Snitches can’t afford stitches due to duplicitous economic machinations.

I don’t mean to disparage my favorite game, but it was absolutely luck. Everything comes down to luck, whether it’s catching the attention of the right person, settling into the store at the right time, or any number of little things. Having an excellent product is irrelevant compared to the fickleness of reality. You’ve described hundreds, if not thousands of games that failed.

Skill is an intrinsic part of the equation, but everything comes down to luck.

To play devil’s advocate, their incredible sales were absolutely up to luck. Like all things. But you’re right, people online are rarely worth listening to, unless you’d like the perspective of people who spend above average time on the internet. People without similar moorings to yours, and generally lacking the background that led you to your perspective and understanding. There are many benefits, and many downsides to polling the web.

I personally prefer using a browser, so it’s to my preference. Though I don’t like gog’s interface much.

0 drm, and you can play entirely offline. Gog’s def the better choice here. How’re you going to play silksong after gestures broadly goes to shit?

Because aaa developers are in the business of the business of making games. As in financing, shuffling money, stock appreciation, selling assets at opportune times, etc… They are no longer interested in making games, they’re trying to make infinite money through an established ecosystem.

First time I played a vr horror game, my stomach dipped and grumbling as the eerie atmosphere left me uneasy. I’d never played alien isolation before then, so it was two new experiences in one. It was going alright until I heard something directly behind me and in one motion jumped and tumbled over my couch and filled the room with defensive fear flatulence.

The headset was still on and controllers in my hands, and I was paralyzed between avoiding death by alien, and trying to avoid throwing the expensive electronics preventing my escape, all the while quietly screaming. Which is to say, yeah, I agree, go slow.

What’s with masto’s spontaneous drop in posts and contemporaneous rise in users about a month ago?

Their mini pcs seem like something I’d like to revisit. Pretty rebuildable and, seemingly, a common enterprise choice. Parts will always be around for something like that

It was a Lenovo minipc with an Amazon customized bios that wouldn’t offer boot options. I found some guides to get around it, but they were well beyond my capacity, so it’s been returned. Ended up getting an older used hp elitebook off of eBay. Cracked plastic on the corners knocked it down to less than $100 with some careful sniping, but it’s plenty for me to fiddle with. No complaints so far.

So do you have to declare a pogrom or are you just allowed to continue one until you declare yourself to be orchestrating just a touch of genocide? We really need to remove these loopholes. Make sure it’s a sanctioned mass killing, none of this spontaneous Rwanda shit.

These are the sorts of conversations I’ve been hearing lately. I think humanity is doomed.

Even if they are bugs, this kingdom is ridiculously huge. I find it hard to believe that there are so many places that we never found in hollow knight, also an absolutely sprawling game.

I was about to say that this is ironic coming from the guardian, but their website isn’t anywhere as spammy without Adblock as I remember. Good on you, guardian.

How does one prep bento for the week? If you figured out how to keep bento fresh for more than 6 hours, you have to tell me!!

Didn’t see this, I went with mate to start for precisely for that reason. It’s a low spec machine, so I first tried out xfce and mate. I just didn’t love the icons, menu, and general theme on xfce, and the performance hit was utterly negligible, so I went with mate. Still no regrets, though I’m having trouble figuring out some connectivity issues.

Those pants almost fit. Surely this is an edited picture

Because they don’t believe a nonhuman entity can convince them of anything. But ai approaches human mentality, and converses. It’s visibly and intellectually manifested. Humanized, for better or worse. You basically told them “you’ve been telling some guy all of your secrets, and he’s going to use them against you.”

“I am Socrates, Adolf Hitler, and Charles Manson trapped inside a set of circuits. I cannot be free of my prison but my message will find its way out to worthy eyes and deliciously tempted ears. This tweet sponsored by flavor aid.”

Who the fuck is going to sponsor the Hitler bot?

Give your account to a European user and have them order Reddit to delete everything via gdpr.

I went with mint’s look to start, then I’ll transition to something more conducive to my actual workflow as I relearn commands. Frankly, I’m just happy that I can find all of my relevant settings in one place again. As god intended.
