Flatten it though, ffs

Mint. It started as the beginner friendly distro and it’s becoming the “main” distro as of late.

This is the reason I stopped playing pubg and I couldn’t get my head round it either. In theory people may enjoy it more because it’s easier to win, and who doesn’t like winning? Yes it’s not a real win against bots but the bots are a secret so maybe it feels like a real win?

But it’s obvious that you’re against bots. If people enjoy playing against bots why not just include a bot mode?

I see a few possible reasons

1. Most people are ignorant to the bots. They play a few games, they win, they’re happy. They don’t realise they only had 4 humans in their lobby.

2. People eventually realise they’re against bots but the devs are stupid. They did some focus groups and detected people being happy. These people would have eventually realised they’re against bots and hated it but the focus groups didn’t detect that. Like a pepsi challenge.

3. Blissful ignorance? People kind of know they’re against bots but turn a blind eye and wins still feel good. They wouldn’t play a specific 100% bot mode because they want a “real win”

Yknow that “not the bees” bit is a deleted scene. Imagine my disappointment when I watched the entire film and it wasn’t in there.

Although the scenes of him dressed as a bear made up for it. https://youtu.be/YyigAW-14w0

Right, I’ve been waiting for somebody to say this. You come in here with your smarmy attitude “you can just hold it down you know 😏”. How many computers have you tried this on? I’ve tried it on one. Once. And it didn’t work. I looked like a FOOL because I trusted some idiot on the internet. So fuck you I’m not doing it again. I’m going to repeatedly smash F2 and Del and maybe F12. Like God intended.

Obviously Under Siege and Executive Decision are both legitimately good films so I don’t think they count. There are some films which can be enjoyable and have their charm, I’d include Out For Justice, Fire Down Below, Exit Wounds and Half Past Dead in this category. If you want to watch a bad film and laugh, my go-to is General Commander.

Love the bonus fact! I’m definitely bringing this up at our next Seagalathon

I write a few notes at the end of each film. It helps when we’re trying to remember e.g. “which film had the giant fish tank with naked women in a restaurant?”

Anyway, Exit Wounds:

This is the start of Seagal being black. Good tiddy bar scene.

Lots of decent scenes involving people who aren’t Seagal. Story was almost decent with a twist with DMX being a good guy

Seagal blows up a helicopter by shooting it with a pistol.

Great credit scene: “I love big women. If you want to feel the heat, you gotta have the meat”

I’ve got a small group of friends and we’ve watched every single Steven Seagal film. You might think it sounds fun. “So-bad-it’s-good!”. Well, there’s a limit. Some films are truly truly awful to watch. Sometimes they genuinely leave us all in a slump. We had to make a rule that we never watch 2 Seagal films in one day because it’s too much for our mental health. My partner doesn’t understand why we do it. I don’t understand why we do it.

We’re currently watching them all again

Here’s a decent article

There’s a lot of negativity from armchair experts in this thread but this seems like a genuine case of somebody putting a lot of thought and a lot of effort into actually helping the homeless. It’s not just dropping a bunch of tiny houses and saying “job done”.

I remember playing Assault on the Control Room on Halo 1 and one of the doors glitched and didn’t unlock. I must have walked around those hallways for hours trying to work out where I was supposed to go

I’m the htopopotamus, my processes are bottomless

You fool you just typed it and spoiled your experiment

I’m part of those people. The usual argument is that everybody’s phone is listening all the time, without agreeing to permissions or showing the mic notification or anything like that. I’ve never seen any proof of that. This article is about a bunch of shovelware apps (Pool 3D, Beer pong: Trickshot, Honey Quest etc) that aren’t even listed anymore. There’s nothing about them skirting permissions or hiding the notification.

People see the headline and assume it’s Facebook et al.

Sorry I think I’d agree. No argument for us today :(

What’s your most controversial opinion?

I commented on a hexbear thread about defederating with feddit.uk (my instance) over transphobia. It’s been a busy day.

You mean you don’t cut it open and scoop?

I FUCKING HATE GIFT VOUCHERS.

I have a little stack of vouchers for places I almost never visit, all expiring at random times in the next year or so. I have to remember what shops I have them for and make sure I spend money there before they expire. It’s just one more thing to worry about. “Oh, I have to buy this from Screwfix - do we have the vouchers for them? Maybe! How much? I don’t know, it doesn’t say on there. Has it expired yet? Not sure. Do they work online? Oh it’s not working maybe we used it and forgot to bin it”. And then the annoyance of spending money somewhere and forgetting to use vouchers. Why do people burden me with this and consider it a gift? Do I look like somebody who shops at John Lewis?!

At least it’s becoming less common for people to start comments with “Imagine…”
