Lol, lmfao…rofl even.

As someone who identifies as an Anarcho-Syndaclist, I’d kindly ask you not to lump Anarchists in with the Marxist-Leninists. Historically, Anarchists usually get fucked over by MLs just as frequently, if not more so, as by capitalists.
Every Anarchist I’ve had interactions with here has been either pretty vocal about opposition to the political and moral leanings of the people you’re referring to, or think anarchist sounds better than Marxist-Leninist, but actually hold to the ideals of the latter not the former.

👍Cheers

Right? Like…dude… you’re 90% there…just finish the job ffs

I’m sorry, but isn’t that where bodies are meant to be? A graveyard?

I know, shitty jokes, no caffeine yet.

As a man in the trades, absolutely. I do my best to encourage women of any age to learn a skilled trade. There’s still a bit of a “boys club” sentiment, thankfully it’s starting to die out. There’s not enough people interested in doing the hard work involved in the trades to keep the skills going, even the sexists can’t afford to keep women out.
I have absolutely no issues working next to anyone, regardless of where they are on the gender/sexuality spectrums, all I ask is that they do their share and not be a douche-cannoe.
Maybe unsurprisingly the only 2 asks I have are too much for a lot of people.

Marathon released on Steam [Very Positive review] [kernel anticheat] [SteamDeck unsupported]

Don’t need that last bit, kernel anticheat makes it defacto unplayable on the Deck… unless you happen to be one of those heathens who installed windows on their Deck…then you can play it…

Cheat in single player all you like, but people who cheat in multiplayer are bad people and should feel bad about their choices. have been beaten more as children.

FTFY

Yeah, piracy is shown to actually boost sales for the most part. Not everyone who pirates refuses to spend money on games/media at all. And with game demos not really being a thing in the AA/AAA/AAAAAAAAAAAAAA game space, often it makes more sense to pirate it, see if you actually like it, and buy it if you enjoy it enough to actually pay.
And it’s the same argument as when the Harry Potter game was free on Epic, I refused to add it to my library at all. Even with people saying “Epic payed them a flat rate, so they get the same amount if no one gets it or everyone does!”… adding it to your library still ticks up their “sales” figures, and I’ll be fucked if I support that heinous waste of air JKR in any way shape or form.

Metal Garden is short but really good 👍

I mean, that’s pretty sweet!

It’s like me and lotto tickets. If I buy one, I lose every time. If someone buys me one I win either a free play or the value of the ticket…then lose on the free play

I’m not really a gambler either. I’ve been to the casino a few times in my 20s with friends, but either for one of their birthdays or they were celebrating something. I only ever brought like $50 to drink with and another $50 to play with, knowing full well the most enjoyment of that hundo I was getting was the beers.

I did however win exactly once. Turned my last $10 of the 50 into $900. And that was also the last time I ever gambled.

He just makes his undeserved amount of money without also actively trying to make everything worse using the undeserved and frankly harmful political power that amount of money grants.

Exactly! Where does that get him? Probably to the end of the line if we can ever get the guillotines going again.

Nothing personally against him, except that no one should have that much money. He’s not doing anything harmful to society beyond being entirely too wealthy.

He’s an accountant now, so I assume he learned an important lesson about gambling that day.

Or it fully broke his spirit…

I’m sure there are a few others

Civil Forfeiture.

with its $3.7 billion earned this quarter

So that’s what…7 flagship GPUs?

It’s really good, not sure it’s really the same as an mmorpg…100% worth buying though.

Been playing it on and off for a few years now, definitely recommend at least trying out the demo. It’s pretty unique.

Incredibly competitive pricing too.

£19.99 for base.
£23.99 for the deluxe.

I would suggest getting a PS2, and a network adaptor. You can get modern replicas that have a SATA connector, the original is IDE. Plop a hard drive in, and moding PS2 is incredibly easy. Just in case you want to play with actual hardware.

Idk, before the current bubble-fuckery I still know/spoke to a good portion of gamers who were strictly console. They grew up with consoles, and their perception is very much that it’s too expensive to get into PC gaming. And I mean…I get it. I’m still rocking my 1060 on my desktop, even before the ram shit I wouldn’t be able to afford to upgrade to modern hardware.
It’s definitely all the ancillary costs to consoles that people are kinda trained to not think about. PS+ started on the PS3 and was a nice bonus for people who weren’t fussed about paying extra for more stuff that wasn’t required. Over the years it went from a non-essential extra to mandatory to access all the functions of a console you “own”.
It’s the tendency to extract as much money as possible, and if you go slow enough then there’s only minimal kickback from the consumers.

My wife and I have been trying to rein in our spending, get ourselves into a stable space and get proper savings going.

… that’s literally the only thing that stopped me from pledging on the patreon and begging for access to the alpha testing…I am so so so soooooo psyched for it! And those graphics… fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck 🥵 PS2 crusty enough to bring back memories of great games from my youth, but with a bit of extra that shows it’s an intentional choice. Like yeah, it looks like they’re all cubist renditions of people…but then there’s volumetric fog, and systems for how windy interacts with individual leaves on the trees…
