There was a time I’d watch V for Vendetta every November 5th, but that’s fallen off in recent years. Still a great movie; it’s one of those few films I think is better than the source material. I have also probably seen Billy Madison 500 times. There are a ton more I could list but those are jumping out in my head

It appears to me you don’t got it, but the stakes couldn’t be lower so it is what it is

Why do you need their help? I think it’s $165 to get the passport and it’s good for 10 years (truthfully closer to only 9 or so years as that final year certain places won’t accept your soon to expire passport). Here’s a link to the application

Still trying to figure out how to be an adult

It’s not about the arbitrary number, it’s about where the sun is when that number not dictated by me rolls around.

Again, I don’t get to set my own schedule, they’re determined by these numbers that while arbitrary, are rigid. Drop a kid off an hour late to school every day and have fun explaining that to a truancy officer, or tell your boss you’re leaving work an hour early to catch some sunlight and see how that goes.

This the new RE game?

I wish I got to set the schedule to everything in my life

The more I think about it, 8 am sunrise if we did permanent DST in late Dec/early January would be shit too. We should just split the difference, lol

4:30 sunrise in June just feels wrong to me.

I don’t need the sun to come up at 4:30 in the morning during the summer, and I am a pretty skilled runner. I’m just not a morning person.

It’s also dependent on where you live. Someone living on the easternmost part of a time zone is going to tend to want DST over standard as compared to someone living on the westernmost part. I live in the easternmost part of the Eastern US time zone and I’d pick DST if I had the choice.

I hit the same issue a couple weeks ago. I wonder if it’s tied to the Fediverse Chick thing or people who were spamming CSAM

This is reminding me of how Ars Technica recently metaphorically stepped in it in regards to AI BS in a story less than a month ago. What an information nightmare we’re wading into

Windows Central? They’re not affiliated with MS, unless they also don’t like the nickname.

Quick resume is pretty much the only thing about the Series X that has stood out for me. It’s nice being able to hop into multiple games without waiting for loads and being right back where you left off. It’s by no means a must have though. It’s way better than the PS5’s equivalent.

Windows central is reporting that the windows 12 rumor is bs. I think they went so far as to call it an AI slop fabricated story.

Yeah, I’m hoping they don’t wall that stuff off from the general PC space for business reasons.

Their emulation work is one of the few bright spots of the Xbox platform on the past decade. Things like FPS boost and Auto HDR are nice for improving older games. I’m not sure if any third party emulators can do the same, admittedly.

The PC cannot currently play non-ported Xbox games at this time, though. I get why you’re saying “just a PC” but that’s a distinction worth noting. I hope the PC platform in general will gain the ability to play all Xbox games and not just Xbox branded hardware. I also hope PCs gain the ability to use some of the features that are nice about Xbox (mainly Quick Resume).
