  Sounds very plausible.

  What’s most shocking to me is the extent. I drink about a single, sugar free energy drink a day, but they act like drinking a couple in a single gaming session is normal. It’s crazy man

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elden King⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Shangri-la Frontier perfectly captures where the fun in video games lies.

  It also has a weird obsession with energy drinks. To a point where you could think it’s a placement, but apparently it isn’t

  The GDPR is definitely neither wits end, nor applied reasonably under all circumstances. I have my doubts that these “cutbacks” will be the adequate reforms however.

  The thing is, it’s not like we haven’t seen that a thousand times before. I actually liked S1. It was unusually gritty, with an unusually sympathetic and relatable MC who struggled a lot in a cruel world.

  S2 on the other hand is the boring fantasy of some lonely dude. A totally overpowered MC faces a non-obstacle, waits till someone dies to create a false sense of danger, easily overcomes the obstacle while impressing some girl we hardly know and hardly will ever know, get a new summon to make him look even arguably cooler, repeat x3.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG seems to be considering paid membership option⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  1/3 of the Steam + Linux market, that accounted for an incredible 1.45% of Steam installs in February. This means there were roughly 67 Windows gamers for every Linux gamer (using Steam) that month.

  So even if Linux gamers are 10 times more likely to care (and pay for) for game preservation, you are not even approaching the number of Windows users that might. Suppose 90% of Linux gamers care, while only 9% on Windows do, you still have roughly 6 Windows users for every Linux one. And this is a very generous assumption to make.

  Maybe, eventually, at some point, this makes sense financially. But if your goal is to be profitable, you grab the low hanging fruits first, not invest in maybe 10% more potential users.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG seems to be considering paid membership option⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What if I told you that the intersection between people who care and the 5% of their potential audience that are Linux users is very small either way?

  I’m not saying Linux isn’t a chance for them, but it’s also an investment and very like not a profitable one for quite a while.

  Since you can set temporary, server-only nicknames, you don’t even need to edit the page source or Photoshop to stage that

  I said you can use a bidet. Or have a poopy butt and live in denial if you prefer

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am a meat crayon⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You should consider wet wipes. They are a total game changer, if a bidet is not an option. When you think the worst is gone, use one (1). Then dry with normal paper afterwards. It’s great.

  Don’t flush them before making absolutely, 100% shure they decompose tho! If you can’t easily tear them with your hands, no matter what the packaging says, they will fuck up your plumbing. This can get really expensive, so when in doubt, use a trash can.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're in the endgame now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I meam, this is true, but labeling all modern conservatives fans of monarchy is disingenuous. There are also fans of unregulated capitalism, racism, facism und probably many other -isms going around!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Top climate scientist declares 2C climate goal 'dead'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  To provide a more positive view on the matter: Even if we reach 3C, as long as it is ultimately reversed, all efforts are still worth it. And there is still a chance everything turns out to be less grim than anticipated, if we accelerate our efforts.

  I’m surprised that women told them it was for the military and even more surprised they still accepted. They had to be either desperate or Russian propaganda is also verfy effective outside of Russia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Protests delay start of German far-right party's key meet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ingl, 20% thinking it is anywhere near sane to leave the EU, or even just riscing it with your vote, is insane. On the other hand, politicians from the “center” parties have contributed to this by betraying people over and over and over again. I can understand how people get a “fuck you and everyone else” attitude under these circumstances.

  It gives me some peace of mind however, that ~80% do not support this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despair in Sweden as gangs recruit kids as contract killers⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like significantly stronger deterrence is needed. Being “just” 15 is hardly an excuse to let someone get away with even plotting murder. You cannot let people grow up with a mindset where that’s ok. The age of legal responsibility should be lower imho, but even if you’re under, you should still be put in state custody for that shit. At least for some time, to ge things sorted and as a warning shot. And again, I’m talking plotting murder, not even having a gun or shooting it.

  Also, hiring kids for murder should be charged as if you yourself carried out or attempted to carry out the murder. You use a stupid kid as a smart tool. Putting a gun in a kids hand and telling them to shoot someone is in no way better, arguably even worse than doing it yourself imo.

  Also maybe finally start to properly regulate social media ffs. It’s literally turning people into violent idiots and threats to society.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ukraine sees influx of Western war tourists⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Although I doubt it, given that we are talking people stupid enough to travel to a warzone for vacation, I hope at least some will help the people there. Don’t just go and watch them suffer, Ukraine is not a zoo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best HDD/SSD for local media hosting⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Second this. What you need for high quality media is space, not speed. For any single stream, network and drive will be fast enough anyway. Your typical HDD offers like 4-6 times the bandwidth that a regular Blu-ray can provide. You can get 8TB HDDs for the price of 2TB SSDs. Random access doesn’t matter for that application.

  You might want to invest in redundancy and use a RAID 1 or RAID 10 array, depends on how valuable that media is to you or how long it would take to recover in case it’s lost. A simple solution would be a btrfs software RAID, in case your are after something like a Linux home media server with Jellyfin.
