Steam just had a free weekend so I’ve been playing it. I like it a lot and I do think it’s worth playing, but it’s definitely a clunky console port, the added latency of forced multiplayer doesn’t do it any favors, and the amount of QoL locked behind microtransactions or a $13/month subscription just feels bad.

I occasionally see those types of ads in subs downloaded through the Plex UI, but usually it’s in an intro or at the end. Haven’t seen them in the middle of a dialogue yet.

About 20 years ago I was so outraged by Bonsai Kitten that I asked a friend’s mom to help me write letters to ISPs and law enforcement to try to get it taken down.

It was a site with pictures of cats in glass jars, but it had very graphic details about how they supposedly kept cats alive in jars and grew them into weird shapes… I still think it’s pretty tasteless, but it was clearly someone’s idea of satire. It felt like a big deal back then, but these days it would be nothing more than a bad meme.

Didn’t he literally have Twitter employees sleeping in the office post-acquisition and even go so far as remodeling vacated offices as makeshift hotel rooms? I doubt he’s kidding here, seems on-brand.

Yeah I’m not sure what “rape bid” is even supposed to mean, in any context. Doesn’t “bid” imply something that can be accepted?

I have no trouble believing he didn’t read something. Maybe if there were an illustrated version…

It works most of the time, and they sort of addressed the main complaint I saw, which was with the infamy system. Definitely still has some major problems, but a lot of the hate is pretty overblown.

Not sure if reverse image search would tell you acting useful, but it reminds me of the art from a comic called Fables.

I mean… Hopefully it doesn’t go on so long that anyone loses their home over it, but not being able to pay your mortgage or access your money is a pretty big deal.

The candidate who delivered Trump his first term, still doubling down on her “deplorables” strategy 7 years later.

I think it’s important to consider that the joke was made over a decade ago before getting upset that it hasn’t been accurate in over a decade.

But yeah, OP probably could have included a date in the title and avoided some of this.

It’s a comic from 2011. Here’s the source: https://www.stickycomics.com/computer-update/

I think the problem that notification LEDs were designed to solve is just solved in other ways now, notably smart watches or the Always-On Display for OLED devices. Both consume more power than a notification LED would, but they also don’t require a dedicated physical space on the phone.

From the World of Tanks wiki page for the Tiger P (Porsche variant), so take this with a grain of salt, but:

On May 26, 1941, Adolf Hitler ordered Ferdinand Porsche and the Henschel company to develop prototypes of a new heavy tank. The prototypes were shown to the Führer on April 20, 1942. Manufacturing began, but the production run was cut short due to the complexity of the tank’s drive and control systems, and a shortage of the required copper. Later, 90 produced hulls were converted into Ferdinand tank destroyers.

AKA a republican. I’d be surprised if he were anything else.

A DeSantis is a DeSantis, some just hurt more on the way out.

It’s been a terrible launch and there are still major issues that need fixing. Too little content, bad progression system, bad matchmaking system, mostly boring skill tree for loud… But I’m still having a lot of fun with it despite all of that. I wanted more out of a finished game, but at least most of the heists that it shipped with are interesting and fun. 99 Boxes can go to hell.

Does it let you set a vertical taskbar? I’ve been using StartAllBack for this and a few other things, but it’s non-free.

I like that his slippers are avocados.
