Deconceptualist

Yeah but like any successful politician he’ll readily compromise his principles in order to hold onto power.

Dare I ask, why? I mean obviously meth addicts aren’t known for their shrewd decisions in general, but is there some sensory or cognitive change in particular that compels them to put foreign objects in their butts more than say, alcoholics would?

Día de los Muertos, because of the amazing art at the very least. Plus, who wouldn’t want a second Halloween of sorts? (I know the reasons to celebrate are very different)

Also, Earth Day and Arbor Day, because our trees and planet are awesome.

Back when I used Windows, it worked fine for me out of the box between Win7 and both Ubuntu-based and Arch-based Linux distros 🤷

This, except consider exFAT. It’s more modern than FAT32 but also widely compatible.

Some insects are attracted to light sources, but not mosquitos. They seek out the things our bayou friend already mentioned.

Many are from a huge list (some modified) but I picked out favorites that seemed fitting for a pet and it was actually easier to just retype them. Some were my ideas (e.g. Lt. Dangle because I love Reno 911). I didn’t want duplicates so alphabetizing was the simplest way to avoid that. And yes I giggled pretty much the whole time 😁

That’s actually amazing that we have eclipse shots from Mars. Anyone know how it was taken? What instrument?

Yes, you said that. I’m just giving my perspective on the bullet points you listed.

Your point has some validity for sure, but IMO Hello Games did a poor job with many of these things. And that’s overlooking that basic foot traversal in the game is awful.

suit/ship/multi tool/exocraft grind

That’s an awful grind, not fun at all. You have so little control over it in this game. Suit for example… you can only buy 1 slot per space station (plus one from the Anomaly) and it’s the exact same in every single system.

find cool planets

I want to enjoy this, but there aren’t enough biomes on any planet. They’re huge but super homogenous. No glaciers or rivers or waterfalls or anything.

build bases

This is okay. The parts are awkward but it’s not the worst system.

guild missions

These were just RNG “collect/kill X” trash when I played them.

anomoly missions

These are the best always-available missions. But they get repetitive quickly too and the rewards aren’t very good.

expedition

These are the best thing the game offers IMO, mostly due to having a one-off story and unique rewards. But the actual missions are kind of just a clunky scavenger hunt.

I hadn’t noticed, but if that’s the case it certainly is weird and suspicious. I’ll keep an eye out, thanks.

You haven’t answered my core questions. You seem to be suggesting there’s a centralized or concerted push to promote/market Signal rather than an assortment of disconnected posts and articles. I’m open to that possibility, but what’s the evidence?

Where is it being promoted/marketed? I haven’t seen that. I’m only aware of Signal because of tech news and privacy threads.

The dose makes the poison.

Do you have evidence? And what do you think of the Molly fork?

That was my immediate thought too.

I’ll second this entirely.

Prey 2006 is a slightly gory boomer shooter with interesting topsy-turvy levels, gravity tricks, a few cool enemies and guns and powers, and a campy alien abduction / invasion story. It might be a little underrated in its genre. Definitely fun.

But Prey 2017 was more of a clever stealth action / psych horror title in the vein of Deus Ex and of course System Shock. Brilliant interconnected level design, a deep story, a good (though not super original) roster of guns and superpowers, some tricky puzzles, and a few interesting and enemies. It gets a good amount of love but I still think it deserves wider recognition as an excellent game.

It’s frankly stupid that they have the same name.

Windows 7 Ultimate for me. I still kept it as a boot option on my main PC until about a year ago because I thought I still needed it for a couple windows apps and games.

I tried Win8 at one point and hated the changes. I also tried Win10 and one of those “forced bloody updates” bricked my machine so I said ‘fuck that’ for good.

I’ve dabbled in Linux for 20 years, and run Ubuntu on my living room HTPC for at least a dozen. My main PC runs EndeavourOS now and even gaming has been pretty great.

I mean if you’re down to NetBSD as your pick you’ve probably already made some big concessions so plugging into Ethernet isn’t a huge leap at that point.
