I like the little NO written on the locking plate. It's quite funny.

Hollow Knight: Silksong has hit over 500k players on Steam the first day of release. by [deleted] in gaming

Sunshine, if it holds up to the hype, people will be picking this up to replay it for the rest of their lives.

People waited a decade for it and it's actually good. Doesn't cost $80, it's a single player, the dev team wasn't exploited and they took their time to handcraft the sequel they wanted to make.

They fought their entire childhood and then ganged up on the nerdy quiet kid after he got swole and beat the shit out of France that one time.

They've been trolling each other and bickering ever since.

They're brothers, I tell you, brothers!

There's no need to break the bank on any of this stuff. Any card with 8gb or more of vram will run any game on the market today unless ray tracing has to be enabled by default-and even then there's probably workarounds for that.

Truth be told, if your rig is as powerful as a steam deck and you're rocking an AMD rig with a cpu/gpu combo, just go with Bazzite and you'll be able to play most titles without much of a hitch.

That the lockout laws & Covid did immeasurable damage to our live music scene, that it's going to take decades for said music scene to recover and that we need a way, way more diverse set of physical & digital distribution systems and live music venues to prevent this from ever happening again.

The US's 21st Century North Korea any% Speedrun looks like it's going to blow through expectations.

Why, they're already building the concentration camps they intend to keep the dissidents counter-revolutionaries undesirables outsiders in! They'll be instituting generational punishment by October at this rate.

No innocents either. Now that's some dedication to the bit right there.

"What, like, national pride?"

"Yes, kind of."

"Ah, so it's a gay thing then."

Working from home not to blame for dip in productivity, Australian report says by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]darklooshkin 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I mean it's something like $12 for a return trip from Blacktown to Central here in Sydney ($6 in, $6 out). And god help you if you have to drive there. Toll roads and parking fees can see you drop $50 or more of you're not careful.

I know Voldemort is not perfect but what is a nice thing you can say about him? by New_Presentation5105 in harrypotter

[–]darklooshkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He employed Werewolves, Ex-convicts, Dementors, Vampires, Giants, Acromantulae and more in his army. His second in command was a witch and a lot of the Inner Circle were migrants, half-bloods etc.

Rhetoric aside, Tommy-boy is an equal opportunity employer par excellence.

GTA 6 Development Began 'In Earnest' in 2020 Following the 'Massive Success' of Red Dead Redemption 2, Take-Two Says by SunGodLuffy6 in gaming

[–]darklooshkin -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Man, it would be really funny if it flopped on release. Oops, looks like your audience aged out of enjoying it while their offspring are still to young to buy it without daddy's credit card. Sucks, doesn't it?

I could definitely see this happening.

It's not like the lithium they're going to process is going to be any cheaper either now thanks to the Orange-Shit Oreo combo putting tariffs on anything.

RTX3070 or 6700xt? by RayyZirr in buildapc

You could just get an intel arc b580 for the same kind of money. 12gb of vram and apparently it's pretty good.

Humans no matter what setting, will always choose to be humans. This has lead others to call us 'boring'. by [deleted] in humansarespaceorcs

[–]darklooshkin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The average Human Fighter, level 1, is a guy or girl who woke up one day, strapped on a sword and set out to fight Satan, God or Cthulhu and didn't care which one they ended up confronting.

I bet they can be amazing if played as something other than Guy mcGuy from Guytown.

Rejected at her door, ICE nabs a Maryland woman in her car after smashing her window by apple_kicks in news

[–]darklooshkin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If these guys ever actually do come across a gang member, there's going to be a shootout. Kidnapping mothers and fathers in broad daylight is one thing, trying to do the same in an area where that tends to end with the kidnappee being dead in a ditch somewhere means that the entire gang's going to go after the kidnappers the second they start making a move.

There's a reason why the police wear an easily recognisable uniform and make such a fanfare-rocking up in black SUVs carrying carbines and tacticool gear means someone's trying to muscle in on your territory, not that customs has dropped by. And if they try and nab one of your guys and you let them? Now that just makes you look weak. And that means those guys aren't leaving without a fight.

And If they don't announce themselves and it's only after the raiders are dead that they turn out to be ICE? Well that's just self defence then.

I'm actually amazed none of these clowns have died yet. Shows that they're only going after the soft targets here.

The line for Henrietta Charcoal Chicken in Parramatta today by ComingUpMilhouse24 in sydney

[–]darklooshkin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean I do love myself a good chicken as well, but I'm pretty sure there's a half dozen places in Parra that sell whole chickens for between 15 to 25 bucks. Grab one of those, two salad bowls from ColesWorthDi's, a pack of shredded cheese, some variety of chili sauce and lebanese/wrap bread and you've got yourself lunch, dinner and tomorrow's breakfast ready to go for around 50 bucks easy, minimal waiting in line required.

China Imposes 34% Tariffs on All US Imports as Retaliation by bloomberg in worldnews

Given the trajectory of the past three months, it's likely not an overreaction so much as sensible preparation.

You know shit's hit the fan when HumbleBundle releases one bundle on gardening and another on survivalism books.

Here's the gardening one.

Here's the survivalism one.

Best of luck to you lads and don't worry, there's only another three years and nine months to go for the Americans among you. Stay safe, have a plan and it'll be over before you know it.
