That's why I smoke. Can't inhale unhealthy ambient air if I'm the one actively poisoning it myself!

Ahh, the era in human history where people actually changed opinions upon being offered conflicting facts to their viewpoints. Truly the pinnacle of human ingenuity. Until we let it be destroyed by social media.

"Hey guys I'm going to reboot the application server so the VPN tunnel should be available again in a few minutes"

-Random 1800's person: "Qué?"

I felt the same way after being handed a corp full admin account over the datacenter. Like "I wouldn't give my car keys to a toddler, but here I am..."

Damn, this is with everything on max at 4K with DLSS & Framegen?

Why bother? I'm sure for the right price it's for sale. Might require a trip to the Mar-a-Lago bathroom though.

Send 'em all our way (EU) I'm sure we'll find a use for it.

I must admit, it's not "just" a remaster, but they somehow managed to capture the spirit of '06 when this first came out PERFECTLY. Picture this: I was still in college and studying at home when Oblivion was finally released. I had been waiting for it for a long time (to my young mind back then) and I remember it was a perfectly beautiful, sunny day and I was home alone with no obvious way to get to a game store.

So I asked my elderly neighbor if I could borrow her clunker of a car for "an errand" and drove over an hour to the nearest game shop.

From the game itself I mostly remember how drop-dead gorgeous everything seemed - and how terrible my PC's performance was back then, especially in outdoors areas.

Today, I experienced the exact same form of awe, followed by the most gorgeous graphics I could imagine, and... 15 fps outdoors. EXACTLY how things used to be when I was a young man.

Magic. Truly a win for Bethesda (after Starfield). Now all I need is a PC who can actually run the damn thing on high with over 60 FPS.

I wonder if they still tap the dead pope three times with a silver hammer to check if they're really dead?

Nonde godver

Amen. Added to that I have an extremely common name (both actually) so even if someone were to find that out, they'd still have to sift my shit from all my doppelgangers'.

I was so excited. Until I saw it's going to be UE5. Ah well, Skyblivion it is for me then.

Yeah, that's called an invasion.

The enshittification/rent seeking continues. Nothing is sacred.

I think we have to entertain the very real possibility that most of these judges are under duress. I bet some of them received a few pictures or videos of themselves or their family members during candid moments...

I think you'd be surprised how many of us truly have no one. I'm lucky but I have known others who never were.

Important distinction as well. If you don't hold it, you don't own it. "Paper" gold is 100% useless in any kind of crisis.

Gold is going to go through the roof soon. Probably last chance to get any before it becomes unaffordable completely.

When I found out my GF was being unfaithful in high school, it damn near killed me. When I found out the exact same thing of my SO at age 22, living together, I felt like you do now. Indifferent. I did feel betrayed and I did leave her (duh) but emotionally, it never really registered the way you would expect it to. I assume this is a human self-preservation mind trick that the "lucky" ones among us experience in these harrowing situations.

Regardless, my condolences. I know no one died, but eventually it will feel sort of like it.

I honestly believe VH will be the first because of his "audacity". I 100% hope to be wrong though.
