Gotta have at least two masks to wear in this life. An indifferent universe is incapable of being fully hostile

Oh, what a relief. I thought it was just me!

None of this is a genuine loss in value. The hype is just taking a breather before we see any real adjustments

Last year I gave my stepdad a refurbished Lenovo laptop with Cinnamon edition Mint. He has yet to ask for any help with it, so I’m hoping that means it is working flawlessly

It’s my daily driver and honestly the main reason why I have a separate gaming computer seems to be owed to the Intel GPU just… Not yet having the drivers it would need

Honestly I’m not a programmer but I’m wondering if we could actually see the “vibe coding” become a legitimate process for organizations that can review it effectively

True, the advances we’re seeing with recomps is at least something of a silver lining over all this bullshit we’ve had to put up with recently

Ahahaha…! 😭

This is not being sold to the wise, or the conscientious!

I burned out on it so hard because I never got the hang of the dodge and parry mechanics. It’s a shame too, it has so much else going for it

Hahaha, Alaska is a poot!

So close, that is a constellation!

Indeed. I had to remind people that this was the actual third/fourth act of a flagship title and I was among the many people who took it very seriously because it “changed gaming forever, it was art!”

I mean, I still love Metal Gear Solid, but we have to be able to see it with some objectivity

Privateers! They’re only pirates when they do it all for themselves

They’re critical of Marx precisely because it’s that scary to face the truth of alienation. I grew up in a household run by idiot centrist boomers who still can’t grasp this concept. They see the fact that I still struggle into my 40’s as a moral failing while I have been floundering through over two decades of being used up and underpaid. I’m literally in tech right now, making effectively the same amount of money that I brought home sweating in crowded kitchens but it is somehow my fault for… Not asking strongly enough to get paid more?

I don’t know, I guess what I’m trying to say is I feel for these kids because I definitely would have been primed to rely on chatbots for emotional support if I was born into their generation. This is a systemic problem that I fear no one will ever face in a meaningful way

Out in the streets, they call it MURDER! … But I saw nothing, because today is a terrible day to have eyes

That “medical research” as far as I can tell is hallucinating serious illnesses into diagnostic data so the insurance companies have even more reasons to deny care

There may be legitimate uses beyond that, but yet again this system built on greed that rewards genuinely psychopathic behavior is exactly the wrong sort of environment to foster this level of adoption

Looks like it

I like yours better than my suggestion because it has a sort of “Home Alone in Space” vibe to it!

The following is a reference and spoiler for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

Easy!
