they dont care about anything but their money and the bunkers where they think they'll hide during the coming man made disasters
Milkshakes in negative temps hit different.
hit better.
Fuckin delicious.
it hits -30f, you put on the shorts, the light hoodie, and you go out and get milkshakes.
You might as well just take the long nap.
No ones gonna do anything.
We're gonna keep wringing our hands about it, desperately shout time is running out...and watch time run out, then shrug our shoulders and go "Welp, nothing we can do about it now"
next 4 years are gonna be made much more tolerable from watching all the conservative bleating and handwringing about "HE WASNT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO HURT THE NOT-MES!"
"we are already in our own territory, why should we withdraw"
Y'all realize that you are doing exactly what these creators want, right?
They create stupid/outlandish shit, because they know people, like everyone posting here, will spread the video to the 4 corners in indignant outrage, and give the creator more spread and exposure than they would have ever gotten on youtube alone due to algorithm.
And if you don't do that, you'll make tons of comments on the video/youtube channel, massively spiking their engagement and skewing the algorithm in their favor
you can log into GOG directly from Lutris and download and run games directly in lutris. Its what I've always used.
Remember folks.
This is how they infiltrate circles and twist them to right wing authoritarianism and extremism
They send in someone who uses a soft approach as their opening gambit, talking about how they are good people, and how they don't deserve to be excluded, and its really unfair to judge them for what they and their associates do, and that if you were really as tolerant and as leftist as you said you were you'd accept them, and engage with them, and sup with them.
While handwaving any of the actual, legitimate, pointed criticisms as the actions of a "tiny minority of zealots"
Its death by a thousand cuts, and what Hamartia here is doing is trying to do the first tiny cut. To try to make you feel unreasonable, and possibly even bigoted, for taking a stand againts the poor, innocent nazis/tankies/etc.
You know why this hasnt been a significant problem until this past decade? Cause these people were punched in the mouth the second they started "Well, Ackshually~"ing in the defense of right wing fascist extremism. The second they started to fly their freak flags. Its why they have a whole underculture of co-opted symbology and secret coded language, because they were scared and had to hide, and needed a way to recognize eachother without risking a baseball bat to their jaw.
And the reason we stopped doing that, is because this soft handed approach of theirs worked. Its why they dropped the coded language. Its why their freak flags are flying high and proud now. Its why they are openly, gleefully saying their absolute horrid, unfiltered hated with gleeful abandon now. Because what Hamartia is doing, worked. It got their foot in the door, and as soon as it was there, they crushed in with the entire party and took over.
You can see where we are today, and its because we let their faux-reason, concern trolling, and paly acting exploit our tolerance.
And you see what its gotten us
And you see why its better to go back to the old classics of punching these motherfuckers in the mouth.
So don't let this soft hand propaganda being done by Hamartia and others sway you. Don't let it make you feel unreasonable, or uncivil. They are manipulating you to open the door for the ones behind them that arent capable of feigning and playacting "polite" discourse in attempt to make you feel like you're the bad guy.
These people have no place in a polite and tolerate society. They are a cancer that seeks to destroy it, by exploiting our beliefs against ourselves. Its not paradoxical. Its not hypocritical. Its not whatever bullshit attempt they make next at trying to twist tolerance into a dagger for them to use to stab tolerance itself in the back and kill it to their extreme benefit, and to societies great loss.
Because Tesla has never had a recall. 🙄
Tesla has always been that, dude.
This isnt 2002.
EVs from other car makers are both cheaper, and better built, than any Tesla. The Market has left Teslas and their bullshit in the dust.
Yep. Elons always been a massive piece of shit.
The idiots who've spent the past decade slobbing all up and down his knob have just willfully turned a blind eye to it cause they subjugated themselves to his derranged cult of personality, that was built all around the idea of his "saviour of humanity" bullshit with regards to his stupid rockets and electric cars.
never said it didnt, but the narrative/oyt loud focus does shift with time towards new boogiemen
100% guarantee price raises across the board, even for stuff not affected by tarrifs/mass deportation labor shortages.
It'll be covid all over again, an excuse to price gouge the fuck out of those who can least afford it.
"We wont arrest Netanyahu because of our Nazi History, and the fact that it warms our blood to see a faithful brother of the Reich rise up and continue Hitlers work. Sieg Heil, Netanyahu!"
Google literally only pays firefox so it can point at firefox and go "Look, see, not anti-competitive/monopoly!"
Because hateful people always need an other. an outsider. Someone be fearful of, yet feel smugly superior too
It used to be black people.
then it was the irish and the itallians.
then it was hispanics.
then it was gays
and now its trans people.
Unfortunately, its 100% going to be liberal nonprofits that advocate and help people.
Do you still have to use BePinEx to mod CS2 if you dont use paradox mods?
I finally picked up CS2, and was wanting to install a couple mods to get going.
Immediately put off by paradox demanding an account to install mods from paradox mods, so I am trying to get mods from elsewhere.. and the only thing i can find is stuff from a year+ ago saying BePinEx is needed to install mods.
Just wanted to make sure if this is still what you have to do today, before I go down a rabbit hole.
New Tenative release date of March 2025 for Suikoden 1 & 2 Remaster
After an unexpected delay and quietly vanishing for a year, Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster has reemerged with a new release date of March 6, 2025.
I wonder if this one is gonna be met, or if the whole thing isnt all vaporware.
Starfield Update Tonight adds the REV-8 Vehicle.
But it'll probably be better known as the Mako Mk.2 by anyone who played Mass Effect 1, because holy shit its the Mako.

How to install Fallout London on Steam On Linux
I spent 3 days trying to get FOLON to work following both the official website guide and every post I could find on the internet, and I finally said fuck it and played around with it myself and figured out how to get it running.
I'm posting here in case anyone else has had the same problems I did and don't have a solution. The first half is pretty much identical to their instructions

You should be able to launch Fallout 4 now, and have it load directly into Fallout london, and thanks to making appmanifest read only, steam will never update the game and bork your mod.

If any of you out there had woes getting FOLON to work like I did I really hope this helps
Edit- About 30 minutes ago, as of this edit, a patch was released to address many problems with FOLON. None of the techniques I've listed here for installing the main mod works with the patch. I am continuing to experiment and if I can figure it out I will edit this post again or make a replied post.
Edit 2-
Okay, I could not find a way to get the patcher to work to patch the game
But the base install files are also updated to the same version as the patch, so just redownload the executable and the bin files from gog and follow the steps in the original guide
"Starfield's lead quest designer had 'absolutely no time' and had to hit the 'panic button' so the game would have a satisfying final quest"
"It became very clear that we were missing the large final location that was going to tie the story together," says former lead quest designer Will Shen.
""We were finally at a state in the project where we could play through the whole [game]. And it became very clear that we were missing the large final location that was going to tie the story together and have a satisfying action-filled payoff," Shen said. "I was both implementing the main quest and leading the quest design team, so I had absolutely no time. The entire quest design team was already overbooked.""
The quest design team being overbooked and not having time certainly explains a lot.
The Creator of Suikoden died on Feb 6 due to complications from an ongoing illness.
I am immeasurably bummed to hear this, and worse still that he passed with so little fanfare that I am only finding out now over 2 weeks later.
Anyone got a good list/collections of "essential"/Recommended mods for Cities Skylines 1?
Essential as in pretty much everyone agrees are good and worth having, I know no mod is essential in the literal sense, and opinions will change whats essential to each individual.
Looking for a bit of a list/collection cause otherwise I'll go down the rabbit hole and end up modding my game to much to be playable.. Which I wish was a joke, but that happened last time I got my itch on for city building, lol.
Would Nuclear Weapons be as destructive in ship to ship space combat, as they are on the ground in an atmosphere?
As far as I know, the big damage from Nuclear Weapons planetside is the massive blastwave that can pretty much scour the earth, with radiation and thermal damage bringing up the rear.
But in space there is no atmosphere to create a huge concussive and scouring blast wave, which means a nuclear weapon would have to rely on its all-directional thermal and radiation to do damage.. but is that enough to actually be usful as a weapon in space, considering ships in space would be designed to handle radiation and extreme thermals due to the lack of any insulative atmosphere?
I know a lot of this might be supposition based on imaginary future tech and assumptions made about materials science and starship creation, but surely at least some rough guess could be made with regards to a thernonuclear detonation without the focusing effects of an atmosphere?
Steam Link broken on linux? Anyone have experience?
I set up Steam Link on my raspberry pi to try and do some couch gaming over the holiday.. but its no bueno. I am on a 5600x/6700xt with wayland on linux, and steam is up to date.
I get a black screen with a mouse cursor.
I try launching steam with the -pipewire command as i've read elsewhere, and I can see big picture mode, but its horribly slow.. But the weird thing is, its only steam/games thats slow. The mouse runs in real time without lag, and any sounds run in real time without lag or hiccup. But the video is like 1 frame per minute, so I can push left on the d-pad and have to sit and wait forever for the selection on the TV to move (even though its moved over immediately on the desktop).
Games are the same issue. Game runs fine on the desktop, audio runs fine on the streamed TV, but the video is just like..slide show.
I've tried running it at the lowest possible image quality settings. at low bandwidth, at high bandwidth, at the max the network test suggested, tried turning all the settings like hardware video encoding and stuff off and on. Nothing makes a difference.
Is steam link just completely screwed or am I being an idiot and doing something wrong?
Suikoden II's intro music continues to be one of the greats of video game music to this day.
And it does such a magnificent, beautiful job of evoking and condensing the emotional roller coaster of the story down into just about 2 and a half minutes of music.
Starts out low, drawn out, tense. Quickly becomes heavy, evoking a sense of dread and conflict before dumping you off the edge into the uncertanty and panic of conflict and war, building up to a great horror before mellowing out to give you a moments rest..before a massive tonal shift that becomes hopeful, uplifting, an anthem of brighter days ahead. Then it gets more complex, more deep, adding new instruments that represent the new recruits and the growing of the liberation army, before finishing off in a beautiful and powerful crescendo as a triumph over the dark trials earlier in the music.
Anyone else reconsidering buying the game with the performance issues now being revealed? Or the lack of Workshop support?
A lot of people who have had hands on experience with the game thus far (certain modders, City Planner Plays, Biffa, etc) have made note of its terrible performance, even top of the line rigs with 1500 dollar video cards.
Like, 15-20fps levels of performance on top tier cards.
Granted, that's on high settings.. but its a freaking city building game, not a AAA hyper realism ray traced first person VR experience. It shouldn't require a nuclear power plant to play a city builder!
And you shouldn't have to run the game on low settings just to get a playable framerate with a decent rig, modern rig.
That, and the lack of workshop support? I mean, I get them wanting to host it themselves, but that just means it'll be alive only for as long as they want to host it, vs steam which the workshop will be there until valve goes out of business.. and I'd wager CO goes under long before steam does.
I was excited for CS2.
But these two bits have really pushed the game off the shelf for me into that "Well, Maybe I'll buy it in a year or 2 when its on sale for 5-10 bucks" territory.
Is the 6800 non XT worth the price increase over the 6700/6750xt?
I'm currently running a rx580 (with a 5600x and 16gb of ram), and its finally starting to show its age and not be able to run at the settings i would prefer, at the frames I would like.
This is a card I'll probably, barring its sudden demise, be sticking with for the next 5-6 years, So keep that in mind too. I know vram demand in games is on the rise too, even for 1080p, which is why I have not considered any 8gb cards like the 6600 or the 7600.
I've narrowed my choices down to the 6700xt, 6750xt and rx6800 (non-xt). Which will be used almost entirely for 1080p gaming (maybe 1440p if my current monitor dies and I'm forced to replace it)
6700xt is attractive simply because its the cheapest. 6800 is attractive cause its more powerful, which I would hope means I'd get a bit more extra time out of it.
6750xt is kinda stuck in the middle.. -100ish bucks cheaper than the 6800, but also 70-90ish bucks more expensive than the 6700xt, and from all the reviews I've seen, it seems like it only averages around a 5-8fps boost over the 6700xt which doesn't exactly seem worth the investment?
This is where I need the advice of those who are more experienced/knowledgeable than I am.
Would the 6800 have enough horsepower to be viable long enough after the 6700xt/6750xt hit their limits to be worth the price jump, or Should I save 100 bucks and get the 6750? Or should I just go straight with the 6700xt and save almost 200 bucks?
My gut is telling me 6700xt, but I'd like some outside, hands on experienced opinions, if you'd be so kind to give them, before I can quash the debate in my head.
Outer Worlds Spacers Choice Edition: Horrible, Nausea inducing texture/model flickering. Please help?
I am trying to get Outer Worlds: Spacers Choice edition working, but it has horrible texture flickering, regardless of the proton version of in game graphic settings.
And I dont mean like, color strobing or anything, World Textures and NPCs both flicker rapidly in and out of existence, to the point you can see through them to whats behind them. I have never had an issue with flickering lights or anything before, but its so intense its even causing me nausea to look at it.
I have tried many combinations of in game graphic settings from low to ultra, with no effect whatsoever.
I have also tried several different versions of proton ( Experimental, 7.0-6, 8.0-2 and various versions of GE Proton from 7-20 to 8-6 ) None of which has altered the behavior in any way.
I'm on Ubuntu 22.04, Using Wayland, and my MESA drivers are up to date. I have a RX580 and a 5600x CPU, with 16g of ram. Edit: I am also on kernal 6.3, not an older one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank you.
edit
Changed video cards from a rx480 to a 6700xt and it worked fine. game must have had some issue with Polaris.
