on the one hand, you’re right and I agree with you.

on the other hand, I’ve got places to be and other people walk so fucking slow.

fuck yeah. does chaos mod still work? I miss a good grappling hook.

not as good as it used to be, still the best news sub on that shit site.

And notice how all the screeching about genocide has gone silent? Proves that they never actually cared.

linux support when?

I will not apologize for offending you with facts. Also, try reading my comment again and respond to what I actually said, instead of what you think I said.

no, “didn’t vote” won the popular vote.

rules don’t matter if no one enforces them. republicans have been consolidating power for decades, partly by never holding their own accountable. dems are always held accountable, but usually for things that either don’t matter or are entirely false.

Trump isn’t held accountable because his supporters control every institution that can, and they want him to be king of america.

this, but unironically. Largest economy in the world, largest military in the world, and we just handed it to a giant toddler who thinks I should be tortured and killed for being gay. If you think you won’t be affected, then you’re as stupid as I am for thinking this country had a chance.

a third of us chose this, while half of us couldn’t be bothered to give a shit.

sanity is an oppressed minority in the us, and it’s worse than I ever could have thought.

sorry, force of habit.

holy shit does that look like a lot of money for not a lot of machine.

to copy my own comment from another similar thread:

I’m an idiot with no marketable skills. I put boxes on shelves for a living. I want to be an artist, a musician, a programmer, an author. I am so bad at all of these, and between having a full time job, a significant other, and several neglected hobbies, I don’t have time to learn to get better at something I suck at. So I cheat. If I want art done, I could commission a real artist, or for the cost of one image I could pay for dalle and have as many images as I want (sure, none of them will be quite what I want but they’ll all be at least good). I could hire a programmer, or I could have chatgpt whip up a script for me since I’m already paying for it anyway since I want access to dalle for my art stuff. Since I have chatgpt anyway, I might as well use it to help flesh out my lore for the book I’ll never write. I haven’t found a good solution for music.

I have in my brain a vision for a thing that is so fucking cool (to me), and nobody else can see it. I need to get it out of my brain, and the only way to do that is to actualize it into reality. I don’t have the skills necessary to do it myself, and I don’t have the money to convince anyone else to help me do it. generative AI is the only way I’m going to be able to make this work. Sure, I wish that the creators of the content that were stolen from to train the ai’s were fairly compensated. I’d be ok with my chatgpt subscription cost going up a few dollars if that meant real living artists got paid, I’m poor but I’m not broke.

These are the opinions of an idiot with no marketable skills.

looking kickass does measurably increase my enjoyment with the game

there’s so much that you can focus mostly on just gear you’re interested in. mastering %100 of everything is just not a thing that is reasonable unless you want to sink all of your time forever. It also gets easier to start leveling new gear as you progress.

I like it.

I’m in a predicament.

One the one hand, you’re doing God’s work.

On the other hand, I’m an anti-theist, so the previous sentence means shit.

What do?

if it’s been long enough, the game will just make you do the new player experience all over again even if you’re playing on an old account. Happened to me when I took a hiatus a while back.

man do I wish I was smart enough to play EVE.

That is the tough part. I’m the sherpa for my friend group, I’ll answer questions to the best of my ability until I either pass out or get too drukn to continue, if you feel so inclined to ask.
