Gamers are the biggest reason for the decline of the games industry. Entitled half-aware idiots demanding features that give them bigger and bigger hits of dopamine have driven the entire industry into the ground. The celebration of toxicity in the community hasn't helped a damn thing, either.

Man, purple felt exceedingly easy today. I'm a little disappointed in myself for not getting yellow right away, since all of those bands show up in my regular rotation.

It was, yeah. A lot of the infrastructure was still standing from when it was Oculus so it felt super detached from everything else.

As for the 80B, I can confidently say that a solid chunk of that went to software licenses, believe it or not. They were spending millions a year on their on-prem GitHub Enterprise server alone, which was technically redundant because the rest of Meta had an in-house Mercurial megarepo that, surprisingly, worked really well. They may have moved off of that by now, though, since I was last employed there in 2024.

Does Armored Core count as a souls game? The newest one kinda felt souls-ish, but the combat feels so different to me that I have trouble including it in the genre.

If it does count, then that's literally the only one I've ever been able to tolerate.

Yes. Life gets in the way sometimes.

Can Superman breathe underwater? Does he even need to breathe in the first place?

Man, I was having a good day, too...

The only IPO I ever jumped on was ARM Holdings, and that actually ended up doubling within a couple weeks. Made a tidy profit on it, then dumped it when it plateaued.

Yeah high 50s is actually excellent for a CPU under load...

I'm not sure what you mean. It already had complete dominance of the smartphone market, which was, at the time, still growing.

Here's hoping it goes as well as their phone did.

The Intel Panther Lake chips apparently approach the same kind of battery life as the M-series chips, so the newer XPS machines actually look like a worthwhile competitor that's capable of running Linux.

EDIT: The Framework 13 Pro also has a panther lake chip and promises pretty beastly battery life, so if OP is willing to wait, that might be a good alternative as well.

I suspect those incorrect answers are there on purpose to get people to make accounts to correct them.

SSE2 is plenty, thank you very much.

Some of the fancier microwaves have steam sensors that will detect when it's perfectly done, too. I have one but I haven't tried it yet.

Oh I see what you mean. Yeah that's a fair point.

I used to work for a company that would do mandatory fun every Thursday at lunch. It was one of the least enjoyable things I've ever experienced at work.

Usually Gartic Phone, but it was a very uptight company so playing that with my coworkers made it utterly impossible to do anything funny.

I disagree. Being able to slap the windows key and type the name of the program I'm looking for is one of my favorite features of both Gnome and KDE and I wish Windows worked similarly.
