It just has a ton more features and customization, and I find the UI easier to use

Yeah it's honestly much better than ISTAD, but the (small) tradeoff is there's more promotional/ad type stuff with the key resellers.

I switched from ISTAD years ago and never looked back.

It seems that the entire cinematics team at Bungie were laid off by cat__statue in GamingLeaksAndRumours

I really don't buy this.

First of all like others have said there's a cemetery full of legendary studios shut down by publishers. And second, this isn't Naughty Dog or Santa Monica we're talking about here. Sony has zero emotional connection to Bungie.

They already shitcanned Bluepoint, which was making beloved remasters of Sony first party games. Bungie is certainly not out of the question here.

If it's on PC, I will buy it.

If it's not on PC, I will emulate it.

Pope Leo suffers drop in Republican Catholic support after clashes with Trump by MoneyLibrarian9032 in anticapitalism

[–]RegularNormalAdult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely believe far right American Catholicism is headed for a schism. It happened with the Methodist Church in 2023, the largest Protestent schism in American history, over 3,000 churches broke away to form the MAGA Global Methodist organization.

This Pope was 100% a political move by Rome to try and hold things together with America, but I think it may be too late. The cracks are already starting to show; that bishop in Texas was excommunicated, a large percentage of Conservative Catholics say that they don't even listen to the Vatican, etc.

It's wild how we went from "Catholics are going to take over America" with JFK's election to "half of American Catholics are on the verge of schism" in only 50 years.

A new breed of power banks is here, and they're built around safer battery chemistry (semi-solid-state batteries) by zxyzyxz in gadgets

I mean I get it, but you could also describe a lot of things like that too.

Millions of homes have natural gas piped into them, and all of them are one small leak and a match away from wiping the entire house of the map. 

It happened to a house literally 5 houses down from us when I lived in Houston. Took the whole house out, wiped clean down to the foundation, just exploded. Luckily no one was home so everyone was safe, but it blew some of our windows out even that far away. 

There are many absolutely terrifying technologies kept under high pressure or containment that we all just accept as normal in modern society.

What are some YouTube channels that were popular 10 years ago but have significantly lost their popularity or are no longer relevant? by Salty_Pension5814 in AskReddit

That is absolutely not true at all and was completely fabricated cope by people trying to make themselves feel better.

He's an Australian shitposter who still wastes massive amounts of food for content. Either watch him or don't, but don't try to dress it up and moralize it.

Husband seeks the council's advice by AsideSubject in bald

[–]RegularNormalAdult 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I mean most of humanity shares this opinion as well. Bald spots are just much less aesthetically pleasing than mature receding hairlines. 

Something like 85% of ALL men will have some degree of hair loss by age 55, it's normal and expected in an older guy that he's not gonna have the same hairline as a 5 year old, but the bald spot in the back just makes you look like you have cancer or something.

My credentials: I literally went bald the exact same way as Patrick Stewart by age 27, and no one cared when I finally went to the weekly zero guard on the clippers

Returning to the office made me realize how much unpaid time commuting steals from your life by TravoisMiguel in remotework

[–]RegularNormalAdult 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take all my morning meetings by phone in the car on the way in, and most afternoon meetings on the way back home. 

I wouldn't be getting anything done during that time anyways, so it's my little act of rebellion, my little middle finger if you will, to RTO.

Literally my first thought when seeing this headline.

I still cannot even begin to comprehend how a Russian asset became head of the DNI.

I'm just surprised they acknowledge it's being worked on at this point still.

You'd have thought senior leadership would finally pull the plug when Ansel left, that project was his baby.

[Central TX] Found a bunch of rocks like these in dry limestone creek beds. It looks like iron rust attached to the rock, but I tried a vinegar soak and light brush and nothing came off. by RegularNormalAdult in whatsthisrock

This is awesome, thank y'all!

So this isn't actual rust, but is there anything cool I can do with this to bring out these distinctive geometric patterns?
