Don't use AI slop, please.

What do you mean? Thunderbird literally IS on Android (F-Droid, Google Store).

A filter some AI used, probably.

Yeah, it's normal. Your body is recuperating, give it time.

Would GNU Taler be useful in this situation?

Austria, what the fuck? They're even calling it a "Bundestrojaner" and nobody's batting an eye?

Not exactly a high bar to clear.

First off, I can't believe YouTube described its content as "high-quality", because most of it isn't. Second off, what the hell did Google expect? They've been doing a piss-poor job at reviewing their content for years and even when they actually do, they don't do it because they want to make the platform more comfortable for kids to use or anything virtuous like that, it was to make the advertisers happy. So yeah, now the governments are involved, tough shit.

Doesn't this run counter to EU's rule that all small electronic devices - which the Switch 2 falls under - need to have USB-C chargers? In the sense that even though the plug is USB-C shaped, it's not compliant to the standard?

Big news for VF fans. Yes, both of us.

In all seriousness, this is probably my favourite 3D fighter and I'm eager to see how it comes out!

I used to not like Funko Pop, but that changes today. I now loathe them.

I smell desperation. There's ten of thousands of actors out there and they decide to re-hire RDJ? It feels like they're counting on his star power to save their precious Marvel shows and/or movies. It won't help, of course, because bad casting isn't why people stopped watching. People are superhero'ed out and yet they're pumping out Marvel shit like there's no tomorrow. And I do mean shit, the quality of Marvel movies fell off sharply after Endgame. The talent just isn't there, man. Stop.

Lately I've been thinking about Voxatron, an incomplete yet fun little top-down-ish shooter game from 2011. I love the way it looks and plays, so I've been wondering if there are any other games with the same aesthetic?

It's a bit hard to explain, but what I liked specifically about Voxatron was how the characters and the environment were animated. Everything seemed to snap to an invisible three-dimensional grid, or in other words, voxels didn't rotate. Here's an example.

What I'm not looking for is a game that is made of voxels, but is animated like polygons, if that makes sense. Like this. I'm not really sure what term to use, because searching for "voxel games" was not very fruitful for me. Search results encompassed everything from Minecraft to Severed Steel.

I imagine animating a game in such a way would be super time consuming, but I still have to ask: are there any games that fit this criteria?

For those unaware, The Triple-i Initiative is a group of indie studios whose purpose is to highlight fan-favorite games and hype up established indie classics as well as new IPs.

So, without further ado, here are the trailers. Names in bold are new releases, the rest are updates to existing games:

Has anyone seen Behind the Curve? Most of these flat earth people seem to possess some level of critical thinking, just... not enough. That, or their pride or obstinacy get in the way. At the end of the documentary, a team of flat-earthers perform an actual, well thought out experiment. It's... well, just watch.

Best part? Immediately after this, they discard the results of the experiment saying the premise was faulty. Somehow.

Not to say I hate the genre, I actually love me some Dusk or Turbo Overkill, but why, oh why are they called Boomer Shooters?

These games clearly took inspiration from 90s FPS games, which 👌, but they were played mostly by Gen Xers and Millenials, not Boomers. When games like Duke Nukem 3D or Quake were out, Boomers were what? 30 to 50 years old? I'm sure some of them played FPS games, but there is no way they were the majority.

Whenever I see the term Boomer Shooter, my mind goes to games like Shootout! for Magnavox Odyssey. Can't we call them something else, like Retro FPSes or something?

Anyway, rant over. Thank you for your time.

EDIT: We decided not to pursue further diagnosis, because we wouldn’t know what the hell we’re doing anyway, and decided to start the RMA process instead. It might not even be the reason why the PC won’t turn on, but I’m not comfortable with putting that CPU back into his PC again. Once we get a replacement, we’ll see what happens. If it’s still busted, we’ll just take it to a local shop. Thank you everyone for your for your suggestions and insight, they are very much appreciated.

My friend called me to take a look at his PC that wouldn’t turn on. Upon inspecting his CPU, I noticed a silver bump at the bottom. I’ve never seen this. Can anyone tell me what it is?

Man, I hope there were some heavy repercussions for the person who did this. This isn't funny, it's just wasteful and mean-spirited.
