Looks like they learned from Gamestop how to value items.

I hate when they seem to think that everyone doesn't care, but only the billionaires and a few corporations are causing the majority of the climate change.

Why does everyone have to give up eating meat, so that companies like SpaceX can dump more Methane than cows burp in a a year because they save money on Methane fuel?

Why does everyone have to buy new super expensive electric cars without any increases in minimum wages in 15 years?

Why do we all have to live in mega cities with mass transit and walking everywhere, but I'm disabled and walking everywhere will send me back into a wheelchair.

It bugs me that everything in the climate change news puts it on everyone, instead of calling all of the major polluters to account and their politicians who keep pushing the gas petal for money.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm pretty sure most of the regular people just can't afford to make the needed changes because the economy is so top-heavy that no corporation is willing to increase their labor costs because of greed.

But, maybe it's just me.

It only got called save-scumming when consoles were unable to save outside of their precious save points.

For us who have always played on PC it was called playing the game.

My roommate just bought the 3, 4, and New Vegas and asked me for the best play order to play the series in.

I just gave her the starter order of 3 then New Vegas and then to ask me if she wants to really dive into the vault afterwards.

Just 1 episode with me slightly complaining about lore during it and she bought the games. Looked beautiful, but too much 76.

Funny how that if collapse happens, only their security guards will be enjoying those bunkers.

Plus you're locked into Mac only ecosystem. Even if controllers get made later, you can only play what works on iPads or screen sharing with your Mac.

Hand tracking sounds cool, but how he explained it in the review it's not as useful as the Index's hand controller because you have to always have your hands in sight. And random movements make things happen you don't mean to happen.

This definitely isn't like the iPhone launch.

I agree with you. People seem to think everyone has the addictive response, when people like me have such a muted response.

I have spent the last 20 years with Chronic Nerve pain. Morphine doesn't work with me, and I rarely feel alcohol unless it's at poisonous levels. I tried to use Cannabis for pain management and spent almost $3K a year for two years of buying the highest potency I could find. I spent those years constantly smoking or vaping every hour to try to control the pain. I ended up damaging my blood vessels in my brain.

Even in pain management at the VA they won't give me the medication that works and just throw massive amounts of buprenorphine at me, which does nothing.

I understand that some people have a problem, but for me I wish their voices would stop being amplified over the reality that people need access to opioid pain medication. Tylenol is not what people should have to take for major damage.

One of the best online Reddit stories, with forest stairs.

The only thing I seem to miss from the move to Lemmy...

What I meant was that it is starting to get simple to play games using Linux now.

I'm not a teenager anymore who enjoys getting games to work by editing settings outside of games like during the Win 3.11 and MS-DOS days.

After decades working IT jobs I don't want to do work when I'm trying to relax. Linus will have a nearly seamless system when Win 10 reaches EOL.

Yep. Gaming is starting to work on Linux, so I will move to Linux once Microsoft cancels 10.

11 has nothing more than more telemetry and tracking going for it. Gaming is slower, so why would I upgrade for a worse experience.

I play old games still anyways. Linux is more secure than Windows 11 anyways. I won't upgrade to 11, and turned off TPM in BIOS so 11 won't automatically install.

I do the same thing. I never got an Epic account, and really spend more money on GOG.

I enjoy the Epic exclusives because when it lands on Steam or GOG, it's usually feature complete and less buggy.
