All you need to do is put out some pictures of a two legged cat or something. The cry of the cat ladies who run their goverment would end it there. "Oh no that poor little bitty furbaby! Think of the innocent kittens! We can't keep doing these attacks!"

They print money with those games so much of the time that it's worth it to their business. Go look around any of that type of game that is multiplayer. See how many paid cosmetic objects other players are using. There's enough cosmetic MTX stuff visible in an average lobby to have bought a $70 game ten times over.

If I had to guess, it's also very much a big bunch of divided work at the mega-studios. They never really touch the whole project. What if your job was only the weapons? You'd probably spend all the game play time in a testing room shooting guns and swinging swords that the artist handed to you to implement. Then you spend the other half of the time you actually work sitting in boring meetings.

Democracy is becoming the new People's, which just the new term for Communism.

At least the Soviets had the balls to put Socialist in the name and not hide it.

Why do I care who it is? It can be Xi Jinping's personal account for all I care. I'll take account of what it says and what evidence it provides on a case-by-case basis. This is just leftists projecting again, because they hold approved™ sources as irrefutable gospel.

Just as for this video, I didn't care about what this guy said after he went on a spiel about how much he knows about software. Really intelligent people don't have to spit credentials, you just know when they speak.

His logic is shit too. Jumping to conclusions based on not all that great data, doesn't seem to consider any alternatives than the conclusion that supports his theory. Obligatory throw-ins trying to appeal to emotion that the left does so much.

I mean I think it's pretty stupid. However, I assume they weren't checking for an ear bandage at the door for entry? Going around and shaming everyone who wasn't wearing their ear bandage? Demanding paperwork that you'd taken a pharma product supposedly to lessen the impact of gunshot wounds to the ear?

Intelligence.

Walk to the other side of the tree.

It also epitomizes why anime is so much better. I'm not sure there are any western artists capable of making something with that level of badass, even if they liked the subject at hand. It would just end up looking like fucking Family Guy.

So why are they shooting the guy with the metal detector again?

If the entirety of the statement were true, they really should focus on fixing the second sentence. I suppose the democratic solution is not suitable for "our democracy."

All the notable music festivals have been that for decades, right? Really music in general has really been left wing progressive since well before I was even born.

A bullet grazed his ear. I don't think even the MSM is denying that fact.

I wouldn't trust the most decorated sniper in the history of the world to take a shot at me with the intent of grazing my ear for publicity.

don't go to concerts, don't go to pride parades, avoid nerd conventions, avoid gay orgies, and for God's sake don't go to a leftist political rally.

Yeah, I think I can manage that. The only concert I'd go to anymore is some pretty backwoods country thing, and I the rest of it I've never done anyway.

I'm not sure what they expected to come out of a successful attempt. It's beyond their pea brains to understand cause and effect though. Was everyone going to unite behind an establishment progressive, be glad to pass more privacy invasions, turn in our weapons and thank the commissar for being so kind as to disarm us to reduce violence?

Good news is I'm not new to Linux at all, just gaming on Linux. I know nothing about how to do any of the graphics stuff, outside of just install and hope amdgpu works. I've been on desktop Linux for 6ish years now. Just not on a gaming PC. The PC at my desk is just a little mini PC and it's what I do internet, spreadsheets, business stuff, scripting, etc. on. I actually moved from Ubuntu to Fedora because of the rolling release thing. Can't remember specifics, but there was something I had that was not cooperating that had native support in a newer kernel, and back then Ubuntu was on some ancient 4.x kernel. Most of my other experience is Debian or RHEL based server stuff, which skills translate to gaming pretty much zero outside of comfort with the console. I'm not great with drivers, because you just don't have to do that much on servers.

I think I'm going to start with Arch and just see how it goes. I was thinking of going to that on desktop some day anyway. If it doesn't go well then I'll try Steam OS or something.

Funny enough, I had the idea that Steam was only officially supported on Debian, because that's all they offered on the website. Yeah, I should have at least looked at my own system first. I never expected it would be in the Fedora repos already.

Always had the worst luck with Wine, but it is always me trying to run some ancient non-game thing and it won't cooperate or makes the output the size of a postage stamp and expects me to read it. I guess on the plus side, forced all my desktop software to native Linux stuff.

I may go for Arch next time it's time to reinstall the main desktop PC. I'd like to see how I do at getting all the desktop environment stuff set up from scratch there. Never done that before, at least not in a year starting with 20.

PC in question for me is gaming-specific, so I'm just going to partition this new SSD in half and you're right I probably end up trying a few different things before I settle on something. I needed a new SSD for another project where I really wanted to be able to "sandbox" some things on a totally separate physical drive. So I get a nice big 4TB for the gaming PC and rotate the rest of them downward to less demanding things. The way game size goes, that will be futureproof capacity for at least six months before its all 500GB games.

The existence of Lutris is what convinced me to give it a shot at all, I'll be looking forward to trying it out. I almost installed on my main Linux PC, but it's iGPU so I didn't figure worth messing with.

I'll have to look into that, I didn't realize it was viable for non Steam Deck

They will double down. That's what they do. As long as they have control of the mainstream narrative, the violence is a good thing for them.

I did see on there that "HOW DO YOU MISS" is trending. So none of the others would surprise me.

What I've come to realize is a lot of these type things for above-average people have become nothing more than attendance awards. I remember when I graduated high school, everyone was acting like it's a big accomplishment. I off-put several people by saying I didn't really feel accomplished at all, what I did was never optional to me. College was more so, but that came down to attendance. Attending class was not a strong suit.

Even in the workplace now. My main job is a big corporate technical job. Yeah, I've had some challenging roles over the years, but it's gotten to the point that it's really an attendance contest too. I can do my full-time, well paid, salary job in 20 hours a week easily. Lately I've been working on some databases and scripting that will at the very least cut that in half by automating a lot of the menial tasks I do. I already have more areas of responsibility than anyone on my team too. Twice the amount of some of them. Still, it's just attendance. I've considered leaving, but I get this automation in and work from home most of the time, so why bother? Let them keep paying me, I keep doing what's asked well, and go on to see how much I can ramp up small business and side projects. Could I find something more challenging? Sure. But it's not going to be a significant bump in reward (i.e. pay). So, why?

I suppose it's only going to get worse. There has to be some side effects of society in general being full of worse people performing tasks less well.

More so in the past five years, yes. You know how it goes now, everything that happens from the weather is due to climate change. "OMG why do we have so much hot, so many tornadoes, so many hurricanes, so much bad cold weather, it's CLIMATE CHANGE! We better get used to this because that fucker Greg Abbott won't solve it for us like if we had a good progressive in there!"

It not even unusually hot. It's been this hot the entire decade and a half I lived in Texas. I wouldn't even say this summer so far has been unusually hot. I can't pick out a single weather occurrence that's unusual from any point in my life. One year when I was about 8th grade, it rained what seemed like every other day. We had bad hurricanes then. I grew up on tornado warnings, back when they didn't have enough to do much more than putting the whole county under a warning.

Therefore making insider trading as a congressman generally useless. There'd still be idiots to take money from otherwise, but Congress ability to do so would be extremely limited.

A suggestion I once saw I would also accept is to require all members of Congress investments to be 100% public in real time. So at the very least you can ride along.

There would need to be something with family too, as you know they'd have no problem just having their kid do the trades and give 10% to the big guy.

I was thinking reading this, how long until they all just get paid to stay home? Sure, you can be a doctor, but it's white supremacy to expect you to show up, speak a coherent language, or be able to do anything. Just expect your paycheck doctor and go spend it on ya druugs and hoes or whatever.
