This is how they all need to be - let the chimpanzees throw their shit all day, ignore them, move forward as if they don’t exist.

I think this game could run on PS4 just fine. Turn off raytracing and a few other things and it would probably work.
But then, I guess they can’t keep releasing for the old console forever.
It’s unfortunate, but it was always coming. I was quite refreshed to see so much open piracy talk too, good indication it’s an “anything goes” kind of place.
But I guarantee they’ve received a copyright order by somebody, probably the mpaa, and failure to act would result in legal action.
When my mom had cancer, I swear every relative and distant acquaintance came out of the woodwork trying to sell some kind of nonsense. It was already a devastating time, but on top of that it was insulting being forced to hear about all these delusional snake oil cures and conspiracy theories.
One thing that hasn’t been mentioned yet - have a good backup solution. If there isn’t anything on your computer that can’t be restored, then you’re not going to feel as much pressure to protect things.
Of course there’s crypto miners, identity theft, botnet stuff, all sorts of things that run undetected and don’t simply render your computer unusable. But if you’re absolutely sure you’re not losing anything, then “nuke it from orbit” becomes a more paletteable solution for virus removal. A hassle for sure, but format and start over again becomes an option that results in no loss other than the pain of having to reinstall everything.
Seems to me there’s a concentrated effort to convince the public that there’s outrage.
I’m glad to see there’s still a community for it.
I wouldn’t call compressed air extremely dangerous, but more than you’d think.
It can hurt you in a lot of ways and it’s often played with like a toy. Like blowing air in somebody’s face, don’t do that, think of it like coming at them with a handheld drill. Treat an air compressor like any kind of power tool, not exactly dangerous but can hurt you.
You know, sometimes I think if my mother hadn’t passed away, things with my parents would’ve gone this route.
I had moved out, dad was spending more time at home, and she couldn’t stand him anymore because he’s an obnoxious racist.
And you know, working from home I’m comfortable doing things otherwise I wouldn’t agree to doing - particularly coming online late hours.
They’re doing maintenance at 7pm, that’s no big deal, I’ll adjust my hours around and make it work. Not like I’m driving or just staying late, okay I’m not doing a 12 hour day at the office. And realistically 4pm-7pm would basically just be waiting. Guess I would if I really had to, but I wouldn’t be too happy about it. Heck just last week I checked to see if something applied correctly at 12am. No big deal, just log in and make sure.
And I fully recognize this could be exploited, become the norm. I’m careful to set boundaries, but I guess working from home has loosened my boundaries of what is and isn’t okay. Used to be I wouldn’t even answer my work phone after 5pm, but now it’s not so bad. Little annoying sometimes, but I’m okay with it.
I think there’s a place for both. But sometimes I tire of anti-heroes, sympathetic villains, bad guys who were right, bad guys who turn good in the end, that kind of thing.
Sometimes it’s refreshing when the villain is just evil for no reason. Just bad, that’s it, just a bad guy who is defeated in the end because he was bad. No redemption story, you don’t feel sorry for them, none of that. I’m thinking like Ernst Blofeld, the T-1000, Palpatine, Sauron, Wicked Witch of the West, Skeletor. Uncomplicated villains, their motivation is just evil for the sake of evil.
Time and a place for both, and sometimes it seems like we only get the one. Like I can’t think of a recently popular movie villain who was simply evil.
I swear, when I’m called into the office I get fuck all nothing done. Like once in a while there’s a reason for me to be on site, and I do that thing and nothing else all day.
Distractions, interruptions, noise, general discomfort. Seems every time I actually start making progress on something, a person stops by my desk and that basically erases whatever I did. So it always ends with “I’ll do it tomorrow when I’m at home”.
Yeah even as a technician that’s one I run on the off chance that it actually does something.
Which, sometimes it does, just often enough that I wouldn’t call it useless.
You know, when I played FF1 I had already played several of the later SNES games. And in a way the simplicity was refreshing.
I still remember going into this town and all the NPCs are saying “there are pirates” and “I don’t like pirates”. Then there’s a pirate who says “we’re the pirates!”. And that’s it, simple as can be, there are pirates and you beat them. No long narratives, no grand schemes, just beat the pirates. Sometimes it’s nice to take a break from the grand arc kind of stories.
Yeah I hear that a lot in my own town.
“Kids these days stay inside too much” kids go outside and they’re calling the cops. Gee wonder why the kids don’t go outside anymore.
You know, nothing summed it up quite like the whole Pokemon Go craze. It was wild, people of all ages were out like it was a festival every day. I’ve never seen main street so active before or since, and the parks too. That was like the best four weeks, perhaps a feeling I haven’t had since being a kid on summer vacation, it really felt like summer meant something again.
And oh my god the old folks were livid. At kids playing. In the park. There are people in the city park, there aren’t supposed to be people there, it’s supposed to be empty and dilapidated.
Same here, I’ve tried plenty of them and landed on Nova Launcher. Even put it on my dad’s phone because I couldn’t get things to be simple for him with the default launcher.
I paint gaming miniatures, and the only varnish I will use is Testors brand. One pass with high gloss because it’s more protective, one pass with “dullcote” because it gives it a matte and neutral finish.
Every other product I’ve tried has turned out cloudy, frosted, not the finish I want, or even cracked. So at some point I stopped attempting to find an alternative and just only use Testors.
See, they only sell it at one craft store in my area and it’s in a locked case so you have to get an employee and there’s only like two in the whole store. And it’s expensive. So I don’t like that hassle, wanted to find something easier to get, but nothing was ever even acceptable. So, it’s Testors Dullcote only.
I just use vi
Is that stupid? It’s all I ever bothered to learn, hasn’t failed me yet. Now I’m not some big time linux guru but I’m a sysadmin and regularly find myself elbow deep in a CLI for stuff.
