So, it’s an announcement for an announcement? We don’t know anything about it, other than that it’s in development.

Oh wow, Razer was selling masks? Seriously? That’s wild, I must’ve missed that completely. What’s even wilder is that a bunch of people apparently decided that their best option for respiratory filters is, of all things, a gaming company. And one with a shaky QC history at that.

Alternate title: CEO with no background in computer science and surface level knowledge of AI weighs in on latest industry buzzword and makes wild predictions.

Nothing to see here.

And it couldn’t have happened to a nicer website.

It’s going to be funny to watch their Pikachu face reaction when this decision chases off a good chunk of their users.

We’ll just have to wait and see, I guess. People didn’t jump ship when Windows 8 became the norm (which didn’t last long, thankfully), so I’m not expecting the needle to move much over a feature most users will never even know exists. A man can dream, though.

So glad this is gaining traction. I like playing older games from time to time and I am NOT down with capricious companies killing games just because they decided it doesn’t make financial sense to patch out their DRM. The Crew was sold as a good, not a service. They should either patch out the online requirement or give users their money back.

I can imagine the prospect not being attractive to Ubisoft, but who cares about Ubisoft anyway.

How about Divine Misanthropy?

Accurate. Bewilderment and confusion is how most users seem to react to Microsoft products. Especially true after Microsoft pushes out a big update.

I can also confirm seeing you throw a hissy-fit.

I thought it was a Pandora games console at first, but that has way more IOs at the back and no touchpad, whereas the thingy in the picture seems to have one below the keyboard. I’m super curious what it might be. If I find out what it is, I’ll edit this post.

Has anyone seen Behind the Curve? Most of these flat earth people seem to possess some level of critical thinking, just… not enough. That, or their pride or obstinacy get in the way. At the end of the documentary, a team of flat-earthers perform an actual, well thought out experiment. It’s… well, just watch.

Best part? Immediately after this, they discard the results of the experiment saying the premise was faulty. Somehow.

No worries, Mac.

On the contrary! I absolutely loathe how bloated webpages have become over the last few decades, so it’s very refreshing and laudable to see a webpage that tries to keep itself as small as possible.

onlooker , 6 months ago

Zero. Then all the other measurements make sense.

onlooker , 6 months ago

Kinky. But no, not necessarily. You could say that one of them is the actual person and the other “person” is just the first person’s shadow. It’s a stretch, but it’s the best I’ve got.

Posteo for mail and Mullvad for VPN. That’s about it.

It feels like everybody, here are just a few examples. And if that doesn’t cut it for you, Steam has a whole-ass tag for boomer shooters.

onlooker OP , 6 months ago

I know, but just let me have my old man yells at cloud moment.

onlooker OP , 6 months ago

Oh, they’re definitely better, no question. But by that definition, wouldn’t that make them Boom Shooters?

onlooker OP , 6 months ago

Dammit! Upvoted with great begrudgement.

onlooker OP , 6 months ago

No, you’re not. But I like you anyway.

onlooker OP , 6 months ago

I would love to see that take place, so sign me up for the Church of the Boomest Shooter. My only real concern is where do we go from boomest?

onlooker OP , 6 months ago

Hey, at least it’s shining.

onlooker OP , 6 months ago

It wasn’t? This is what Wikipedia says:

“OK boomer” or “okay boomer” is a catchphrase and internet meme that has been used by members of the Millennial generation and Generation Z (born between the early 1980s and the early 2010s) to dismiss or mock attitudes typically associated with baby boomers – people born in the two decades following World War II.

Who was it targeted at then?

onlooker OP , 6 months ago

It does roll off the tongue nicely, I have to admit.

onlooker OP , 6 months ago

Get off my lawn and leave me to my prune juice.

onlooker OP , 6 months ago

Oh, I’m liking this take. Get ready for “Z Shooters” and “Alpha Shooters”.

onlooker OP , 6 months ago

Raging against new slang is just gonna make us more out of touch, and intensify the feeling of being old, so I just accept it and try to keep up.

NEVER! I choose to embrace my inner geriatric and complain about kids these days and their hippy-hop music.

onlooker OP , 6 months ago

Okay, then riddle me this: which shooter DOESN’T go boom?

onlooker OP , 6 months ago

Nope, that goes boom, too.

onlooker OP , 6 months ago

That’s a good one. True enough, Splatoon doesn’t go boom, it goes splat.

Are action RPGs okay? If so, Ys: Oath in Felghana. It’s a remake of Ys III, which is also available on other platforms. However! The PSP version has features that other platforms do not, the main two being voice acting (other ports just have beeps when text is displayed) and a whole new mechanic, which is reminiscent of Final Fantasy’s Limit Breaks.

One potential caveat, though: this is probably the hardest entry in the series. Fights are hard, but never cheap. If you’re okay with that, you should have a good time.

onlooker , 6 months ago

So are they poor or rich? Make up your mind!

onlooker , 6 months ago

I am aware, yes. I should add an /s at the end next time.

*Saiya-jin or Saiyan, if you prefer the english version. The word Saiya is supposed to be a pun on the japanese word Yasai (野菜), meaning vegetable.

Counterpoint: I don’t like having more than one package manager on my system, which means things like Flatpaks and Snaps are out. With AppImages, I just double-click on the executable and off it goes.

onlooker , 6 months ago

True. I would consider another package manager if it integrated into my system nicely and if I had more than a few applications outside my regular package manager. But I only have like two AppImages on my PC anyway, so I don’t mind updating them manually when I need to run them.
