Easiest way to deal with news-induced anxiety is to just turn off the news & social media for a few weeks. Does wonders.

Doom scrolling makes all those bad things significantly worse.

The alternative is to release a date early, have everyone shift around your schedule, find out it's not done, delay it, have everyone shift around your schedule again, find out it's still not done, have everyone shift around your schedule YET AGAIN, etc, etc.

Naw, release games when they are done. Silksong did it right.

Good. School is for learning, not for texting your friends.

Widescreen format has a width/height ratio of 1.78, human vision has a width/height ratio of 1.8.

Why would you want a screen that isn't somewhat close to the same ratio as your vision? Your one pixel tall screen is quite far off from the ratio of human vision.

Human vision is wider than it is tall. It makes sense for screens to reflect this fact. 180° horizontally and 100° verticaly.

Yeah, that is my standard way of doing things. Old desktop becomes the server, and it's specs blow everything I want it to do out of the water, so things like file storage (and the CPU required to encrypt-on-disk), etc have no chance of ever presenting an issue. Though, I do have a pair of Pis with POE hats on them (as well as a POE switch), because I really like POE.

Then I set it up for auto-updates and proceed to ignore it. Love very simple home networking setups that still accomplish every goal.

The dedicated NAS appliances really annoy me. Every time I have had to use one I just think 'I can just do this in Linux on any random desktop lying around, why am I learning another proprietary thing?'

Do they know what caliber it is? They don't seem to share it in the article...

This is most likely a standard deer rifle.

Lol, wut? The entire point of the Far Cry series is the single player.

Though it has been clear for awhile the single player experience in Far Cry games has been going downhill. With this announcement, any shred of worth in the series is in the past.

On top of that, it isn't 'just $10 more'. It's $70 more as it has to compete with games I already bought. What does Battlefield Next offer that Battlefield Previous doesn't? Yeah, nope, Titan mode on 2142 is still fun. Flying choppers in 1942's Desert Combat mod is still fun.

And when I do want a new game, look, Silksong is right there for $20. Beats the price proposition on some rehashed game for $70 out of the damn water.

Yeah, people love to complain about authoritarianism. Then those same people cheer murder of political rivals...

It's not a road we should go down, and certainly not one we should cheer on.
