It’s a surprise to hear how many truck/SUV owners are women. The theory delivered has been that women generally feel unsafe in the open due to misogynistic behavior as well as rare cases of road rage, and so a big tough car acts as a “safety blanket” - so even in traffic when surrounded, they can feel control and ownership of their space.

That’s a stretched theory but it could make sense.

I wonder how they plan to cover the events. Normally, you’d bring gaming journalists, but Saudis are terrified of journalists.

I’d very much like to see the Accountable Capitalism act hit these companies. Force them to rethink their employee-hating positions when they need their votes to win over the board.

I know for myself, I have a bit of a mental barrier of separation between what I find kinky in fictional media, and what I would ever expect of real people. I fear for people that break that barrier, failing to understand the ways fiction goes outside of reality.

Of course, there’s rare cases where people somehow match porn - it’s probably best to let those be a surprise, not something you seek.

Apollo is out there in Kuh’rain, wondering if Ace Attorney will ever pick up on an old story so his boss can tell him something important and he can say back “Yeah, Mr. Wright, I figured that out because I’m not an idiot.”

It’s definitely been warped and beaten, but I at least appreciate that it’s a far more open system than cable, and thus there are ways to escape the worst of it for those who try. I let my Netflix sub expire, and instead have turned to library apps and PBS - there’s still far more content than I’d ever finish.

Installing CachyOS hasn’t quite given nostalgia, but it got me away from the feeling of Windows’ bloatware.

The internet’s creative centers pre YouTube algorithm.

Now, not just to make it big, but to get popular, you need someone talking for 10 minutes every week to draw attention - maybe even every day.

That forces hundreds of creators to consider what content can be made lazily with no effort, rather than with skill over the course of a few months. Rewind back to the better days of Flash animations and even my own hobby of Garry’s Mod / Source Filmmaker animations to see a lot of what I mean.

It’s a terrible effect, and people who don’t spend much time in their TV’s setup may not know or think to turn it off - or they delude themselves into thinking they like the effect.

Huh. A long time ago I would’ve thought this purchase would’ve gone the other way around.

“Killing is bad”
(Crazed shooter begins murdering people in a crowd, policeman aims a gun at him)
“No! Don’t shoot! We can’t make exceptions to our rule, it would only make us as bad as him.”

It’s a sentiment based on multiple elections where voters did not get to participate in a Democratic primary.

I’ve had the same problem with my Xbox controllers on Cachy. The xone repo had an issue about the controllers not working after sleep until the dongle is physically re-plugged, and it got closed for some reason.

I think the codebase owner is as frustrated as I am, and I’ll admit I have no driver knowledge, but it’d be great if someone could find a solution.

Possibly Battlefield, League, Fortnite, or COD. Can’t deny those are big population draws, and turn Linux into a no-sell.

I’m sure they will over time, but I would guess there’s a surprising number of potential issues with any font variance. That’s the kind of thing that can appear hardware-dependently, like certain high/low-res monitors showing fonts too big, too small, or even not at all. So any bug fixes that have come through on the subject will rely on user bug reports.

If it was as simple as the font swapping feature seen in Word, I’m sure it wouldn’t be a big deal.

Some of the Resident Evil games felt more natural on controller than mouse for me. Even though you’re aiming and shooting, the laser sight feels more intuitive on a thumbstick. Specifically thinking of 4 and 5.

Umbrella evil. There, that’s pretty much your catch-up on every game’s story.

I guess it gets confusing with recent remakes of 2, 3, 4; they’re meant as clear entry points, and the latest version of RE1 is still a bit old (though it too is a “remake” of an ancient PS1 edition)

7 is extremely different from the others - it was even thought to be a new/different IP when it was revealed. Village is a direct sequel to that, but could also be enjoyed alone; it’s a bit more action and less creepy.

Wonder if H4 will really continue off WOA’s ending; or if it’ll be some weird reboot.

I might even be interested in some form of main character switching for Hitman if they can invent someone that has most of 47’s capability with some interesting nuance. (No, the spoiler is not that 47 dies)

If there is somebody who can’t walk, can’t bike, and can’t take alternative transit options (eg, disability-supported shuttle, or plain buses) I do not see a car as a solution for them and would be worried about their driving cohesion.

The handicap argument has been tried against walkable city infrastructure for a long time. It’s a terrible dog whistle; the pressure to use a car to get everywhere is hurtful to the disabled as well as the rest of us.
