the best part is the cook is learning new skills each week by trying new ways to cook eggs. the boyfriend is probably getting in his exercise.

they are bettering each other through the feud. I love it.

There’s are multiple leftist gun associations and they all have my full support (and the SRA has my membership).

Unlike the MAGA lunatics, the left actually has something to protect: those who are under attack and are unable to protect themselves. The women and the LGBTQ+ people in our country NEED to be able to protect themselves because the government is obviously not interested in their safety.

These organizations are not militias. We don’t plan attacks, we don’t conspire to subvert order. Our purpose is to train and protect those who need protection the most.

Wow it’s almost like this was predictable. Good thing all those liberals who didn’t vote for Harris could not have possibly known Trump would be even worse…

Simple: It’s diversity. They hate diversity and would rather live their lives only interacting with people like themselves and never having their world view challenged.

It’s racism and there’s a shocking amount of folks who will just straight up tell you that they are racist if it’s not in public where it could affect their jobs. There’s also plenty of losers who don’t care and are just openly racist, but they don’t tend to have careers on the line.

I went into Walmart yesterday for my annual soap/shampoo/mouthwash bulk purchase as they have the products I like at the best price (in bulk). I got to the section and it was all locked up behind glass…

I turned around and walked right out. No idea where I’m gonna get it from now, but I’m not gonna support that bullshit.

The claims of mass losses due to shoplifting have been proven false multiple times over. These are just racist store policies intended to make you spend more time in their store or to buy online or from mobile apps.

Enshitification keeps on keeping on.

You can get them pretty cheap if you’re patient.

Personally I use the IKEA alternative. It works really well.

All my gear is stuff I’ve saved from the dumpster at work except my hard drives and my UPS. I’m using the IKEA end tables instead of racks (I think they are called lakka?). My jbod chassis is huge and very loud, but it was free. I dropped cables into my basement and I only hear it when I’m down there.

I started off with just a desktop tower full of spare parts, but over time it’s slowly become a pretty impressive stack.

This reminds me so much of my dad (a house painter) when I was a kid! He was always down to indulge my curiosity by experimenting or building something. It was fun at the time, but I’m now in engineering and I’d say a lot of it is just because my dad thought it would be fun to attach a potato cannon to a go kart.

The irony in this is fucking delightful. No one wants Americans using this kind of brain rot social media. Maybe that’s a sign…

What percentage of the gamers that you know would just be able to find and download an emulator from a git repo hosted on .onion or .i2p?

For me, that’s just me. None of my gamer buddies would put in that effort, they’d just buy a product or play a game from steam.

I think we’re still a long way from privacy focused protocols being mainstream in the way the web has become in the last 15 years.

Why is their top instance not compatible? Pixelfed.social gives me errors when I try to auth

The experience of playing modern games on a modern AAA “high end” PC is obviously going to be better if you care about things like ray-tracing and high framerates or resolution. You can’t really dispute that.

But it would be stupid to say you’re wrong if you just want to play that same game on your system if it actually runs. If the game is playable and you’re having fun, you’re doing it correctly.

I only upgrade when I start to see multiple games a year that just straight up don’t work on my computer.

Can he instead just stick a gun in his mouth?

Xbox Game Pass for PC is an incredible value, even with the caveat of having to run windows (which sucks so bad). That’s always my top rec for PC gamers.

Elden Ring is still my number one game. It’s awesome and will run great on your new PC as well as your deck. It’s also got a lot in common with your listed games.

Grounded is a great game as well! It’s a reasonably difficult survival crafting game (like Subnautica). Same goes for Return to Moria.

Bingo!

I updated my previous comment with the details I had forgotten. Commenting again since you probably won’t see an update.

In summary: google Devon Arthurs. He’s a neo-nazi kid who converted to an ISIS wacko and then killed some people and took some others hostage. That’s one clear connection.

Yeah but people don’t dress up in ugly logo covered clothing and face/body paint and spend millions and millions of dollars to build and fill up specialized stadiums with screaming fans to watch strangers play chess.

A game is a game. The actual stakes are basically the same when I play Mario Kart on my couch as when a couple dozen dudes in tights smash into each other in the cold at the sports balls stadium. There’s a winner and non-winners and the outcome means basically nothing to the people spending money to watch and wear their overpriced matching fan attire.

Return to Moria has been really fun! Playing online with my buddy all day the last two days.

Pretty slow moving for a survival/crafting game, but we’re both big Tolkien fans and the fan service is pretty great.

Boss fights have been quite interesting and when progression finally happens it feels really satisfying.

Becoming very invested in watching strangers play games for money.

Actually the FBI has been recommending people use more secure communications lately due to Chinese spying through SMS network infrastructure.
