the $70 price tag
It's a Ubisoft game. The price tag is irrelevant. It could be the most perfect historical depiction of Japan ever made, and it's still on sale monthly for 75% off before you know it.
Yeah maybe. I threw that in after the fact. I misinterpreted what was going on in my initial response, just don't really believe in deleting my comments and hiding when it doesn't turn out perfect.
Wow, they discovered electricity! Or probably more accurately bought some Chinese electricity generating stuff and managed to make it work.
Africa has tons of natural resources more than enough to support flourishing countries. Poverty? Get your ass up and farm, hunt, forage. It's no worse off than frontier America 200 years ago. The difference? People.
Oh and third world isn't poverty. It's a political alignment. Saudi fucking Arabia is a third world country.
Edit to add: I had to look this up. This was the doing of white people apparently. Afrikaners are white. I was wondering why all the pictures were doing a nazi salute.
Wait, I thought that was a dangerous war zone?
I go through there randomly to buy Lego stuff for my nephews. You're right, outside of like infant toys, it's 1/3rd Legos.
Do kids even play with action figures anymore, or are they just intended to sell to collectors? I've never seen either of my nephews with action figures. The closest they have is some plush video game characters.
Without my body being threatened
The only man threatening your body is Ronald McDonald.
I don't care if it's a jew or an American Indian, or one of those gobbledygook in Australia. It's never stolen land. It's conquered.
Windows problem has long been forcing bloatware, going way back to at least Windows 95 and the forcing of Internet Explorer stuff everywhere. Then they started with telemetry. My favorite Windows, Windows 2000. It's XP without all the shit.
I did have to roll my laptop back to Windows. I'd put Linux on it, but I forgot a large use case of that machine is OBD interfaces for car work, and I'm not taking the time to make those already janky programs work in Linux/Wine.
Still, I went back to 10 instead of 11, and it's really better. I hate the push for all these big giant icons in the middle of the screen, no labels on the taskbar, etc. It's why I hate Gnome in Linux too. If I wanted a Mac, I'd take out a second mortgage and buy one. If I decide to mess with the SSD and dual-boot my gaming machine, I'll probably put it on 10 again too. I'm on the fence as to whether or not I care. It might as well be a console, I only game on it.
They will check the melanin-to-importance chart, see the Japanese are on the wrong part of the scale, and dismiss their claims of cultural appropriation as racist.
I'm not sure why Nintendo would buy them. I assume Microsoft would hang on to Perfect Dark since I thought they were still making a game in that. Does Nintendo really want to make a Banjo-Kazooie game? What for? They could easily use their own IP and make as good of a game. I don't see them caring about any of the other IP at all.
Oh that's a Gearbox game? They don't need any sweet babies. It's already going to be ruined.
I'll probably pick up Enoch at some point too. I bought a cool reproduction of the original King James bible at an antique junk market for cheap last month. I just saw it and thought it was cool. It's basically the original book as it was printed with all the margins, the fancy letters, etc. It had the apocrypha in it (not Enoch, but the apocrypha as printed in the original KJ bible. To this point I had no idea that was even a thing. I grew up going to church and had never heard of that in my life.
I remember the first time I went to Europe I came back and got something sweet and it about knocked me down with how sweet it was.
Recently have cut almost all that uber-processed shit in American food to near zero, and I feel like a different person. American food standards are just bad.
I think the last fiction book I read was the second Monster Hunter book. It's been a month or so. I've been reading the bible and some random short non-fiction things among being a bit busy.
I think I'm going to pick up The Hunt for Red October soon. I've been in the mood for some of that like military thriller stuff and I think that fits the bill. There was some obscure stuff I've read in the past but never really went into that genre a ton.
Is that Caitlin Clark a tranny? I keep wondering why I hear so much about her/it. What is so interesting?
You know, I get it, a business likely needs to be in the banking systems to operate. It's not like this woman was running a boring business doing interior decorating and shit happened. Yet in this case, this person is intentionally going into something controversial, and they bank with Bank of America and do nothing for asset diversification and protection?! What did they expect to happen? It reminds me of the lead up to January 6 I was seeing people, "We got our plane tickets and hotel right on the Capitol Mall, yay! We will go support the greatest President!" Totally ignoring that it was so obviously a trap.
I'm in engineering at a corporation, there's never much interest in such things in those groups. The sales and marketing types (extremely woman dominated) come around with this shit "omg get excited, it's fun!" No, fun would be letting me get back to doing my job so I can go home and do what I find fun. I do not want to do "team building", "exciting kickoff meeting", and what not.
I have no idea, that's the only time I've bothered to engage with the latest crop. There always seems to be at least one going around on here.
I remember making a long cable with RJ-12 to serial port adapters for local games, file transfer, etc. I also remember calling friends on the phone ahead of time to set up what we are going to play on a modem before connecting. Then having to let everyone know I'm playing a game, don't touch the phones or it will drop, and it did, often.
So I guess I'm old?
Yeah, I’d really prefer not use Debian-based at all. I only tried Xubuntu because of that. I started with Manjaro first. I’ll probably just run with Xubuntu at this stage at least until I get used to the in-and-outs of gaming on Linux.
I’m curious, how much of your personal game collection natively supports Linux, versus support via Wine, etc.?
Anyone that hasn't checked them out before, they go way back. A lot of the people here weren't even born when Ys I came out, yet they were putting out bangers like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkyOs1Mj7Cc on PC FM synth chips.
I don't have much that I bought anymore. Then the files on my Plex are a mess.
As to music though irrespective of what I have, this is probably my top 10 that I actually listen to the most, in no particular order. I don't necessarily like everything from any of them though: Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Alice in Chains, System of a Down, Waylon Jennings, George Strait, Johnny Cash, Beethoven, Chopin
Doesn't really fit together, but it's mostly accurate to listening time spent. The list could go on and on.
It's video game soundtracks for Falcom games (Japanese dev). They are fantastic though. Half the reason to play Falcom games.
Ploy to gain voters I assume?
I've yet to see any reason to actually buy Gamestop stock outside of the initial run when it was very obviously over-shorted. That's not the case anymore, and I'm not sure why to waste time with a loser otherwise.
