That model looks strangely familiar.

In fact, so does the topic.

Oh yeah, that's why. I helped with this series. (Or did you do two similar ones?) Cool to hear it's going to be exhibited.

You mean the trading card game that used to be coherent but these days is whored out to every franchise on Earth so Hasbro can make a quick buck, reputation be damned? There are worse comparisons.

Still better than the spell that needs to be cast at local noon. They synchronized those by having each monastery create and then destroy an invisible copy of the sun whenever they cast it. You don't want to know how expensive to maintain that is.

The one advantage Intel has is Thunderbolt 4. Few people care about Thunderbolt on a desktop but on laptops it's kinda nice (when it decides to work).

And even if we accept that it was always intended to be PSN-only and they decided to launch before PSN integration was done, the fact that multiplayer is entirely dependent on them providing a service is troubling. That's how we lose games.

I can still launch Rainbow Six 3 and play multiplayer with my friends because it has the server built in and allows direct connect via IP address. You can't do that with a live service game; once the official servers are down the game becomes (partially or completely) lost media.

To be honest, I'm kind of afraid that Linux will go the day of Windows with zero UI consistency because of apps that can't be themed to even look vaguely similar or may even take over the window decorations.

I kinda liked it more when gtk-qt was still a thing and you could actually get a semi-unified look for the while environment.

Kernel-level anticheat and DRM are killer features, like it or not. People don't care how invasive they are, they want to play League of Duty. If Linux can't do that then it's not good enough yet as far as they are concerned.

Meanwhile the only thing keeping me from switching to Garuda on my desktop is that the GPU is wonky and misbehaves even worse under Linux than it does under Windows. Screw competitive online games.

Well, "proto-chickens", let's say.

Also known as red junglefowl.

I don't. I generally dislike eating out or going to movies or events alone. I'm also generally very introverted but I happen to dislike going out and doing stuff by myself.

One big part is that I can chat if I eat with someone but if I eat by myself I'm understimulated. And if I already sit there and look at my smartphone while eating I can as well just pick up something from the bakery around the corner and eat it while looking at my computer screen.

Besides, isn't China already selling ammo to them? I could very well see China selling vehicles to Russia in large quantities, even on loan – and all it will take is Russia to become even more of a Chinese satellite state.

We tried sitting this out and it didn't work. Ukraine's new approach of actively making Russia hurt looks more promising.

There's nothing to stop you from using concrete as a structural material and covering it with brick. That's how most single-family houses in Germany work.

I mean, there's lots of French people called François (which comes from the same base as France), a German musician called Drafi Deutscher, so many people of various levels of renown with English as their surname that the Wikipedia page links to several disambiguation pages... I mean, there's people with "Human" as their surname.

Surnames can be remarkably blunt.

(Also, Sapphire Fire. It would've been hilarious if Katara started taking like Starfire, though. "This is my husband, the Fire of the Wang.")
