Top tier unpopular opinion. Good stuff. 10 paragraphs of hating on the muppets.

For the morning? Maybe. Definitely not for the day though.

Some days I forget I’m on the internet and then I read some shit like this. I woke up 20 minutes ago and that’s already enough internet for me today.

Can it fly on beer and hotdish?

It’s running pretty decent now since that lastest couple patches. But I haven’t pushed a city up past 60k population yet. I’m still a bit sore they didn’t implement bicycles. Should have been baked in at launch.

I read a reviewer that said “It’s a beautiful game about space exploration that has no space exploration” and they were completely right. It’s just fallout in space. Who thought Quick Travel the game would be compelling space exploration

Yeah agreed. Everything is very subjective to the end user. I’m one of those folks who watches a movie once and then probably will never watch it again. Purchasing physical media movie doesn’t meet my specific consumption model.

Games are often problematic for my turbo-ADHD brain. Most games I play for less than a couple hours before I quit playing never to launch it again. It’s rare that I click with a game long enough to “get my money’s worth”. Notable exceptions are city builders and factory optimization games. Those I can invest hundreds of hours into.

For me, the Xbox pc game pass has saved me sooooo much money. I can try lots of games with a guilt free wallet without acquiring games through alternative free methods.

Like I specifically said I’m not advocating for prices to increase.

By and large, I actually kinda agree. If you look at the cost per hour of entertainment you get out of a video game you like vs. other forms of media, especially something like going to a movie. But the industry won’t support higher prices yet (and I am absolutely not advocating for it). But yeah, you really can get a lot of joy for not a lot of money.

I think the really interesting on is The Friedman Doctrine.

Maybe if the motorcycle was a crate of parts with no title and a bill of sale.

If the board provided enough benefit to outweigh the cost? Sure I might be talked into it.

Reminiscent of PhysX boards when they were a thing for 30 seconds. It’s all about the return on investment for me.

I had a co-worker whom I accidentally renamed to Cunthia in several large distro emails.

I not a dev or anything. But my understanding is that it all comes down to leveraging all the capabilities of 1 single hardware configuration. You can tune and optimize your code to extract every bit of performance out of the consoles hardware because the hardware (and software too I guess) doesn’t change. PC games are much MUCH harder to optimize. Users can have a near limitless variety of hardware, driver, and OS combinations that prevent such a high level of optimization.

S&P good enough for me!

Ugh yes, finally. More time to doom scroll the feeds, numb to the real world. I just need enough dopamine to keep swiping.

Flash a stripped down rom like LineageOS with minimal google services. De-crappify it. They are well supported and documented on XDA.

Ive never used a chromecast. Can they be flashed and de-googled?

I like Android overall, but I try and avoid as much google as I possibly can.

I made the mistake of using the LG smart tv features for like 2 years. I set up a pihole to block ads and eventually WebOS just quit working because ads and trackers did t work anymore. I factory reset the tv and switched over to a Roku stick. That worked well for nearly 4 years. Now I’m on a $19 ONN 4k streaming stick from Walmart. It’s actually kinda beef for what it is. Made by Asus and flashed LineageOS on it. Audio drops out and requires a reboot every few days. I want to move to a Nvidia shield but haven’t had the funds for it because I’m in a kitchen remodel.

You’ve got my vote for M4A. My partner has all kinds of health issues and as I get older I’m getting more and more myself. It’s wild that most any diagnosis of any affliction is pretty much a financial death sentence for anyone but the wealthy. We are what I’d consider lower-middle-class and live very modest lifestyles. I feel like we live in bizarre-o world with how bad things are and everyone just keeps trucking along like everything isn’t coming apart at the seems.
