Yeah, I think we’re all in agreement about that here. But everyone isn’t disarmed. I won’t give up my gun until I know with 99% certainty that your average burglar won’t get a hold of an illegal firearm.
- Comment on Anon breaks up 4 weeks ago:
I didn’t ask to be born in a country where burglars are likely to have firearms. But now that I am, I have to react to that fact myself.
- Comment on Anon breaks up 4 weeks ago:
It perpetuates itself. If someone thinks there is a significant probability a burglar might have a gun, getting a gun themselves can increase their chance of survival. This is even ignoring the actual culture around it, where people want guns “just to have them”.

I will always miss it. I love the glass aesthetic. It never went out of style in my head.
- Comment on Why did AT&T think "Eye of Sauron" was the way to go? 4 weeks ago:
I have one of these in my town. It’s a cell tower dead center in the middle of town, and they boxed it up in a building-like facade and put that logo at the top. Massive eye of sauron vibes. It’s the tallest thing in the city.

you can assign independent applications > I know you can do this in windows without needing an extra sound controller it’s in ‘Settings>system>Sound>Volume Mixer’
Yeah, but separate physical controls are beneficial when you have full-screen apps, are busy, don’t want to lose your place, or if you need to do it more frequently and quickly than the sound mixer allows.
Linux largely has this too, but in both OS’s it’s less convenient than reaching over and quickly pressing a button or sliding a slider in many scenarios.

I think the Spotify application may be able to, I assume this is what OP was talking about.

Yeah that one is pricey, but you can certainly get cheap ones for a fraction of the price. Most people don’t need the one I have, and smaller ones can serve the same purpose.

If you have a desktop and not a laptop, it’s always a great idea to get a separate sound controller. Either a dac/amp for nice headphones, volume controls on a wireless headset, or even buy a sound mixer like the rodecaster duo so you can assign independent applications to each physical slider on the mixer. I do that last one and it’s such a quality of life improvement if you use your PC a lot.
All of these options can’t be seen from Spotify.

Like the other commenter said the amd might be better for gaming, but either way this pc is incredibly powerful and you should have no problem running all games at very high settings.

It just feels too easy. There’s so much good grind in this game, and it feels like there is very little reason to grind agility anymore other than clout, and even then now there is far less clout in having 99.

You MUST specify what that stands for so there isn’t a terrible misunderstanding with what you are suggesting.

- Comment on PirateSoftware's Take On $80 Games 4 months ago:
He got mad at me and much of his community over concerns about decisions he was making for “block game”. We stated our concerns kindly and politely, and he got mad and deleted an entire discord channel because we didn’t agree with him and made good points that he couldn’t refute. I lost all respect for him after that.
