Hot take but you’re right and you should say it. Being ‘anti-war’ is what has led to people to say that Ukraine should just give up and the US shouldn’t be aiding them in protecting themselves. Sometimes war is justified, though it should be minimized as much as possible

Uh funny timing but my desktop has been getting worse and worse recently until it just became unusable. Just opened it up to find that the liquid cooling for the CPU was leaking… I might have been neglecting my PC for a while. hopefully performance will be better once I get this fixed (and cleaned out)

Yeah I should probably add that it’s the 12-Core M2 Pro. I’m pretty close to the top of the line for MacBooks right now but I am still very impressed that it delivers. Not to mention how quiet the fans are; if they run at all.

Absolutely insane that it’s running better on my M2 MacBook than my 3070 desktop

To be fair, money would still be going to Rowling. She is probably the most vocal advocate against trans rights and she has been cited in policies that endanger the lives of trans people. I think that is a much more reasonable boycott than being upset about pronouns

Alright, thanks for the clarification! Honestly, I think both terms are misused all the time and I have just stopped caring about it.

Nah, ‘open beta’ was the term for a long time; early access is a newer thing.

Is it just me or is act 3 performance somehow worse?

How can we call our system a democracy when one unelected man can hold so much power?

I think what it comes down to is how much you enjoy the freedom of the games. A lot of their games kinda just let you loose with a story that you can build over the course of the game, whereas New Vegas has a goal in mind that it is constantly pushing you towards.

Again, I don’t think either preference is better than the other. I just think they are two very different play styles that are suited for different experiences.

It sounds like you’re a fan of Bethesda games so I think this game will definitely be great for you.

Personally, I’ve really struggled to enjoy their games because they just feel a bit shallow for reasons that I can’t explain. They just don’t engage me at all. New Vegas was the only one that I completed and I think that is likely due to a difference in game design that I enjoy more.

I want to like Starfield and I will give it a try when it comes out, but I’m just worried it will leave me with an empty feeling like their other games do.

You’ve gone back too far! I meant mid to late aughts (2005-2010)

It’s because a lot of people here are people who miss the earlier days of the internet and are trying to recreate that feeling. I’m not that old but it’s got me feeling nostalgic so I enjoy it

it’s what the banner says in the image you posted

lmao fuck tankies

I agree with you but I’m just gonna say with basic regex (hell, even without regex) you can easily find bad words without the problem you mentioned above.

Word filters tend to suck in online games and stuff because they have to navigate players trying to avoid the filter, which I think could still be improved with a little effort

Good. Make room for a real dem

You are talking about different things. Using the native OS you can have infinite windows at any size, but if you are duplicating your desktop view from your Mac then you are limited to a fixed-density single screen

Considering that the right-wing memed Trump into office, I think it is only fitting that memes are what destroy them

So the president can just do whatever they want with no consequences at all?
