Let me guess… just in time for a 2028 election where we all suddenly need our valid SSN?

And the DLC and “Deluxe” editions… The price of a AAA game is well over $100 now.

Another well balanced individual throwing money around to change the world to the way they see fit. Surely this will lead to a beautiful utopia this time.

Check the prices on the ones you think are valuable. A graded $0.10 is still only worth $0.10, but a graded $50 card might be worth $75 if it’s graded high enough. It really is going to vary wildly on the card.

Because Apple built it’s brand around control. If you think windows locks down their users, try working on a Mac. Shit, you couldn’t set a wallpaper on an iphone for 3 years. It’s about the ability to make things work the way that you need them to. Maybe Linux is better there, but Windows vs. Linux is going down a mountain road with or without guardrails. You’ll get to the bottom either way, but one might be a bit more hazardous.

And it wouldn’t be in that position if it weren’t easy enough to teach to the least tech savvy person on the planet.

I’ll just fucking say it. Windows. Maybe Mac if you want, but that’s gonna cost a fair bit more. Skip Linux. Everyone here circlejerks it like it’s the best thing since 3.25" floppy drives, but it’s a pain in the ass for the above average user, let alone someone who isn’t tech savvy. The first time they encounter a problem and have to open the terminal they are going to shut off their computer and burn their house down. Unless your friend wants to learn Linux, then I’d advise you to steer them clear, regardless of what the crowd here has to say about it.

Windows is clean and simple. People here will say otherwise and they’ll point to strawman arguments that don’t have anything to do with the average user, like user telemetry or shutdown/restart on update. Windows wouldn’t be dominant if it wasn’t user friendly. If my grandfather can figure out how to install his bible verse software on his Windows PC, then your friend is going to be just fine.

I appreciate that his helmet strap isn’t locked. Accurate.

Can we get this as his Wikipedia image?

I think it might be because you are using an embedded browser window in whatever lemmy app you are using. When I go in through firefox mobile it looks fine.

My grandmother’s treasure chest was actually treasure. Gold and precious stones hoarded from the overwhelming fear of another system collapse where the dollar became worthless. The Great Depression made a lasting impression.

That’s how I read it.

Here’s hoping they have more than three blocks of city streets to race on…

I really believe audiobooks are slowed down to pad runtime so people feel better about spending $30 on a 7 hour book that should be 4. I listen at 2x speed because 1-1.5 feels like it’s crawling by. The only time I slow it down is for technical non-fiction discussing science and math. Otherwise, full speed ahead.

I’m not sure what this is supposed to mean? I’m familiar with the games, and they are made by a Spanish studio…

Yeah… It’s totally only Americans with weird obsessions with religion…

Dude. I’ve stopped using endashes because people kept saying my shit was AI.

I hope he died hopeful. I hope that he thought, even up to the last minute, that the shitheel he sold his soul to would come through. I want his last moments in this life to have been a vain belief that he was going to be saved. Nothing soothes my black heart more than knowing some worthless cunt died wrong.
