They really buried the lede with that one, huh.

He is proposing exile. Deportation is to send someone back to their country of origin. They're already in America.

Deportation infers that they didn't belong there to begin with. You can't deport a naturally born citizen, and we have another word for which is considered much more cruel: exile.

Might be a language barrier thing but the difference is pretty substantial imo, and I am tired of letting these chuds rework the narrative with their particular choice of words.

Okay, like, I get the meme, but seeing someone kill a large mouse with a baseball bat remains disturbing. There's a reason we set traps for these things, you know?

When

Adorable.

Underclocking your CPU like crazy because you don't want to replace the thermal paste is an insane thing to do, and probably still won't help, as the thermal paste being gone means there's nowhere for the heat to go. It'll just build and build until you hit a spike; you'll just reach that spike slower. You're rapidly sacrificing your parts by not just opening it up, cleaning out the dust and replacing the thermal paste, even using some kind of heat-reduction work around.

85 degrees is high but normal for a component that is pushing it, so software solutions, like underclocking, are viable. 100 degrees is "most computers will turn off to protect the components" territory, suggesting something has gone wrong with your cooling solutions and it really needs to be opened up.

But, that's not the question you asked, just a word of warning I felt compelled to add. Depending on the processor and motherboard, there are BIOS solutions and in-OS solutions. Check your mobo for settings in advanced. If they're there, they're there. If you're using an old Ryzen, (I believe the 1000 series is 8 years old now?) there's an app called AMD Ryzen Master that lets you tweak CPU speeds and voltages. Realistically Google "[CPU name] underclock" and you'll find a guide that links you to software, if it is available for your processor. I've never heard of a catch-all third party software solution for CPU clocking, the way Afterburner does that for GPU.

Adding to this one. Incredible game.

Bugsnax. Substantially better game than I anticipated.

Is that a fucking onion I see?

Bring it back. Make them do it over.

nationalism gave us the hubris to think we were impervious to fascism.

Which is absurd, as the fascist nations were overwhelmingly nationalist first and foremost.

God, Mouthwashing was a masterpiece.

I also really, really enjoyed Arctic Eggs, but it's so absurd that I can barely recommend it to people.

I appreciate Critical Reflex in ways I hadn't quite put together until reading this article.

What? You mean it was... Projection? Unbelievable. Republicans never do that.

It's like watching a cheater jump to conclusions about others cheating. It's easy for them to imagine it's happening, because it's what they'd be doing in that situation.

 

Apparently "nationalism is bad" is an uncivil take. Unless there's another reason someone would ban this comment... 🤔

 

So the situation is this: I am a junior high ELA teacher and I want to bring some videogames into the classroom. What I have to work with are the students Chromebooks. At first glance, I figured I'd throw some short, playable without install games on some flash drives and we could play through whatever game it is, and then talk about it like any other short story. Bring in the relevant terms, connect it to the course outcomes, easy. Then I began to learn the limitations of Chromebooks and how challenging it can be to run Windows .exe's on them, or find games that run natively on a Chromebook without installing.

Getting the rights to install anything on these devices is functionally out of the question. The request would have to go through the school board. Even if they agree that it's a good idea, the practicality of giving me the rights to install things without opening it up so the students can install things and without consuming an inordinate amount of class time in just setting up is unlikely. Ideally, I need games that can run on a Chromebook without running an install, or games that run in browser.

I'm googling around and considering emulator options. If anyone has experience in playing games in these circumstances, I'd love some options and insights. Additionally if people have recommendations for games that would be particularly good (narrative focused), I'd love to hear them. It's 2023; these kids don't need to learn what conflict is through short stories written by white men in the 1920s. With all the push towards student-focused learning and differentiated education, I want to start giving them choice and breadth in how they take in these concepts.

Thanks in advance for anyone who gives me their time and expertise on this.
