  There’s a massive difference between the average Windows user and the average PHP developer. It’s a false equivalence.

  The regular computer user who just needs their apps to run won’t likely make the effort to enter an entirely new ecosystem as long as those apps run. And when they break? They’ll reinstall Windows or pay someone else to fix it.

  I love shitting on Microsoft as much as the next penguin, but they’re not idiots. Even if some of their decisions are questionable, Windows is still a major part of their business, and they won’t just let it degrade to a point where Linux converts are a significant threat to their profit.

  Yes it does. 1945 was 80 years ago, which is easily grandparent age.

  Assume that great-grandfather is born in 1920 in Germany. He would be old enough to commit crimes against humanity and flee to Argentina at the war’s conclusion, at the age of 25. If he immediately had children in 1946, and they migrated back to Germany in the 60s or 70s, they could easily have adult grandchildren by today.

  It’s easy to condemn soldiers of the axis today, but being a conscientious objector wasn’t easy or good for the health during that time.

  Here’s a cursed idea for capitalists: renting your online identity. You pay a subscription fee to keep your original username, or you get an ugly suffix. If a suffixless username becomes available, it is put on auction for the suffixed plebeians.

  It’s a reference to a line in a Stargate episode, uttered by a historian in reference to outdated medieval practices (specifically trepanning). My point is that historical fiction about a specific time and culture should reflect the values and prejudices of the people and not be condemned for it.

  That article reads like that other shitpiece that called Ghost of Tsushima racist for portraying Mongols as evil. Like, bruh. It wasn’t called “the dark ages” for a lack of sunlight.

  Team building events back when I was working in a factory. One day a year we had the option* to go to a crowded bar and have overpriced drinks with the same people we met every day. I would’ve preferred a regular shift on an assembly line.

  Veilguard doesn’t let you be an absolute dick the way Origins did. The story (what little I’ve seen) is filtered and sanitized like it’s meant for six-year-olds. It also approaches sensitive topics, like the gender of one character, with the graceful and delicate touch of a fucking brick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dragon Age Origins for the first time. I think I’m at the climax of the Redcliffe arc, and finally I understand why people call Veilguard “disneyfied”.
