    Gun Culture

    Something that's been nagging at me for a while now, and I don't know where else to post it... The January 6 rioters. A lot of them had guns, didn't they? During the hearings, there was mention of people not being let into Trump's own rally because they were armed, and of Trump trying...

    AI don't trust techbros

    They don't really have to. There are only three record companies left after all the mergers and acquisitions that have happened. I'm sure a third of all the music that's ever been published should be plenty to go off of.

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Tipping a machine? Someone's been stealing ideas from Deep Rock Galactic again.

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    That still doesn't tell the whole story. Even with no filters, there's no reason a site as large and diverse as Twitter should have something like that floating to the absolute top of the results just based on raw analytics data. Someone is manipulating the numbers somehow.

    Building a new Gaming PC!

    And all that to "upgrade" to an OS that's worse than the one before it. Thankfully I don't think they've stopped selling Windows 10 licenses yet. Personally I intend to hold out as long as I can, because 12 will probably be out by then and, historically, every other version has been actually decent.

    Oh, so Trump is banned again then?

    Building a new Gaming PC!

    Interesting how ZIF sockets for the CPU have been a thing for so long. Though in practice, I've never found it to be that useful because the socket types are constantly changing, so by the time my CPU is old enough to need upgrading, there's nothing significantly newer that fits; the only...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Wait, what's the age of consent where you live? Because I don't know of any US state where it's any higher than 18. She was under the legal drinking age, though, so you can add that to his rap sheet.

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    Or you could just delete it, and if anyone tries to pretend to be you, you can just tell anyone who falls for it that they're idiots for thinking you would still use Twitter in its current state. And also that they're idiots for continuing to use it themselves.

    Betcha he won't be criminally charged and imprisoned for it, though.

    Florida, Florida, Florida

    Man, this BioShock sequel I had in my head involving a conflict between a progressive but ultracapitalist City of Tomorrow and the now-backward, fascist nation it seceded from is just continuing to write itself. I won't even have to explain why it's full of mutants now!

    Building a new Gaming PC!

    Ooh, Blu-Ray drives. I seem to recall that, in order to actually watch Blu-Rays on a computer, you need some app that charges an annual subscription fee to use. Is that still a thing?

    UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    I mean... he's also a complete figurehead. Let's not lose sight of the fact that Charles III is not now, nor likely to try to become, the dictator of England. Even under the Tories, Parliament would have his head if he tried, if for no other reason than they want to have that power for...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    It never was. The general public have always preferred a juicy story that's complete horseshit over boring facts. It's only when news outlets have been forced, by law, to report the truth that they would reliably do so.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Great. So Fox News tries to distance themselves from Trump and in return CNN starts courting him. Equivalent exchange is a bitch.

    Building a new Gaming PC!

    I can't remember the last time I had a hard time getting an older game to still run on new hardware. That was mostly a '90s-early 2000s problem that seems to have been ironed out by the time stuff started getting rereleased on Steam. And Valve had actual quality control in those days too, so you...

    The Super Mario Bros. Movie

    Nintendo's probably like "Geez, why didn't we do this a long time ago? Like during one of the many times our console was struggling to find an audience and a hit movie might have driven sales on top of picking up the slack in revenue?"

    Building a new Gaming PC!

    I've heard the PC port of that game is horribly optimized, so it'll double as a good benchmark if nothing else. :P
