i feel like their non dessert breads are probably a bigger part of their business, especially with b2b customers. I bet they have a lot of restaurant contracts and stuff.

i might have preferred a ballistic knife if we're being weird anyway.

eh, you were born just in time to be a YouTube star. you just missed your boat.

the post 2000s are normal now. what came before is no more normal now than what came before that. it's just the past now. it was a different way for things to be that will likely never be again. just like we'll never be medieval again.

I know this is almost a stereotypical answer, but the Witcher 3. because after that game i went and read through all the books. so if i got to re experience it would be the difference of finding siri after 100 hours of gameplay and finding siri after 5000 hours of story. "find siri' is Geralt's primary motivation throughout the books. i can only imagine how satisfying and emotional that scene would feel for the first time with the weight of the books behind it.

what it he just says "you can't" he's giving truths, not wishes.

at least in America most people generally seem to look down on spending any time on anything that doesn't make money. even if you don't actually need any more money. the only worthwhile thing in much of society's eyes is climbing that ladder.

Oh ikr? that's been killing me the entire run of snw.

hey now, there's also goat milk among others.

oh i was just making a joke about modern games being buggy at launch, making this clearly a modern game.

I've got a really unscientific answer that feels good in my head.

culture is so deeply ingrained and large that only two things could change it:

1: slow change from within

2: war/genocide

cults on the other hand are small enough and new enough and not deeply enough ingrained. it feels possible to defeat them in the "marketplace of ideas" as it were.

even if that's not quite true, even if it's not actually easier to argue can against scientology. it feels like it should be.

that's why there's such a difference in criticism too. because it comes down to "well what do you think should be done about it then?" it's pretty clear that you can't argue a person out of such a deeply rooted cultural belief.

also, it's about who you're criticizing in relation to yourself. a white person living in America has way more ground to stand on calling another white American out for having bad beliefs and practices. this is because you can understand where they come from and the culture around them

ultimately there is no concrete "good" and "bad". for you to enforce your idea of that onto a people who universally agree that your "good" is actually bad then you're the bad guy no matter how right you think you are. no matter how much your people think you're right for what you do that's cultural imperialism/plain old regular imperialism.

hey man, this is clearly a brand new game. have you seen the bugs?

that might work for some people if the attack had been on enemy combatants and not a music festival and population center.

I don't like the way Israel treats Palestine either, but this was deplorable.

I'd start with any torrent that you ever struggled to get seeders for. then i like to try and hit some kinda older classic type stuff that i like and want others to see as well. tough to give any other thoughts without knowing what you DO like to torrent lol. only knowing what you don't doesn't get us far.

hmm, I mean, the law does explicitly mention discrimination based on ancestry. the caste system is just a structure of ancestral discrimination. one could argue that caste is interchangeable with ancestry for the purpose of this law. i can see why he wouldn't want a different law to ban every synonym and foreign language word for a thing that's already banned.

didn't say he needed a 4090 lol. no one needs a4 4090, it's ridiculous and way way overpriced card. the top end is never worth it. that 4090 well be matched by a 6070tii in like 4 years for like a 5th the price.

i said he needed closer to the top, more like a 4070, or a 3070 ti. 40 series is pretty not worth it. (only referencing nvidia because their naming scheme is easier to follow)

also, this is all speculative. just as i can't claim to KNOW what will be needed, neither can you. my prediction is that those specs well leave him struggling at low -medium on new games in 5 years. you can't claim to know that the hardware will be fine that long any more than i can claim that it won't. it's just a prediction and that's the best anyone can offer.

this is a very volatile and uncertain time in the future of pc hardware. my real advice is not to try that hard to predict 5 years from now.

yeah, I'm gonna disagree with this guy. that's definitely not going to get you that performance for 5 years. that will get you that now on most, but not all games at Max. if you want 120 high 1440 for 5 years you need close to the highest end offered now.

that said, this community is probably the most amd focused place I've ever seen. the debate between amd and Nvidia isn't nearly as cut and died as they want to make it seem. even if they are mad at nvidia for real reasons. right now nvidia is not chasing traditional rendering at all. so amd is winning when it comes to that, but that's not where nvidia says the future is. nvidia is building their cards around their objectively superior, even if proprietary, upscaling technology (dlss). so for the next 5 years at least, nvidia will be pushing it's massive anti competitive weight into making dlss the way of the future. into making sure games are made with performance targets exprecting the use of dlss.

so honestly, a big part of this decision that no one here will tell you is whether you want to fight for what you believe should be the future of gaming, or you accept that nvidia will just do whatever regardless of how many foss heads scream about it.

oh idk, if his kids grew up and continued his legacy we'd probably be better off. this was the work of corporations that existed before him and their greed.

depends on what you consider crime. if we go by actual money stolen through wage theft or unpayed taxes, then corporate America simply is the criminals.

who do you think is using literally anything else other than tech people?
