my favorite are when it uses rechargable AAs, but can recharge them itself.

yea, that sounds like a serious problem. dont have anything like that with my 3000 series card. Would try a clean install, and then RMA if it keeps happening.

no, sadly you need a Meta account, which is separate from your Facebook account. (pour one out for Oculus, such a better brand name).

For a while it was rough, if you got a facebook ban it would block your headset. now at least they are separate, and getting banned on one doesn’t ban the other!

You haven’t needed a facebook account for the headsets for years now. They finally saw that linking the two was a horrible idea.

Oh, god, the biofuel grind was so painful in the begining, at least until you actually get BIOFUEL.

Once im done my Pacific Drive playthrough, ill take another bash at it.

Yea, I’m still early, but the onboarding feels more rough, so I haven’t got as far as with the others.

My DSP Save has like 200 hours (lots of it AFK to grind some avhivments, and factorio is like 300+

Really having trouble getting into satisfactory. Im used to DSP and Factorio, where its a grid system, and easy to scale up.

Until we start seeing general strikes, or other action, they will continue to ignore the people.

A week of general strikes, and the stock exchange tanking acordingly, would actually have an effect.

Basically just my steam lists.

I’m losing track of books, and started tracking them, but games tend to hang around longer, since they take me longer to get through.

That’s great!

Couldn’t work a Chrisjen/Averserala in there?

Honestly, if we had a second we were thinking Amos

Kids name is Duncan Holden Corhen

Duncan (Idaho) (James) Holden.

Nerdy names, without going the “my name is Bond Goku”

the problem is there is supposed to be 3 more seasons/books to wrap up all the hanging thread, including what happened to the gate builders and the Martian rebels.

named my kid Holden after James Holden, this is going to be a Day One buy for me… as long as the reviews arn’t absolutely horrible.

I still run a lot of my games off of spinning rust. Boot times are a little bit longer, but at least i can store a ton of games.

If you have a $3k GPU, definitely feels that way!

not sure what you mean.

The power supply would just provide an additional voltage, they currently provide 3.3V, 5V and 12V, they could also provide 48v too.

Definitly feels like we need to increase the voltage. Stepdown transformers are extremely efficient, and could be card side.

I really love my Quest 3 headset, and i think the investments into VR is some of the best money that Facebook has spent… for me as a consumer.

I dont think that the metaverse is worth the electrons used to send it though.

yea, there is a disclaimer at the top.

AI version of this, because I found it funny:

In Defense of Asbestos: The Mineral We Love to Hate

Look, everyone’s got their vices. Some people sip whiskey to “relax,” others puff cigars to feel “distinguished.” But heaven forbid you mention asbestos—suddenly, you’re the villain in a 1980s PSA.

But let’s be honest: asbestos walked so modern insulation could run. Before we had fancy synthetic fireproofing and high-tech soundproofing, asbestos was out here doing it all. Fire-resistant? Check. Insulating? Absolutely. Durable? Like the cockroach of minerals—won’t burn, won’t break, just vibes.

“Oh, but it causes health problems,” they say, as they light their third cigarette of the day and sip their third oat milk IPA. Everything causes health problems if you inhale it long enough. Ever tried breathing in glitter? Death trap.

And what happened to personal responsibility? You don’t see us eating asbestos sandwiches. We just want a little cozy, non-flammable nostalgia in our ceilings. It’s not like we’re snorting the stuff—though, let’s be real, if someone did that in the 70s, it was probably the same guy who invented disco.

Let’s stop pretending asbestos was some mustachio-twirling villain and start recognizing it for what it was: the gritty, misunderstood hero of 20th century construction. Sure, it had a dark side—but so did lead paint, and we don’t see that getting canceled on social media.

So here’s to asbestos: May your fibers be forever airborne in the halls of history, and your reputation just slightly less shredded than it deserves.
