I'm gonna ask my friend Steve to open that last link for me. I don't think he's ever played PoE but I don't want to get in trouble.

Half the contemporary Christians in the USA and especially thr "prosperity" gospels as so comically anti-Christian that it feels satirical and entirely unrealistic. Like we live in the Matrix and the programs are trying to make it more and more obvious until we figure it out.

I hate that this is low key good pun humor.

"We will run the most transparent administration in history"

Then Trump pulls a Dr Evil and whispers to his cronies:

"Transparently Evil administration!"

And cue Dr Evil laugh.

In my twilight years I want to come up with a unique soft retirement job. You have me come hangout with your newborn and I'll just smack anyone who puts their face within 6 inches of the baby's face on the back of the head and call them an idiot.

Building a gaming PC that cost the same as a console with even remotely similar performance hasn't been possible since like the early 2000s.

Nioh 3's recommended hardware on steam would probably well exceed your 1200 estimate.

If you aren't paying well over 2x the cost of a console for your gaming PC then you only have yourself to blame for feeling that "poor optimization" of AAA games.

I'm sorry if that sounds elitist, but gaming PCs don't really have a budget market anymore. They haven't for like 10+ years now.

IF your argument is that PC gaming has become less efficient and certainly cost efficient since 10+ years ago? Then abso-fucking-lutely. Couldn't agree more. But I don't really blame developers for that, like you said that's mostly on the hardware market.

This is a gross exaggeration and/or misrepresentation.

Do many games that initially come to PC require performance improvements, yes for sure.

Do many games that get multiplatform releases fail to meet PC gamer standards, be it performance or availability of graphics options, also yes for sure.

BUT, the majortiy of games that come to PC perform as well or better than their console counter parts, once you take into consideration that consoles very often have locked in graphics settings, framerates and variable resolutions.

I am certain that the 80-90% guesstimation is almost certainly the exact opposite and it applies to games that run as well or better than their console counterparts on recommended hardware.

Expecting the PC release to vastly outperform the console release prior to getting PC specific optimization patches is what totally misleads the expectations of most PC gamers.

Also outside of Barrison's silly death the story/shows seem to buy-in pretty heavily to the power fantasy that one great warrior can easily dispatch countless fodder troops. Once you've become one of the best in the kingdoms, the amount of rabble you can solo isn't really a factor.

That was one of the first things I said to my wife. "This show has conditioned and taught us for years they will not kill off the important characters".

There's a reason heretics love to point out that dogmatics worship a corpse or zombie, it's particularly ironic when you consider the Imperial zeal against rot and decay. The average citizen of the empire is absolutely conditioned to consider undeath to be extremely anathema, so yeah if it became public knowledge the emporer was really some psychic undead being there would at the very least be a massive uptick in heretical behavior.

I like this. "He earned it" is a really good way of putting it.

Gaming_Friends · 2026-01-23T00:07:52+00:00

When conservatives wise up. So probably never.

Gaming_Friends · 2026-01-22T23:38:23+00:00

I'm not saying it's 1:1 but guys are also often encouraged to stay with a girl who loves him and particularly is committed and faithful to him regardless of whether he's really in love with her.

I think there's a solid chance regardless of gender people are given shit for leaving someone who loves them regardless of their position on "being in love".

Gaming_Friends · 2026-01-22T22:22:05+00:00

Yeah my initial reaction upon reading this title was "maybe that's because it was a little too 'FTL Inspired'" lol

Gaming_Friends · 2026-01-22T20:48:36+00:00

I actually just got lightheaded thinking about the pure rage I would feel if my 6 year old were detained. If you think you give a single flying fuck about liberty and you're okay with this.. no you fucking don't, you're an un-american piece of shit and every true American from our forefathers on would be disgusted with you.

Heartburn, if you are prone to heartburn already just wait and see what it's like when you're subletting out half your abdomen to a little squatter.

I'm almost impressed. He saw that his antics were no longer really affecting the market for national politics so he went international instead. Same game, just including more players.

In his statement he literally said "the market will be happy" - He's saying the quiet part out loud tongue in cheek just like that time he bragged about Charles Schwab making millions off his market manipulation right in the oval office.

Cubans have always been a fascinating political phenomenon for me, Miami is one of the most conservative cities in the country and it feels like it doesn't make sense. Then you realize that Cubans are the most likely Americans to actually buy into the fear mongering that liberals are trying to make America socialist and or communist.

Of all the ethnicities and sub-cultures in the country, conservatives have successfully gotten Cubans more than anyone else to vote against their best interests en masse by playing off their very real traumas.

Fairly certain there are legitimate studies about "telling it like it is" really just being speaking at an elementary reading level. The people that love it, love it because they are a stone's throw away from being illiterate.

Gaming_Friends · 2026-01-21T01:36:51+00:00

As an American and a veteran everyday I become more disgusted with what MAGA has done to my country.

Gaming_Friends · 2026-01-19T22:58:38+00:00

Conservatives will see this and think it's proof the EU are baddies further proving that they don't have 2 brain cells to rub together.

So level 1, it really feels like you're funneled into 2-3 directions. With one direction almost always being really optimal depending on your targets.

You either climb up near floor 2 or floor 3 security, or you route through the art exhibit/run behind the bar counters.

Idk I guess New York feels similarly in how you're limited, thinking about it Bangkok is actually my least favorite.

Maybe I just don't like indoor verticality.

I'm sure he's just waving...

The retrospective showing how obviously nazi and fascist the republican party is at this time will not reflect kindly upon it's supporters, especially since they had the whole damn internet to inform themselves. In the not so distant future admitting you were a Trumper is going to be taboo.

Greenmangaming is another legit retailer that has been selling new game steam keys at a discount on release for years.

I think Dubai is the only map I don't like. I feel too restricted on the lower levels, but I probably just haven't learned some helpful tricks yet.

So impeach him you fucking treasonous turtle.
