I get most of my gametime in on a steamdeck. And I’m sitting the SW2 out entirely. Completely underwhelming.

Operation Iraqi Freedom in NYC

Don’t worry. I’m sure we’ll get Merrick Garland as AG again.

I was going to sell my xbox for a ps5… but no way am I buying into that bullshit.

Republicans run straight to the lie factory instead of fixing shit they broke. Figures.

Repugnicans don’t want to reopen the government. They want it closed so Trump has no oversight and can implement their 100 year plan for an American dictatorship.

It’s not just that lead exposure lowers iq - it directly lowers inhibitions against violence.

He looks like a Taliban terrorist. Oh wait he is - just a different sect.

We pay more for healthcare than you do, per capita. It’s not that we don’t have free healthcare - it’s A) that the oligarchs have figured out how to build a money siphoning machine out of our healthcare system and B) that they can use it to enforce social classes.

He won’t negotiate because this isn’t a normal government shutdown over budgetary issues. This is the end of the federal government. This is how it dies. It literally just runs out of money while terrorizing people so that even the most liberal libs learn to hate the federal government and accept the new dictatorship of their redstate masters.

That’s a problem with high heat and non-stick surfaces. Rice cookers are much, much lower heat.

He stopped Israel from indiscriminately murdering civilians for like a full week. Nobel Prize!!

I think the biggest difference between this bubble and the ones that pop are whether the valuations were built by debt. In this case - no. So when their products turn out to be less useful than they claim, it will devaluate. But the debt issued to build the bubble wont go through a sudden correction that is amplified and causes an even bigger collapse like in 2008 or the dotcom bubble.

I really love roguelikes and I’m mad that their version is unsupported and basically unplayable right now

edit: The Pit. I want to play that on my steamdeck so badly.

My headcanon is that it is in the 40k universe

Do you have to ride a world sized turtle to traverse it?

I prefer the STL in Card’s Ender’s Game series. They asymptotically approach the speed of light so the passengers only have several weeks pass when travelling to far flung locations but the universe around them experiences a normal passage of time which may be tens of years. This has really big implications on the plots in several stories.

They do have an ansible communications system that does allow instantaneous communication over astronomical distances.

Oh so it was a kickback for the insurance companies

Look at it this way - how does a business make its money?

• Google makes nearly 100% of its revenue from ad sales that are juiced by collecting every detail they can about as many people as possible.
• Amazon makes most of its money off of AWS because physical logistics are extremely expensive but they commit endless amounts of federal crimes by ripping off consumers and sellers to subsidize their total market takeover of physical goods. Oh and they make money by selling ad spots to their sellers that are juiced by stealing as much information about its users as possible.
• Apple makes most of its money on the app store subscriptions to apps it didnt write - like if you subscribe to spotify through the app they take a cut. It makes the rest of its money by selling devices that tend to have higher build quality than competitors. A very small sliver of its income comes from advertisements. Not even 1% and it is publicly declared as non-targetted advertising. They dont really have a financial interest in collecting your data.

That’s the difference. They’re all shit companies from multiple angles. But at least Apple doesn’t actively disrespect you with unwanted advertising targetted to you by spying on you. They disrespect you by removing headphone jacks and making silicon valley executives behave like steve jobs who was notoriously a horrible person.

What you mean you dont watch the superbowl for the commercial advertisements that take up approximately 80% of the time of the 6 hour game?
