I haven’t played more than about 30 minutes of a Borderlands game. But from clips I have seen of all of them over the years, they all look exactly the same. Sounds to me like it’s just a poorly optimized game, as is standard for new AAA slop releases.

I look forward to seeing how much money they lose on this shit that absolutely nobody wants. I can’t even imagine that AI evangelists want to listen to it in any serious way.

This. My brother is an unhinged psycho when watching his sports teams do poorly. They only person who can stand to be in the same room with him while he watches football is his son who is just used to it.

I mean… Yeah, you technically can. But it won’t be a particularly modern or useful OS.

I know the flash drive ban is about being able to hide files or have a bootable alternative OS.

But floppy disks have a that metal slide cover that could easily be made into a shiv. Unless they can only have the kind with plastic slides.

Imagine those cat’s reaction after spending years hanging out in there and then suddenly being brought to a normal scale subway.

I suppose this is one way to keep the CIA spy drones from becoming E-waste when they introduce the new models.

I should have dragged the trashcan outside and asked them to help me take it to the dumpster.

I went to college in a small town, there was a festival every fall in the old downtown area, and a religious group would get a booth right in front of the bar we liked to go to. They would forcibly hand out those tiny little new testaments to everyone trying to walk into the bar. The bar owner put a 50 gallon trash can right inside the door. It was full of those bibles. Such a waste of paper.

I feel so bad for this guy. This was literally a black mirror episode: “Be Right Back”

Oh I had that same experience too. Especially with Mist. I never got far in it. I’m convinced the game was broken.

This is exactly it. I definitely used a lot of walkthroughs as a kid. I also feel like games in the 90s and early 00s were just plain harder, or sometimes poorly designed.

These days I only look something up when I have got to a point of near rage over how much of my limited gaming time has been wasted, and I need to know if I am just a moron, or if it’s a bug, or bad game design. Of course, then I get mad that I can’t find it written out, and have to skim around in some fucking YouTube video to figure it out.

I don’t work in IT, but I work in a specialty retail setting where I do technical support for materials. Last week I was helping an annoying repeat customer and as I was helping him load his material into his brand new Tesla, he decided he needed to tell me all about its full self driving, and how on his 3hr drive the other day he used chat GPT to write a white paper about some bullshit while the car drove itself, then he had to get chat GPT to give me a summary of the white paper. (some scammy sounding marketing BS.)

It took every ounce of professionalism I had left to just give him the “uh huh, thats cool. yep. good for you.” instead of going on an angry anti musk/tesla/AI rant.

“Ribbed, for their pleasure.”

I’ve been having a blast playing Descenders. I also picked up Hot Wheels Unleashed to play with my Hot Wheels obsessed 4 yr old.

Summer of 2005. Played one round of CS Source on stage at CPL. We lost.

On a similar vein, I don’t understand doctors who are young earth creationists. Your whole job is understanding biology.
