The fog is coming.

There's no way that's her real account - she barely has a social media presence, idk if she was even on Reddit.

Webp is a more modern image standard built for the web. Gif has major limitations, and animated gifs are actually bigger in size and worse quality than video files - these days, very few gifs you see on the web are actually .gif files. A while back imgur started converting them to mp4 behind the scenes.

Webp was built with animation in mind, so it works like gif and with much better file size. Even though it's relatively new it should have decent support in most programs that have been updated in the last few years - so you shouldn't necessarily have to jump through hoops to use it.

Theoretically it wouldn't be that hard to do a basic bounding box check - just loop through each vertex and make sure it's within the bonds.

Of course players could still use a model that goes right up to that bounding box, so they might get a slight advantage, but if the collision stays the same it might not be that helpful.

The companies he took over after they were were founded?

Gonna boost this on mastodon.

For that get a toothpick and just dig around in there. Same for the charging port if the connection is loose when plugged in.

This is completely fucked. Start a new chess game in b8.

There's a dance number where some guys give (main) ken a kiss on the cheek. That's all I can think of.

Alright, fair point.

You'd all still complain about them milking the series if they made a bunch more sequels instead.

There's a singleplayer game with a similar concept, Time Rifters

Sometimes I get tired.

You're forgetting economies of scale. Let's take phone plans. A few giant companies have infrastructure (cell towers) built across the country. Coverage is extremely important - a phone plan with coverage in a small area isn't anything anyone will want. How is a third party supposed to compete? They'd need enough money to set up nation-wide infrastructure, contracts with phone manufacturers to make sure phones are compatable, and they need to do all that before they even sell anything. Even if you try to compete, how do you make your prices competitive after spending that huge amount of money?

Are they really subversions? A pure capitalist society is determined purely by incentives and the rules of economy (supply and demand and such). If it's in a business's best interest to do something unethical, they will do it. They will band together to price fix, they'll collaborate to pay workers the bare minimum, they'll create monopolys and duopolies to get the most money possible, because in a capitalist society, money is the #1 incentive. Government regulations are anti-capitalist policies to prevent these things from happening - although maybe not as effectively as they should be, given how things are.

Yeah that's big area that's shaky with proton. Fortunately a few games have been adding support (halo MCC recently did). And for me, I typically only play singleplayer games - the most modern multiplayer game I play is titanfall 2 which works great on Linux.

But for someone who does play those games, I can see how the lack of them can be a huge obstacle.

Yeah keeping windows on a separate disk is a good idea. I was going to do too that but I fucked up a dd command and somehow broke the original installation... So I just said fuck it and went full Linux.

I switched last year and kind of was in a similar spot to you - I had tried to switch in the past but something didn't work so I went back to windows. But that last attempt has stuck. So I'd just do it. Proton is in an amazing state, old games and even most new singleplayer games will work - some modern multiplayer games with anticheat even work. I'd just check your library on protondb (you can sign in to see your library), see what doesn't work, if you care about it, or if there are workarounds.

What I also did is make a list of stuff that doesn't work and then find alternatives or workarounds. If some games don't work, you can hold off on switching, check protondb occasionally and see if something changes. But if it's all good, I'd just make the jump.

On steam it's basically just a toggle. Maybe setting the proton version in the game's properties. For non steam games, launchers like heroic can even detect and use the proton versions you installed through steam, so you don't ever need to really do any setup yourself.
