He's also the one who told the Emperor to move out of his sunlight.

Man, what a guy.

Alexander the Great comes up to you and says "if I was not me, I wish I were you" and your response is "If I wasn't myself, I'd still wish to be myself".

Unfathomably based.

What the fuck, why?

I'm so tired of LinkedIn already, I don't want people messaging me "Let's play 8-ball!"

"Our company doesn't make money, it also is projected to not be able to continue to make money. We've attempted multiple ways of monetizing the userbase, all of which has not recouped costs. We value ourselves at 6.4 billion dollars."

lol, she said.

lmao.

The company that's been running one of the most successful scams in gaming for over a decade is toxic? No way.

I'm so tired of reddit crossposts, they're fucking useless.

VMware has been dying because of the Broadcom acquisition since last year. They basically looked at all the fortune 500s that used the tech and said "hey guys, our new business plan is to jack up the price 500% because your stack is dependent on us" and ever since there's been a ton of positions for migration to cloud services and OpenStack.

Destiny's onboarding for new players is literally the worst. If you don't have a veteran guiding you into the game it's literally impossible to pick up. You want more interest in the game, then make it easier to actually pick it up instead of flat replacing the starter content.

Something similar happened to Whoopi Goldberg when she was hired for Star Trek Generations. They said she would be actively working with Nichelle Nichols, who ultimately had nothing to do with the project. In the opening scene when she is rescued from The Nexus by Chekov her reaction of shock is genuine because she was told up until that point that it would be Nichelle who was starring in that scene and was genuinely surprised to be across from Walter Koening instead.

Hollywood sucks.

You guys were still federated with Lemmygrad this long?

Endeavour has been great with Plasma. That's how I've always configured it.

I can't wait until they push the big Wayland update with KDE; I am using Wayland with an Nvidia card and it can be a bit unpredictable.

Framework laptops are interesting and I hope eventually the modularity allows the components to go down in price. Right now I was looking at a 16 (which all sold out within 3 hours of pre-order launch) but it comes out to easily over 3k CAD for a disassembled kit, skimping on RAM and an SSD.

It's a perfect digitization of D&D 5th edition - it's like having an automatic dungeon master using the rules and regulations we've been playing with on paper for ages.

It has a massive plot that can vary wildly on playthroughs depending on how rolls go, just like the real version.

It's four-player co-op with PVE in an age where cooperation is increasingly rare outside of competitive team games.

It's a well designed, properly built, finished product that can be expanded on with DLC, rather than using them to address core gameplay issues. (looking at you Paradox)
