You have it backwards.
If GOG goes down, you actually lose what you own.
If Steam goes down, you lose your privileges.
Same, they should just never have made a launcher.
Exit the Gungeon (It's meh) Okami Axiom Verge Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R (That didn't work for me, refunded) Fight Knight (Might refund, it's not fun) New Super Lucky's Tale (2 in 1, remaster and original. Cool)
Reddit.
Fragile Mods. Shitty trolls. Dishonest engagements. Little to no good discussion. Opinions are seen as attacks. Power-tripping users and mods alike. Karma whores.
Oh it's further than that. It's 4-chan users from /b/ who still think worshiping Hitler, calling black people the N word and going around spewing any racial slang around is still the coolest thing to do. ED isn't even an ecyclopedia, it's just the internet's big black book of people the internet doesn't like in the form of lolcows, controversial people who made themselves out to be shitty people. All of these things and more for people to learn about and get personal with since they're all openly doxxed.
The hell do you mean "barely did anything for the Linux gaming scene"? Listen, I'm up to my neck with Linux gamer crybabies always bitching about how someone doesn't throw them a bone, for years. Valve is doing Linux gamers a great service and since Linux was all about free-this and open source that, DRM-free is at least a thing. Fucking can't please whiny Linux gamers.
Fuck Psyonix, they were greedy beforehand.
This isn't really a resolution kind of a question, it's more like a question about what you're looking to do once certain events kick in.
As I've been alluding to some people I know, I will be politically mute to the best of my ability once the Inauguration of commander shithead of chief is sworn in. Every news outlet I know, will be blocked and muted. Because I know they're going to be back to following every breath of Trump and his cronies and I'd like to never hear it again as much as possible.
From there I'm going to be living in an entirely different world, parallel to the real one. Basically saying autopilot is going to manage the real world things and I'm just going to be grasping to escapism.
Anything you have in mind?
I think it was wise for Disney to cherry pick things from the Expanded Universe of Star Wars (which now in turn became Legends). Because let's be honest, all of the messy stuff is derived from the EU, which some hardcore fans of Star Wars really treat as the gospel and bible of the entirety of Star Wars lore.
Not everything Disney did was a home run, like giving Lightsabers moods. But, the Expanded Universe wasn't perfect either. I think trying to straighten the line of Star Wars lore is the best move it could get before things get way too messy again.
I don't get myself too wrapped up in what's canon and what isn't. I'm not a gigantic Star Wars fans so I too just cherry pick what I like about the lore and just go with it.
None. It's just an AI-bloated feature that overcomplicates what people already can do with their Windows OSes.
I imagine it's not really often. I always suspect someone is trying to take advantage of me.
Why are you posting something years ago?
Give it time and they'll have the "shoot yourself in the face with a 9mm because we believe 9mm are pussy guns" challenge.
And they'll do it.
Oh are we sure it's "wrongfully" or planned?
All I see these mini-PCs as, as just personal PCs. The kind you boot up, record things on like private documents, power off and proceed to do other tasks and things on your more expensive machine that can handle the workload. Like they're meant to be PCs you do not want people discovering or see you using, so to say.
I just have a hard time seeing mini PCs as primary devices for everyday use, especially when their upkeep is poor and temperature management is poorer.
...You're a multi-trillion dollar company (in value anyways) operating on billions in operating budget. I expect you, Apple, to make one eventually. Just shut up and try, watch it fail, then withdraw.
Not really. I've been beaten over the head about Christmas as far back as September this year. So, by the time I reach the actual day of Christmas, it's like "...so what?". It's like Capitalism's favorite holiday now, along with Black Friday and Cyber Monday. I can't get that cheery or festive for a day that has been hijacked to maximize profits, especially if people are nagged about it for months on end until it's the day.
How did that get arranged? Did the druggies like get the idea of smuggling backwards? You're supposed to try and get across the border WITH the stuff, not leave them there thinking "ah it'll be fine if we left them there, we needed to offload some weight". Because now they're probably going to come back, realize the bags are gone and be like "oh shit we dumb".
It'll matter once lil Donnie is in office again like before and they tally up the amount of Americans who died under his watch before he has a thought to do something about it. Like before.
Yup, look at them, people. Look at the big-named people all lining up to kiss the biggest corrupted ass that this country has ever seen. It's like they're paying a million just to suck Trump's flaccid old cock. Look at them!
Alcohol.
Lots and lots of people lean heavily on it and think that alcohol is the spice of their life. When, it contributes to so many problems than it's so-called benefits. We tried, in America anyways, to outright ban alcohol. Problem was that the person who wanted it banned, was too extremist.
Like he didn't think it all through and think just going for the jugular of the problem is what will work. When, it didn't and just made people work around it until eventually the ban was dismantled.
So, since then, we've been putting up with drunk drivers, drunk disputes, drunk abusers and other issues. I still wish we could just slam our hands down at the desk and demand we sit to discuss in how to properly deal with this issue than people proclaiming that it's not a problem.
Retail, easy. Like, I enjoy what I do for my job but the people that my store attracts, make it cumbersome. People coming to me all the time with phones in my face of listings to other stores thinking we have them, people impatient, people thinking we have everything and people being deliberately vague but getting pissed when you ask them what they mean.
I would pay for a retro gaming subscription that would give me access to over 1,000 games for $20 a month. Sega Genesis, Atari, Nintendo, Neo-Geo and so much more.
Like why some apartments allow no tenants with pets. Living in an apartment building, some tenants around me absolutely fucking suck with owning pets. Allowing them to bark, wrestle and play loudly, letting them take dumps everywhere and not picking it up. People actually running with their pets with no leashes when leashes are required.
Yeah I side more with apartment offices that have balls to say no pets. Nobody wants the noise.
I have a few.
One is abbreviation hell. Nobody is going to spend the time trying to decipher what you mean when you use over several abbreviations. It is just better if you'd explain than expecting people to understand aside from commonly used abbreviations that are easy to understand.
Another is overstepping your limits for the sake of getting a partner. Compromising your own standards is perhaps one of the worst things you can do when it comes to trying to find dates. Like you're suddenly okay with dating single parents but you don't like children. You're suddenly okay with dating religious people but you're not religious. Things like that. Because it means you're desperate and you're setting yourself up and setting them up for a bad date.
I would watch a channel where someone is dedicated to reviewing like low-end budget products like from Dollar Tree, Dollar General .etc In the same vein as Project Farm.
I ask because I feel I need to save some money in the oncoming months. Currently, I pay over $76 for 100MBps/1000GB cap. And I don't think it's a bad deal, but they're going to be hiking it up to $90+ by next October and I feel it is not worth that. But I also need to save money too.
What is the difference between 55MB and 100MB when it comes to speed? The cap for the 55MBps plan is 350GB and I tried asking if that could be altered but the ISP says they can't. This plan will cost me $30 a month.
All I ever do anymore is just stream YouTube, sometimes Hulu/Netflix/Tubi. Occasionally I'll download a game or two, multiplayer gaming is non-existent.
Edit: There's been a lot of good responses replied to this and I appreciate it.
I'm leaning towards on downgrading with the volume of people that suggest that it isn't that bad, but it boils down to preferences and habitual behaviors when using the internet. With so many games already downloaded and being left to just streaming/Second Life, I think it warrants the change.
I just wish that my ISP would've kicked up the cap to 500GB because that'd sweeten the deal much more but this ISP is not well known and these kind of ISPs operate on different worlds than the big names.
Furthermore, people have suggested going 5G Wireless but the problem with that is that my apartment management is stingy as fuck so it's not an option for me nor does Verizon say that they can offer a plan in my current location. Fiber connections such as Google Fiber, MetroNet .etc aren't an option.
Century Link seems to only offer $70 for...10MB in my location (Fucking awful)
Mediacom says they can't even service my area (then how come I see your vans around where I am with other customers?)
Let's not turn this into what the Reddit subreddit of Piracy has turned into and that's an endless sea of questions that are all the same - "Do I need a VPN?".
And the loud and vocal answer to such a question is - yes. Yes you do need a VPN for pirating. Nobody gets a VPN for casual use and I'm under the impression that VPN services know a lot of people are going to be going to them for pirating and not just accessing content out of their country. And it's for that reason, is why I'm skeptical on entrusting my activity with the bigger VPN names available.
I use ProtonVPN myself, by the way.
Pirating under your raw IP address, only will set you up to get pegged by your ISP whether it's in a short time or a long time. I've only ever gotten one single ISP letter in my entire 26 years of pirating and it was simply because I downloaded without a VPN. Well I was also downloading off of someone else's network to take the fall, but I was confronted about it either way.
And I've gotten away with so much pirating because of my careful cautiousness when it comes to pirating. That and this applies to the United States, but the statue of limitations is 3 years when it comes to copyright infringement. So, good fucking luck to any ISP or so that wishes to try and nail me for something I downloaded 10 years ago, but I digress.
But a large part of me avoiding so much does contribute to having a VPN. So, yes, VPN is required. Please don't ask anybody in the pirating community 100 questions that are all just ways to ask whether or not you need a VPN. You do.
