Thanks for sharing that, even despite the uncontrollable facepalm that resulted. What’s terrible is that despite the fact that this artist is so crazy and racist, his art is actually pretty good.

Sad, because I was a fan of them and bought all their games from Saint’s Row 1 all the way to Gat out of Hell (although not in chronological order) and got Agents of Mayhem for free somewhere, but think they’ve made some bad moves lately.

I think it all started going downhill from Agents of Mayhem, and them screwing up with the reboot of Saint’s Row was probably the nail in the coffin. I wish they’d just made Saint’s Row 5 instead, with wacky time travel shenanigans and a more polished set of superpowers.

At the point where they decided to “reboot” to something old school and grittier (TOO old school, imo) they really didn’t get what their fanbase wanted, and what new players who’d only heard of and experienced Saint’s Row 4 would get excited about.

They could’ve probably taken Saint’s Row up to 6 entries if they’d just iterated on the formula from 4 and possibly Gat out of Hell (I wouldn’t know, I got distracted and didn’t play it after I bought it, ironically). Similar to how United Front Games (the developer of Sleeping Dogs) could’ve probably stayed in business if they’d just made Sleeping Dogs 2 instead of that horrible “free to play” multiplayer asset flip of some of the least interesting elements of Sleeping Dogs 1.

Honestly, probably the only way to save the Environment and Democracy. Too much power in the hands of the few leads to perpetual effective monarchy. It’s why the Founding Fathers were against large amounts of inherited wealth, particularly inherited wealth that creates dynasties in perpetuity.

I know people don’t like the Founding Fathers that much lately, and I see why, but conservatives really don’t understand them, and deliberately misrepresent them, because not doing so would undercut all conservative “policies”.

World’s a mess because of inequality and the concentration of almost all wealth and power into the hands of a small amount of sociopaths. I honestly think the only way to solve this permanently is to cap the amount of wealth and power any individual or family can have.

Like Omegaman said, it’s a dumb name, but it basically refers to “different” people getting forced into more polluted environments, along with the really cold and hot areas that are more likely to suffer catastrophic disasters from climate change.

For example, Native American and Black people being forced to live in areas near dirty factories that have high rates of cancer. And if they try to move to places that are cleaner, they usually get turned down when they try to buy or rent properties for various made up reasons.

Studies have been conducted where if someone in a group like that gets even 1 White (or sometimes Asian) roommate, they suddenly get magically approved to rent that apartment in a clean area.

“Here now, wot’s all this then?”

Given how modern AAA games are and Bethesda’s recent track history, it’s not negative to be skeptical, it’s smart.

Especially since despite Microsoft watching over them and helping them to have the most “bug free launch in history” it’s still probably going to be a hot mess for weeks to a month after launch. I want to be pleasantly surprised, but I’m not getting my hopes up.

Plus, the recent release of Baldur’s Gate 3 with no microtransactions or season passes, etc. has gotten peoples’ standards up, and given that Microsoft paid a lot of money to buy Bethesda, we’re aware that they’re going to have to make that money back somehow, and will probably give into the temptation to do some really player unfriendly things to do it.

Bethesda’s been going all in on surprisingly expensive microtransactions for really tiny amounts of content, like in Fallout 4 and 76, and it wouldn’t be shocking for them to continue in that direction. People aren’t being mindlessly negative, they’re looking at current and past trends and making an educated guess about the future.

I’ll probably transition my AMD 8350 build over to Linux when Win10 stops being supported. As opposed to my mom’s FX-8370 build, which I’ll probably just have to replace with a new Windows 11 system, as there’s no way I’m expecting her (an elderly woman) to learn anything other than Windows. Especially since she’s reliant on Windows-only apps.

The actual hardware she’s using will probably be converted to a Linux Desktop, but I’ll have to migrate her data to a new mini Windows 11 PC or something.

Au contraire, I think more rich people should take risks like this. It shows how macho and ahead of the curve and disruptive they are. All those other rich people that aren’t willing to get into an experimental vehicle with risk of catastrophic failure and even death are just crybaby namby pamby cucks who aren’t living their best lives!

Just buy ride it! If you were on your deathbead, and you looked back, wouldn’t you regret not having tried it while you still could’ve?

I was like that when I was young. Now all my plans involve me forcing myself to do 1 or 2 productive things a day besides the stuff I have to do, and then just calling it a day and pushing aside the rest of the stuff I probably should do till tomorrow. Or more realistically, the next weekend or holiday.

I don’t lie to myself anymore, I just admit that if it’s not 100% vital, it won’t get done quick, if at all.

Looks like it’s the software implementation of MMORPG - Many Men Online Roleplaying Girls.

And the “girl” they’re roleplaying is your mother in law. It’s all like, “Why can’t you do better for yourself, I never thought you were good enough for her.” “When my husband (and her father) used to Raid, he got every pull right the FIRST time, he didn’t wipe as much as you. I never should have let her marry you.”

Everyone else has answered your other questions, but let me just say that I’ve used KDE Neon (while distro hopping) it’s both beautiful and functional. The latest KDE developments are really solid and intuitive, and based on their development updates I’ve seen on Mastodon and elsewhere, it seems like they’re really starting to understand their userbase.

I.E. they understand that most people want to double click icons to launch them even though almost the entire development team prefers single click. They’re not doing the tunnel-vision dev thing where they force what they love on users even though the vast majority of the userbase prefers the opposite.

Edit: It looks and feels gorgeous, and even similar alternatives like Kubuntu kind of feel a little worse to me. Then again, I’m a serious Cinnamon / KDE fan, so other peoples’ mileage may vary.

This is THE most anti-typical Lois Lane design I’ve ever seen, and it’s honestly amazing. It’s like they threw out every visual design element that most Lois Lanes have ever had throughout history and then went, “Hell with it, let’s just make something cute, fresh, and hot and then call whatever comes out Lois Lane.”

I agree. It’s active, but not “holy crap it’s overwhelming everything else in my feed” levels of overload.

It’s funny because while it’s probably named after the King (Muten Roushi wears a hawaiin shirt most of the time after all) the Japanese have equivalent words and characters that mean something different (Turtle Clan Wave). Probably a funny coincidence that Toriyama found.

Looks like it’s undownvoted, so probably a misclick. When the up and down votes are that close together, it is surprisingly easy. I mass downvoted a bunch of stuff earlier today before I caught myself and corrected it.

All of those mistaken downvotes were actually upvotes.

Ah, the Windows approach. The few times I worked with PC Repair shops, backing up everything and reinstalling the OS was the go to for most “repairs”. Especially since it was faster and cheaper than just researching all the issues and repairing them the “right” way. Although to be fair, if the OS is borked enough, backup + reinstall IS the right way.

Yep, Ronald Reagan was the last guy who should’ve been saying that. “Before you try to fix anyone else, fix yourself” is what he should’ve been telling himself.

Yep. I was surprised at how much of a downgrade it was from the first movie, and it had some odd and disturbing scenes like Ralph force-feeding a cute thing until it exploded. I was like, “What the hell is up with this out of left field sadism.” like who approved that at Disney?

I don’t disagree, but there’s a 18+ / NSFW checkbox for posts like this.
