I read this as shortening development time (“quicker”), not necessarily reducing the sheer amount of slop they pile in and call “content.”

This is absolutely c-suites pushing for constant development to be a smoother, faster repetition; lots of DLC, or SaaS.

They said that 15-20 years before civil rights, and before the longest filibuster to block civil rights. The country has never been together. There have always been “othered” groups.

But also Valve will support it.

I bought one of those physical Steam Links nobody cared about. They didn’t do well and Valve ended it fairly quickly. 10 years later it still gets occasional updates from them and benefits from broader Steam Big Picture updates.

Steam Deck has been a huge success. Of course they’ll continue to support it.

My hatred for other humans, especially in their online multiplayer behavior, faaaaar outweighs what you brought up.

What helps solve all of this is not playing online hype games. Single player ftw.

It came out like 3 months after Skyrim, while I was waiting for their patches to fix its game-breaking bugs.

Kingdoms of Amalur was better and released almost the same time and wasn’t a buggy disaster.

Elden Ring, RDR2, and BOTW feels like such a basic bitch gamer list.

Metal… Gear… 4?

Basically nobody will actually make functional use of 32GB RAM on any machine.

There’s a weird obsession in a lot of americanized Christianity with getting young adults married and then having kids. Because I guess they want to see more little Jesus babies and they think that’s all a young adult woman needs to be doing.

I was pressured hardcore into getting married young and then having kids. Fortunately no kids happened and I got out of it all. But I saw so many older church folk at multiple churches push this on lots of young adults.

There’s this weird “no sex no sex no sex no sex” obsession with sex they impress upon you as a teen, which has kind of a Streisand effect by the way. Then at age 18 it becomes endless “oh you two are so cute, when are you proposing, when is the wedding, when are the kids coming…” kind of shit.

Especially for girls. I knew one woman once who said it was (figuratively) like her parents were weirdly holding her legs closed for so long and obsessed with her “purity,” and then one day it was almost like they were wanting to force her legs open for any Christian man they liked.

Unless you’re a young married Christian couple. Then it’s all they fucking bring up at church.

My fav part of the 90s (in the US) is that the federal government introduced a law that would give significant raises to government employees to keep their compensation on par with other similar positions, however it has literally never been enacted since every single president since its inception has declared a national emergency to prevent it.

They also had RIFs in the 90s where they gutted half a million federal government employees. All while Alan Greenspan idiotically thought we’d never see a crash again (because markets did so well through the decade).

What I am saying is, at least in the US, everything is fucking made-up.

For anyone curious, I think this is that law.

Although FEPCA provides for an automatic formula to determine the annual pay raise, this formula has been ignored due to the cost of implementation. The President has authority under FEPCA to submit an “alternative” pay plan with a lower raise than that called for by the FEPCA formula (or none at all) “if because of national emergency or serious economic conditions affecting the general welfare” [5 U.S.C. §5303(b)(1)].

Cataclysm ruined World of Warcraft.

Jennifer Lawrence Nude Leak Simulator? That’s what it looks like to me. Haha

Caption in the article says EroticGamesClub which appears to be a developer or publisher with a lot of sex shovelware (list of their supposed games).

The headache.

I remember years ago seeing some data discussing people moving west and south more, partly in conjunction with the invention of air conditioning, as well as certain roads.

I think this was one of the maps showing this.

The PlayStation 5 continues to smash it

No. It doesn’t. I’ve read lots of articles implying the rate of adoption was slow, and most ps5 owners were just playing a lot of ps4 games for a long time.

It was shocking to me how little I cared. After like 4 years I own maybe 3 PS5 games and finished none of them.

These Christian groups love guns though. I bet you can still buy guns with visa/mastercard. Go buy guns.

Then go show off your guns to these Christians.

I’d think HOA suburban American neighborhoods would be a better photo. Every fucking house looks the same and is some kind of white or slightly off white color. Boring as shit.
