I wonder if there are any horror movies about fan death as the theme.

I just got a new GPU, and they gave me a coupon for the game for free. My system should be able to run it great, but I'm not even sure how good it actually even is. All the reviews I see all look like paid reviews or early access folk, or people that claim to love it to justify their overpriced rigs.

I loved 1 and 2, and then the series went downhill for me. Now I guess I have 4 but might wait a while to play it because I know a ton of patches are coming. Besides, there are a ton of other great games on my backlog that I'd much rather play with my limited free time.

Well, if there was an AI bot swarm to try to affect public opinion, and they needed to generate profile pics...

Is this a trend now? Who inscribes bullets? This seems a little too, "We need to really spell out the motive to people so they know exactly what to think about this.".

I'm kinda curious now how you even go about inscribing a bullet. I feel like a hand tool would just not really produce a legible result, and I've never really even heard of a machine for it. I'm not saying it's impossible, but really rare to see and kinda weird that the last two high profile shootings had inscribed bullets to really drive home the point.

So, back to cartridges. Honestly I'd be totally fine with that- but the issue isn't quite with my end. Some game is made, and is sold for $70. A disc costs under a dollar to produce. A cart is significantly more, and digital is just paying upkeep on a server. Digital has the highest profit margin, and carts the lowest. Discs are great for physical distribution.

That said, I would totally love collector editions in the form of a figurine with storage media built in.

Microdosing crosses to build up an immunity.

This is what made me laugh about when drones first became a thing and everyone thought it was for spying on people for lewd reasons. Like, the Internet exists, and there is a LOT of porn on it. Never once have I watched porn on the internet and thought, "You know what would make this better? If it was shot from about 800 feet away and 200 feet up from a really obnoxiously loud device from an arguably worse camera."

There's no rule saying whales CAN'T play basketball.

Oh, so the long weekend isn't a holiday to celebrate labor? I think we need a holiday to celebrate labor. Let's have another day off for labor.

It's weird watching 4k re releases of CG animated movies from the early 2000s. Some of them they re-rendered at 4k and you can see that major characters are high res, but all the background assets are not. Same with some early special effects in 4k. You can really see the rotoscoping and how some effects were done
