Switched to Firefox in 2023 and it’s wild how much shit just works now.
Oh god, please don’t make me talk about myself.

It makes a lot more sense if you reframe it as freedom for rich white landowners in the 1800s to not have to pay taxes to King George, not so much for the peons, paupers and slaves.
What fucking red line?
After the Helldivers fiasco, I think it’s time to raise the plank and hoist the sails, Yarr.
Good. We’ll see if it sticks.
For me personally, it just got to me that Sony gave negative shits while Arrowhead was fighting an uphill battle getting their game playable in the face of overnight success, and now that everything is great and the hard work is done, Sony’s seeing dollar signs and pushing their fucking corpo bullshit on a studio that sees zero benefit and suffers all the fallout. They’re all too happy to shit where Arrowhead eats and it pisses me off.
I mean, that’s the game, isn’t it? You either grind out the super credits, and the fact that’s an option at all is the Hallmark of a good game, or you pay for instant gratification. Live service doesn’t support itself.
I mean, that’s not really so bad considering you can unlock the battle passes without spending a dime past your initial investment. The timing of the nerfs might be coincidental - I do also seem to remember a Breaker - Railgun - Shield Pack monoculture being a pretty big issue.
Sony dropped an announcement requiring PSN accounts, even for PC players with no cross play enabled, presumably because it makes the numbers look better to their shareholders. Apparently it was supposed to be a requirement at launch but the PSN servers were busted and it was preventing people from getting in so they ‘temporarily’ disabled it.
I mean, hopefully Sony reverses course on this decision and we can go back to playing a good game. What you describe is the most likely outcome.
Imagine having a golden goose and wanting to make pâté out of it. Sure does make me want to buy Ghost of Tsushima when it comes out, totally.
I mean, I’m not trying to play DA for shitty-ass Boeing here, but coincidences do happen. I’m certainly more likely to believe this death was a result of bad luck than the suicide from a guy who told his family, and I quote: “If anything happens, it’s not suicide.”
No discredit to R.E.M. but my world’s been ending for over a decade and I feel like dogshit constantly. Nobody told me the apocalypse would be heralded by the dumbest fucking cryptobros and AI prompters the world’s ever seen.
Meta acquiring Oculus
As someone with industry experience working with VR, I can tell you it’s a mixed bag. I think there’s certainly no way Oculus (and consumer VR in general) takes off the way it did without Facebook’s dollars behind it, and it’s certainly paved the way to the outstanding quality of standalone HMDs that are on offer today. However, it killed the initiative for PCVR hardware with the non-consolation that Meta, Pico, and HTC offer “Link mode” on all their headsets and it’s iffy on good days, which makes B2B PCVR very difficult to facilitate without some serious legwork on lowering latency over the air connections. Would that we could revive the Rift S, that headset was perfect for our needs.
U.S. workers already shoulder the losses of their corporations. Almost every business runs a skeleton crew to maximize profits for the people at the top and when the whole thing inevitably falls apart, they get shit-canned and the C-Suite gets golden parachutes on their way to the next cannibalization.
I’m not concerned with the people who keep their blinds closed. I’m concerned with the people who want to peek in windows.
Everyone younger than the boomers. Sorry ma, grandkids are expensive and I’m having naps for dinner as it is.
Yeah, like the people who equate not voting for Hillary with sexism seem to forget that she ran a hideously out of touch campaign - “America is already great” as a direct response to “Make America great again” which didn’t exactly resonate with anyone who was making less than $200K a year and struggling with the forever recession.
I’m glad someone else said it.
My next board and all for the foreseeable future will be AMD. I’m only rocking a 13600K right now and I haven’t had any issues, but the last bios update I did specifically to get the first microcode update wiped my GPU drivers, and the gigabyte update platform installed Norton and some other network monitoring software without my consent.
