Nah, its not Trumps playbook. Back when I was in college they tried to pass a constitutional amendment that would annul same-sex marriages for simply entering the state. NC GOP has been wild for a long, long time

Problem is, that headline is not out of reach because “slavery was good for black people” HAS BEEN SAID BY DESANTIS

We had hardware getting massive leaps for years. Problem is, devs got used to hardware having enough grunt to overcome lack of optimizations. Now we got shit coming out barely holding 60+ on 4080s and requiring usage of FSR or DLSS as a bandaid to make the game get back to playable framerates.

If you’ve got 30 series or 7000 series from AMD you don’t need to look for a more performant card, you need devs to put in time for polish and optimization before launch and not 6 months down the line IF the game is a commercial success.

Fuck me, where did the time fly? I didn’t know 2017 was over 30 years ago.

Is it bad that I can still read these shitposts in the correct tone?

Toms has never claimed to be perfect but they are one of the last places you can look to for some very detailed breakdowns that don’t involve scrubbing through a youtube video.

Back on topic, calling it spyware is a slap on the wrist. Metas tracking pixel is spyware. What was found was a keylogger, password stealer, and cryptowallet key stealer that was baked into the initial windows install and recovery partition.

Not saying you are wrong. In my view, having grown up under the system of being a disposable male, seeing something like “mens mental health day cancelled because of lack of female representation” https://www.theguardian.com/... is right on par with what I grew up with and honestly what we should be working against.

I do agree media has their hand on the scale making things worse. That said, media isn’t the sole contributor to the problem. Foisting the responsibility onto an amplifier ignores the baseline sentiment.

for commercial releases? absolutely deader than Cobain.

Clone Hero is super active, has people actively mapping new songs and is the only path forward at this point

“You are now manually breathing” works substantially better

Was there another booster? My state stopped emailing me about them over a year ago…

whoa now, don’t take away Elite:Dangerous one claim to fame. They have an entire milky way of procedurally generated planets with no POIs!

That is what happened here. Republicans came to the table and said “we will give you Ukraine aid if we get a border deal”. Biden undercut progressives and started making offers that Republicans wanted for Ukraine aid and to put his name on the border deal. So Republicans took their ball and went home.

I’ve been watching fewer of their videos lately. The concerns from Tech Jesus had me sitting further on the fence but that thread got me to unsub. If even part of the thread is true, it’s unacceptable.

To continue upon others threads. In theory, on paper. You are correct. In practice, that was left behind decades ago. Back in the 1940s the Christian Right began to coalesce. In the 70s it became a prominent voting bloc. Cut to present day and you have preachers telling their congregation who to vote for because they have a wink and a smile contract. Hurt the people we hate and we will give you power.

I went to a public high school in the renaissance of MySpace and Angelfire and Geocities. My Current Events class was entirely breaking down political speech and recognizing the undercurrents. World History was as much about what happened but also how the situation developed, including a stint on understanding modern journalism through the development of Yellow Journalism.

Public school can do exceptionally well if it’s actually funded like it’s supposed to be.

The biggest pain point there is the real lack of meaningful space interaction. Your ship, while being entirely personalizable, is largely useless. My play thrus saw a fight every 7-10 jumps, at best. Theres a lot of emulation of E:D and SC in power management but because of the flight dynamics, that entire sidebar is largely binary. Either you engage and win or you jump out. The flight dynamics are rough enough that theres no room in the conversation for being a skilled pilot. Then the interior loses a significant amount of meaning in auto-gen’d doors. you shouldnt be forced to put blank squares in just to get a layout that is traversable.

the veneer of a space game is there but it really lacks the extra thought into how a cornerstone mechanic should work and that causes the largest part of the downfall in my eyes.

did you really read past half the article saying that they primarily starved to pop out an “uhm ackshually”?

theres an ashoka series? til

I took Pokemon Legends Arceus to 100%. I can firmly say Palworld has a better loop than PLA.

We were almost capped on Palworld and reset our server yesterday. I have spent over a dozen hours since our reset playing the game. I would have put PLA down permanently if I was almost done with the 100% dex and lost my save data. I am missing 2 achievements on Horizon Zero Dawn on steam for that exact reason.

Early access is fine if you look at the game as it is now instead of thinking about “what it will be”.

Its like how you deal with killbots. You send wave after wave of troop at them until they hit the limit of their kill count and deactivate.
