I’ll second that opinion. RO filtered water basically is the same as overpriced bottled water, but you can have all you want at home anytime in your own glass

VR is definitely better than widescreen wrap-around monitors for gaming immersion. I’ve tried both and they are both great but VR is better. I noticed that I could drive significantly better in Assetto Corsa the first time I tried in VR mode, and I could actually get close to winning for a change. But it was a PITA to get working

Illustrating the power of the press. Attention and awareness makes evildoers less bold at least usually

My work laptop with 16GB struggled after “upgrading” to 11, and 10 was decent on it before.

On the other hand, an iMac with only 8GB works fine until several people log on and leave stuff running like steam and minecraft

Do yourself a favor and click the article to see the picture at the top, it’s funny

Yep I had a waterproof android 2.3 phone that had a removable battery, microSD slot, headphone jack, and FM radio all included. There were seals around the battery door-flap and rubber plugs for the USB and headphone jacks to keep water out. Another phone I had had all those features minus the FM radio, but it had an IR blaster to control TVs and shit. Smartphones used to be more serious multi-tools, and now they’re just fancy computer tablets with cameras.

Fake news!

Another chapter in American Idiocracy. AI communism is the perfect stupid boogeyman to get the morons in government riled up

Those two countries are linked and aligned together through the “Epstein” type networks. Just look at president orange hitler and how he works for them both at once.

Highlander 2 just makes no sense in general. They bring in some crazy shit about the immortals being aliens from the planet “Zeist” and ridiculous stuff like MacCloud riding a flying hoverboard happens.

It’s still worth watching at least once though

It’s probably the worst of the Highlanders. There was an updated version called The Renegade Cut that might be better.

Razer mice have some crapware that auto-installs on Windows now, through windows update. Their official driver that it downloads adds the crap and Microsoft just lets it do it all.

No such hassles on Linux though.

Not impossible, several options are still out there if you actually search for “non smart TV” on retailers’ websites.

Sceptre was one brand that made decent non-smart TVs but they seem to be vanishing off the market now. Many used ones still on ebay and other secondhand markets. Their website still shows a bunch of TV models but the retail links turn up empty.

Some do and some don’t. Some filmmakers even choose to self-fund and make their movies however they want.

Is that what I said? Nope, read it again.

The general point was the public’s perceived entitlement that their opinion matters in how movies are made, while they are not involved in any of those decisions in reality.

also not the Highlander 2: The Quickening version where they blacked out the sky to stop global warming

What’s really crazy to me is with movies like that that get drug through the social media culture war bullshit, all the people arguing about “how they should have made the movie” never seem to realize that they don’t get a choice about how anybody makes their movie. The movie-makers choose how they make their own movies, not the culture warriors or critics.

People should really back off and shut up about it all. “They should have done this, and the ending was all wrong” and so on. We don’t get a say in any of that. We just get to view the art that artists have created, and you can like it or not like it. That’s it.

Yes it’s pretty fun. The emulated version has some glitches but I found I could get rid of most of the graphical issues just by having my character wear a helmet or mask that would completely cover the face model. Basically the most glitches came from the character model’s face or eyes. I wrote a guide on how to set it up awhile back, mostly cobbled together from other people’s work online.

Note that ShadPS4 was updated to prevent installing games the way I did, after I wrote that guide. To make that work you may have to install an old version of the emulator first and after installing your games you can update the emulator.

Yep like the other said it works. I played it about a year ago on RPCS3 on both Mac and Windows 10. Got up to the Old King Alliant boss fight and got stuck again… then started playing Bloodborne on my PC instead with ShadPS4
