I'ma say it: Spinning disks are still a good choice for gaming. I wouldn't run my OS off one, but I would and do install my games library on one.

Most of the time, the more you say you hate or are not x, the more you actually are x.

Or as Ron White put it...

I have imagined that ever since the Reddit emigration hype ended and things settled down a bit here that the vast majority of world and shit users are mostly lurkers and not terribly vocal, as is the case on a lot of other platforms.

One of my colleagues is a British man who just gained his US citizenship in 2021. He's been here since 2007 on a marriage visa. And prior to that, he has described the immigration process as "arduous."

And getting married is apparently the easy way to get in.

You're asking them to think. That's your first mistake.

"$3,000 setup to play a game from 2010."

I have an RTX 4070 that I've been using to play Half Life. I've owned my copy for a while, but have never played it.

Drives my wife crazy lol

I also use private mode for searching things that I myself would be appalled to find in my own search history.

My orange cat is the direct opposite. You look in his general direction for even a fraction of a second, and he's all over you like Grandma's kisses.

It's sweet.

But it's also exhausting sometimes.

Edit:

Whipped up on my phone in 5 minutes

• His name is Sherlock.
• He's a year old.
• He weighs about 70 pounds/~32 kg.
• He's a mix adopted from a local shelter. Google Lens calls him a Dutch Shepherd. Might have a little pit in him. Gonna get a DNA kit for him.
• He has XXXL ears. Everyone comments on how oversized his ears are.
• He gives the softest, sweetest kisses.
• He does not like walks or new people or new places.
• He loves other dogs.
• He doesn't understand the cat. Or his boundaries.
• He pooped in the car once.
• If left to his own devices, he will eat all the grass in the yard. The concept of not eating too much fiber at once is one he can't digest.
• Despite not loving new people, he does warm up to you fairly quick. It took 20 minutes of my in-laws being around before he got lovey dovey on them.
• He doesn't like bones that much. He'd rather have a cloth toy he can pull apart thread by thread.
• His two favorite places in the world are 1) Daycare, and 2) Wherever mom is sitting. I'm the spare lol
• I wanted to name him Rye Bread because of the color of his coat. My sister in law has a dog named Tater and my brother's dog is named Biscuit so I thought going with the theme of carbs would be cute. But he responds to Sherlock and that just makes handling him a million times easier so we stuck with that.

Here he is peeping out the window with the aforementioned cat:

No problem with that. I think the meme is referring to people who spent 100k on outlandishly large and glitzy trucks to spend 100% of their lives on paved suburban streets.
