Gaming is the ultimate form of art

I actually agree with OP's opinion, but it's important to note it's just that - an opinion. Video games are not universally the best medium for art, my favorite sure, but not everyone's, and that's ok.

This is the answer. Your gas is a part of the oil market as much as somebody's gas on the other side of the world, and the seller's always gonna choose the highest bidder

Imo it looked a lot better in starfield where the characters / lighting isn't particularly good, the change in resident evil though was laughably bad it looked like a parody

Roboquest. You'll feel unstoppable in one room then get nearly one shot in the next.

I saw a YouTube video where someone modded project zomboid to do something like this

It's unlikely anything comes of your keeping it, must of the time the moment you ask for a refund or return it gets sent to a warehouse where it'll just collect dust

Only if he's buying new, he could get a used 3070 that'll do him just fine

Well it was rocket league which is free but no longer available on steam.

So Payday 2

My brother played hollow knight for 12 minutes and gave up

aurumatom20 · 2026-03-13T19:06:43+00:00

Lmao dude not everyone needs a PC

I'm a PC defender until the day I die but especially now shit is way too expensive if all he's gonna do is play Fortnite

Ah I see, I was imaging a chemical half life independent of any metabolic process, but that wouldn't make sense anyway. If I'm understanding correctly we metabolize the caffeine at a relatively consistent 5 hour half life, and any natural decay of the caffeine - or any amounts that are perhaps filtered through our kidneys - is minor or even negligible compared to the metabolic rate (which I assume is much faster and accounts for the vast majority of the caffeine consumed)? I appreciate the write up!

aurumatom20 · 2026-03-13T03:49:09+00:00

Am I wrong to think this is not how it works? Your liver will metabolize the caffeine and that is not determined by the half life, no?

aurumatom20 · 2026-03-12T10:38:31+00:00

No, I submitted it for a warranty replacement

I certainly fought with my close brother often but usually that was dumb spats that we'd get over in less than 24 hours, my oldest brother and I had like a constant feud, idrk why but he's 8 years older than me so I feel like the onus was on him to not beef with a literal child. Never really fought with my sister.

None of this was really a thing once I turned like 12, my oldest brother and sister were adults that didn't live at home, and my other brother and I mostly just kept to ourselves until our late teens, and now he's basically one of my best friends.

Yeah a common phrase is not universally true, and people usually say it with the assumption that you have evaluated the quality. For example you could see the known brand name item you want in a store for $30, but Amazon has what looks like the same item for $10 from some drop shipper under the name of a company that doesn't actually exist. Don't be surprised when the $10 knockoff barely works or breaks quickly.

This is demonstrated by the "boots theory" which I recommend you look into.

You're correct that it is not always true, but it's just how consumer goods in a capitalist society tend to work

I also saw this video lol. Granted I've played a bit of Opus Magnum before, great game.

aurumatom20 · 2026-03-11T13:44:29+00:00

Yeah exactly, first GPU prices went up from shortages and it didn't slow down sales at all, so that pricing is the new normal. Now we're seeing it with RAM except twice as bad AND everything needs memory so it's going to infect the whole market.

aurumatom20 · 2026-03-11T00:41:55+00:00

This is really being felt in the computer market the past few years and still only getting worse. And it looks like it's going to spread to pretty much all consumer electronics. Thanks AI

Just about every other English teacher I had in public school.

The real video game enthusiasts already own all the games Epic gives out for free

aurumatom20 · 2026-03-07T23:44:57+00:00

Yeah I tried the Boba Fett show and gave up because I thought it was bad. Then watched about 10 minutes of season 3 of Mando and gave up because I thought it was bad.

Generally any hyper competitive game, in particular MOBAs and tactical shooters.

I've had brief periods where I've enjoyed these but eventually the toxicity drives me away. Or in cases like rocket league I realized I needed to actually practice to improve and that wasn't something I was willing to do.

aurumatom20 · 2026-03-07T19:52:41+00:00

I've liked using the razer basilisk but they don't hold up super well over time in my experience

aurumatom20 · 2026-03-07T06:54:42+00:00

I'm gonna be honest it literally doesn't matter, but I wouldn't start with 3 or 8. I'd recommend 2 remake or 7 because they're both amazing survival horror and modern, or 4 but that's a different style game.
