• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does a SO feel different from a very good friend?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My wife is different than my friends because we literally live together. All decisions are made with the both of us in mind. As a result, we know each other better than just about anyone else, and that level of emotional intimacy is tough to find anywhere else. Don’t get me wrong, I have a few very good friends as well, but I don’t talk about the same things with them as I do my wife.

  Having an honest to God companion to share the ups and downs in life is amazing. The ups are sublime, the downs help us both be more introspective and end up bettering ourselves.

  Probably because they were all cheap crap and not made up to the standards of the device they connected to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a word that means a common saying which is arguably untrue?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Language is fun like that. Kinda like how ‘literally’ can, and often does, mean ‘figuratively’, which has the opposite meaning.

  Right, but how quickly? And does that rate change in different places? If so, what causes it to change?

  Or Disney will buy EA. And then Amazon will buy some other company. And then Tencent will buy everyone else. All hail our Chinese corpo overlords. @_

  …the link literally goes to CDPR’s website. Or would you rather they not post patch notes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cyberpunk patch 2.01 now available⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The game has a graphics preset for Steam Deck now, but I wouldn’t take that to mean much.

  If time is relative that means there’s no such thing as too soon.

  …role playing games - y’know, the ones where you play a character and a story happens around them - are older than video games and, in fact, are some of the oldest video games. Saying story doesn’t belong in games is a disservice to the medium of games, both video and tabletop.

  And indeed, was funnier when he left.

  I hope so. If only because I want things to change here in Texas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proposed initiative would remove 'Right to Work' statute from Arizona Constitution⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  But it’s Arizona, so the repuglicunts will do whatever they can to ensure the continued exploitation of the working class.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm so glad I waited nearly 3 years to play Cyberpunk 2077, but I dread the fact that this is our new normal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s weird - when I played at launch, I had precisely one bug that impacted my gameplay. Other than that, the game ran pretty smooth and was a joy to play.

  Now mind you, I was playing on a PC with a Xeon, 64GB of RAM, and an RTX 2080ti. Nothing ram badly on that system three years ago. Nowadays the older CPU, slower RAM and admittedly older GPU without all the newest bells and whistles (DLSS Framegen I’m looking at you) can’t quite measure up to the latest titles.

  Cyberpunk, at launch, was great. For me. Specifically for me. I loved it and still do. But this article hits a point for me that I’ve been struggling to find reason to write about without feeling like I’m ignoring people who primarily play on consoles or can’t afford a nice PC. Regardless…

  Man it fuckin’ sucks how you can spend a huge amount of money on a new GPU and then four months later a new one comes out that blows it out of the water. New hardware is so much better and - because all the game devs are using that hardware to design their games both on and for - systems like mine that are still fairly new can’t run the latest games at high settings anymore.

  It used to be that if you ponied up the money for a high-end rig, you could expect decent performance for years to come. But I guess blowing a grand on a GPU these days just means you’ll be doing it again in a year or something, instead of the decade or so before.

  I’m not saying my PC is bad. Most of what I play runs excellently. But when I spend a grand on just a GPU I expect that GPU to run the newest games at high settings for a long time. Jedi Survivor, Starfield, both run like crap on my system. Never mind the 2TB NVMe drive everything’s installed on.

  But I’m just bitching to bitch. Ignore me.

  One can hope.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bosses and workers still can’t agree on whether the commute is part of the work day, and it’s creating a $578 billion productivity problem⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The only reason I own a car is to get to work. Otherwise I’d use public transport and delivery services all the time.

  Therefore, 90% of the time I use my car is in service of my job. Getting to the office and coming home from the office. Therefore my commute is entirely based on the fact that I’m going to or from work. Otherwise I wouldn’t be using the car, sitting in traffic.

  So yeah, it’s 100% ‘on the clock’ time, even if they want to somehow argue it isn’t. Even if I wanted a car for things like grocery shopping or getting elsewhere in the city, the time spent in traffic going to or from work and the west and tear on the vehicle during that time is because of my job, therefore my job should pay for my time and the vehicle maintenance. Period.
