Look at the sports with systemic ad presence vs sports where it’s all “grass roots.” (The grass roots ones are mostly gone.)

Most top sports are incredibly expensive to keep running and the ones that become infested with ads are the ones that stick around for us to enjoy. If you follow less popular sports you’ll consider yourself lucky to bring in ads and sponsors.

I can barely run steam and the games I bought on steam at the same time, which is required for most games. Steam disabled certain features and bloated the software – their launcher takes more resources than actual games. AAA games. (From a decade ago, but still.)

Other launchers might be garbage but the bar seems to be pretty low. Only thing anyone can say is “get a better computer” because in their mind that is a great rebuttal to “why is a game tied to a launcher which takes up 4x as many resources as my entire OS?”

I tried googling ‘jimmy fallon vulcan’ and couldn’t find that picture, just him joking about a statue. It’s spot on though

They’re unaliving censorship, or however younger generations say it.

My favorite part of Transformers was when my government had the script changed to include Marines being heroic in a movie about giant alien robots. We really needed good PR after that whole Afghanistan and Iraq thing.

I need to try windows again. I remember it being more complex than Linux. I switched just so things were easier. Cygwin! Registry editing! Getting a Microsoft degree just to edit my desktop menus. I didn’t just sit there and install my programs like a good kid and actually wanted to, you know, do things with my computer. And boy did windows hate me for it.

I’m hoping modern IDEs or just having Linux on standby would make Windows simple enough to use.

At the very least it would balance out the stream of reports of Israel bombing / shooting yet another journalist / American / medic / humanitarian.

It’s Dean Koontz’s Frankenstein, not sure how popular that series was… The monster was named Deucalion, he was a good persona if I remember right… and he could teleport around the world.

Well we don’t live in a video game so we can use NATO to attack, like with Libya. It’s our alliance, we’ll do what we want!

My favorite name he was ever given is Deucalion.

A hidden device implanted on our cortex at birth should detonate when we suggest something like “We should let corporations solve global warming.”

The list is compiled by the MPA, a group that represents studios, etc. They work with our government, and to which degree I have no concrete idea, (edit: a trade association is supposed to work with governments on behalf of it’s members) but they merely submitted this list to our government. That’s according to the article and the torrent freak source.

I think the article wasn’t being clear and other comments seem to agree.

Wait, you guys get stall doors??

They’re still figuring out the internet

Didn’t expect Elden Ring fingers

Skyrim seemed worse when it came to grinding. It’s too easy not to sit there and train on the invincible NPCs. Sneak walk into walls within earshot of hostiles, spam conjuration on rocks near hostiles, shoot arrows at NPCs that never die.

The person who grinds speed and athletics in Morrowind goes on to do cool things. In Skyrim they’d have like 8 more hours of playtime before they could play the game.

Terminating service over allegations of piracy. Kicking someone off the internet because an automated copyright system accused them of piracy. That’s crazy.
