I’m not sure I agree this is an awful location if you’re going to make a big studio campus. It’s not in Austin atm but it will be eventually (it’s currently surrounded) and 290/183 are useful veins. You say “outside Manor” like it’s also not ~10 miles from the capitol and downtown. In LA terms that’s basically nothing.

That said, as an eastsider, yeah fuck the billionaires generally and the Ellisons specifically.

Trans? More power to you.

CIA? Go fuck yourself.

Haha, me too. I watch a streamer, Vulrhund, fight ten thousand zombies and end up in a powered bachelor pad that he built, plastered, painted and furnished over the course of an in game year…

Meanwhile I have like 500 hours and my last death was eating lethal mushrooms I foraged on day three. My best run ever was maybe 2.5 months. I’m not sure I’ve ever actually lived long enough to harvest any crops I planted.

Peter Gibbons in Office Space.

Turns out I liked the game only because of what I thought the game could be instead of what it actually was.

I never played Star Citizen, but this is kinda where I ended up with No Man’s Sky. I played it at launch and again earlier this year and there’s definitely some fun to be had but nothing fits together right, or feels fully realized. NMS lost a coherent vision of the game at some point and eventually it just made me itch to play better games that were more focused.

Fuck a movie, we need a Xena sequel series. Get Lucy Lawless and Renee O’Connor back to pass the torch to a new generation of ass kicking women.

Ideally, both of them could be regulars as well, I just don’t think they’d be down to do the fights anymore.

Totally. I had a few runs on it while it was in the unstable branch and the new mechanics are great, but firing it up after the stable release and seeing all the love put into older map locales really made it feel like a brand new game.

3 all day, every day. I can no longer sit normally, I can only lounge.

It’s basically the best virtualization platform. It can do full system emulation across a number of platforms, or hardware assisted virtualization (using KVM). It’s incredibly useful for debug as well as doing real work.

Uh, what? The Ayn Rand garbage philosophy? I’ve never heard that and don’t see how that jibes with a free, crowd sourced encyclopedia…

I like this comic but Beetle Moses needs to actually look at a tortoise, haha.

Their arms and legs don’t pop out of holes in their shells, their shells are more like wraps around their torsos (it’s a strapless dress, not a onesie). Also those scutes (panels of the shell) are fucked.

… Why yes, I’m fun at parties, why do you ask?

It does seem like a parody. Isn’t the backstory of Ebenezer Scrooge throwing his life and relationships away for profit? I can see some opportunities for showing how stupid that is, but without the epiphany moment of A Christmas Carol, will he just end the story as a bitter old man?

Or is this just a retelling of the whole story at which point it’s yet another remake that doesn’t need to be made…

I’m not quite sure what the advantage of doing it that way is

If I had to guess, it just kept the programmers from being super lazy about it. If the individual enemy AI doesn’t have exact coordinates of the player, it actually has to move around, search a space, potentially manipulate the environment, and possibly fail to find the player, versus doing what is effectively an idle animation while waiting for the player to step out of cover.

I’m with you. She’s especially great at physical comedy. Reminds me a lot of Lucille Ball in I Love Lucy. Not to mention, she’s a complete 90s fashion icon.

Her later work as president of the Screen Actor’s Guild showing solidarity and striking with the writers made me a fan before I ever watched the show.

American people have plenty of empathy and compassion, what they don’t have is literally anyone else to call.

If you have an emergency, you call 911 and as soon as they hear the word “gun” cops are the only outcome. Maybe in some universe a person has some foresight in case of a suicidal person with a gun and can look up local resources or something, but until we have something built into emergency services for this, panicked people are going to do the one thing they can think of when someone needs help.

Complete non-story. The Deck has been out for years for this verification to mature and it’s usually less about specs (in the age of FSR/DLSS etc.) and more about “can this game be played with this control scheme comfortably” which is not an issue for the Steam Machine since it’s just a PC.

So, the answer to the question “Can Linux directly host another Unix-like operating system’s binary interface?” at the moment is “partly, experimentally, and impressively.”

As if there was any question on that? You can have Linux “handle” Windows PE binaries by telling it to invoke wine, dealing with a Unix-like scenario is a much lower bar.

The question is who is this useful for? FreeBSD has the Linux compatibility layer because it’s playing catch up to Linux, but the Venn diagram of stuff FreeBSD can do but Linux can’t is tiny, especially if extra special kernel feature stuff is stubbed.

Can anyone name a project that is BSD first, doesn’t rely on BSD kernel features, doesn’t have a native Linux port, and isn’t a distro tool?

I’d vote for AOC a thousand times harder than for Newsom. I’m not sure she actually wants the position though, she’s potentially got a long career as a rep (or senator) in front of her and could probably turn into a Presidential candidate in any cycle, but having a major legislative win is bigger than that, according to her

Bari Weiss is a disgusting hack, and laughably unqualified, but being a news outlet editor is way more complicated than just rubber stamping factual reporting. Editors allocate resources - from writers and photographers/crews to even start a story, to how the front page is divvied up, how stories are promoted, how many column inches (or words, or minutes) a topic gets.

Point being that there are definitely feelings involved. Even if it’s one story is more interesting than another, or we’ve covered this topic more than enough lately, or this story is factual but not adding anything new, etc. etc. etc. It’s a hard job, and more subjective than you’d think, so I don’t blame her for being defensive when she’s literally the worst editor to ever hold a national news desk down.

AOC had to walk so Mamdani could run. Not only proving DSA candidates were electable, but also that they could actually do the job by being pragmatic (for better or worse).
