Any man who has had the misfortune of finding out she didn't actually want him to open up to her when she said "you never let me in!" understands this double-standard.

Nintendo is the Apple of gaming. That's not a compliment.

Effective mass transit to own the libs?

I backed the original Kickstarter in 2014. SQ42 has been "nearly ready" for years now. I'm not at all surprised SQ42 and Star Citizen are covered in suspicion and doubt, given how much time Roberts is willing to waste making sure people have to eat and drink and reworking ships and game mechanics, while getting sucked out of your ship when you warp and being unable to refuel/rearm remained problems for years. Hell I bet they still are.

The game was supposed to be something we could play on our own terms, not a wide open griefer fest like it is now.

I dunno I stopped waiting, I don't care anymore.

Even for Windows, as shit as it is, this seems hard to believe.

I dated a Chinese student at university. She seemed alright until somehow the topic of Tibet came up, and then she went full tankie describing how the Tibetan people were nearly subhuman, living terrible lives with no ability to care for themselves.

I've heard people say similar shit about indigenous Americans and yeah I think it's safe to say that you cannot understate the dangers of propaganda and nationalism.

Nobody is mad that Civilization and Factorio cause us to accidentally pull all-nighters, they're mad that the latest Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, Grand Theft Auto, and other similar games are designed to extract as much money as possible from people.

Once upon a time people worried about MMO addiction and that was before they added $40 horses. I was on the other side back then, now game publishers can go fuck themselves.

Going from game port to USB with "plug and play" was a huge deal man. Not having to manually assign IRQ to get your audio working too lol. That said, there is still one thing that was cursed in the old days and remains cursed now: printers. Fuck printers.

Audiophile equipment is just magic crystal bullshit for pseudointellectuals.

Years back I was waiting at a bus hub after I had just got through one of the most grueling days of my life and I looked the way I felt. A woman asks me for directions and it turns out she is on the same bus, so she starts to chat. She was a university-educated beauty while I was looking my worst, just trying to keep myself fed while I wrapped up some missed high school credits before doing an adult-ed course.

I don't think I've ever been more suspicious of someone in my life, but after chatting for over half an hour she seemed quite intelligent and genuine, and I decided to ask for her info before we split up.

Called her to set up a date and she got a little hung up on the word "date", using anything but that. Thought maybe she was just being a little non-committal at first, not necessarily scary. We meet up and grab a quick coffee, then she asks me to come with her because she has a night planned out. Fuck yeah, right?

It was a fucking youth group and she damn near tried to drag me in. I walked home, fuck that.

A lot of new users are coming to Linux not because they like tinkering with their setup but because they are tired of Microsoft tinkering with their setup. For these people Arch will probably never be the answer. That's ok, we should encourage all Linux adoption and the best way to do that is to start with the simple and familiar.
