That’s about to be me: I’m hearing it’ll be months until the waitlist clears so I think I’m just going to build something more powerful for a little more instead before prices get ever crazier.

Sony Xperia or Google Pixel these days.

I bet you could build something close but yeah, I am waitlisted and I’m looking at making something with maybe a 5070rtx now for 4k or high settings at 1440

Love my Steam Deck and was considering a Steam Machine but I think I’m just going to spend a little extra for a solid mid range desktop.

I don’t mind them but I also don’t usually watch them.

Trans people: I don’t care which sportball team you play on or what bathroom you use, just wash your hands when you’re done.

Whatever is in your pants is none of my business unless you’re trying to make it my business (in which case, I’m flattered, but in a monogamous relationship, sorry).

Nice, one of the main reasons I buy a lot of stuff on Steam is because it’s easy to use with Linux distros.

These assholes should get carried away to jail.

Clearly a hadouken.

They’ve already burnt up thousands of tons of satellites and plan to burn so much more e-waste in our atmosphere.

Bummer their company didn’t work out but good on them for not screwing over their customers!

Perhaps Tom is just bad at being a predator?

Spike basically fills the ecological role that the owl would in this scenario, doesn’t he?

Not exactly what you’re after but William Gibson’s Sprawl trilogy is pretty close minus the small population and only small parts of the population live in some sort of paradise. There’s also Burning Chrome, which is set in the same universe but is a series of short stories. It’s a dystopian near future sci-fi noir that is considered to have basically started the whole cyberpunk genre. Punchy writing, would recommend.

Well, shit.

This phenomenon is called “semantic satiation”.

Hail Eris.

Ah, they lost their instance for a while there.

Kinda but some places are way worse than others (Hexbear, .ml, and lemmygrad come to mind as the most egregious, but I think Hexbear is actually gone now).
