Damn, sorry you got stalked. I actually knew some dudes that did that to another guy. I did tell them it was fucked up and they were fucking dweebs for doing it, I don’t think it ever escalated to a beating. We were all “rink rats” that hung around at the local ice rink. I was in a junior league with a couple of the guys doing the taunting (not the head goon, he was just useless). I never hung around with those assholes once they started riding around in that guy’s car.

So if you’re not using the normie OS you’re a criminal? That’s so very fucked up.

What the fuck? I saw that Colorado wanted to implement something like this but really, how do you enforce it? Is it illegal to install Linux now? Even if you enforce it at the login for Windows, what’s to keep someone from installing a browser that doesn’t recognize the curfew?

It’s like these motherfuckers think everyone just “goes online” with their phones and the vertical software stack those entail. And then, what about GrapheneOS?

No flying though. I’m looking for airplanes in space and sometimes SC can scratch that itch but E:D is the better product.

Like you literally cannot “fly” your damn spaceship, you have to use a point and click interface (at least the last time I checked). I wish SC was a good product and I’ll be sad the day E:D goes offline but EVE is definitely not it for me.

edit: E:D is elite dangerous for people that don’t know what the fuck all these space dorks are talking about

Bro, does it still work? I can’t imagine it will but if so, give the magnet link.

Can we still play it? I’ll 1v1 you later today if we can.

With that weird kick on the jump animation and the totally stupid crouch animation.

Multiplayer gaming peaked at GameSpy.

And that’s why Gabe has a new yacht with a fuckin’ submarine.

Goddamn money printer he’s got there. No hate, I just can’t believe the platform that we had to install to play Counter Strike (1.6?) has become the juggernaut it has.

I just said fuckit and ran an exe called CrapFIxer. Not going to link it because I have no idea if it’s actually safe but I ran it on August 19th and my gaming PC doesn’t seem to be part of a bot network… yet.

Settings -> Gaming -> Game Bar

Set to “off”

It’s tough to remove the game bar cleanly (maybe impossible) because it’s hooked into a lot of the xbox crap now. Yes I still game on Windows and took the Win11 pill because I like MSFS better than X-Plane and the last time I tried to configure multiple controller setups in Linux I gnashed my teeth and rended my garments.

You can’t run a meme build of Type-10 covered in Packhounds in WoW.

Hard pass.

Yeah, her. My ex wife and her really hit it off and we all had a great time at the party. The elite of id were standoffish, but it was quakecon and a meet and greet, so they were probably tired and over it. Carmack was cool though, and there were two guys I was vibing with, I don’t remember their names

I think Romero had already left id at that point but since they all came up together he was still welcome at social events.

Well, go meet him I guess.

I’m not sure if he’s married to the same woman from 2001 but SHE was a lot of fun. Life of the party, always knows what to say. Just an all around great person to talk to.

John Romero hasn’t been relevant since Quake and arguably hasn’t been any good since Hexen/Heretic. I’m not sure why we are subjected to his “hot takes” on an annual basis.

edit: oh, I think he’s an asshole. I’ve met him, he was not fun.

Or just pirate it. Fuck Gearbox at this point.

Randy Pitchford shoots water bottles at his landscapers with a t-shirt gun.

I think it’s because of this TC mod that these volunteers have been working on for 10(?) years. It’s due for a 2025 release

lol, assholes. Tariffs are paid on wholesale price, but Acer is going to raise the retail price the same percentage?

It’s unnecessary data harvesting.

Sweet Story Wet-Bottom Pie 18+ Adult Only Content

OK, that has almost enough syllables for me to be interested

ope! No, I hadn’t. I’ll give that a shot later

Can’t manage to start an actual game on SteamDeck yet, they did mention that controller/SteamDeck support wasn’t quite there.

I get into the menus but can’t quite get past the traits screen. They will fix it, maybe sooner?

When Win7 reached EOL we were using Linux 5.4

That’s pretty ancient.

You can buy a (claimed, might just be ARM) RISC-V laptop on aliexpress today, not sure how well they work but they are there.

Consumer RISC-V machines can’t come fast enough, IMO. x86 had a stellar run but I’m personally sick of Intel’s shenanigans. I’m really looking forward to open source hardware on my desktop.

I hop in every so often, fly my Cutlass around, blow some shit up, check out the ground game and then go back to Elite. I got my money’s worth. Still need to check out 3.24

[in British] Oh no!

Best version of The Sims

Interesting it’s a patent lawsuit and not copyright. I haven’t played Palworld and barely know how Pokemon works; is the gameplay in any way similar?

Now available as a .stl file!

No trackpad, no interest

aaa aaaaa aaaaaaaAAAA

Whatever. Fix VR.
