The fancy joysticks is the only thing I might actually want.
Since nobody has made a controller as reliable as the old wired 360 controller and you can;t get that anymore I’d really like something less prone to stick drift if you give it a funny look.
If either party paid attention to their voters we would have had an election of Bernie Sanders vs Ron Paul years ago, but both of them have their chosen one, and the only time we’ve seen a massive pushback against that has been the time the alternative was actually worse.
I mean, to be fair, consoles are being jacked up to insane levels as well.
To be fair is you’re into something like Ubislop it is really the only way to go, the integrated excessive DRM on a console keeps you from dealing with a terrible launcher, three layers of DRM, anti-tamper, and rootkit KLAC crap.
The payment processor thing was a mess, and they really went through and mass delisted a ton of things that did not meet the criteria, including a lot of SFW stuff.
The fact that they complied so readily, and overreacted so much, makes them pretty sus to me.
They used to be right below GOG for me, and I suppose they still are, but I trust them about as much as I trust Valve to not randomly delist things because some Karen in Australia whined.
Shame, they had issues, but every game improved.
When most developers are getting worse with every release, Spiders was getting better, and now they’re gone.
Guardrails are meant to keep the little people in line, the government and corporations just do what they please, and at most they pay a fine. Nothing is illegal, after all, the cost is just higher than any of us can pay.
I keep watching RISC, running a lot of ARM stuff now expecially with Pis using it, but getting out of the licensing mess altogether seems like what we should all be aiming for. Plus it’s getting more advanced, and there are more things compiled for it, even RISC repos for distros designed to run on the chips.
This is the Mossad agent in charge of managing the Epstein clients, most of which were invited to that dinner.
I like the star in it, reminds me of a sticker, which is an odd mental association but I swear like a sailor while dropping that in fuck.
I spent waaaaaay too much time when NMS did the update where we could build out the custom corvettes. But then I did the same when they updated freighter bases to be worth building.
I’ll take the Zuckwit over Bozos or Ellison.
Yeah, it’s nice that they fixed the ozone and acid rain, but now they’ve gone and walked back what stopped it, so we’ll see it again soon enough.
At least in the 80s there was potential for improvement, in spite of the problems, rather than an eternal spiral into oblivion.
We also were still able to rely on legal protections rather than having it all privatized and laws bypassed by T&C.
People have commuted suicide, though.
Just because it’s not a physical addiction does not men it can’t be as extreme, and generally a physical addiction will end up with nausea, exhaustion, and mood swings rather than death. It takes deep or long-term addiction to be fatal.
They are deployed to addict, there is some benefit to them, Google used one back before they dropped “Don’t be evil” to enhance the relevance of search results.
Now they use it to censor, and sell shit, but it was not a bad technology before it was corrupted.
The biggest issues I’ve had with sd cards has been the exFAT file system, not the card itself, the ext4 or btrfs drives are soooo much faster and cleaner to use than “compatible” exFAT formatting.
I was looking for a 2TB 2230 and they have a few at around $200, then most are at or over $500. They’re nuts right now.
8GB dedicated, but shared increases that.
I do give props for not using Nvidia, that 3070 is the last time I put up with them.
They’re charging more now to rent than it costs to buy, it made sense if you didn’t want to keep something, but now the consolidation and enshittification has kicked in and there is zero value to “streaming” period.
