Half of America’s Cities Are Depopulating. We Could Be Headed for a Ghost Town Era.
I live in a city and it sucks and I cannot wait to get back to the burbs. I don't live in downtown, so it is not walkable, despite it being a dense area. So I pay more, own less, and do less than if I was back in the burbs. I have no idea why anyone over the age of 25 wants to live in a city. I cannot fathom being an elderly person living in a city. How do you put up with that? I absolutely cannot stand it. I'm glad I tried it, because now I know for sure how much I despise it. I'm not even 30 yet.

Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open
Reply in thread
I have friends who only have consoles. This is who I think should be looking at this. People like me who wanted a second PC for the living room may pass on this because of the price, though. I don't need a second PC that bad. But for my people with no PC, no monitors, no keyboards, this is pretty decent. Not to mention the it's an alright deal when pricing out a build yourself.

Sure, it's a huge jump. But it's also a mostly lateral jump if you already have a PS5 or Xbox. That's why I specifically state that this is for people who have a console but no PC. Software availability semantics aside, BeamNG coming to PS5 makes my desire to have one of these in the living room close to zero now. Unless it can run Cities Skylines 2.

Windows 11 hibernation has been silently hammering your SSD this whole time
Might explain why, for like a decade now, my computer will never stay asleep or in hibernation or whatever the hell. Always just wakes up by itself. Luckily SSDs are so fast that I just turn the thing off when I'm not using it now, but it's still annoying.

TIL about springfield
TIL people didn't know there are tons of Springfields. Unless you're not from the US, of course, then you obviously get a pass.

A Loss To The World - Legendary Doom Wolfenstein 3D Composer Bobby Prince Has Passed Away
I was about to say he wasn't even that old. But 81, damn. I love his stories on Doom. He had never really done any metal before which is why so many of the tracks are similar to real songs. Also Into Sandy's City being done with piano until he set it to a harpsichord as a joke and bam, instantly iconic. Like most of his work at the time, really. RIP to one of the guys that gave me the music taste I have today.

Gamers Lose It After 007 First Light Demands Hardware That Doesn’t Exist in System Requirements: 'Remember When Games Were Optimized?'
Reply in thread
Huh. So if games are just horribly optimized and hardware costs a fortune, it will push more people to cloud/streaming their games. The corporations just keep winning. What a wonderful timeline we live in.

TIL: Besides offering a free compromised email check, haveibeenpwned.com also offers a free password compromise checking service (It's also fun to see what weird passwords have been used/leaked.)
I don't know if I want to be putting my passwords in to something like this lol

They don't care. I've tried with Vanced, blockers, DNS, everything. They'd rather just watch the ads. Blows my balls off.

GOG's new owner says Steam is winning due to ease of use, not quality, while criticizing the platform for releasing hundreds of games daily that are "not super high quality"
Didn't Gabe say this like 15 years ago?
Piracy is not a price issue, it's an availability issue. Steam makes it so easy to just... buy a game.
