Not only that but it also intentionally starts with a lower case s. It's almost like it's purposefully engineered to be as irritating a title as possible.

Mine hasn't gotten much use lately because the steamdeck itself has indirectly usurped it but man I love my steam controller. It's genuinely the best controller ever made for certain types of games. I find it very difficult to play FPS games without it (or the steamdeck) due to getting so used to gyro aiming with the capacitive touch sensors. My only real gripe with it is the subpar build quality. They've learned a lot since then in terms of hardware manufacturing so I can't wait for them to put out a new steam controller.

'Could' is doing a whole lot of heavy lifting there.

Honestly nationalism for the US has always been kinda gross to me. We've never really had much to be proud of as a nation historically.

I've been kinda wanting the progressives to split off from dems for a while now but honestly the shitty dems splitting off from progressives is probably better. Let the people that actually want to do right by their constituents keep the democratic party. All those "center left" people can go create their bullshit third party and fuck off. You won't hear me complain.

While that's definitely true it's not like there are any streaming platforms paying artists what they actually deserve. Other streaming services do payout slightly more per stream but they also don't have the number of paying users Spotify has. So you're likely going to make more off of spotify than any other service even if they do payout less per stream.

Not defending spotify though. Them and the record labels are absolute scum. Just making the point that if you want artists to benefit from you listening to their music just buy their music outright. Or go see them live if you can. Don't stream it. Because streaming pays basically nothing no matter where you stream it from.

Um, good?

Wait, the authors argued that? Why? That's literally the opposite of the thing they needed to argue.

The idea that he doesn't know how to properly use his own social media platform is honestly hilarious.

Heavily depends on where you live. I live near a big city on the east coast in a largely Blue state. I have 1 gig FiOS internet (up and down). In my area Comcast and Verizon compete for customers so our speeds here are alright. But there are plenty of areas in the US that have absolutely abysmal internet. Either because the area is rural so not much infrastructure has been built up or because the ISP in that area holds a monopoly on the market and doesn't have to increase speeds to keep their customers. I've heard horror stories of people being stuck with like sub 10mbps because there are just no other options.

Might not be my favorite music in the show but my favorite story about the music in the show.

I forget where I heard it but I listened to the creator of the show talk about making the intro song and he ended up doing something that I both admire a lot and find genuinely hilarious.

If you're a musician you may have experienced or be familiar with the idea of chasing the demo. If not, a quick definition is trying to recapture the vibe or quality of an initial rough recording when you're laying down final professionally recorded takes.

When the creator was trying to figure out an intro for the show he was screwing around on his ukulele just trying to find like a fun chord progression. He found one he liked and quickly recorded it on his phone. The plan was to just use that recording as a jumping off point he would take and flesh out with more "serious" instruments and recording techniques later on. The thing was, nothing they did captured how that initial phone recording felt. Now, This isn't abnormal. It happens all the time in fact. Normally youd just suck it up and get as close as you can while maintaining the quality of your recordings. Because you just can't use a cruddy recording on a professional production. After all, nobody outside of who made the song will know that you failed to match the exact vibes of your rough phone recording. So they did the most logical thing and used the low quality phone recording as the FOUNDATION FOR THE FINAL INTRO.

And when you listen you can totally tell. Especially if youre like me and have recorded an untold number of rough takes on your phone over the years. It's clearly a phone recording riddled with those telltale phone recording artifacts.

But y'know what? He was right. It totally works. It's frankly a great intro and I couldn't imagine the show with a different one.

"Y'know, Barrack kinda looked sharp in that tan suit."

Truman Show. Carey is the non Muppet. Or maybe his "best friend" that might be funnier.

Nvidia, Intel, and AMD are all American companies. Yes, their GPUs are manufactured by TSMC in Taiwan but they just follow the designs given to them. The layout of these GPUs and the architecture of the chips are all designed and controlled by these American corporations.

Specifically for ps3 emulation you would benefit from having as good a cpu as possible.

An R5 2600 is listed as D tier on the rpcs3 CPU tier list.

Anecdotally thats the same cpu I use in my windows media computer in my living room. I've tried to do ps3 emulation on it quite a bit. It's a little hit and miss but mostly miss. I can somewhat get away with playing easy to run games but anything even remotely difficult to run is unplayably slow. And I've got an RTX 3060 ti in that. That GTX 1660 is not going to help things.

She was like 50 so I doubt it lol

Crazy to me that this is still going around. I remember hearing this myth back when I was in middle school almost 20 years ago.

Its almost certainly untrue and probably racist. Though there are women named Ladasha fully spelled out.

I had a customer once at an old job whose name was spelled Deborah. Seems completely normal until she got super mad at me for calling her "Debra" because I was somehow supposed to know her name was pronounced "Deb-Or-Ah". With the "Or" being stressed.

How long until trump posts this on Truth?
