Fuck YouTube shorts. It's infuriating that YouTube doesn't provide us an option to remove all traces of that fuckin cancer from the platform.

I gave Starfield a fair chance, I played it for 20 hours, patiently waiting on why it deserved an "8.4" rating from critics. But it never delivered. The gameplay is a copy of Fallout 4, the user interface is a mess (they've gone backwards somehow) and the world is just so generic and uninspiring that I couldn't bear one more minute of it.

I can see why it's got a 5.5 from real players.

On a side note, the gaming reviews now mirror Rotten tomatoes. What the professional paid "critics" love, doesn't necessarily mean the players do, and vice versa. The real players always give a more fair rating.

Umm, anything you access on the Internet has to know your IP address, that's how the Internet works. Whether or not they choose to keep the logs is a different matter.

I never had them. Pirate life for me!

Just wait 10-20 years. It seems what's acceptable to say changes all the time.

20 years ago "queer" was offensive.

Critic score or audience score? Because boy, there's a difference

I'm happy to stay on the climate doomed Earth while you can take my spot on Mars.

The biggest problem I have with LEDs is they're supposed to last forever yet mine die every few months.

Gamepass is not free

That's YouTube's goal: to completely funnel you into their algorithm instead of you being able to choose the content you want to watch.

Sucks for Michelle Wolf

Is there a need for VPN/proxy with this?

Not all boomers who manually download mp3s transfer them around. I'm one of those "boomers" (I'm in my 30s) that download their mp3s because I like to own my stuff. I then stream it to my devices using a selfhosted media server without transferring anything.

I also have the GOG version but it doesn't have controller support or higher resolution support. Did Aspyr's update made it to GOG?

We've also got a theater with two IMAX screens

Which theater is that? I've been looking for one but there isn't one near my location, apparently there are only 30 of them? EDIT: Clarification, only 30 in the entire world that project 70mm. I was looking for one to watch Oppenheimer in.

Depends on your definition of "extremists" and "normal people"

Yeah, it doesn't look like the GOG version has it out of the box.

This is interesting. Does this mean I can backup my game out of steam folder, replace the steam_api.dll and be able to just run this anytime without steam?

The problem with browsing Subscribed is that the subs I'm interested are dead/have very low activity. The problem with browsing All is that it's infested with politics and negativity.

As usual with new technology, some jobs go away and new ones appear.

Because they can't see what you're downloading via direct download especially if it's over HTTPS. On the other hand, it's trivial to see everyone's IP if they download the same torrent you are, then they just send letters to ISPs owning those IPs who then pass it on to you.

Plex is dead

*arr apps still need a tracker. *Arr by itself is useless without working torrent trackers which are becoming fewer and fewer, unless you're willing to play the private tracker games.

It's just used as an excuse to shut down speech the government/tech companies don't like because it doesn't fit their narrative.

So what if someone believes the earth is flat, let the people hear and decide for themselves. That's a bedrock of democracy, people are capable of making decisions for themselves. Not you or anyone else has a right to tell them what to believe or filter down the information they get.

I go to the ones that everyone else defederates. Means they have something important to say. I'm against all censorship.

Yes!!! It's a great vaccine, I'll keep supporting our great pharmaceutical companies and happily inject myself with anything they produce. They have a great track record. Fuck those antivaxxers, they don't know what's good for them.

By moving to another instance

I stop listening to anyone who uses the word "misinformation" unironically.
