You could try The Witcher 1. Gameplay there is…unique. A little dated today but IMO has the best writing of the three.

Selling price can go up because of greed too.
Tariffs can be the excuse.
They dont need to pay them if they know which dick to suck.
This is what Im pondering. Is this possible in trumps america?

I never thought about it but… what are the chances they don’t have to pay tariffs on import? They raise prices because “tariffs”, but don’t actually pay them. I mean, tariffs are payed to the government by the importer. Trump is technically the mafia. What mechanisms are in place that would prohibit Wallmart from sucking Trumps cock in exchange for getting a secret special 0% import tax license?

They are the biggest corporation. Rules don’t necessarily apply at that level. Trump would certainly listen to any proposition they may have.

Maybe they’re yo-yoing a turd… in the doggy position… naked on the bed… for some reason.

But that’s just the kernel…
gets thrown out of window too

That tracks.

But, is there a method to the madness? Or are they just assholes? Are they voting the biggest idiot because they dont live there and want to watch their country burn (assholes) or do they somehow benefit here?

It is a good thing to have competition. The hate is because they are doing things people don’t generally like. Exclusivity deals for one thing. Epic can’t really compete with steam because they are too far behind on features, so they resort to exclusivity deals which aren’t really good for any consumer. One could argue it is the fault of publishers taking them, but that is just looking at it from a purely business perspective. As a consumer, I don’t really care about the business side… I don’t profit from it. So I don’t really wonder why gamers are mad at epic for it.

Cant even look at these cases anymore. Its the <20L ITX life for me.

I tuck and put in breadbox. Naked in breadbox doesnt last long and it dries out. Tuck is easy to do, to undo and gets the job done as good as anything else when combined with a breadbox.

Simple economy actually. Supply exceeds demand, value on the market is lower.
On the stock market, you can do all kinds of fuckery to gain from this.

Alright, I need to move my main desktop to linux. Help me decide which distribution. Note that I already run a desktop-less server on Debian, a raspi on their flavor of deb and have a laptop I rarely use on fedora (installed it to test the waters, but Mint would probably suit its use case more).

My main desktop PC is on windows and I wanna switch but im not sure which distro to switch to. The thing needs to be gaming ready for 2024 hardware. Debian is too slow to update for such a use case, I dont jive with Ubuntu philosophy, Arch is… im just not that kind of guy… so Im leaning on Fedora but I kinda dont like that it has 100 updates every time I boot it up. Is there any in between? Stable and quick with updates, but not when updates can crash the thing?

Edit: thanks for the recommendations, I’ll probably check em all out!

If they are truly conservative, they would prefer Gulf Of Mexico, since changing a long standing name is change, not being conservative and leaving it as it is.

Out of the city, no kids, family home, lower standards, minimalist lifestyle. Pick one, or two, or all. The more of these you pick, the less you need.

Generally yes, and this obviously doubles the cost of storage. The good thing is you have options. In my view, not all data is the same so I view some data as more valuable as other data and can do backups of only specific things on drives I already have.

Looks like prices are up a bit, I got a portable 5tb one for 100 a year ago. Now they are more like 125. I’m seeing a 6tb refurbished one for 100 though.

File name file system! Looks like we broke the universe! Wait, why is my MFT so large?!

I get it, Henry David Thoreau also didn’t pay taxes because his government was using them to fight a war he didn’t support. Its gonna depend on the country. If you can’t vote what the taxes pay for, they are more akin to gangster style extortion.

Just wanted to give an idea for pricing of a self hosted alternative:

• 5-6TB drive is around 100 EUR
• Intel NUC as a server is around 200 EUR
• My personal power consumption is 6 kWh per month at 24/7 operation, here that costs 10 EUR per year

You can chose other parts, you may already have some parts, Im giving my own example here.
Keeping in mind you need to be a bit tech savy to set this up, keep it updated, data secure, things may break down the line and require maintenance, etc… The upside: the data is yours, you are reliant on yourself, it can do more than just store files.
But obviously: to each their own!
