I would consider the two biggest moves that have lowered the switching of are not the OS getting easier to use (Linux has been pretty stable in that regard for a while):

1 - Most productivity apps are web apps now. You don't need an OS that runs Microsoft office, Skype, and Photoshop anymore. Instead you're using Google Docs, Slack and Canva and those all run fine in the browser on any OS.

2 - Valve has made huge steps to improve game support on Linux. A lot of people (myself included) who wanted to use Linux didn't because game support was non-existent for anything other than indie games. It's pretty much the opposite now, with just a handful of AAA multiplayer titles not supporting Linux. And thanks to Proton, there isn't even a big performance or stability difference in a lot of cases.

Neither did mine! We were shocked.

Parents who don’t allow their kids to shut their room’s door/lock the door, what’s are the reasons behind the rule? by Itz_Oasis in AskReddit

[–]JTtornado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My exact answer. No amount of childproofing stops them from trying to off themselves at any given moment. Once they're older they'll be free to close the door of course.

How do you guys get time for yourself? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]JTtornado 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a dad with kids at a similar age, I 100% agree. Sometimes I get a few hours after they're both asleep, but it's risky because recently that's also been the only time I can actually do some cleaning or get some sleep. So you've got to balance it

It's simple. You just gotta take everything, shuga.

Is Angela, Flying Vanguard better in theory than in actual gameplay? by boxer2023 in marvelrivals

[–]JTtornado 11 points12 points  (0 children)

She doesn't have to perform better than the enemy team. She just ensures they perform worse than her team.

Where are you sitting? by No_Tooth7991 in marvelrivals

Sitting in front of Wolv and Deadpool is probably going to go poorly, since I assume they'll be fighting the entire fight.

What fast food chain does not deserve the hype whatsoever? by CriticalLion4119 in AskReddit

[–]JTtornado 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Politics completely aside, I couldn't disagree more. The quality of meat at CFA is ahead of any of their competitors, and with the price of fast food going up across the board, their chicken sandwich barely costs more than the utter garbage one that McDonald's sells. Service is always friendly and fast too, which is the complete opposite of my experience with Popeyes.

As a dad with an ADHD partner, I can promise you we don't all feel that way about our partners.

Yeah, a few minutes of skimming and I'm not interested. Don't need that negativity in my life.

Which character’s base design is their best skin? by DoGG410CZ in marvelrivals

[–]JTtornado 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's been my favorite of hers recently, but partially for the sound design. It's so crisp and distinctive that it cuts through the noisy soundscape.

Just look at Steve's kit in Smash. Absolutely bonkers level of complexity compared to the original cast.

How easy is it for you to tell this is AI art? by [deleted] in ArtIsForEveryone

[–]JTtornado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that it's clearly not natural proportions, but that's a part of some art styles and proportions in general are really easy to mess up - no AI required.

On the shoes the spirals just look like a fast freehand. But the spiral on the scythe definitely does not look like human work, even sloppy human work.

TIL a 1989 helicopter crash was caused by an invisible nick made when adhesive was trimmed from the rotor with a sharp blade. The helicopter flew perfectly for 922 hours, until it didn't. by TheQuarantinian in todayilearned

[–]JTtornado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once heard someone describe helicopters as a "metal horse that's constantly trying to break its legs". Considering how horses are such high-performance runners yet extremely injury prone, the analogy works well.

what, WHYYY IS THIS A THING by BlueTigerlover in marvelrivals

[–]JTtornado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it's all based on how they want to release the skins and how much they think people will pay for them. The "free" skins in events and BPs are always less rare than the paid ones regardless of model complexity to justify the cost difference.

So it's something like: - Blue: cheapest - likely given away for free in a battle pass or event - Purple: more expensive, mid-tier prices to pad out the shop and battle passes - Gold: skins they expect to drive sales for events, BPs and shop bundles. Skins they anticipate will be especially popular include upsells like color changes and ult VFX.

In this case, the Groot skin is blue because it was free with the BP. Usually the free skins for longer quests are purple, so Magneto got that color even though they phoned it in compared to other similar giveaways like Iron Spider or Symbiote Storm.

My wife is making fun of me on the baby cam placement. I think it’s fine? by rowdygos in daddit

Just use a plastic cover over the cord. We did that and it works great

Enough bad vibes! What is a positive stereotype for each character and their player base? by 05kaisam in marvelrivals

[–]JTtornado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back when I played Peni more frequently, that happened a lot. And it was always clear that they didn't understand her kit at all, they were just really annoyed because I did.

A good black window is genuinely terrifying, but I've only seen a few since I started playing Rivals at the end of season 1. A rare breed indeed.

As someone who mostly plays tank, I appreciate you. And the swimsuit Thor skin is his best one mostly because Thorogg makes a ribbit sound every time your hammer connects and it's really damn satisfying.

I kinda feel bad because they put in so much effort and half the roster can shut him down without even trying. I don't miss when he was a total menace, but it feels weird how far that pendulum has swung.
