I definitely had windows make some change at least twice that skipped grub on subsequent boots altogether.

Yes. It should also pay for rent and groceries for the workers it’s replacing.

Never pre-order.

Balder’s Gate.

I have questions.

Are there gonna be 3 levels now? (Real time battle, planetary overworld, space over-overworld)?

Are the space marines gonna march in a phalanx formation?

Which space marine is gonna be the princess?

Uuuuh, that’s a wishlist.

in the event of like complete societal collapse or hyperinflation, they could use it for purchasing.

They are going to learn that you can’t eat gold. It has next to no purpose other than looking pretty, and that’s not going to matter much anymore in one of these events. It’s value is as speculative as any other.

Puts are a derivative that is a contract for the right to buy an asset at a given price (the “strike price”) on a given Date.

Puts are rights to sell, not to buy. And with that, the rest of your post actually makes sense (you want to sell above market price).

We’ve thought that many times. But any time we reach the perceived limits, riskier or harder to get to sources just become economically viable to exploit.

Ah. The Disney defense.

It’s supposed to guarantee you can always catch up with them.

Anything that needlessly makes me repeat content I already beat or similarly wastes my time. Some examples are:

Fixed save points in general.

Unskippable cutscenes between the last fixed save point and the boss fight.

No autosave or fixed save point after a boss fight.

Preventing me from backtracking after I stumbled into a cut scene and/or boss fight because it wasn’t obvious which path led to a point of no return.

Oh, and no Play Station style controller glyphs. Come on, it’s an additional set of images, now hard can it be to implement?

So, am I the only one with terrible performance when booting from USB? Really long input lag, loading times, all that. I figured it wasn’t a big deal for installing once and occasional troubleshooting, but it’s not really representative of the normal experience booting from my ssd.

Maybe Gemini threatens the Google board? It could make their AI anime girlfriends break up with them.

Clair Obscur was all anybody gaming related talked about for weeks.

Why would they sell any hardware at a loss at all? Console manufacturers do it to lock people into their ecosystem and sell them games at a premium, Valve doesn’t need that, people are already overwhelmingly favoring their store.

Games used to be sold as a physical object containing the game files.

I can do that today too. I can buy from gog, download the installer an burn it to a DVD. I now own a physical object with the game files that gog or the game publisher can not easily take away from me. I’d still just own a license, not the game, and the license can be revoked. They just couldn’t really keep me from playing the game even after it was.

You need to understand the difference between having something in your possession and having the rights to it. You never owned any video game, even in the days of cartridges, they were always licenses.

Every controller I own (dual shocks, dual senses, 8bitdo’s, switch pros) lasts me an entire day of gaming at least. Plug them in at night and you’re good.

Is SMR somehow more expensive than older reactors per Watt?

Of course it is. Same fixed costs (e.g. safety, security) for less output. Economics of scale work against it, not for it, the same way one bus for 50 people is cheaper than 50 cars.

I’m on a 1080TI and Mint works like a charm.
