Any UCP voter that opens their mouth period, it’s just going to vomit nonsense and rage propaganda.

That is, once they are done chasing around little school kids that happen to be a little bit different than everyone else.

If you work with your hands period, and you’re voting for the UCP; what the fuck is wrong with you?

FTFY

The 5800X3D is such a banger of a chip. My computer is still a rocketship, almost 2 years later. I undervolted the cores slightly, and in doing so it’s always stayed remarkably cool, while just pounding away at whatever I throw at it. I mean silicon has been pretty consistently good over the past 10 years, but these 58X3D chips are just on another level.

You shoulda saw me trying to shoehorn that 4070ti in. Things the size of a schoolbus.

… are we just figuring this legalized bribery thing now?

It’s pretty insane. It’ll get a first weekend bump, and then just be a blip. I’m not 100% sure on this, but I don’t think the first version of it sold that well either.

I’d normally be excited for this (I live in the area the game is set in), but that price tag. I have the PS4 version that I paid $14.99 for. I never finished it either, speaking of which, I must put it on my immediate list.

I think that’s also pretty much universally true with all our politicians

Hilary was polling at roughly the same numbers as close as two weeks before that election he won back in 2016, if I remember correctly. It was looking like a clean sweep for her, and it was anything but. So don’t get comfortable yet.

Canada here. Sorry bruh, but we are all tapped out.

Also $700 isn’t going to buy you much of a PC if you don’t have one already. Maybe mid spec 1080p.

Not that I’m arguing for PC. I’m pro-console in most circumstances. Only for power modders, power gamers or power purchasers would I maybe argue that PC is the better route. Everyone else, console 100% (except this joke of a console).

I’m not a fan of multiplayer either. The campaigns are usually good, but they get kind of trope-y, and they aren’t very long. The franchise is starting to run out of steam. It also doesn’t help that Activision Blizzard is whoring it out way too much, the ux is getting pretty bad.

RTO just means “layoffs” under a different branding. These gross companies know how to be extra gross. When they really want to actually do a big layoff, that’s when they’ll roll out the “RTO” policy.

User friendly I would agree. Definitely has the best UX. Not sure I would agree that it’s the cheapest though.

Could someone (politely) explain why anyone who criticizes steam gets absolutely scorched?

I mean I’m a user, on the PC it’s probably the platform I purchase on the most. I’ve also used Epic, GOG, and a few of the others. Like most, I’m getting pretty annoyed by having to load what seems like 15 different platforms to play a variety of games.

But I’ve never understood this blind absolute cult-like following of steam. What makes them absolutely beyond any reproach or criticism? Especially when at least Epic gives away lots of free games (like I think I’ve spent about $20 bucks on that platform, yet it seems like I have just about every game known to man in my library). Or others that don’t mess around with DRM, etc. So what gives?

I think Persona 3 Portable on the Vita had a female protagonist too. I believe it was just a port of the PSP version though.

I always struggled with the Persona games. I had P4 Golden on my Vita, and that game was pretty strange, I got weirded out by it about 15-20 hours into it, and never got back into it. They had P5 on sale at Best Buy for PS5 awhile back, I almost grabbed it, but picked up FFVII Rebirth instead. Still haven’t got around to opening it either. I always did love the style of the Persona games though.

I’m in a weird space with fall activities/work/professional development course work/etc., so while I’m in between games, I also don’t really want to get sucked into something too involved at the moment. I bought Call of Duty Modern Warfare (2022) on sale on steam awhile back, and realized last week that I had never installed/played it. So I figured that was a good game to bide some time with. Until I beat it this aft, which sort of sucks because the campaign is never very long on these modern CoD games.

Nevertheless, I’m now in the mood for FPS’s, so I loaded up the OG CoD tonight. It’s been 21 years since this game first came out, right about this time of year in fact. I was in my freshman year of college, and we were obsessed with it. A copy or two floated around the floor of our dorm, and I swear pretty much the entire floor was playing it that fall term. It actually hasn’t aged that badly either. I last played through it about 5 years ago, and I imagine I’ll go through it again over the next week or two.

Considering it’s made by Microsoft, I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest it’s compatible with Windows. Specifically Windows 10 and 11 I believe.

Monetary policy makes the world go round, unfortunately.

I believe the ICC does have a dispute forum. But when you get to these IGOs, it’s unbelievable how many there are. Could probably bring the complaint forward in multiple other forums too.
