  • Another reason to use Linux..

    Jump

  • I actually made three new friends on new years eve completely through mentioning Linux. We were at a party and I had a really bad year last year so I was rusty in the "talking to people" department, the few people I knew there, who are indie games devs that don't use Linux, said something (can't remember exactly what) that made me reply with a Linux joke and those three people moved their chairs closer to me with a "ooooh, a linux nerd, let's fucking go" energy. We went on such a nerd dive that they party host told us that we aren't allowed to talk Linux anymore or we'd have to leave.We talked a lot more through the night and had to really concentrate to not get thrown out, haha.

  • The world is trying to log off U.S. tech

    Jump

  • That really doesn't fit here IMO. It took decades of bullshit, law breaking, blatant spying, hostile persuasion etc. of US IT being forced onto the world, and without Trump and the fucking nightmare circus that's going on this wouldn't have happened. The world would have kept bending the knee and even inviting all of it forever, it took THIS MUCH to get the world to take a step back and realise that this isn't a good thing.

    This is becoming the new word that people just seem unable to get right and it is just as easy to understand as all the other common ones. It's seriously like there's a conscious campaign to make more and more people forget more and more basic words and grammar, and most of those that make those mistakes are American. You gotta be so dumb to not get this right.

  • Congratulations, you're so fucking dumb that I felt my own brain cells dying from just reading your comment. You should just restart life, go back to kindergarten and try to learn every step of the way.

  • Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam?

    Jump

  • They could remove that competition by making a better product, but that is somehow always the last thing they'd ever think about. It never stops being so fucking weird with all these business people who go to great lengths to do shitty stuff and always end up making it worse for everyone except a quick buck for themselves, even though they could easily make a lot more for a longer time by simply doing a good job. But no, that would require anything other than immediate greed. Absolutely vile people.

  • I often think in vague concepts and feelings and rarely do someone perfectly capture what those are, but you did with those two words. I want a painting of her hanging on one of my walls.

  • I actually don't know, it's been my favorite/lucky number since I was a kid. I've really thought about it and tried to remember, I've asked my parents etc. but no one knows. It's a really cool number though, some random things:

    The golden angle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_angle

    Age of the universe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_the_universe

    The periodic table should end at 137 elements. Here's a good blog post about it: https://gravityandlevity.wordpress.com/2013/04/27/where-the-periodic-table-ends/

    And here's just about the number itself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/137_(number)

    Here's a great video about 1/137: https://youtu.be/RCSSgxV9qNw

    And an article (there are many more about it): https://science.howstuffworks.com/dictionary/physics-terms/why-is-137-most-magical-number.htm

    There's a lot more where 137 pops up, but please don't take this as me thinking it's some deeper thing and that 137 is the truth of the universe or whatever else conspiracy mumbojumbo. I'm a science nerd and just think it's fun to have it pop up in so many places of importance, and I know most of those are via our own completely subjective measurement scales (a circle being 360°, measuring the age of the universe in earth years etc.) Some have asked if it has anything to do with 1337, and it has no connection to that.I have a fantasy (as in it only exists in my head, so far) sci-fi universe that I've been developing for most of my life where 137 is important that I hope to do something with in the future. Like writing a book, making a game etc. all I can say is that blade runner and 2001 are major inspirations for it. I gotta head to bed but can post more fun things about it tomorrow.

  • It's still better than the vast majority of similar guides that are posted. Most of them seem to be proton ads, which is an objectively worse thing, and most others have stuff like brave on the list. And it's not like they tried to hide it here, it's right there at the bottom. Seeing them actually give alternatives to even their own things is great IMO. The only fault here was OP not making it clear in the title where the image is from, no matter how obvious that is.

  • The Oblivion remaster is a lot more than just modern graphics though... There are a ton of completely changed mechanics, new ones and others that are just tweaked. It's very much not just a graphical refresh.

  • It's shocking in the meaning of the shocking nature of the act. It doesn't matter how expected this was, it doesn't make the act of pedophilia and rape any less shocking.
