Do you think that lightsaber had a training setting so it didn’t actually damage anything? Because if it did I can imagine Anakin switching that on while killing the younglings and batting them out the council chamber windows like he’s at the batting cages.

If only they could agree on what size Spheal is.

That look of shock better be because you forgot to prep!

So why do we need Jensen Huang?

Is this liberal as in American liberal or liberal as in Australian liberal?

I could have borgar every day if I wanted, but I don’t. Instead, I buy all the stuff to make my own borgar, and then leave the rest of it to rot in the fridge for weeks on end and inevitably throw it away. Then I’m so guilt-ridden for wasting food that I don’t make borgar for months.

I think that’s a tad excessive. Sure, Windows sucks, but it’s not my machine so I don’t give a shit. Now, if they expected me to bring my own machine and also insist that it’s Windows, I’ll get pissed off and refuse the offer. Their machine though? They can demand whatever they want, so long as I can actually do my job.

9/10 times it’s not Windows I’m fighting against when I’m unable to do my job, it’s the IT department not giving me admin rights over the right folders so I can’t even install Docker without spending 3 days with them to get the right permissions.

Back when all screens were more-or-less the same size and nothing ever had to scale. Your UI was the size it was, and if your screen was too big, too bad! You can either stretch it and deal with the pixelly mess, or squint your eyes to see the teeeny tiny program.

Presumably even if Linux must provide a means of reporting an age, you can always modify that distro to always report the oldest age?

What, is Google upset about having some competition?

Isn’t FFXIV an MMO? I don’t remember it being very Game of Thrones-y.

I’m of the opinion that it really depends on the nature of the game.

For example, the children are super hyped for GTA VI, because even though GTA V came out before some of them had object permanence, they’ve been playing it for years. It’s remained in their consciousness this entire time.

Compare that to Skyrim, which came out only a year or so before GTA V, and we haven’t seen an Elder Scrolls game since… The young don’t give a toss. They weren’t playing it then, they aren’t playing it now, so there’s absolutely no attachment to Elder Scrolls as a series.

Games used to stay in the consumer’s consciousness before by having sequels made every few years, sometimes even every year! Now? It’s all live services, so it doesn’t feel like the game hasn’t had a new iteration for over a decade.

In other words: Kids aren’t attached to franchises anymore because the game industry is stagnating.

You forgot to scoop!

Which shaders do you use?

It’s a very specific subset of neurodivergents, tbh. I don’t see much discussion around typically geeky topics. On Reddit, if I had a fleeting thought or question about a fictional world, I had /r/asksciencefiction. On the fediverse? No such board. The answer to that is “Oh just create it”, but I don’t have the time or the attention span to moderate such a place.

I’d give it till 2090 before we get history students talking about WW3 properly. WW2 ended in much of Europe and Asia being completely devastated, and the recovery was only as quick as it was because the Americas were mostly untouched by the war. WW3 is gonna be much the same, except possibly worldwide. We’ll bounce back, humanity tends to do that, but it’ll take longer before nation states are recovered enough to have these sorts of lessons.

I thought EasyAntiCheat didn’t like Linux?

The only thing stopping me from moving to Linux is the fact I want to play Battlefield 6 and Space Marine 2.

I thought you were talking about cloud compute and I was interested, but then I saw that it’s just cloud file storage.

My “For You” feed is all trans people, gays, Hazbin Hotel, Pokemon, seals and otters.

…Kinda wish there was more Star Wars in there, tbh. I like Star Wars.
