Elon Musk Now Wants to Charge ALL Users For Twitter
  • Luckily, Elmo already doesn't know a whole fuckton of stuff.
    Probably proud of it too.

  • Armin Shimerman and Terry Farrell Join the "Delta Flyers" Podcast for "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" Rewatch
  • I've tried hard to get into this podcast, but in the end I just couldn't (lasted about 20 episodes).
    This is coming from someone who does an annual rewatch of all the trek series.

    Mcneil just sounds permanently bored with it, and Wang tries very hard to sell it but just gives off car salesman vibes the whole time.
    It feels soul-less and unenthusiastic, a product they're selling, with A LOT of content locked behind a "paywall".
    Real shame. Harry and Tom were my some of my favorite Voyager characters.

    Here's hoping Shimerman and Farrel can improve the quality and feel.

  • Red Dead Redemption coming to Switch
  • The funny thing is that chronologically RDR 1 is set after RDR 2.

    That being said, you'll probably enjoy this one too.

  • 400% turnover rate
  • "promoted to product"

  • Pirating on Linux
  • Either something is wrong with your setup, or your hardware. Make sure that you're running the right drivers and that you aren't accidentally running on your onboard graphics instead of your dedicated GPU.
    Check the general Linux gaming boards, and doublecheck by installing Steam and loading up something heavier from your library if you have any.

    Having just finished a DRM unencumbered version of Returnal by the excellent "LinuxRulez!" (linux repacks with all the trimmings) i can tell you that what you're experiencing isn't normal.

  • First setup in my own place
  • Love mine as well. Works perfectly in linux with freesync, and i've used it to finish off a lot of my Steam backlog.
    And 120hz at 5120x1440 will stress even the most beastly cards, so didn't feel like having to go for an even higher refresh rate one.
    Protip, putting the taskbar on the left/right side makes sure you don't waste a lot of pixels.

  • Photo Etiquette Rule
  • Slap a NSFW on your dik-dik pics please.

  • we will get there one day....
  • Let's try not to use gendered language.
    "Landbastard" is the preferred designation.

  • Descent (1994) Gets a Raytracing update
  • I'm Commander Sheppard, and this is my favorite comment in the Fediverse.

  • 3 AM rule :3
  • No clue why you'd think that was trolling? I'd never heard of that either.

    Thanks for explaining that it it stands for "Kill My Self".

  • Tennison waiting for me to throw 1/69 of a ball
  • And yours too! Not often that you come across another blue merle australian golden.

  • Tennison waiting for me to throw 1/69 of a ball
  • Hi Tennison, Willow would love to share a (part of a) ball with you!

  • Yuzu Progress Report - May 2023
  • Having finished ToTK on PC (and on Linux no less) using Yuzu, i have to give a big shoutout to the Yuzu team.
    They're doing fantastic work, and these reports are a very welcome touch (well and funnily written, and very informative)!

  • What is a technology growing up that when you saw it, it blew your mind?
  • Diskettes The computer I had loaded programs off tapes, and that was a pretty "involved" process taking anywhere from 5-20 minutes. Then we got an Atari 800XL with a disk drive, and not only did loading only take a little while, but you could also save to the disk without special workarounds.

    Flat panel displays The first computer LCD screens were small, not very impressive display quality wise, but they were SO THIN! They were making an image without the large back of a "traditional monitor". I'd vowed to own one one day. (turns out that CRT screens still beat them in some areas to this day...)

    Home broadband before about 2000, i had to sneak around a long telephone extension cord to be able to get online for at most a couple of hours. Then one day we got a message that they were rolling out this "broadband cable" thing, and my whole world just shifted. My machine was ALWAYS ONLINE. The internet was ALWAYS THERE. I could download things that used to take me minutes in just seconds. It blows my mind even today still.

    MP3/XVID/DIVX Suddenly my harddrive could fit whole songs and later whole movies...that coupled with the whole broadband thing opened up a whole new world of possibilities.

    SSD It'd used to be normal for a computer to take a couple of minutes to start up. Even when it was, doing more than a couple of intensive drive bandwith things could really bog it down to the point of being unusable. Then SSD's came along. They started as pretty small things (still have my 30gb OCZ drive somewhere), but they were so incredibly fast. Systems now started in seconds. Games in a fraction of the time. And everything just felt snappy all the time.

    It feels incredible to live through these times, where we take for granted that everything will always get better/smaller/faster during our lifetimes (hell, every year even) where that has never been the case at any point in history.
    And technology wise it'll never get any worse than it is right now. That's pretty goddamn neat.

  • What is a technology growing up that when you saw it, it blew your mind?
  • 650 MEGABYTE on some shiny plastic disk, when your harddrive was a whopping 40MB?
    Yeah that was pretty damn magical.

    Then a while later we could make our own, if the buffer underruns didn't turn your $10 empty into a coaster.

  • The only thing missing is the "this side towards enemy" sticker.

  • Which was your favorite console controller and why?
  • Fully agreed. The layout is just the best.
    With everything in reach, and the best potitioning of buttons, sticks, and the dpad of any controller out there. And that's not even mentioning added convenience of the touchpads.

    If they just copy the whole thing verbatim for the steam controller 2, it'll be a smash hit.
