Exactly what you need from the custodian of the largest nuclear weapon arsenal on Earth.

Honestly, I'd rip my collection, but at the time it takes to download that quality rip I'd be quicker just typing them all into Radarr and coming back later...

The one near me either doesn't do that, or maybe they only have the "access to kitchen" bags by the time the homeless get there.

I think the stupidest thing about food banks is they give the same random bags of food to poor and homeless people, so I often see carrier bags with tins of beans or dry pasta just dumped by the roadside because what the fuck is a homeless person going to do with 600g Aldi penne pasta?

Any game that starts with you punching trees for wood can fuck right off at this point.

If love them to make a Discworld game. So many characters would be perfect for a D&D style game.

I think Meta's problem now is now that their headset is no longer super cheap. The Q3 is double the price of the Q2. It's no longer a cheap toy you could buy on a whim.

Its kind of left the PC without a super cheap headset as well.

Bad news for VR tbh. I was hoping the PS2VR PC dongle might do it, but it sounds like they've gutted it for PC users.

The site is https://www.protondb.com/ if you want to check your own library.

Can you use that site to see which of your games fall into each category? I've got a few in the red bronze and silver, but it would be nice to see at a glance which of them it is.

That's not because the sugar tax was enough.

It's because the drink manufacturers mostly just stopped selling the full sugar versions, which kind of sucks for anyone who hates the taste of artificial sweeteners. Even squash like Robinsons became undrinkable. It tastes like battery acid.

There's only really Coca-Cola left that tastes the same as it did before. Lemon and lime drinks like 7-Up or Sprite almost cover the taste of it, so they'll do in a pinch. Otherwise I just drink water and cider. Apparently alcoholic drinks don't need to tell you how many calories are in them either, so I'll assume it's none and carry on looking confused when I get on the scales.

Me: "So companies can't hoard my data?"

EU: "That's right"

Me: "Cool, and I'll encrypt my chat just to be safe."

EU: "Now wait a minute..."

I can see what people are trying to do, but it doesn't work. The right wing talking points about the less-right wing don't work when flipped, because his followers don't care. They lap it up.

They're tootling around in mobility scooters covered with Trump flags and stickers. Their homes have been shrines to him since 2016. He could physically shit himself on stage and these people would still vote for him, no questions asked. Trump makes them feel good about their hatred they've been told is wrong for the last few decades. Their MAGA is an all-white suburb as far as the eye can see.

The only thing that will stop them is his death. A large chunk of the movement will die with him. Those followers don't really seem to care for the republican party. That's the only upside.

Fascism has the whole propaganda thing nailed down. It's just too hard to get people excited about a mediocre amount of progressivism. The Nazis got this and have been the model for it ever since.

I honestly don't know what the solution is.
