even play or have interest RTS games, only ever watched friends play it as a kid and it’s still stuck in my head to this day.

“Why is Mastodon is not”

Basic grammar hard, apparently.

“Any cool things you got on sale on Black Friday?”

“Oooh yeah, 5kg of mealworms!”

“The, wha, why…?”

“AAAAAAHH! Haha”

Mine had slid off the footrest I had stupidly placed it on overnight and I didn’t notice that so I sat down and jerked my computer chair forward, one wheel right into the controller. It’s crazy how much it broke, one side cracked, including the PCB and both the bumber and trigger on that side got badly deformed.

RIP friend, you were the best.

English hard, apparently.

I fucking hate this thing that’s becoming more and more common. Obvious bad grammar and spelling mistakes in memes like this, it’s become the rule rather than the exception in just the past year. And I’m certain it’s rarely not done on purpose, it’s the same with post and video titles both here, reddit, youtube etc. It gets clicks and comments and people fucking suck so they do it with no shame.

Vann here’s what it shows on sync for lemmy:

I can only agree.

I don’t understand reacting like this. Do you disagree? Do you think only people with opinions that aren’t popular on whatever place they are should share them? Should no one ever say what many others are thinking?

Huh, it’s the other way around for me. Anyone feel the same? And my general view of how I look is much worse than what everyone else seems to see. If I go fully by my own view I’d say I look about average, I’m comfortable with how I look but I wouldn’t say it’s anything of note, but apparently people see something else. I get compliments from random people all the time, everything from my physical features to my style, and I never understood why. I have agoraphobia and general social anxiety so I’d love to be able to go outside and get groceries or whatever and just be left alone like most other people but about a third of the time when I leave my apartment some random person(s) give me compliments. I won’t deny that I appreciate it in some ways, more or less depending on the situation and how I feel but it often triggers my anxiety and most of the time I’d like it not to happen.

I’m a 35yo dude BTW, not some good looking young woman (which people have guessed other times when I’ve mentioned it).

How did you manage to get such a low score without consciously trying to make it bad…? It’s like if you got to race a car and took one hour longer than everyone else and then bragged about it like it’s good.
