I guess they know their audience has never been to a library

I kind of like seeing the annoying thumbnails cause I find it correlates pretty good to the content I want to avoid

Yep, the CEO of our multi-billion dollar company recently sent an email congratulating everyone on a job well done and record profits this quarter, yet our department laid off everyone they newly hired and cut all our hours. My boss said he's worked here for 30 years and he's never seen cost cutting like this. It's disgusting.

Where I am, the price of fast food is just about equal to some restaurants. There's no point in doing fast food anymore.

My read is it's more about taking work away from Evil Empire rather than it being about the game itself. Motion Twins created Evil Empire to handle future updates for Dead Cells, but then announced that the next update is the final update doesn't bode well for job security.

The game released a few months ago. How have you not known? It was a pretty big deal.

But what do you do when all the products are overpriced?

Dear God. I gag whenever I see the monstrosity that is the YouTube homepage without my logged in recommendations. I'd hate to see what's served completely randomly. I thought daytime television was a vapid wasteland, but it's nothing compared to unadulterated YouTube.

Maybe vapid is the wrong word, but y'all know what I'm getting at.

My mother does this. She says it's because she can't hear it when she puts it up to her ear. I think she's just not positioning the phone correctly to her ear. I've bought her headphones and headsets, but she's a retired old lady that's technologically challenged so she's pretty much never going to stop it.

I know there's always someone evangelizing Linux when you mention Windows anything, but when Microsoft requires a subscription for Windows is the day I will actually move to Linux.

I was thinking that it was the horniest game I've ever played, but I didn't see it as a problem. Also, a bit of topic, but the steam reviews from mad players who "accidentally" did the nasty with the unintended persons is hilarious. They should have selected the nohomo dialog option.

My old gaming laptop, a Sager NP9752 with a GTX 980m, was a beast when I bought it, but it's started to feel its age. Though it's still very usable, I decided it was time for something new. I'm obsessed with small powerhouses, so when I found out about the Ally I was intrigued. For a while, I was indecisive going between the Steam Deck and the Ally. What cinched the deal was the XG Mobile dock. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any in stock, Amazon has it way over priced, and the 4090 version would take it way out of the price I'm willing to pay for such a thing. Luck would have it, I found one Best Buy that had a used 6850 version that was $100 dollars cheaper than MSRP. I've been using this setup for a couple of weeks now, and color me impressed. This thing works very well as a laptop replacement. The little annoyances are outweighed by the portability. And I do take it out with me way more than I did the laptop.

That's all. Thanks for listening to my TED talk.
