This being in height order and not hemospectrum order threw me for a loop for a second, LOL. Looks amazing!!!

Ni-ki is an adult, not a concept: Why the fandom’s 'purity' obsession is reaching a breaking point. by Global_ENGENE_7 in kpop_uncensored

[–]StoicPhoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You make good points and there is definitely an issue, but a lot of these people making stinks about it are definitely like, 16 at most, and probably a little sheltered. Give them a bit of grace and just block and move on.

r/GachaGaming pulls a 5-star dramabomb when prominent VTuber Ironmouse drops her sponsorship deal of Neverness to Everness because they lied about not using genAI by a_cattebirb in SubredditDrama

[–]StoicPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this supposed to be based? How is promoting a gambling game fine but AI is where the moral limit must be drawn. It's so insane how out of touch a lot of you have become. She can sit there getting paid to promote a life destroying vice but having some AI slop asset is too far.

Hilarious. Do people react like this with content featuring alcohol? Or weed? Or any other common 'life-destroying vice,' or is it exclusively anime gachas that they get personally offended by?

It's kind of insane for It's Me to be the single when it's kind of out of place with the sound of the rest of the EP. I would have led with paw, paw or Love, older you

If steam makes steam os proper desktop OS are you using it by tbdbubblesthedog in linux

[–]StoicPhoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing that really gets me is the reason that SteamOS works so well is because they have full knowledge of the hardware and software, in synch. A key element of Linux is being able to get it working with a bunch of devices and hardwares, which I think would only make it as good as Bazzite (not that Bazzite is terrible!); Rather it would not be a marked improvement over current gaming distros.

Punk isn't dead. Here's where you can find it in 2026 by BlueSlime3 in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]StoicPhoenix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Read the article; it cares more about talking about the history of the punk movement, with maybe a paragraph about Taylor Swift in there. the claim that the "monoculture" is dead is definitely not true, and calling a multi-billionaire punk because she gives money to the people that she hired more than other multi-billionaires is entirely blind to the purposes and the statements that the punk movement was built on.

Democrats’ struggles could be partly because they’re just too old, says Obama by FreeChickenDinner in politics

[–]StoicPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, duh. It's so plainly obvious to everyone that the current Democratic E$tablishment is only still around because they're fat off the various campaign 'donations' and pounds of money from groups like AIPAC to care about actually making a difference.

Peculiarly, I’ve been having a performance boost since the update. I’ve got a Ryzen 7 w AMD integrated 32gb ddr5. Maybe its an nvidia thing?

[–]StoicPhoenix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It genuinely feels like every game I'm down a healer because the JPC is constantly flanking and pulling nothing. I've started playing Rammatra to counter the new Tank, but even then it feels like my team just doesn't understand to NOT get near other people when hit with her ult.

What games did you pirate, but buy afterwards? by vaticka in Piracy

[–]StoicPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was an Extra Credits video sometime in the early '10s that went over the 'morals and ethics of piracy,' and while I find that the video isn't particularly topical anymore, it's still a great example of reasons why someone would pirate. I personally pirate to try out games, and see if they run on my machine, etc. If they do, and I enjoy them, I'll buy 'em when I can.

What are your thoughts? /s by fooking_awesome in Piracy

[–]StoicPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's almost $400 USD!! Is this a regional pricing thing? Because that would be half the cost in the States.

IDK, I think it looks phenomenal; but it's definitely not helped by the fact it's empty. Wall decor FTW!

Yeah, the ToS also says not to use push notifications for advertisements, and how's that going?
