I used to be a frame rate snob but owning a Steam Deck has made me realise the error of my ways

I don't like this line of thinking because especially now where new games seem to always suffer from performance issues, it lowers the bar that these developers feel like they'd need to set as far as the experience they're offering for their games.

I think the minimum standard should be at least 60fps, in cases with steam deck and other low-end hardware of course concessions must be made, so either lower graphics settings or deal with lower framerates.

But there's no reason a new game should be suffering poor framerates on modern desktop hardware (looking at you Dragons Dogma 2).

Pelosi will seek reelection

It's time for nationwide term limits. You get to serve your term and do what you'd like, then give the reins over to the next person. Sick of all these fucking old ghouls who cling onto their positions of power like it's a fucking philosophers stone for them.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. It literally only exists on a single desktop environment and even then it's practically beta. On my TV it just shows everyhing as green and purple when I enable HDR.

I love linux and want it to keep improving but man people need to stop circlejerking linux so much when it comes to people using windows when it suits their needs

[404 Media] When Does Instagram Decide a Nipple Becomes Female?

Reply in thread

Biological sex != gender. There's not even 2 classes of biological sex. There are men born with biological female organs and women born with biologically men's organs. We all as humans do share common organs, one of which happens to be the nipple.

Regardless of what your actual biological sex is a gender is simply a social construct used to identify someone. A person who is "non-binary" feels that their gender does not conform to what you would typically expect of either male or female based on appearances or behavior.

McDonald's sales are slumping because people can't afford fast-food

Im no longer going to mcdonalds because the wait times are insane. The inside staff are low staffed. If you order inside it will most likely take 20 minutes to get your food. If you're in drive through, they just tell you to pull into one of the numbered spots, and then eventually you might get your food.

They took the "fast" out of fast food and made it ridiculously expensive. So no, I'm not going to spend $10 on a meal thats going to take half an hour to make when I can just go to a sit down restaurant and get a much better burger for $12

Honestly this is what I don't understand about her, especially when her words and attitude go directly against the themes that the books she wrote outlined. For example, Hermione being called slurs like mudblood and the other characters sticking up for her. Hagrid who has to live with himself as part giant and is considered a threat by most of the wizarding world, but those who are close and know him, know that hes a kind hearted person.

In almost every instance where a character has to deal with something about themselves that's different than the others, the lesson is that everyone should always accept who they are and that they're valid in being who or what they are.

Instead in real life she just ignores all of this and just acts like a disgusting piece of shit, and you have to wonder how she even wrote these books when she lives her days talking and acting like this.
