Nobody is except one person. It's Mr Rogers in a blood stained sweater.

You see, "how are you?" Isn't a genuine quotation, it's just a way of saying "hello" and feigning interest in someone's well-being. In all actual fact, nobody gives a shit.

Just say "fine" and move on.

No. You and your fellow citizens voted for this.

I'm not sure who they were trying to fool? Bluntly, if you're keeping your passwords in a local repo using strong encryption via something like keepass, you're generally not the kind of person to see "KeePassXE Pro ultra mega best edition" and blindly download it without vetting the source....

Ohhhh. Alright. I misunderstood.

Thank you for this.

Doom 2? From 1994?

I should play that game again

You're saying that this has been reposted for longer than their marriage lasted?

Seems about right.

You're clearly joking, but for the unaware, "Uber" is a crowdsource taxi/rideshare service. An "Uber pool" is similar to a carpool. Where you share the vehicle with other riders. Making the "Uber" vehicle, aka, someone else's car, into what is essentially a bus.

I've heard rumors that Uber is even talking about having drivers run a set route.... Like buses do.

We've come full circle.

First, I can't afford a new computer or even a new graphics card. All these "gaming on a budget" type things are all priced in USD, and I'm in Canada after conversion and the Canada tax, local shops are selling it for a lot more.... I can only imagine that going up with the tariffs.

Second, graphics ain't shit. Look at some of the most popular games around and some of them have the "worst" graphics. I don't mean to pick on any game in specific, but I'll mention two notable examples: the first is Minecraft. Square voxels and pretty basic visuals all around. Easily one of the most popular titles of all time. I don't play it, but I get it. The other example I want to point to is schedule I. Honestly the graphics in the game, when compared to the nearly realistic content that games like assassin's Creed has, and it's basically trash by comparison. The game is huge and hugely popular. The graphics, or lack thereof, is not a detractor from how fun the game is.

Don't get me wrong. High graphics can contribute to a good game; and therein lies the problem. You need to have a good game that you can apply the graphics to, in order for it to be valuable. If you take away the graphics and replace the visuals with something far more basic, and the game loses its appeal, your game sucks. Fix that first, then try again.

I have a pretty massive collection of steam titles that I'm planning to play as things start to devolve into higher and higher specs for basically no gains. Like ray tracing, it's cool, looks good... But I don't need it to have fun in a game. I usually turn it off because it compromises performance for basically no real gain. Sure, shadows look a bit more shit, and lights aren't as glowy, but I don't care about that. I just want to play. Why is RT a requirement for some games now? The hell?

Anyways. High graphics are better in more cinematic games, but publishers have gotten so obsessed with making cinematic content that they forgot to include a game with it.

Give me more substance, more character development, more scenes, not just action.

Hold up. Rewind.

They used to assign fault during a divorce? What the hell?

Why was that ever a thing?

I'm with you, either lawful or chaotic neutral is the way. Everyone else is trying to hard or not trying hard enough.

It's 7 bits....

Pay attention. 🤪
