thanevim,

I would personally take it as a compliment. But then, I like the guy's rants and deep dives into tech. Your mileage (heh) may vary

thanevim,

Something something, going green is expensive?

thanevim,

Someone in marketing thought that sounded cooler and would make more sales

thanevim,

They were certainly Bethesda games. I'm not even remotely fond of multiplayer fallout. But for 4, it's a marvelous modding world that I've sunk over a thousand hours into.

thanevim,

Yeah, I second that. I run the game to a perfectly playable extent, low-to-medium settings, and I have a barely better GPU, 1660-Ti, with a 10th gen laptop i7

thanevim,

I know you want a gift card from target!! I just need to know which one!

thanevim,

What makes you think modders aren't interested in making quests? Have you seen Fusion City Rising for Fallout 4?

Protip: Andreja is understanding of having to join the The Fleet undercover for the UC Marines (if player ends up with a UC bounty, this is a likely outcome), so long as you choose UCSec dialogue options where presented

So if you find yourself with a UC bounty on your head, and already have Andreja as your active companion, so far she's been ok with my choices as long as I've stayed on the "I'm doing this cause I have to" line....

thanevim,

I've even made progress on her affinity during this madness!

thanevim,

Because radio stations' DJs would say "and here's artist with song name", I firmly believed that one of two things must be true:

Radio stations had the bands always playing live for them

And/or

Radio stations would present a local DJ, but they would then tune in to the artist playing the track live for a larger station

What's even funnier about this is that my dad has at the time taught me how to use a tape deck to record radio and CDs to tape. So I clearly understood recording mediums. Just, the idea still lingered in my mind for a while.

thanevim,

To be fair, a considerable number of cartoons actively portray exactly that.

thanevim,

Gee, thanks...

On the plus side, Randall Munroe is still publishing new comics three times a week at xkcd.com, along with his What If books

thanevim,

If he's telling us this, does that mean we get to bill him for the upgrade?

thanevim,

I agree with you fully, except the last part. Which is just a regional gripe, as to say "apartments" in the States is just as degrading/non-special. So it's interesting that you find specialty in that term when my region is anything but.

thanevim,

You mean we shouldn't blindly trust random, almost entirely anonymous, users giving out executables to be run on the very same devices we do banking and important life paperwork on? Say it ain't so!

thanevim,

The only thing play protect has done "for" me lately was remove file access to Poweramp the day after I got it. Fuck Play Protect.

thanevim,

That joke kinda sailed over your head there, mate

thanevim,

So if this is of interest to anyone here, I strongly recommend getting the Snake Oil card game. The basic premise is you have one player (the potential buyer) pick a profession card, then the other players choose from two word cards in their hands, and have 60 seconds to sell it to the potential buyer. Potential buyer chooses winner, and a new player becomes the potential buyer.

For added twist, I like to have a questions phase where the sellers get to attack each others' products. Truly a blast, especially if there's a bit of drinking going on

thanevim,

With how Google marched backwards on cloud storage since the turn of the decade, GMail is getting even less promising. Once my wife and I finally move out of here, I'm going 100% self hosted, setting up my own email server, et al

thanevim,

God that's accurate. Or how telling your phone to launch Kodi on the CCwGTV, it showing you feedback that recognizes the name (eg "Launch Kodi on Main Google TV", but still coming back with, "I can't do that"

You're just launching an Android app! Don't give me that bullshit!

thanevim,

What's awesome about this is when you drive a hybrid. All your power comes from gas or regenerative braking, but it's so efficient that it's still painful to the average Republican

thanevim,

In the same vein, Malicious Life is also good, though Ram is a bit difficult to understand.

I also love Smashing Security and Hacking Humans for the news side of Cyber Security
