Snort this line of cocaine, an excellent source of Calcium (because we used crushed up tums to cut it)
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NEVER OBSOLETE⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Yep.

Several family members had these exact 433mhz emachines with the stickers. They were not power users, they were not gamers… They were people who typed with one finger chicken pecking to check email
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NEVER OBSOLETE⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
They were never obsolete because, as it says on the sticker (that no one on the internet can ever seem to be bothered to read), that you can replace it every 2 years for new, more modern system for only 99 bucks.

and quite frankly, thats a fucking steal, considering what PC prices were like back in the late 90s, and with how fast technology was advancing.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Except that just means they’d optimize for that specific hardware in the steam machine and still run like shit on anything else.

Power wise, they said the steam machine is equivalent to what 70% of the steam users already have and use. If developers arent already optimizing for that, then one more machine out of thousands wont encourage it.

Yeah, that seems par for the course with current Paradox games the past few years…

Cities Skylines is 2 years old and still shit, too… Hell paradox is even going so far as to change the dev company working on it at the start of next year. Which is doing wonders for peoples hope for the future of the game /s
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paradox Takes the Blame for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Sales Flop, Announces $37 Million Write-Down⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
What? VTM2 came out?

When?

I legitimately did not know it was released.

Is that part of why its flopping?

Or is the gameplay bugged to fuck/story shit/etc?

yeah, if you’re interests are super narrow then yeah it wouldnt be good for you.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
i almost never buy games on steam anymore…Even on the steam sales. The sales are a poor immitation of the great values that they were 10+ years ago.

I subscribe to Humble Monthly and, eventually, get almost every game I’ve ever wanted.

you do realize a washing machine can wash more than one towel at a time… right?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is the type of Q&A that makes the internet so important⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
and you leave it hanging in the bathroom until next time you use it, ever done research on how much shit… both literal and metaphorical, gets launched into the air every time you flush?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is the type of Q&A that makes the internet so important⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

That’s kinda of wasteful isn’t it? Washing a perfectly good towel after a single usage.

i’m doing a load of whites once a week regardless, so no, its not wasteful.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is the type of Q&A that makes the internet so important⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Yes, because I’m not a fucking animal.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is the type of Q&A that makes the internet so important⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
No, cause I wash the fucking towel like a civilized human being.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Yep, and since it has both system ram AND dedicated gddr graphics ram… its gonna be double dipped in the price gouging by the memory manufacturers
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Yeah, I agree.

I detest Linus, but at least attack him for legitimate shit.

He was approaching linux as a basic idiot, like someone like me, and that is absolutely something a new average linux user would absolutely do.

iirc, that bug was known before hand, and no one bothered to fix it until famous man made video that got famous.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Eh, I dont want steam machine becoming a standardized PC.

having CPU and GPU baked into the board and unchangable will just increase e-waste cause it will age out much faster than a PC which you could, 3-4 years down the line, max out the CPU in, throw more ram into, or upgrade teh GPU, to keep it relevant for another 4+ years

It serves its niche purpose, but it should not become standard.

Genuinely shocked that no one drew a picture of a turkey with legs spread saying “I want to be eaten, Daddy” in reply to this.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT'S TIME! ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

As a vegetarian who mostly eats vegan, why is it that I find PETA so annoying?

Because they are terrorists.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

With all of that being said, it seems to me it’s very likely it will be around 800 but less than 1000

maybe more with the way ram prices are skyrocketing… because even though it comes out next year, they are probably being manufactured and stockpiled right now.

Which infuriates me as a LotR fan.

and also makes me side eye Chris Tolkien hard, cause he is normally very aggressive in protecting the intellectual property…

If you have to create a wikipedia alternative to stop being fact checked, then maybe you are just fuckin wrong.

I remember the bean burrito was like 99 cents. and stuffed so full of beans and rice that you’d make two meals out of it.

i also miss their 5 dollar lunch boxes… cause it had that bean burrito in it and you’d save that for dinner and have two awesome meals.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FOX BREAKING NEWS ALERT!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
only thing news worthy about taco bell is how fucking pants on head their prices have become.

used to get a whole quesadilla combo for what they now want for a basic quesadilla stand alone.
