They always talk about how giving coverage leads to copycats. Typically that has meant me getting pissed at the over coverage of mass shootings, but now I’m sitting here waiting like… Okay? Any day now? Maybe not.

Renting a gaming PC seems dumb as fuck.

Thanks, OP.

I’m just about crying, but it’s good to feel - shows how much they matter.

HD audio pass through ended up being reason I went with the shield pro. But it’s not “cheap” at ~$200 per unit. I still think that’s cheaper than a dedicated mini PC or something though (was really the only other option I saw for TrueHD).

Nvidia shields with an alternate home screen have been a good solution for me? TV isn’t connected to the network directly, just to the shield.

I’ve got RetroArch, Plex, Spotify on each of them - that sort of stuff.

Dianne Mott Davidson’s books.

Don’t get me wrong, I loved them as a kid, and it was a nice way to transition to “adult” books but not really my speed anymore and I imagine if I went back I’d think they were “bad.”

I specifically remember liking Rainbow Six around the same time and I liked his books until he started tag teaming with other authors which was probably around 2000?

Based on that I imagine his books from 1986-2000 are “similar” enough.

I recall liking it, but I read it in like the 5th grade so my standards were low (before that I’d been reading my mom’s terrible ‘caterer turned detective’ novels).

I enjoyed Clancy for a long time after that but at this point I aim more towards militaristic speculative fiction.

Starfield was boring as hell and now they’re too scared to try ES6 (because it’ll be garbage).

I would love to be wrong…

This is why I’ve had to start putting things in specific spots. And I have to be very intentional about it otherwise I’m going “I’ll put it here so I remember it” and poof it’s gone.

Neat, guess I’m going AMD for my next build.

Try Harder.

Not everyone has the capacity to make it through college.

The sheer quantity of stupid people that exist is staggering.

And really depressing.

Because I want to be like ‘who gives a shit what those frothing retards perceive as scary’ but… There are just so many.

And they are so easy to steer with fear.

Maybe that’s the trick?

Try something like “Coal causes abortions and makes white baby Jesus cry!” with a dash of ‘Muslim folks can’t use Nuclear power!’

Feels like something from Malazaan - ancient dragon getting blown tf up with an explosive bomb comes to mind…
