• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Direct3D to Vulkan translation layer DXVK v2.5.2 brings fixes for Alpha Protocol, The Sims 2, Borderlands 2 and more⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Kinda crazy that Linux can support some older Direct X games better than Windows these days

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there another term for crafted, interactive activities besides games/video games?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I was gonna just respond with “entertainment”, but yours is probably better

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bon appetit.⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  No

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My only problem now that my packages have arrived...⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Tin foil is basically self wrapping paper

  Genuinely knew someone that did this years ago

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No shitpost, just posting the best soda in America⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Also not a yank but I can definitely tell the difference IMO

  Root beer tastes like medicine, Jaeger tastes like if Coca-Cola made an aniseed & mint version and you drank the syrup straight

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you live in an area that gets snow THIS is the way to decorate your mailbox⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  SkiFree flashbacks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve is fixin' to start some arguments over the holidays because 'All adult members in a Steam Family' can see your Steam Replay page⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you not need to put your CCV in on most purchases? I’d say it’s more often than not that it asks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Broccoli, cheese, and MILFs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  If you ever feel like giving it another go, try roasting it up with the florets coated in some olive oil, crushed garlic, salt, pepper and a bit of smoky paprika if you’ve got it around

  I guarantee it’ll at least be the best version you’ve had

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At least 1440p is good for heating my house⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Extra context to the other reply: the switch uses a version of the same APU used in the Nvidia Shield.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Excellent anti smoking ad⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Healthcare shouldn’t be conditional, it should be free at the point of use, no exceptions. You start drawing lines, you’re only gonna cause harm

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨About to turn the car to a flying car⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I find bar more intuitive even if it’s just hPa/1000

  Nearly 7 bar is impressive for any tyres

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pretty interesting when you really think about it.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes borders are bullshit, but he really doesn’t have to come across all high and mighty about it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every time I search a windows error⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And if that doesn’t work, run dism and then do it all again

  That didn’t work?

  Oh

  Reinstall or buy a new computer. K NEXT.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just do them⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is completely ignoring all of the time you need to expend on building up the motivation to do said task

  I stress about tasks I’m not motivated to complete, the ones I’m motivated to do don’t bother me at all

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH comes to PC on January 23, 2025 - it's getting optimised for Steam Deck⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Finally! I think I need to put some annual leave in

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this the end?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah I’ve always gone for the Sony ones, is there a significant gap?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've noticed a lot of UK job applications use the American MM/DD/YYYY date format and some also say "resume" instead of CV. Does that annoy you if you're British?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The date thing is infuriating because the American date format just shouldn’t exist

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic Games update the Unreal Tournament website linking to the free downloads from OldUnreal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I can hear the facing worlds music in my head

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If billionaires and CEOs feel like they need to start paying for large security details, would that be an example of trickle down economics?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Rich people spending some money is not trickle-down economics.

  Trickle down economics is the lie that centralising capital in the hands of the few benefits everyone due to their increased ability to invest their capital.

  What happens is they spend a small amount of their fortune in self-serving pursuits (e.g. their security in this scenario) and then they hoard the vast majority of what’s left. The incentive structure of capitalism means a capitalist benefits more from holding capital than distributing it.

  The system is broken and cannot be fixed without replacing it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Causes of Death in London (1623)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Died of teeth

  Not really sure what I can add to that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sleep well tonight⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  C’mon man, you know how big retro stuff is

  There are people unironically out there listening to tapes on warbly old walkmans just for the aesthetic of a nostalgia they’ll never have

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shape of the Heart⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Naaaaah let’s not

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judas⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Weird, why am I getting Bezos vibes when everyone else sees Elon

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DnD⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can also completely believe that scenario.

  Imagine if you got to the point where someone was making jokes like this about you and everyone was laughing with them

  Elon is genuinely such a cringey loser it’s kind of remarkable

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the UK shut down during easter?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh

  I had no idea there were actual rules

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All it needs is some Ketchup⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meaty lifehack⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think technically if you can get it from a butcher minced that day, you should be good to freeze it

  Not so much supermarket mince

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BACK IT UP⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  High latency though and particularly catastrophic if you get packet loss

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon creates a business plan⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you guys still do the hilarious chip & sign thing or have you finally switched to using a PIN?
