  Isn’t almost any keyboard able to last that long?

  I make sure any motherboard I buy has at least 8 USB ports, so I know I’ll have enough. It does make sense to use the PS/2 port if you have the peripherals. What advantage does USB have over it anyway?

  This is one of those things where formally, sure, there’s a difference, but I’ve never heard anyone use that first term. Everything’s a loanword. And these kinds of things are in many, if not all, languages, from my attempts at learning other languages.

  I’d be thinking more about how they’d plan to do it. Trump does have the Secret Service.

  But good luck impeaching a man who can make his enemies disappear with a waive of his hand.

  Friend, that’s why you just sign something in your office with the doors closed and not make it public.

  Honestly, I didn’t even think enough about the whole thing enough to realize that the President could possibly get away with murder. Wouldn’t that make it an obvious ruling then? Could then appoint new judges to the Supreme Court. There would magically be a few openings all of a sudden after all. How is this ruling really something they’re actually considering?

  They definitely did. This will easily be the top Apex news for at least a week.

  I read here recently that the rich people who pay attention to Forbes for investment information avoid all Forbes contributor content and focus only official article from Forbes staff.

  I understand you, but they’re not the ones who matter here tbh; it’s other laymen. I don’t use Forbes, I just know what Forbes is. Looking at that page, I’d have no idea what you’re talking about. The url is Forbes, the author’s name is there, and is labelled as a senior contributor. For most of us: “we hit Forbes boys!”

  Goddamn, it really did hit Forbes. Now I’m really interested in how Respawn will handle this one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite game you played this year? (Doesn't have to be released this year )⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah, I did get to those. I got the edition with all the DLC from the EGS giveaway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite game you played this year? (Doesn't have to be released this year )⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dishonored. I’ve had it for ages and only ever played the very escape mission. It actually got me to buy Dishonored 2 and start that.

  Let’s hope for BioShock in 2024.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up with Epic Games?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This has nothing to do with Linux. Gamers in general, the cast majority being in Windows, hate EGS. It makes contracts for exclusivity, the launcher is apparently atrocious and there’s an almost inherent bias against any launcher/storefront that isn’t Steam. You’ll find those three reasons in just about any conversation about EGS.

  And, to actually address your Linux theory, all I have to do is to open Heroic, sign in if I haven’t already, download the game and run it through Proton, in exactly the same way I do on Steam. Epic’s hate for Linux isn’t really that much of a problem.
