Haven't played it, haven't followed news, played the crap out of BG1 / BG2.

When you say Act 2 is not terribly well executed, do you mean plot? Side quests? Amount of content? That is, the mechanics of the game should be pretty consistent between acts right? So what tailed off so dramatically after Act 1?

Not at all! I'm not saying there aren't things in Linux that are more complicated, nor am I saying that you won't have to learn anything new. But, it's not rocket science. If you can program in Godot or what not, you can pick up Linux.

Seriously, try it out with a VM. Get an Ubuntu installer, spin up a free Virtualbox VM, and have at it. You can have a desktop up and running in minutes.

(Ironically, I'm not a huge Linux fan. I've been running FreeBSD on various devices for more than 20 years now. I feel like it's kind of falling behind now due to the dominance of Linux and the lack of Docker, but it's just amazingly solid and consistent for servers.)

Honestly, Linux is not hard. If you're any sort of a power user, and especially if you're doing any programming, you're really doing yourself a disservice if you don't know at least some linux.

I can't imagine being a Windows-only dev. The *nix/*bsd commandline tools are just so insanely powerful.

It can't get much easier than installing Ubuntu.

I loved Delphi back in the day.

Never been a fan of Xcode.

Vim on the other hand...

All are declining, but the mainlines seem the hardest hit. Thankfully.

You think she made that much from Geek and Sundry? I imagine she's doing just fine, but she's never been in anything huge. She's by no means an A-lister.

The interesting thing to me is not just the pronoun and "identifying" horror, but think about someone saying this exact same thing about black people.

A strange black person is undeniably a threat. I don't think there is a white-identifying person alive who wouldn't be gripped with fear to see a black person on the sidewalk in front of them. ... The truth is that blacks do whites harm, every day."

That would RIGHTFULLY be called out. But because it's women...

The "Western woman" named Aqra (Pakistani) with twitter handle Goulhag who according to her twitter is in the process of having an arranged marriage setup back in the old country?

Hah, Imp as F2M would give a whole new dimension to his arguments.

"Women are evil cunts. I know. I have one."

I wish he could have just calmed down with the obessive posting a bit. He was fine to talk to, if repetitive, but it was just too much.

Yeah, absolutely. I should have been more explicit in my dancing on the corpse of the mouse.

I would guess The Little Mermaid truly made money for Disney (and probably more so with Disney+ action), but everything else is an outright loss or at best break even.

This according to Wikipedia.

Little Mermaid. Budget of 240.2 million, box office of 569.6 million.

Indiana Jones DoD. Budget of 295-387m. Box office 384 miilion.

Haunted Mansion. 150m. Box office 117.5 million.

Ant Man. Budget "326.6 million (gross) 276 million (net). Box office 476.1 million.

The Marvels. Budget 219.8m to 274.8m. Box office 206.1 million.

Wish. Budget 175-200m. Box office 254.9m

What a beautfiul sight to see. Little Mermaid was the most succesful of all of these films.

Vim is my most used editor by far. It's beautiful.

This is exactly why nobody takes stormfags seriously. Point out what percentage of Ivy League school presidents are Jewish. Point out what percentage of Biden's cabinet executives are Jewish. Point out what percentage of law school professors and law school deans are Jewish. Great, you've got a point.

But frothing at the mouth over some Irish Catholic northeastern basic bitch, because you can't imagine a good Aryan girl being a loathsome cunt? You just look like an idiot.

That would be a logical failure on your part.

GP said: "Maher? Like Bill Maher, the Jew? So she's a Jew."

It's the most basic logical construction. The connection between Katherine Maher and Bill Maher, as identified above, is the name Maher.

If P then Q.

If last name is "Maher" then person is Jewish.

Maher being an Irish name, that is false. Attempting to claim that Katherine Maher is Jewish, solely based on her sharing an Irish last name with Bill Maher, is a failure of logic. And wrong.

You're claiming her mother is Jewish? Where's your proof on that?

Edit: I don't downvote people I disagree with, even when they are factually wrong.

Edit #2: As opposed to the stormfags who DO downvote repeatedly. See the comments in this article for proof.

It comes out of music. The "groove" of a song, particular jazz, is kind of the rhythm, the feel, the overall impact. You can say "Wow, that drummer is really grooving!" If he's really into the song, really driving, really fitting in. Colloquially, if you're "in the groove" you're doing great, really nailing whatever task you're on, etc.

"I'm in the groove! I just coded a new hit box algorithm I've been stuck on for days!"

"Groovy" really just means "Cool." Often used in a kind of arts or music of visual context. Today mostly used ironically. It's old slang. If I saw a kid wearing some really funky tyedyed shirt or something I might say "Hey, that's a pretty groovy shirt!"

Does Duke Nukem or Doom Guy say "Groovy" at some point??
