What an odd statement. Xbox is in direct competition with porn and crypto? Do they know any of those things? Do they think people are just like “hm, 60 dollars. I could game, buy porn, or crypto. Hmmmmmm”

Anything to avoid looking inward. Their IPs have empty corporate souls because they’re made by souless corporate entities. Halo, Gears, Starfield, all shallow empty stories, and gamers are tired of it.

Of course they don’t have souls so they assume gamers don’t either. Couldn’t be that were gaming to enjoy a story or feel something deeply, no we’re literally debating on gambling or video games. Jesus Christ so out of touch.

Simply that as I grow older I have learned that nuance doesn’t exist on the internet. A human is boiled down to a few lines of text in a comment. That comment becomes everything the other human knows about them.

Nuance is knowing that humans are capable of holding two separate beliefs, for example that I can believe that the sex industry is exploitative, and also admit that this is funny, and know that those two things don’t contradict each other.

It’s the same argument to me of How I Met Your Mother’s character, Barney. A sexist pig who in all sense of the word is a horrible human being. A binary approach to life says you can never watch the show or laugh at the jokes because he is in there. A nuanced approach is being able to watch and enjoy it, while also knowing that he’s a horrible character, and we should probably make it clear we don’t want more sitcom characters like him.

However, like I said, virtue signalling is important to many people, they have to know that you know how moral they are. To me, we’re all very complex shades of grey, and I’m completely okay with admitting that things are more complex than a comment can express. Yes, I know the irony of this comment

To me the meme is just plain silly. That’s the point, it’s ridiculous, and with the NSFW twist it makes it fun. But yes, I agree, on the internet if you see someone working in the sex industry you see everyone virtue signalling that there are problems with the sex industry, and no one can have fun without everyone being made aware that even acknowledging that the industry exists makes you a horrible evil human being.

No idea why you’re getting downvoted so hard, I found it funny

Step one: you don’t go looking for a money wife. You go looking for a dedicated life partner who you will encourage and support for many decades.

Top: Seeing a boy complain about having to pay for dinner

Bottom: Having a man have a reasonable conversation about splitting expenses

Eh that’s a personal rule. We had that for a while but it quickly was clear it was unfair. There are a ton of expectations that one person invites the other, it just doesn’t work out. First date I’d say play over the check, everything after that hopefully is a 50/50, or if one person can’t afford becomes a conversation.

Some weird sexist crap. My spouse and I have always split everything, in fact I was in college while she was already working, and paid for me most of the time. Generalizing like this only solidifies your own personal prejudices.

For those who don’t know, is largely because of Xbox supporting PC games on their consoles, and then also the Steam Frame. All of a sudden they know their hardware won’t matter. Not excusing it, it’s still incredibly shitty, but this is the main driver.

Existing customers will have the increase next year once the noise dies down

Car, Power, Electricity, they’re all falling behind. US is doing so many stupid laws right now because it’s the last place that the lobbies are desperately holding onto. Rest of the world has already been moving away, and the companies know it. Now the shareholders are starting to know it. You literally can’t beat free electricity from the sun. They could only prolong it so long, and you can tell they’re desperate with forcing the US to act against it’s best interest.

In the 40s it was as much as 90%, and that caused the boom in the 50s

Same. They took a risk with that in 7 and I liked that. What I didn’t like was starting over each time, I would have liked a new Civ but then simply continue on with different perks. Now it’s the same as 5 and 6

Absolutely because it got roasted on April fools as the stupidest executive level idea in all of gaming.

Hey play this game I paid 60 bucks for for me

Nothing to see here folks, move along

Ok great, thanks for sharing.

ZFS works best for drives of the same size. It is possible to do multiple drive sizes, but it’s pretty tedious. Mergerfs is a clear winner when you have many varying sizes of drives and are okay with the speed tradeoff

You’re right, and it bugs me when people say things like “Or seattle”, my hometown, or any city. US cities get a very bad rap because our conservatives push “cities bad and scary” to small town/suburban residents, who are now terrified to go into cities. Furthermore they convince them that if you build transit or do anything for the city that the “problems” that are in the city will leak into their suburbs.

It boils down to one thing for me. These problems are real, but being able to say “City scary” allows people to shift blame to the city. Them being afraid that it could leak out to their areas proves that. It’s not the city’s fault. It’s society’s fault, and most people don’t like to be reminded that problems actually exist and our society we’ve built has real casualties. By having a homeless problem “in Seattle” or “in Dublin” it allows them to feel superior, like their town wouldn’t be the exact same if it suddenly 20x’d in size. They don’t need to think about homeless because it’s that city’s problem. Seeing homeless makes them feel things, and they don’t like that. It’s callous, it’s selfish, and it reeks of putting heads in sand as far as I’m concerned.

As for city dwellers, we’re surrounded by it every day. We empathize, we donate to our food banks, we do what we can - but most of all we don’t have the luxury of pretending the problems don’t exist. So when I see a post like this I roll my eyes. Keep your eyes down, don’t make eye contact, let them move on, and then think about donating to your local food bank or detox center. In fact, I think I’ll go donate to mine now.

They’ve been anti-open source for a while, they clearly don’t see a profit motive without killing off their open source side. Anyone selfhosting or into open source should consider MinIO dead, and migrate. Hopefully someone forks it.

If you’re on windows this is a relatively easy fix, I believe you’re looking for the “4GB patch”. I believe anyway. There’s a patcher out there that fixes it up easy.

I hate to say it but… Linux really shines here. The backwards compatibility is insane and it really does just work. If you have a deck it just sings, in fact the deck is one of the best ways to play the older games
