Yeah, though it’s kinda wild how incredible Killer Instinct 2013 is by comparison.

I think French Toast is a great name for the little guy

In my case, I use a PCI card with an m.2 slot for my OS drive. I lose a PCI slot, but I already had a few to spare.

I use a 1tb ssd for the os/apps with my raid5 strictly for storage. Kinda nice if the os needs to be reinstalled or I want to migrate the raid cluster.

As mentioned by others, he “retired” a few months ago, but he’s not the only one at fault. Many of the other executives contributed to the terrible decision making that landed the company in its current situation and they need to be cut loose as well.

You misunderstand, we’re in the mirror universe.

“There is not a lot of history of laziness being rewarded with success. Hard work is an essential ingredient in any recipe for success.”

Says the corporate executive whose success is measured entirely by the hard work of others.

Millennial here and I’ve had a similar experience. I ate a ton of red meat growing up, but once I got to my early-to-mid 30s, I noticed beef would give me a lot of stomach issues. I switched to eating chicken and sometimes (depending on the dish) substituting the meat entirely for black beans and found my stomach issues got a lot better. And it’s still just as tasty to me, so I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything.

Maybe you should think a little more about the shareholders and little less about yourself. /s

When I have no choice but to interact with people, I do my best to treat them with respect. However, I would say I’m generally ambivalent toward people overall and do my best to avoid them. I’m just not a social person and I never will be. Being forced into social settings is exceptionally stressful to me.

That was my thinking. A friend of mine has had a Polestar 2 for about a year now and absolutely loves it. Hasn’t had a single problem with it. Like with conventional vehicles, some brands are just shit for quality and others are great.

That’s it exactly. In addition to over-hiring during COVID, the massive spending spree from a ton of over-inflated, short-sighted acquisitions ever since the IPO absolutely demolished the company’s budget. Cutting Weta Digital was only the tip of this latest iceberg.

Damn near everything in Nier Gestalt/Replicant. That game wrecks me every time I play it.

Listen, I built enough lego bridges back in the day to know I ain’t trusting that.

Excuse you, but Riccitiello retired. Sure, it was at the last minute with absolutely no transition plan ahead of time, but it was totally voluntary and not at all forced by the board!

(/s if it wasn’t obvious)

I saw the movie a few days ago and while I didn’t think it was bad, I’ll admit the script is a mess. Some parts are a little hard to follow or poorly explained. Someone either got a bit lazy with the writing or did a poor job cutting it all together.

Also an atheist, but was recently in a church for a non-religious event. I got bored waiting for it to start, so I cracked up one of the bibles there to a random page. The first thing I saw was a passage about how if a man’s son is disobedient and doesn’t get his act together, the man is allowed to kill his son by stoning him to death. My immediate reaction was along the lines of “jfc they let kids read this shit?” You could make a wicked drinking game out of all the fucked up shit you can find in there.

Israel must be so proud, murdering starving and defenseless people.

And this is the big long-term problem with Israel’s campaign of open genocide. They don’t care how many innocents are killed as long as they wipe out Hamas, but in the process, they’re inspiring more fanaticism in the region and fueling Hamas and other similar groups. Both Hamas and the Israeli government are terrorist organizations and they have a symbiotic relationship. The only real losers here are the innocent people caught in the middle.

Personally, I found Arch to be difficult to get installed. I’m ok with command line stuff once everything is all setup, but having to use it for the installation process is something I found to be too easy to screw up and too time consuming overall. Also, I haven’t seen any drop of vanilla Arch with a GUI installer. For the Arch experience, I generally go with EndeavourOS since it’s easy to install, gives you lots of options for the window manager, and is easy to use once you get it up and running.

If you’d prefer the Debian environment, I think anything from Debian or any of its derivatives (Ubuntu et al) would be a decent choice. My favorite is Linux Mint. I’ve seen a lot of people describe it like “entry-level” Linux, but it’s very capable and user friendly. It’s where I tend to spend most of my time when running Linux and I would say usually requires the least setup since it typically just works out of the box.

There’s also OpenSUSE Tumbleweed if you feel like going a somewhat different direction. I get more “traditional Linux” vibes from OpenSUSE, but packaged up in a user friendly manner. I play around with it from time to time in a VM, mostly when I want to test out some new server package locally. But, that said, it’s still capable of handling anything else I throw at it, so it’s fun to use all the same.
