Poor spiders always getting blamed for staph infections.

I asked my Magic 8-ball what the problem is and it says “Outlook not so good”

Given the performance improvements gained by using NTSYNC which game developers have used for years, I wonder if we’ll see improved performance on games running through Wine/Proton compared to native.

I, of course, sent the Hunt after one of my enemies. I’m not going to waste the opportunity to play “let’s you and him fight”.

My catspaws The rest of the circle are sometimes frustrated with my antics, but I’m too useful for them to ditch.

It’s very much like in OP, except I can just pickpocket a target’s name when they aren’t looking.

Like a lot of Sidereal charms, it’s deceptively useful but dependent on setting up a situation to make it good. I use it to either fuck with someone powerful (a CEO whose name can no longer be used by anyone is paralyzed) or to learn the name of someone I just met so I can convince them that we’ve met before to improve their initial reaction to me.

In one instance a villain summoned the Wyld Hunt and just as they appeared I swiped her name and proceeded to command the hunter because they were summoned by [villain’s name] and that was my name (now, anyway). Storyteller ruled it worked because it was a fey creature.

I do this to my storyteller when I play my Sidereal Exalt, abuse of Name-Pilfering Practice is probably my hallmark.

It was during DADT and I wasn’t joking. Though since then I have met more gay marines than any other branch (I guess if you want to prove your manliness to the world…).

The bar has been low for at least 30 years. Marine recruiter wouldn’t leave me alone even after I started hitting on him.

Yeah, my cat just wants effusive praise when she does this, she doesn’t want me touching her.

You would be largely correct. Though I was kind of amused with the “Does anyone know how their telephone works?” ca.1994 and then listed a bunch of things that I very much know. So maybe a bad example.

Too soon.

My old lady cat is very sensitive to my emotional state. If I am having a really bad depressive episode she needs to be in my lap and if that is not helping she pushes her nose under my chin or chews on my stubble.

If I am destructively ruminating she gets upset and bats at my feet and pulls on my pants cuff with her claws while angrily meowing.

I had an old Arctis 7 that finally fell apart last month after 8 years of heavy use.

I got a new Arctis 7. It is complete garbage. Cheap materials, smaller to the point that it just doesn’t fit my head, my ears don’t fit in the cups.

And instead of having it register two devices for chat and game you get a single device and then have to use their software to mix the chat, which is a nonstarter for me on Linux. SteelSeries has enshittified hard.

I recommend watching a stream or YouTube video from FuryForged or DunkOrSlam. Game is wild once you get the hang of it.

I had tex-mex / Indian fusion once and it was surprisingly good.

It mostly looks like a mild slow down of user-facing release and rebrand of unpopular features.

It is not a retreat. The marketing team is just trying to figure out how to reframe things that caused public backlash.

Because if middle managers even in other companies are tracking people’s locations then people are more likely to think that my software that asks for their location will be used to track them even though it doesn’t.

That is certainly a direction. I hope you have robust redunacies on the concentrator.

This will break a lot of applications.
