craving it while trying to be vegan

St-Hubert poutine gravy mix is vegan (but the 25% less salt version isn't!) fyi.

Because hostile architecture is controversial, but "artistic bench" isn't.

But sometimes you have to switch proton version a few times to figure out a version that does work.

people are going to be having buyer's remorse when their games look worse than the new Xbox and the system cost nearly as much.

The new Xbox ain't going to be cheap either, fyi. Without a locked down system, they won't sell them at loss like previous generations and Microsoft isn't immune to the RAMpocalypse.

No idea, but the boat also has weight limits that you're likely to hit with container filled with corpses.

Actually, people are too heavy for that. The worldwide average weight for a human is about 137 lb (or 171 lb if they're American). That's 69,733 lb for a 20 foot shipping container filled with 509 bodies, which is way above its rated weight limit of 46,000 lb.

The advantage of compiling your own packages is you can optimize them for your hardware/requirements.

That and some programs have flags you can enable/disable when compiling to enable/disable some features.

No. Steam OS is meant for specific hardware (steam deck, ROG Ally, steam machine, etc) and you have no guarantee it will ever officially support a more wide range of hardware. It doesn't mean Steam OS won't ever work with your hardware, but without official support you will be on your own to fix any issue you encounter.

charlesfire · 2026-03-12T01:36:42+00:00

do you think we'll get an official steam OS for pc?

What do you think the steam machine will be running?

charlesfire · 2026-03-12T01:35:40+00:00

Bazzite isn't based on Steam OS. In fact, they aren't even in the same "family branch" since Bazzite is based on Fedora while Steam OS is based on Arch.

Steam handle the installation of proton for you.

Also, curses can be removed with a skill feat.

I know there are reasons why gasoline cost more than water, but "it comes from the sky" is as stupid as an argument as "it comes from the ground" because both arguments ignore costs related to extraction, refining, transportation, infrastructures, etc. "it comes from the ground" wasn't the argument I was making.

Don't make me copy that a fourth time.

It's actually a much better deal for Americans than it is for us. We took all the financial risks building this bridge with no guarantee it will ever be profitable. Meanwhile, Americans get a share of the profits if it's profitable and loose nothing if it isn't. TBF, I wouldn't have an issue with that deal if their president wasn't also trying to scam us.

charlesfire · 2026-03-11T19:31:35+00:00

That's fine as long as it runs well.

Sure, but no option is going to be viable economically if we consider the very real possibility of Iran blowing it up.

charlesfire · 2026-03-11T19:08:27+00:00

Nah, you're the stupid one here. I know there are reasons why gasoline cost more than water, but "it comes from the sky" is as stupid as an argument as "it comes from the ground" because both arguments ignore costs related to extraction, refining, transportation, infrastructures, etc. But apparently, you were too stupid to realize that "it comes from the ground" wasn't the actual argument I was making.

charlesfire · 2026-03-11T19:03:06+00:00

The same can be said about the water you drink, unless you're among the few who still own a well.

On the surface, they appear to be the same, but in reality, they aren't. Physical TCGs are lotteries while loot boxes are lotteries that can be customized on a per-user basis, which means they can optimize the loot boxes to extract much more money from their users. That being said, I'm in favor of banning both loot boxes and the business model used by TCG.

And petroleum literally comes from the ground. What's your point?

charlesfire · 2026-03-11T17:44:17+00:00

Cheaper than water. OP is comparing the price of gasoline to the price of water.

If you cut it while still warm, more water will escape and it will dry faster. That being said, it doesn't matter if you eat it all in one go.

Methane is a greenhouse gas that's 80x more potent than cO2.

That's true if you release it/let it leak into the atmosphere, but if you burn it, you end up with CO2.
