My favorite of the protests was DnDmemes becoming a goblin porn subreddit, and the final reply of the main mod “I shitposted me way in here, I’ll shitpost my way out”. That and demanding a d20 roll for persuasion(?) from the admins
Sony had NEVER been good at marketing online games. SOE was legendary for not advertising anything for any major game expansions or releases, relying entirely on word of mouth.
The world’s foremost experts on whinging as I understand it.
Oops, the company we outsourced the software development to went under!
We’re soooooorry
That and running games in a VM has been known to get you the banhammer for multiplayer.
We definitely don’t need more Andrew Tates in the world.
TIL. Electroplating is cool stuff
I mean… actual gold isn’t crazy valuable these days, is it? It’s used in quite a bit of electronics for its corrosion resistance and conductivity IIRC.
I actually tried linux (Fedora) this past weekend; I had fewer issues installing and using it as a day to day computer, than I did with Windows. Tried out Gnome and KDE both, preferred gnome but UI scaling (for my shit vision) was simpler out-of-the-box on KDE (about 125-150% was comfortable for me.) I found KDE a bit overwhelmingly customizable to start out with, and maybe a bit bloated.
The caveat to this was Gaming, in my case I did not have a good time with gaming (probably because I am trying to run at 4k and play a game dependant on Ubisoft DRM, as well as an older MMO that doesnt handle high DPI screens and ui scaling). Very frame-y at 4K, a decent amount of tinkering is/was required. YMMV, check ProtonDB as it is heavily dependent on what games you play, and heavily dependent on Steam. If you want to multi-box (without software, just alt-tab through windows) an MMO, I found functionally no information on how to open multiple instances of the same game to do so (which is why I mentioned the dependency on steam, which only seems to let you have one game launched at any given time)
Moving back to windows for gaming felt like a major downgrade as far as general computer work goes. Inside of an hour I had a fully functional, up to date, linux machine. Windows 11 took 1-2 hours to install and update itself, then another hour to install drivers, then longer to de-bloat and start disabling all the stupid shit from Microsoft. I’m sure I’ll be doing that continuously for the next few weeks.
Legion was such a disappointment… I still regularly go back and play WD1 just because it has a great vibe.
FC2 was fucking awesome, loved that shit. Actual challenging and smart NPC enemies, not wave upon wave of stupid bullet sponges. You had to actually think about how to approach areas and combat.
I enjoyed 6, it was an improvement story wise compared to 5 (which was a railroad slog. Kill in a region till you get kidnapped, 3rd time, you can kill a mini boss as a treat!)
It’s not Spam, it’s “deli ham” (Armour brand makes the big one) or “Polish Ham”(Krakus brand). So much more bland than spam.

And for some fucking reason, people then want the deli to chip(shred) this cuboid abomination.
Company logos on buttplugs, the advertisement of the future.
It’s their own fault: remember to loot your corpses folks! /s
Same with “Client” instead of “User”

Is this meme even a year old? There are memes from last century still actively being used
I’d love an upgrade for my 2080 TI, really wish Nvidia didn’t piss off EVGA into leaving the GPU business…
