I feel like a game in development this long is extremely unlikely to be good.

Also I’m one of the dozens of people that liked Requiem (2e) more than Masquerade. Dozens of us!

I’d heard of him but didn’t think about him often.

I’ve known 3 philosophy majors that I know of.

One had a PhD and was absolutely insufferable. We were coworkers, and he’d often say falsehoods to try to be funny. Like, “Did you write that documentation I asked for?”, and he’d say like “I spent all morning writing it as a series of haikus”. I’m like, my guy, just answer the question. I’d ask him to stop being sarcastic so often in professional contexts and he’d be like “I’m not being sarcastic I’m being ironic.” You knew what I meant, Ryan!

He would also use language to say things that were tEcHnIcAlLy true. Like, “I finished that task (or 1 equals 1)”, except he had more subtle ones.

Was it because he was a philosophy PhD? Probably not. Some of his annoying habits he tied back to philosophy stuff, but he was probably just an asshole. But that’s who I think of (other than chidi)

The other one I knew was fine in a messy nihilist rich kid way. Fun at parties. Can’t be friends.

And the last one is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Just thoughtful and patient and a really positive person.

…who is paying a million dollars for a skin??

These skins have 15% returns? That seems dubious but it could be. I don’t think you can sink $300k into skins like you can vanguard, though.

Who is buying these skins. I feel like such an alien sometimes. I just can’t understand wanting to spend any money at all on a cosmetic skin

Moved to Linux (popos on desktop, mint on ancient laptop). Been fine. Don’t miss windows. Play games and browse the web without issue.

No. Never had that thought.

Any night that I’m just sitting alone at home I consider kind of a disappointment. I try to at least go for a walk or something.

I think Lemmy (and maybe social media in general) might have a greater proportion of people who don’t like going out and being social.

“”"

A worker is getting out of his car at the company parking lot when the company owner pulls up in a new sports car.

“Wow,” says the worker. “How did you afford that beauty?”

“I’ll tell you what,” says the owner. “If you work hard, put in some extra hours, hit all our numbers, I can buy another one this quarter.”

“”"

Wage theft is bigger than all other theft. Some people are happy to be a cog in the machine.

Remove as many nazis and nazi sympathizers as I can, probably.

It’s projection, as usual.

Thiel is a dangerous piece of trash and I’m disappointed he hasn’t… let’s say… been beamed up like kirk.

When I was making money, I’d buy albums from bands I liked. Built up a nice library.

Some people buy albums

Depends how you define “evil”. And if I was hungry or tired when I got this power.

There’s good odds like every Republican official and donor would go directly into a bad time. Some would say that’s evil.

Other people have more detailed and factual answers, but a good heuristic is “there must be outgroups for the law to bind but not protect, and in groups for the law to protect but not bind”. That’s what they want. They want to do what they want while women and queers and non-whites are subjugated. They want to say something inappropriate and touch their women coworkers without consent, and know if she raises her voice she’ll be fired.

They are scum.

Maybe? Conservatives are mostly about feelings. The “fuck your feelings” thing was a confession and projection, as most conservative accusations are.

Stuff I use the phone for in rough order of importance:

• maps and GPS
• messaging (signal)
• emulators and other quality games (none of that candy crush slop)
• ebook reading
• Wikipedia / quick research
• Lemmy

I could drop lemmy from mobile because it’s just a time waster and news source.

Wikipedia is important because too often people are interminably arguing something that can be settled with a 30 second search. Like, you don’t need to spend 5 minutes arguing about the population of NJ just look it up.

Games are nice. I don’t want to go back to carrying around a second device for games like it’s 2001. I could bring a steam deck everywhere but that doesn’t fit in my pocket.

I don’t have any notifications turned on except like direct messages, so I don’t find it much of a distraction.

Never played the original, but I don’t feel a need for remakes.

Switched to PopOS on my desktop and Mint on the ancient laptop my gf had laying around. No real complaints. Games run fine. Browser runs fine. I had some trouble getting mint installed on the old laptop, but the internet had a solution.

I think the install process is kind of daunting for many users, but once it’s going I think the average user won’t have any problems. Windows, by contrast, is kind of aggressive with its “GOING TO UPDATE NOW” and “don’t you want to use one drive???”
