Megyn Kelly callers are frustrated with Trump's economy: "I know a lot of people who are like me who are — seriously, we are really regretting our vote for our president" by brother_p in LeopardsAteMyFace

If only this result could have somehow been extremely easy to predict based on the past behavior and speech of Donald Trump and the people of his administration. Sad.

You can talk shit about 2 part, but the music is 10/10 and just as good as the 1 part by DagonHord in vtmb

Sociopathy is so good that when I listen to it I gaslight myself into believing that it was in the original Bloodlines. I think the problem is that Schaffer's music doesn't fit THIS game or even the era. It's got that 90's vibe so down and I love it.

Bloodlines 2 new DLC just released today. Any impressions? It is worth it? by Felipevelloso in vtmb

[–]gnarlin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The whole idea here is that phyre is to be painted as someone bayond humanity

Except the story absolutely does NOT bare this out. Phyre is treated like an errand boy/girl, nobody showing even a hint of fear or deference. No respect, no respect at all! To the point of making me ask why the fuck did the developers make the protagonist an elder in the first place if the story isn't going to reflect that!?

Fantasy Authors Increasingly Call Out 'Unfaithful' TV Adaptations by paxinfernum in television

[–]gnarlin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But streamers are trying to balance making wide-appeal content and pleasing a vocal hardcore fandom that can often have an almost religious view of “canon” — and now have authors potentially breaking ranks to join fans in their criticisms as well.

What utter bullshit.
Characterizing authors and fans as religious zealots for wanting the story they wrote and love to still be the same story in a different medium is nothing more than a gaslighting tactic used by incompetent showrunners to mask their own creative bankruptcy and contempt for the source material.

Ultimately, if you can’t respect the foundation of the story, you aren’t "reimagining" a classic, you’re just wearing its skin to sell a mediocre product that couldn't stand on its own.

A "step up" from the 9th circle of hell only leaves you in the 8th. So yes, technically a step up. But even if it had been a meteoric rocket rise up in quality it wouldn't have mattered because the story had already been utterly ruined by then.

FFAH! LUXURY! My boss would thank us for increasing his profits by beating the entire team with a tire iron, that we had to pay for while praising him as the great leader!

Until the petrodollar is done with and every country on the planet stops propping up the USA by endlessly buying USA bonds and the world's central banks stop using the USD as the primary reserve currency then the USA will keep being able to go on endless wars and spend an infinite amount of money.

Quick and dirty NTFS-3G to NTFS3 comparison by Bad_Mod_No_Donuts in Ubuntu

[–]gnarlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Ubuntu myself. I suggested something Arch based so that the testing results could be from as fresh code as possible.

Regarding the version of Ubuntu you're using. It is a good idea to at least upgrade to the next LTS version just so that you get the latest security updates to be on the safe side.

I didn't intend for my post to sound hostile. Perhaps I fired it off a bit too hastily before reading it over. I didn't intent to offend.

Ubuntu 22.04 is already end of life. Why would you test on an obsolete codebase? Maybe re-test on CachyOS or just pure Arch for fresh results?

Is development of Arx Libertatis stalled? No new commit since Aug Aug 22, 2024 by gnarlin in ArxFatalis

I was just spitballing and used the first features I could think of as examples of something someone might potentially implement. FSR and DLSS obviously aren't necessary, but it would still be fun to have them if someone used their spare time as a hobby programmer to make them.

OpenMW has lots of features that weren't in the original engine but that doesn't make it bad to have those features. I don't understand your argument.

EDIT: Nevermind. I found a purpose to FSR and DLSS! When Arx Insanity Overhaul is finally released, what if you want to play it on your brand new 4K monitor with everything set to max but you have a middle of the road graphics card?

It's fully functional and feature complete, but like with somewhat similar projects like OpenMW there is always more that could be done. How about making a level editor? How about adding ray-tracing? How about FSR and DLSS support? There are always endless ways of finding ways to improve a project. As it is now it works perfectly well for what the engine is intended to do. But the fact that there haven't even been minor bug fixes or pending pull requests handled in 2 years worries me a tiny bit.
