You're welcome.

A bit of a disaster? The game is a disaster let alone the launch. Parts of the game looks worse than modded originals. The fan-based remastered were ages better than this shit Rockstar dropped. I own every GTA, these are all skips for me.

Case in point

Yikes! That reminds me of this...

Super frustrated with FH5 right now. My dad and I kept getting disconnected from one another when trying to convoy and race together. He's on the XBSX and I'm on my PC. On top of that, we both experienced "You missed a checkpoint" messages immediately when going through the middle of both flags on different races.

Solo is fun but co-op is a mess.

Must be nice, you and your dad doing things together.

Tuesday for Forza 5 and Battlefield 2042. Gonna Game Pass both games, especially 2042, but hopefully it holds up well to BF4. FH5 should be another solid entry into the series.

Thoughts?

The samurai version of The Witcher?

edit - oh nvm. They make cartoony games for kids. Lame. Zero interest in whatever it is now.

How to Turn On Enhanced Safe Browsing in Google Chrome.

Switch to any other browser. Why anyone still uses Chrome is beyond me. It was never that good of a browser to begin with, imo.

Interestingly, today, I was trying to look for the original QuakeCast I used to listen to all the time as a kid. I learned that, apparently, a new QuakeCast which started in 2018 is around now. I was like "NO WAY! This is still going?!" A little more digging and I realized it wasn't the same one I had grown to love--which our fine proprietor, Blue, was a part of.

I don't know why it was so difficult to find. I remembered there was a guy on there with a weird name, but I couldn't remember the name. Anyway, I eventually found it just a little bit ago, and his name was Mace Royer. You can listen to the old archives even! Nostalgia.

Imagine pre-purchasing anything in this day and age, especially something from EA. I guess there are new kids on the internet every day though. I hope they learn more quickly than I did.

This is one of those games that has no business existing.

They would die for their spouse and kill for their kids, but only after owning the libtards.
And why is Jesus mostly protecting the hospitalized vaccinated, even un-praying atheists liberals, all the wrong ones ?

These traitors spreading lies leading to more Americans being killed is a real problem. They are thinning themselves out though. I was shown that sorryantivaxxer site a while ago. It scrolls for days.

B5 was the best show ever made. I'll die on this hill. But I can't help but wonder if the B5 curse will continue with this reboot. Only a handful of the cast and crew are still alive because of it. 😬

"We're in the middle of a chip shortage, how are we gonna fix that?"

China: "Stop production? No chips, no problems!"

I'm sure it doesn't help that fucking crypto miners are sucking up all the chips and using them to place strain on the power grid, and now China has decided to crack down on crypto.

Yet you undoubtedly still use Windows and likely services offered by Google.

Irony isn't a supplement.

I use both out of necessity, and I limit my Google exposure as much as possible. I don't even use the search engine.

TAA looks way better to me than DLAA. DLAA just makes the image blurry, AND uses more frames to do it. Seems like a waste of time.

Is it bad I haven't seen any of The Soprano's (besides like the last 3 mins of the finale to see what the fuss was about?) and GoT?

Nope. I gave both shows two seasons apiece and found them both to be wildly overrated.

You gave up on Sopranos before it started proving itself one of the best shows ever made? The second season was still establishing characters.

Jesus, Seagate. Just... stop.

ActiBlizz on its way to being investigated by every agency on the planet

Watch them be deemed "too big to fail". 😬

They fixed that AVX thing months ago on older CPUs. I know because once they patched it to remove AVX instructions, like 4 or 5 patches ago, it fixed the crash I always got on my old i7 980x at the point after meeting Jackie and going through the border check. They needed to fix it again or what? I've since built a $4200 (pre-trump-tariffs) monster PC because it ran like shit on my old box with a 1080 Ti. Lel

Edit - oh apparently they released a patch sometime after that added them back in. Lovely.

I had to ditch my old phone as it would not upgrade past android 5 and the state government's QR check in app only supports android 6 and up.

So I bought a samsung galaxy s9.
Frankly I was disgusted with the amount of crap that it comes preinstalled with.
What I was most annoyed about though was that so much of the crap can't be properly uninstalled. I've spent too much time disabling permissions and trying to decypher dark patterns. I've had moderate success getting things into better shape but it is still less than ideal.

If I'd had more time I would've never purchased this phone. But it was cheap and I need the app to move around as freely as is allowed. We are still in lockdown

If people would just do the bare minimum required to help keep everyone around them safe, we would be through this shit already.
