Yeah, every time I see one of these stories, I’m very confused. Who is this article for? The people dumb enough to give publishers MORE money for a half-assed, unfinished game? Are they supposed to read this article and be converted? I don’t pre-order anything and I rarely spend more than $40 on a game, so I truly don’t give a shit.

If some rich douchebag has found a way to separate fools from their money, good for him. LOL

Ah I see, that’s probably what confused me.

Wasn’t the Glorious Eggroll guy supposed to stop developing GE Proton in favor of a different, better way of doing it? I forget the specifics but I remember seeing that posted several months ago.

EDIT: found it, it’s ULGWL, since renamed to “umu”. Anybody know if that’s still happening? I was under the impression that the guy was going to eventually drop Proton GE completely for umu. But maybe I misunderstood.

If you dislike these people, stop letting them live rent-free in your head. He got elected the first time because left-leaning media wouldn’t stop attacking him, which just made conservatives love him more. Do you not see that the exact same thing is happening again? You know he’s going to win, right? He’s going to win, and it will be for the same stupid reasons.

If you want a no-code solution, I recently created a homepage using GrapesJS (for free). I’m hosting it on Cloudflare Pages (for free). The whole setup was dead simple and almost completely free, I’m only paying for the domain.

EDIT: oops, that isn’t technically self-hosted…but GrapesJS is a very cool tool for building a simple HTML website. Just make it looks like you want and it’ll spit out all the files you need for hosting wherever your heart desires. Caddy, GitHub, whatever.

I’ve been experiencing some right wrist pain from too much mousing (at work and while gaming). So I find myself playing on the Deck more than my desktop PC nowadays.

“many people”

Can’t show me one fucking person lmao

Neither of us have evidence and we’re both speculating. Let me know when you have some actual useful information. Until then, fuck off.

That’s annoying. If you can’t turn the fan off, then I think you need to look for convection oven recipes specifically. But I think they’re not too hard to find.

Wow, you came back after all this time, only to show me a discord screenshot that doesn’t actually support your argument. Bahaha you fucking idiot

…but Apple started making performance ARM chips 4 years ago

I’m not expert, but I can tell you that Apple Silicon gave the new Macbooks insane battery life, and they run a lot cooler with less overheating. Intel really fucked up the processors in the 2015-2019 Macbooks, especially the higher-spec i7 and i9 variants. Those things overheat constantly. All Intel did was take existing architectures and raise the clock speeds. Apple really exposed Intel’s laziness by releasing processors that were just as performant in quick tasks, they REALLY kicked Intel’s ass in sustained workloads, not because they were faster on paper, but simply because they didn’t have to thermal throttle after 2 minutes of work. Hell, the Macbook Air doesn’t even have any active cooling!

I’m not saying these Snapdragon chips will do exactly the same thing for Windows PC’s, obviously we can’t say that for sure yet. But if they do, it will be fucking awesome for end users.

IT here: you’re all insane. Outlook is a dumpster fire, Outlook for Mac is a slightly prettier dumpster fire. The idea of locally syncing emails in 2024 is laughable, a web browser is exactly where you should view your emails.

Damn that’s hot

Nintendo’s execs calling Boeing’s execs: “Hey, can you refer us to your…fixers? You know…rhymes with shmassassin…yeah you know, those guys.”

Reddit is still pretty useful, but it will become less and less relevant as contributors leave, just like StackOverflow did. Side note: are contributors actually leaving Reddit? People keep saying that’s happening, but I don’t really see it…maybe it’s very slow? Might depend heavily on the subreddit too.

A subscription-based game is completely different than a one-time purchase that you’ve refunded.

Why in the hell would they save progress for a player that has refunded the game? You’d have to be delusional to assume that.
