I think we’re in the boring version of Shadowrun’s cyberpunk universe. Take out the magic, take out the idea that people perform runs doing vigilante tasks and take out the goblinifcation (so no orks/trolls) and no other races. But the idea of megacorps getting bigger and bigger while everything decays around us with escalating costs, yeah that part is real.

Karma farming, much? lol

Yeah and owning the privilege to have games on Steam is any better.

Cult Classic movies. I understand some of them but a lot of them are really over my head that would almost require an explanation. And I don’t quite vibe with a majority of them. Like Dazed and Confused.

Why does the Fediverse need Zuckerberg’s poison?

My personal answer is that - big production budget.

If a game cracks over at least 10 million to develop, yeah it’s AAA level. But the average seems to be around 40 ~ 80 million range. Some games are in triple digit millions. So yeah I see it as a budget thing.

Eh, can’t care. As long as I can still sync with my Ipod and add/remove music, I’m fine. I don’t ever use ITunes for anything else, not for a long long time.

Trump doesn’t have to. He’s got someone in FCC who’ll do it for him like Ajit Pai before. Net Neutrality is going to die again anyways, as we all expect. What will come from that after, will be more dominos falling.

Reading programming language books isn’t a waste of time. What is a waste of time, is delving into a programming language and finding out how little of use it is. You’d hate yourself for pursuing a programming language and find out that it has little purpose.

The point of programming however, is to be versatile. Do not be content. You may focus on one or two programming languages, but there are jobs and fields out there that’s going to require more programming languages so you might want to keep a head up on that.

But no, reading programming books is not a waste of time. Just do not expect one book to answer everything. There’s a reason why there’s tons of editions of C/C+ for example. There is something new to document and learn about with that programming language.

You have it backwards.

If GOG goes down, you actually lose what you own.

If Steam goes down, you lose your privileges.

Same, they should just never have made a launcher.

Exit the Gungeon (It’s meh) Okami Axiom Verge Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R (That didn’t work for me, refunded) Fight Knight (Might refund, it’s not fun) New Super Lucky’s Tale (2 in 1, remaster and original. Cool)

Reddit.

Fragile Mods. Shitty trolls. Dishonest engagements. Little to no good discussion. Opinions are seen as attacks. Power-tripping users and mods alike. Karma whores.

Oh it’s further than that. It’s 4-chan users from /b/ who still think worshiping Hitler, calling black people the N word and going around spewing any racial slang around is still the coolest thing to do. ED isn’t even an ecyclopedia, it’s just the internet’s big black book of people the internet doesn’t like in the form of lolcows, controversial people who made themselves out to be shitty people. All of these things and more for people to learn about and get personal with since they’re all openly doxxed.

The hell do you mean “barely did anything for the Linux gaming scene”? Listen, I’m up to my neck with Linux gamer crybabies always bitching about how someone doesn’t throw them a bone, for years. Valve is doing Linux gamers a great service and since Linux was all about free-this and open source that, DRM-free is at least a thing. Fucking can’t please whiny Linux gamers.

Fuck Psyonix, they were greedy beforehand.

None. It’s just an AI-bloated feature that overcomplicates what people already can do with their Windows OSes.

I imagine it’s not really often. I always suspect someone is trying to take advantage of me.

Give it time and they’ll have the “shoot yourself in the face with a 9mm because we believe 9mm are pussy guns” challenge.

And they’ll do it.

All I see these mini-PCs as, as just personal PCs. The kind you boot up, record things on like private documents, power off and proceed to do other tasks and things on your more expensive machine that can handle the workload. Like they’re meant to be PCs you do not want people discovering or see you using, so to say.

I just have a hard time seeing mini PCs as primary devices for everyday use, especially when their upkeep is poor and temperature management is poorer.

…You’re a multi-trillion dollar company (in value anyways) operating on billions in operating budget. I expect you, Apple, to make one eventually. Just shut up and try, watch it fail, then withdraw.
