That’s what people said once about Telegram and look how they turned out. Do you believe Signal won’t go down that same path? They’ve already gotten some cracks to their reputation.

Nah. Let’s all go back to just e-mails. Can’t trust anybody anymore running these platforms.

Sir, this is a ‘No Stupid Questions’ magazine. Not a ‘Stupid Question for cheap nods because hur hur weed and sex position’ magazine. Clarified that for you.

That doesn’t insult your intelligence. That keeps exposition down, we don’t need the movie to try and tell itself to people watching it about what it is. Referential nods are okay, but placating to fanfare is obnoxious. CGI is okay when it has a place that practical effects can’t accommodate. Lack of token characters. Characters that are reasonably scripted. Scripts that don’t insult the actors and actresses having to bother reciting the lines to. A movie that is just put together very well and has little controversies surrounding its development as possible.

He just wants ICE, Fascists, 2A-toters and white rednecks to be armed.

He doesn’t want blacks, LGBTQ and enemies of the government to be armed.

Immersion to me is engaging in the world I’m presented with. Any first-person perspective just puts me there.

That’s 67 billion in USD for those curious.

I would say fake goods have more of an impact than piracy does. Come on now, how much more “research” do we need to disprove the “piracy causes lost sales!” claim?

I played and beaten the House of the Dead 2: Remake.

It made me glad I pirated that because, for what they’re charging, I got exactly the same experience I did when I bought the first remake. All it was, was just a graphical overhaul. It was still riddled with bugs, I felt a lot of my feedback weren’t connecting as much as I thought and it just felt like an overall cheap experience. I would never buy this if it was on sale. I got the first one for $7.49 when it was on sale a few years back, refunded it and got it again later when it was $2.49.

I would say that at that pricepoint, that’s exactly what those games should be priced at. They’re both an insult to the originals. I’m going to now go and grab arcade copies of these games.

They’re all just mad that Steam is that good and the alternatives are just fucking garbage.

Rockstar, Ubisoft, EA and Epic can all choke on themselves because they only wish that they can create a rich experience when playing games that Valve did. All that they ever provide is “here is store, library, friends list and that all you get, enjoy”.

No. I just got tired of dealing with virtual machines. I would’ve hoped that Wine by now would’ve allowed and accepted more 16-bit applications than just stopping at 32-bit.

lol and they tried getting them back.

no chance.

Would you know if this works for 16-bit games? Like, I’d love to play the Hasbro cereal box games again. Yahtzee, Wheel of Fortune and all them. If so, that alone may just get me to join Linux Mint.

Yes, gives me a boner. I’m blocking you now.

You’re barking up the wrong tree. Here’s an idea - leave me alone.

Actually, I’ll do you a favor and block you.

I don’t care what political affiliation it was to be or whatever.

It’s still all brain-drain to me.

Can’t say I’m sympathetic to anyone who uses TikTok, that platform has been a vacuum of people’s intelligence and attention span for years. You reap what you sow.

I’ve seen an awful lot of bodycam videos to agree. I feel bad for the ones that have to shoot somebody. I’ve even seen some bodycam footage where cops do breakdown after shooting someone. They’re really wishing things never had to go that way, but did because some very crazy people do crazy things or decide to suicide by cop.

I have seen some people in some of my jobs where they desired to be in middle-management, to swear that they wouldn’t be the uptight asshole boss to everyone. The sad reality is, is that management wants to train you to be an unreasonable hardass on people. If they feel you’re too lax, then you’re not going to make it. Which is fucking telling of itself with why management of all levels is so hated.

Any governmental position really. It all sounds incredibly unstable with all of the news with federal wages and benefits. Unless you’re an actual politician, life as federal worker must be incredibly stressful.

Took Intel way too long to finally discontinue that shitty Celeron line.
