  • What headsets are linux gamers using?

    Jump

  • I'm just using a turtle beach headset, one of the stealth models that mute when you flip the mic up.

    Occasionally need to unplug the receiver but otherwise works well

  • Marathon | Launch Gameplay Trailer

    Jump

  • Yeah, if they had called it something else I would've checked it out. I do like the art style and the world building but...

    It ain't Marathon.

    "allegedly" you can board the alien spaceship and see the marathon enemies of old as some sort of unlockable raid thing... I saw the floating invisible alien in one of the trailers for about 3/4 of a second... but genuinely why even call it marathon?

  • The City of Chicago will allow residents to issue parking tickets

    Jump

  • I was just thinking that! They're literally giving free money to a private entity!

  • Imagine making Patton look progressive 😬

    Jump

  • Maybe it's because I'm drowning in corporate BS, platitudes, and just all around mistrust of anybody trying to motivate me.

    But I kinda would trust the guy on the left a bit more. You hate me, sure fine, but hey you're gonna risk us all equally. Blunt but I at least appreciate the honesty.

    Patton is saying exactly what you would say when you want the group you care about the least to charge in the front... You know what I mean?

    Minnesota hasn’t given its electoral votes to a Republican candidate in 50 years. Minnesota represents everything that this administration hates. This is why they want to humiliate Minnesotans.

    Jump

  • Probably because abandonment in the winter is just a death sentence.

    If someone is homeless in Minnesota and you don't let them in, especially when it's 12 below like today, they're dead. You killed them. You could've just let them crash on your couch for at least the night.

    It kinda kills a lot of usual republican talking points.

    "let's close down this homeless shelter it's a waste of tax money"

    "so we just kill them instead?"

    "what? no, I'm sure someone will take them"

    "So just kill the shifty and scary looking ones?"

    "no one is killing anyone!"

    "you are, right now, if you kick them out in the cold."

    It's very explicitly a maneuver that kills, there's no real wiggle room there. If it was only 60 at night you can kick them out and then say "well now their fate is in their hands" and explain away all their pains and problems and if they die it was several layers removed from you and it's not that big a deal. The harshness simplifies things. Then that sympathetic decision gets applied to the more complicated things because it's kinda the default now...

  • An Anonymous DC National Guardsman Tells All - “This is not what I signed up to do.”

    Jump

  • No, the national guard is not ICE. The national guard is basically manpower on command and often times not with anything violent in mind.

    Think aftermath of a hurricane or tornado, or building levees in a flood.

  • del

    Jump

  • This, I've had it happen twice where someone messages me out of the blue with an inane general question. I text the guy in questions old phone asking (hey its duke, are you sending messages on facebook?) And the answer both times was "I haven't used it in like five years"

    One stopped the hacker and the other didn't give a shit.

  • You should know this, Scotty.

    Jump

  • Yeah, the moment they stop maintaining the warp they're no longer cheating physics to travel faster than light.

    I also gotta imagine it's a controlled process and just abruptly dropping is gonna be... harsh on the hull and crew.

  • Honestly, I grabbed linux because I wanted something that worked and wouldn't change.

    Windows keeps changing, a lot. Now getting to the point where none of my computers could handle 11. So I just said screw it, kept my hardware and now I run Ubuntu

    Was not as disruptive as I thought

    Saw paintings are in again

  • Statistically, probably with the beetles. 🪲

    Jump

  • Not only that, the only thing that makes them spooky and startling is that they randomly fly around like a dumbass towards anything light related.

    When they're just sitting still being chill they're actually quite adorable.

  • Didn't have this one on my bingo card

    Jump

  • Oh thank God it's not just me. I'm literally just killing time on the road before a party and I am so fucking lost right now.

    I'm trying to be social and my curiosity is insane right now.

    Reclusive Rabbit

  • You're given $20,000 USD (or the equivalent in your local currency) to spend, but anything still left by the end of the day you lose for good. What are you spending it on?

    Jump

  • Probably dump it all into my mortgage.

    I think that would actually give me the most bang for the buck.

  • World’s largest web houses 110,000 spiders thriving in total darkness

    Jump

  • I mean that's the end result.

    If they don't get along then each one needs their own box/pen, which means they're fed and harvested separately, which makes it hella inefficient.

  • World’s largest web houses 110,000 spiders thriving in total darkness

    Jump

  • Yeah, the conditions are specific, but that's also true for Wasabi and truffles. The big problem with spiders has always been their canabalistic and solitary natures. Truffles and Wasabi don't kill eachother.

    Also just because the biome is specific, doesn't mean it's necessary. Biggest issues are probably their immune system. Such isolated things are usually easily hit by fungus or bacteria.

  • World’s largest web houses 110,000 spiders thriving in total darkness

    Jump

  • Woah, could this actually turn spider silk farms viable?

  • Who wants Housing?

    Jump

  • ... that is an unbelievable number. As in I literally don't believe it.

    That would be pretty much 100% of all non Mamdani voters according to the election results.

    If these guys voted instead of threatening to move, Mamdani probably wouldn't have won.

  • lex buffs

    Jump

  • Haven't played but I'm pretty sure there's a tabletop RPG called thirsty sword lesbians that does this...

  • The Andrew Cuomo Campaign Is All in on MAGA Influencers

    Jump

  • Well, the rules are forcing them to run with Mamdani. Plenty of Democratic lawmakers do not like it. Cory Booker, Chuck Schumer, a lot of democratic legislators in his own state are not endorsing him. A lot of them did endorse Cuomo, if they didn't this year, they have in the past, so to be suddenly mum and not even a feeble "I support him" is... odd at best.

    There's also no word behind the scenes that any legislators are even attempting to get Cuomo to drop out after... how many years has the argument been that third parties split the democratic vote? Now you have a Democrat doing just that and no condemnation from any new York legislators that he's risking a republican victory. Not even a chant of "Blue no matter who" If bernie sanders had ran independent against Hillary, would Democratic leaders be this silent? Schumer would be furious and making press conferences condemning him. He doesn't do that to cuomo.

    In the meantime, multiple sources have been pushing mayor Adams to step down from his own independent race. Both democratic and republican (and billionaire), presumably to get more votes to cuomo.

  • In everyway

    Jump

  • Yeah admittedly I was originally pissed that they completely botched the original story of puss in boots.

    But the character is just so good. Banderas was the perfect casting, and you can tell he loves the role. The upgrade won me over.
