Alright, I'll bite: what exactly is a "stonefruit" in this context? Google just says "fruits with large seeds that are basically rocks in the middle", which I suspect is not the pseudo-intellectual flex your boss is going for?

It might be boring and obvious, but the speeds.

I used to have to plan ahead, set overnight downloads, very consciously and actively manage data rates and in general never plan around getting something. Today, I can get basically ANYTHING in less than an hour on FiOp. Most things, 5-10 minutes. Transfer rate has outscaled data size, and it's fantastic.

Every single time I have played an Annapurna published game, I had a fantastic time. I won't say that everything they did was equal, but everything they did was entertaining, and thought-provoking.

I can't quite follow the legalese required to parse EXACTLY what this means going forward, but I am sure it is not good, and that is disappointing.

No, but telling someone they shouldn't be allowed to vote is saying you believe they should be disenfranchised.

This is not a "both sides are the same" argument. Only that if you start to discuss who should and should not be allowed to vote, you are no longer creating a democracy. That is a dictatorship with extra steps.

He should vote, because everyone should vote.

Fuck Ben Shapiro, he's some combination of idiot and willing stooge, but voting only works when everyone gets to vote. Unlike these right-wing fuckwits, I'm not willing to disenfranchise voters just because I perceive them as being less intelligent than me.

EDIT: I am shocked that supporting a fair and equal democracy seems to be at least sort of controversial around here. If you genuinely believe a given category of people should be disallowed from voting, please reconsider your values.

Fantastic article.

I've got nothing against cosplay, but these right-wing nut jobs pretending to be Roman conqueror's just take it too far.

Fucking real, though. The cultural group responsible for checks notes "shaming people who have the wrong bubble color in texts"?, suddenly think they're the one's being unjustly preached to? The joke in this image is not the one OP thought they were making.

If the press is giving me the "sanewashed" version, they're genuinely wasting their time, because motherfuckwr still seems batshit crazy.

I'd never pay money for a porn game, but I feel if it was gifted to me, I'd play it to completion. At least for the experience to say I did. And hey, if it turns me on and I learn something about myself, win/win.

If you're looking for "maybe slightly higher specs than the Steam Deck", a good APU solution will get you there on the cheap. In particular, the 5000 series APUs are pushing 50% off in most places, because they're the last entry in a socket type which has already been replaced.

The challenge will be finding a pre-built that takes advantage of these facts, so you may do best either using a website that lets you define the parts you want and then builds the PC for you, or walking into a local PC shop and asking them the same question followed with "I've heard that Ryzen APUs are surprisingly good for gaming and affordable right now".

Fantastic watch that highlights the issue I am talking about. Thanks for sharing that.
