Honestly this world is ready for Vecna and I’ve got enough trauma in my past. Fuck it. Vecna come get me let’s open your gate man

I mean, calling it the “T800” just screams what they want it for. This world is so cooked

I can’t comment on aoe2 specifically but Halo Infinite (through steam) and Minecraft both use my Microsoft account just fine on Linux Mint.

Not wanting a cat doesn’t mean won’t care for a cat. I said no to another cat because I’m not prepared to care for it on top of everything else I’ve got going on.

This whole “didn’t want a cat but is secretly a softy” thing needs to die.

Parallels to The Expanse too

All my friends and I have felt this way for a few years now. My wife and I are planning to spend $200 total on Christmas and that’s including the dinner we’ll likely host for friends.

Halloween is fun and my wife and I get into it but it’s also becoming a very commercialized thing around us. Everyone buying the massive 12 ft skeletons and trying to outdo each other with the yard and giving out bigger and bigger treats. Someone was handing out full Doritos bags this year, not the single serve, we’re talking family size.

I think my wife and I are going to try getting into Mari Lwyd next year instead.

I do some volunteer work on localizing for Welsh and some Spanish. AI translations are hot garbage still even for the larger languages like Spanish. You can get a general idea of the intent most of the time, but that’s about it. It’s nowhere near good enough to replace humans with yet, definitely not good enough to overwrite what they’ve already translated.

Of course a sheep cheese philistine would argue in the comments. Get on the Llama cheese level

If AI can do your job in minutes you’re either: A fool pumping out AI slop someone else has to fix and you don’t realize it.

Or

Doing a job that really shouldn’t exist.

LLMs can’t do more than shove out a watered down average of things it’s seen before. It can’t really solve problems, it can’t think, all it can do is regurgitate what it’s seen before. Not exactly conducive to quality.

My buddy and I weren’t doing so hot last year and used Halo Infinite as our therapy. Pretty sure both of us alternated between being called a bot and a cheater every other match. It’s amazing sometimes just how bad you can do and still be called a cheater. (High plat to low diamond lobbies, we weren’t amazing)

Yeah, I feel like what you’re asking for would have to be a more holistic thing, like the concept of rates of change could be covered in physics quite naturally alongside momentum/impulse.

I have a math minor so have taken through calc 3, abstract algebra, and quite a bit of matrix math. Like 90% of concepts from those classes wouldn’t really help people in the world around them, not just “they won’t use integrals daily” but rather they won’t be taught in a way where they’ll connect differentials to what they see in the world or news.

Now, Finland, they have the right idea. They’re teaching classes on spotting disinformation and how to find trustable answers. That seems way more important to me and likely to have a higher impact.

And remember folks, it doesn’t have to be everything all at once if that’s too much for you. Just start, and work further as you can

normally I still see $75 but in some areas around me known for gas guzzlers I do see $150 for the pre-auth. It almost always clears by the next morning but I’ve seen it take up to 3 days before during road trips (I suspect because I almost never travel it gets flagged for internal manual review but no real idea)

Alright, I’m on Linux Mint. Steps I took:

1. Downloaded version 0.8.2 c
2. Right clicked and chose “Extract Here”
3. In steam added non steam game (chose VotV.exe)
4. Right clicked game in library
5. Properties
6. Compatibility
7. Checked Force the Use of specific compatibility
8. Chose Proton 9.0-4
9. Closed window
10. Clicked play
11. When the popup saying “following component(s) are required” I clicked install c++ runtime <- This will install it only for this game, my understanding is steam using a prefix for every game and this will install it for this game’s prefix
12. Let it install (just yes through the checkboxes, I changed none of the settings)

Ran perfectly fine after that (well, I spent five seconds in the tutorial after “rendering icons” took like five minutes). I believe ProtonTricks has a branch somewhere that can be used to somewhat more manually install things to non-steam games in your library, but I’ve not gone looking for it.

I will say I thought you were talking about a steam game since you mentioned proton and this is an article about proton. For non steam games a lot of people prefer to use Lutris, I’ve never used it so I can’t speak to anything about it. You could also use winetricks to install vcrun2022 (the c++ runtime that it’s asking for) and then just use wine to run the game but that feels weird in this day and age.

Sorry, that’s all I got

I know exactly what you’re talking about and it’s why I don’t eat popcorn.

It matters because he’s tried to overturn pardons from Biden for the exact same thing. It’s more of the “every accusation is a confession” and makes people suspect he doesn’t know what is going on

I second the therapy, did wonders having grown up in a very similar environment to you. You definitely need to find the right therapist as the others said. Took me three to find the right one and my wife is on her fifth (but has been with that therapist for a while now).

You need to know what you want out of the therapy and be clear about yourself and willing to do the work. And yes, avoid Christian counselors

My brother tried your approach, he got an exorcism as Satan was tempting him, lol.

Grew up in very similar hell. It’s way more common than people think but also not appropriate at all.

I’ve since completely cut off the toxic members of my family and never been happier.

Can you link the game? I caught the flu and so have a bit of spare time to debug. Just want to make sure I’m not looking at the wrong game
