We're watching the equivalent of 40% of a generation taking up smoking a pack a day.
Fuck man.

Christ that sounds right out of weird fiction novel.
It's wholly Christian to be unkind to billionaires as they are by definition not your neighbor . They aren't "your people" nor "your kin", shit they aren't even human by their own admission.
Exactly dude! It's horrible and really just reduces a person to math and that's the most dehumanizing thing ever. I hate the word "just". "'Just' go on a diet", "'Just' get a better", "'Just' do X", "'Just' stop doing Y". I hate it so much. It's so reductive and erases all the friction that comes along with being an existing person. I hate that shit bro.
Not everyone has SSDs, not everyone has 2+ TB of storage, and even if that were true you shouldn't have to ship your entire studios development server to your customer. A game shouldn't be bigger than 50 GBs (Yes that even includes Elden Ring). That's the limit. I can always go online and download more RAM, but I cannot download more storage space. We live in an age where code can be hyper optimized both by humans engineers as well as their thinking machines. Fuckin' make your games smaller and run better.
What peripherals should I buy?
Mouse, Keyboard, and maybe a microphone headset for voice if you want talk to people on calls or whatever. Anything else is gamer decadence
Should I buy a headset right off the bat?
Sure if you like headsets. Headsets with a microphone are nice, most of them are pretty good and lets you listen and speak comfortably.
I always think about how obesity creates a negative chain reaction in health outcomes, and then I think about how America's healthcare system is nothing but a network of negative chain reactions. It doesn't take much political theory to understand it's unsustainable.
The thing I find must upsetting about obesity in America is that it's a considered a failure on the Indvidual (like everything is) and because of that they don't deserve help. The popular response and institutional response to obesity is literally just "Go on a diet Fat-ass!". That's it. It's an iron-clad thought-terminating cliche . They're fat, they're fat because they ate too much, it's their problem, go the gym loser. I don't need to empathize with them at all because they did it to themselves. Boom! Done!
You don't have to do any more investigation or thought on why a nation-wide issue exists. It's their fault because they are bad people. Of course, the same applies to just about every major public social issue in America. Especially Poverty and Addiction. It's the same logic chain for people. It's a "you" problem, and it won't happen to them because "I'm special, I'm built different, I'm uniquely blessed to overcome the hardships of my fellow man" (NOTE: You are in fact not built different.)
It's so stupid that Amerikkka cannot even parse the idea of public health. It's truly one of the most vile morally bankrupt nations in history.
Dudes have such cool names.
Dudes have cool names if they have the courage. Trans men have such a unique opportunity to be rad as hell. Not to be sexist, but I think the fellas have some sick names across cultures.
They could charge a lot more, but they had to actually invest in development so that clients would be willing to pay for an upgrade.
That one thing I hate about technology as it is. It's not modern tech is inherently bad, it's that technology is engineered around becoming more profitable rather than better. They aren't making better products anymore, they just finding new ways to charge you for them. UGH.
There are like two MEGACORPS that run educational textbook industry. I know many students who used Z-Library to get their textbooks. It's crazy that IP law is ALWAYS about money, nothing else. IP law does nothing but get in the way of education and knowledge creation. Z-Lib was the plug.
