Yeahhh I remember we had this dying tomato plant in the garden but for some reason I was attached to it, and I told my mom she didn’t need to replace it and it would get better on its own. And then I went back to the garden later and it looked really healthy, good as new!

Funny, I just watched a YouTube video about this guy and his cats. Seems like while he was a sweet guy he was probably lying about his cats age. Like, he claimed to have the pedigree papers but never actually showed them to anyone? And then after the cat died he said “oh my bad I told you guys the wrong age, he was actually [record setting age] the whole time”

You’re getting apples for 10 cents a pound at a grocery store?! Nah there can’t be right

We’ll see I suppose. I will add, though, that exclusive games absolutely do drive people to Xbox or Playstation (or Nintendo). Not a deal-breaker for most people, but a factor for some people.

Part of that is probably all his apps got nuked?

Nah I still don’t get it. Windows PC gamers don’t have to think about compatibility at all right now - every major game release is compatible with windows, apart from some Nintendo exclusives. You dont even have to think about it - when a new game is announced I know I will be able to play it on Windows without jumping through any hoops. Even if it’s a simple check mark for every game it’s still more work, and many games are gonna be blocked because of anti-cheat.

I also think that very few casual phone/tablet gamers are going to be purchasing a dedicated Linux gaming machine that isn’t a daily driver computer. Heck, most Americans don’t even have a desktop nowadays. I don’t think there’s a price out for the steam machine yet but we’re talking over $1000 right? Probably more like $1500 once you factor in peripherals? That’s a TON of money for a casual tablet/phone gamer to drop on something that they won’t also be using as a regular computer.

I guess, but anyone buying a steam machine is gonna have to research the specs anyways, and more exhaustively, check to see if every game they like is supported. I get why open-source enthusiasts are excited about this project and I am to, but in my opinion the cross-section of people who a) aren’t willing to build their own PC or even research different options and b) are willing to daily drive Linux are pretty slim. Especially when they find out they can’t play BF6.

Yes and no, if you don’t feel like doing a bunch of research pcpartspicker and reddit have all kinds of recommended PC builds at every budget level. You can also pay people to just build a PC for you. Also… pre-built gaming PCs have always been a thing? So I don’t really see the hype tbh.

But can it provide emotional support as well?!

Depends what you mean by “upper end”, but already 64GB is running for over $600. And it’s almost certainly going to get worse. I wouldn’t be stunned if 32GB tops out at close to $1000 next year.

I’m not defending a lot of America’s actions rn but no shot they are a bigger aggressor than Russia, who is literally in the middle of a full-scale land invasion to annex their neighbor.

Well, in theory it’s the responsibility of the banks to not make bad loans. If private equity passes on their debt to the company they bought, and then that company goes bankrupt and the private equity walks away free, that’s still the bank’s problem and they’re gonna lose a lot of money. Of course the problem is banks have a pretty bad track record about being disciplined with their loans.

“You have insufficient funds available on your payment method for an additional flip.”

Nah it works out the exact same. Say you make $10 every time you sell a $100 product. That means you have a 50/50 chance of either gaining $110 or losing $90. 110*0.5 + (-90)*0.5 = $10.

Lol Ploopy is real you know

Nah programs run fine on Linux - I just use CumSock emulator- it’s not officially compatible with Debian but you can install the flat pack with Ploopy. Make a few config changes and you’re off to the races!

Jesus christ that’s a cursed combination

Hmm really? I can’t say I’ve ever had sore abs after a non-ab-specific workout

I’ve heard most body builders don’t really do much for abs. If you have low body fat and do whole body exercises like squats, deadlifts, or even stuff like bench press they should pretty much take care of themselves.

Thanks! :)
