No, that person is a cartoon.

So… the PayDay devs have … basically admitted PayDay 3 was a mistake… and are going back to PayDay 2…

I may have an idea for some new heist content.

Hows your hardware?

Memtest your RAM?

HDD or SSD? How old are they, they got any problems?

If you keep hitting problems on connecting to timezone, it might be your wifi chip / card, could be that its an odd duck that still has driver quirks on linux, + is maybe physically damaged… could lead to a lot of nonsense if you are actually grabbing malformed core files from a not fully offline install.

As I… think has been mentioned elsewhere in this thread, you can run Gamescope + Proton + Wayland, and force the refresh rate.

You can do this with xrandr or sometimes some games actually expose it as a thing you can directly configure.

Presumably, you could set this to, for this example, 90, and probably help out the frame timing variance a bit.

Mustard, its tumerific!

Currently at ~7% would buy one version or another on day one, about 33% would wait for a sale, ~60% dgaf

Ok, hear me out:

Mustard.

Some people just want to watch the world churn.

I am become cheese, and I must curdle.

Yes, yes you can. Initiatives are neat, that way… the sword cuts both ways.

Yes.

Kind of.

Its… why they spent that decade making Proton, and now basically have an OS based off of it.

Well… I’ve…

… never licked a spark plug

and I’ve never sniffed a stinkbug

and I’ve never painted daisies on a big red rubber ball

and I’ve never bathed in yogurt

and I don’t look good in leggings

and I’ve never been to Boston in the fall

I uh, don’t know what to tell you…

I don’t do anything.

‘Power Tripping Bastard/Bitch’

‘Fascist Personality Disorder’

‘Manipulative Egomaniacal Bully’

‘Malignant Sociopath’

Well, gotta say I’ve never seen anyone with an actual leech as a pet before.

Honestly, probably a pretty chill, low maintenance, aquarium/terrarium style pet, if you’re down with literally being its food source.

I mean, it really is as simple as you’d think it is.

They’re entitled, vain, and incompetent.

Gigantocorporate structures… do that to themselves and their constituents.

They have a whole other kind of ‘social norms’, just like any particularly culturally different group or economic class of people have noticably different expectations and behavior patterns.

The corporation values ass kissing and gaslighting more than anything else, it takes an extreme and constant, consistent effort inside the company to make that not happen, like pushing a boulder up a hill.

You can place varying degrees of blame on management or devs, on specifically full of themselves and insufferable people…

… but the ultimate reason this happens is because shareholders say line must go up, and the social dynamics that occur in an organization that is rabidly aiming for that goal… produce narcissists that are full of themselves.

Because a mass shakeup, an attempt to reset that via resetting people… well that means downtime, that means ‘a rebuilding year’… but that line needs to keep going up NOW. And firing all your top leadership is a near guaranteed way to tank your stock value.

So, the most influential people with the most wrongheaded ideas fail upward, untill the money printer breaks, and then, at that point… shareholders are okay with firing leadership, because the bad thing, the line go down, that already happened.

Reticulated sp(l)ine.

“Fortunately”, writing absurd, innacurate, vapid and mislesding job descriptions, as well as sussing out emotional weight of interview responses and asking a canned battery of questions…

Well, LLMs actually can do that about as well as most HR and recruiters can.

Yep, as with this one, they wanted someone with a chronologically impossible amount of experience.

Like, they want someone to have been in presumably a bootstrap paradox time loop for 3 or 4 of those 10 years.

If your HR is this stupid… you’re not gonna get good candidates.

Which is apparently the point, they’re just advertising that they are incompetent and have absurd expectations, they just want someone who can lie well.

They… they broke the recycle bin, eh?

So you’re just not allowed to delete files anymore?

… I guess that would give them more AI training data and also make people need even more storage so… sure, fuck it, why not.

I guarantee any game made by Valve, on GoldSource or Source or ‘Source2’ will be capable of hitting 4K 60fps on this thing.
