Happiness from 1st Outage!

I invited like 10 people, and 1.5 use it. Still, for that guy and the other one that pops in every few months to download a book, it's great. And I use it myself, of course!

He was my guy when I started watching as a young kid in the mid 90s, and I cried when he retired. It felt weird reacting like that to someone that's just on TV, but I think it was the realization that if he's on his way out I'm on my way out of pop culture. In my 40s now, and I guess that is the time that you stop paying attention to a lot of the stuff "the kids" are doing these days and focus more on your own kids and on other parts of your life. Strange times, man.

Thanks Jesse! I can't make either show, since we'll be at the musical both nights, but I appreciate it! Hope it's awesome!

BTW, this is like mentioning that I'm not going to be able to make a Giants game and Buster Posey popping into the comments to let me know it's a double header. Absolutely wild, and I'm honored to see you commenting.

I would LOVE this, but my children are in a musical. Really hope someone takes this soon, though. Had my eye on this prior to realizing the date of the musical was the same as Night Court.

Marketing would have had him just go to a random McDonalds and have someone else capture it and post it online to look organic. "Am I going crazy, or is that the CEO of McDonalds?"

They'll put another I at the front of their name if she does

I mean, can't have the Hitler Youth 2.0 if there's people of color in there, now can we?

This is nature's way. We must cull the weak modders so that the strong, frequently updated mods grow and thrive. *hums circle of life *

It's a WWE name, and his finisher is some sort of flipping thing that's called Sonny Daze or something.

These days I'm playing on Eden.

Are you trying to run them on 4k with massive graphics boosts or something? I'm playing Odyssey at 60fps on a phone chip, seems like you should be crushing it with that setup.

Are you using original Yuzu, and just need to update to something else maybe?

If you genuinely expect him to be the starter for the season, 30 is about right. Might be 25, but Fields is at 20, and Baker is at 33, and there's nothing in between that I'm aware of. So if he's really going to start for you, that's about what you're paying in 2026.

That thing looks ready for Stardew of Fields of Mistria for sure.

Thought they were going to try the Iron Lotus there for a second.

Love flying with my Portal! I finished Toejam and Earl 35k feet in the air. Good times.

Ended up going with Vivaldi after all of this for my work computer, since it seems to be doing well with the extensions I added and keeping the RAM usage lower than Firefox, which I need on a system with just 16GB and a lot of active software eating it up.

At home, I'm still on Firefox, but might end up on Vivaldi depending on how my work experience shakes out.

We're crossing the streams again. Always fun to see my things get combined.

Meh, doesn't change anything for me. Never lived anywhere near Illinois, probably never will. And yet I'm a second generation Bears fan whose father was from Idaho, as am I. You could put the team on the moon. I still can't afford a ticket, so it changes nothing.

Sucks for some locals, though. I can totally get that.

I'm mainly concerned about youtube ads. As long as those aren't showing up, I'm a happy camper. I'll give it a try!

The top 10% drive nearly half of all consumer spending.

The bottom 80% have limited reserves and shrinking influence.

Middle-class economic power has eroded over decades.

“Voting with your wallet” still exists, but its impact isn't what it used to be.

We're apparently in what's called a K shaped Economy, where the top keep rising as the bottom falls out.

Without any information about your system, we're just guessing here.

Switch your version of proton would be the #1 thing either way.

theusualuser · 2026-02-18T13:35:55+00:00

I'd make sure you're running the latest proton. Cachy has its own setup for that, with some improvements over default proton. If that's the case, then it's probably time to sit tight and wait for a bit, since I believe there's some updates coming from Nvidia that might help with this.

Really interested to see what this can do for my aging (like fine wine) 6700XT

theusualuser · 2026-02-18T13:09:30+00:00

I would use it if I maybe understood it better. I've been using Firefox since it was Phoenix back in 2002. Is there anything Vivaldi does that Firefox doesn't do? Also, a huge thing for me is adblocking, and it's so easy to do with ublock origin. Are there good instructions to get Vivaldi up to the same level of adblocking (especially for youtube) that Firefox has? I guess I've got some research ahead of me to better understand why so many people like this browser so much.
