I never even signed up for Twitter.

The modern internet makes me want to live in a cave and grow moss.

I’ve seen what chemo does to young, healthy people. Joe ain’t that.

Man, remember when people used to break into offices to steal the RAM?

My work experience in around 1995 was spent at a local computer firm.

At one point a group of men in balaclavas showed up, the boss stopped playing Doom long enough to cover the security camera and hand over a bunch of crumpled banknotes, and I was handed this pile of SIMMs to put in a test rig to make sure they were OK to sell.

I also had to straighten the pins on used/stolen 486 CPUs, and pretty sure at one point was taken to break into a warehouse. There was certainly nobody else in the whole building, and we loaded the van with a bunch of cheap looking boxes before taking them back to HQ.

The boss was also banging a girl in my class, which in later years I learned makes him a paedo. Times sure were simpler in 1995.

Yeah, but who can afford one of those?

Bombs to blow up brown kids won’t just buy themselves you know.

Not even my smoke alarm singing the song of it’s people at 4am changed that.

Turns out they expire after a number of years and detect smoke all the time. Certainly an exciting start to the day.

Not the best advert for MS’s AI products, is it?

A beans doughnut looks mint, ngl. I’d expect to see it in Gregg’s.

I did all the fixer missions in Cyberpunk and honestly wish I hadn’t bothered.

It destroyed the pacing completely, and did nothing but waste my time. Like sure, they’re not automatically generated or anything, but they don’t add anything to the game experience.

The same goes for pretty much every open world game that isn’t designed around actual exploration. If your map is a sea of icons, your open world game isn’t that.

I knew a guy so ghetto he got his first name as his Xbox Live Gamertag.

Do you also rate books by the number of pages?

This attitude here is what has fucked up gaming more than any greedy publisher ever did.

Unfortunately all the wanna-be Pol Pots out there also consider themselves to be leftists.

I would have thought it would be a client side patch rather than server side, but surely it’s a case of taking whatever Proton is changing out of the machine “fingerprint” when generating it on a Steam Deck. There’s plenty of other things they can use to identify a machine.

You’d think so, but a never ending stream of people continue to sit there glued to their phones through content and adverts alike.

We’re probably already at the Demolition Man point of having a station just for adverts.

I see the contest to find the world’s biggest cunt continues unabated.

What will they think of next week?

Steam deck is a thing now.

Whine at the developer and Valve. They will whine at Denuvo. Chances are it’s something Denuvo haven’t checked for and can fix quite easily.

Especially on a “Steam Deck Verified” game.

Jellyfin does all that and more.

We’re no longer in the days of competing with a USB stick and hoping the TV will play whatever format it’s in, or using VLC and a laptop.

They don’t even show you ratings for the stuff, because they want you to waste your time watching the junk tier shit they can still afford.

Can it be triggered from a browser?

Because if not, it’s another non-issue issue for most people.

I think after the last round of exploits, most of the browser makers made timers deliberately inaccurate enough to prevent it being used.

It’s about the only affordable gaming PC right now.

As an added bonus, maybe devs will keep targeting lower end hardware because of it.

I’m assuming they’re all desperately trying to avoid Sony’s layout, even though it’s the best.

It’s like people only do these things because they can get paid. And that’s just really sad.
