Our goal involves creating a compelling progression path for all of our players. There’s a lot of content at launch with even more coming via live service, and we’ll continuously adjust our progression mechanics to give players a sense of accomplishment as they explore all of Battlefront 2

And then you remember the bunch of clowns currently elected to parliament.

Moonfall was funny bad. Atlas is just bad bad.

My torrent client just pinged me that it finished downloading it an hour ago. I watched about 30 minutes, then I figured my time was better spent organising my pocket lint.

Support for victims of genocide, if they are recipients of pell grants and operate a business in a minority neighbourhood for at least two years.

Being able to swim when stationed on a ship sounds way more useful than it actually is. In a ‘man overboard’ situation, it doesn’t help you much, you get fucked by the inertia of a massive ship that can’t just turn around and pick you up. By the time they manage to turn around the ship, the real problem is actually finding you. Even if you’re an excellent swimmer, your chances of survival are very low.

mfw Windows still doesn’t come with a package manager

I’m not a Windows-head (never owned a Windows PC), but MSI’s seem to quack and waggle like a package. If you mean “they don’t have a central repository”, yeah, unless if you count their appstore or whatever they call it.

Wanting to ask a girl out but having to talk to her parents first to get her on the line.

This is valid late 90’s critique on Windows. In the modern day, it’s valid critique on the entire state of computer software. There used to be a time where I could run “ps axuw” on a then modern Unix system and understand exactly what the fuck was going on and what each process was for. These days the nerd-favoured systems are also a big mess of complexity.

I think a lot of older nerds also under-appreciate the position tech has taken in the world in the meantime. Look at it like electricity. When that first popped up, people involved with it knew all the ins-and-outs, they -had- to know all the ins-and-outs. But by the time I grew up, electricity was a done deal. You flip the button, lights go on. Same has happened for the rest of the world with IT. You click the icon, facebook pops up.

LinkedIn pivoting as a VPN provider confirmed. Bet they figured they could never compete with X, the everything app.

Is this actually Linux gaining any significant new mindshare, or is it just that the use of desktops is in relative decline, and the holdouts are going to be the more linux-inclined?
