Movies do belong in cinemas. Rian Johnson‘s movies do not.

The voice acting alone is worth a lot. Oblivion did not age well in that regard. Not that it was ever great to beginn with…

Ah, that‘d make sense

I never quite got how interviews could be rare. Lost, maybe. But as soon as it’s on YouTube, how can it be rare? It’s right there, available to everyone, any time.

For books, library genesis would be a better place to look than piratebay though.

Nobara: Has all the gaming features I want on my gaming pc (like gamescope) and is htpc capable. Also, it’s based on Fedora, which I’m familiar with.

Fedora: I like gnome and it’s always fairly up to date and rock solid. Great on my laptop.

Have considered switching to openSUSE though. It’s German (as am I), it’s the first Linux distro I ever used (on my granddad’s PC, more than a decade ago) and I’ve heard a lot of good about tumbleweed.

Last time I used it (been a while though) it was free, if you only transferred playlists up to 200 songs

„The ability to play chess is the sign of a gentleman. The ability to play chess well is the sign of a wasted life.“

No. Technically, both watermelons and cucumbers are berries.

The fuck is a 960p monitor? What’s the horizontal resolution? 1707? Or is it not 16:9? Don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard of that.

Of course they know how to use a computer. They don’t know a thing about how a computer works but that doesn’t mean they can’t use it. Heck, my 8 y/o cousin can figure out how to open and play Minecraft on his tablet. No need for him to know about commands, programming languages and bits n bytes.

Most people these days know how to use their phones, at the very least, and even there cog = settings. Most people don’t know how to use a CLI or how a spreadsheet program works, but they certainly can use a browser on a computer. Which is also a form of using a computer.

And maybe they don’t explicitly know it’s a button. But they know if they tap or click on a cog it takes them to settings.

And even figuring out how a mouse works is a thing of a few seconds, if all you’ve used before was a touchscreen (or even nothing at all). There‘s a reason they took off in the first place.

Although, if someone truly has never used a computer in any shape or form before. No smartphone, no tablet, not even a smart TV, you‘d probably have a point that it’s not much more difficult for them to learn the common iconography than it would be to learn the CLI. But people rarely start with such a blank slate today.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think it’s a good thing, people are less and less tech literate these days. But my point is, tech illiteracy doesn’t mean they have never used any computer ever and do not know what an app- or settings-icon is. I’d wager it’s more the other way around: People are so used to their devices working and their UIs looking pretty (and very samey) that iconography like cogs for settings are especially self explanatory to them. It’s the same on their phone, tablet and even TV after all.

Yes and it’s the exact same film as Avatar 1, just with water instead of jungle.

Was raised roman-catholic but got disillusioned pretty quickly. I was fairly religious in elementary school but by the time I was 14, I was agnostic/atheist.

Partially because my parents aren’t religious (my mum is from the GDR, so she didn’t grow up with religion and my dad seceded from church before I was even born) and even my grandma, who was the religious one (albeit never very strongly, compared to American catholics. More a „goes to church on religious holidays“ type of person), drifted away from church quite a bit after all the child-rapist priest shit that was uncovered at the time.

By now (mid 20s) I’d probably consider myself agnostic. Can’t prove there is no higher power but also, if there is, we wouldn’t know what religion – if any – is right anyways. It’s probably not christianity though.

Same here. Couldn’t use Apollo anymore so I downloaded Voyager instead.

I never said the CEOs are saints. They’re just not worse than they were 15 years ago. At least for devs/publishers that don’t put micro transactions in full price games.

I don’t own a Nintendo console older than a Wii and I don’t plan on changing that.

I also don’t plan on playing games that try to make me pay for it tenfold by enticing me to buy various in-game currencies.

Touché. But that’s a different problem. They don’t even need to raise the base price though, many of them are free to play anyways. And those that both have microtransactions and are full price should be avoided anyways.

The do have an opportunity now. People will complain but they won’t stop buying games.

Exactly.

Doesn’t change that $60 in 2010 are almost $90 today. Devs/publishers aren’t any more greedy than they were 15 years ago.
