Skimmed your history to see if there was any indication of what your hardware/setup was. Slim on details beyond “Linux mint with an old/underpowered CPU”, but I happen to have a Linux Mint machine with an astonishingly bad CPU (Pentium Gold 4425Y, 2 cores, 1.7GHz) and only 4GB of RAM, so I decided to give it a spin.

Downloaded the demo from steam, changed nothing, hit play, game launched just fine and got to the main menu, but crashed to desktop trying to actually start the game. Tried a bit of tinkering, no dice.

Did run just fine with no tinkering on two other more powerful machines though.

Best of luck to them, then.

Are any of your content creator friends trying to get other jobs?

One of the most important aspects of writing is to choose an appropriate style and language for your intended audience. The purpose of an FAQ is typically to address common questions from laypersons, but this is not written in a way that a layperson is inclined to consume.

It’s dense while also being aggressively loquacious. A.1.1 spends over 200 words before it even starts to meaningfully answer the question. Then, after answering the question in about a half a dozen words, continues with a philosophical essay about what hierarchy means. Yes, some questions are nuanced and may need elaboration, but this document goes far beyond elaboration into rambling.

Who is this FAQ for?

On top of this there is a complete lack of page formatting, making it not only stylistically difficult to read, but also tiring as you track lines the entire width of your screen.

If you want to win people over, give them something they might want to read, not something that’s going to discourage them literally the instant they see the page before a single word is even processed.

Literally no one is going to read your one hundred thousand word FAQ.

most people want connected cars, my gf loves preheating our BYD when she heads off on an early morning start before she hops in, seats and cabin have been prewarmed etc. she likes the 360 birdseye cameras and I must admit they are very good

Neither of these things require the vehicle be “connected”. The cameras are entirely local to the car, naturally, and remote starters worked just fine for decades without being online.

I realised this a while ago, and it’s frankly baffling to me that anyone can pretend it has any direct relationship to how well a company is actually performing. It literally doesn’t matter how well a company is performing, if people buy the stocks the price goes up, if they sell the stocks the price goes down. There is no other factor that matters.

The fact that people buying and selling usually correlates with a company doing well or poorly doesn’t actually mean those two things are inherently connected.

That is massively more powerful than a RAW normal action unarmed attack, which does a single point of damage with no other riders.

If you have nothing else to do with your bonus action that round then it isn’t really a waste of time, no matter how bad it is. 1 damage is sometimes all you need.

Being together for a month or less and not only learning that your S.O. is a-okay with being woken up in the middle of the night by manual stimulation but also having the opportunity to do so two or three times seems like an absolutely wild relationship timeline to me.

…how does 36KB RAM and 72KB ROM give you a total of 64KB?

This is basically the case with any community that isn’t one of the broad topic/mass appeal subreddits. If you’re looking for discussion on anything even slightly specific Lemmy and other alternatives just completely fall on their face. Whether that’s support for a specific addiction or even just conversation about one particular video game series, your options are Reddit, discord, Twitter, or nothing.

Heh. Doodoo.

Many anesthetics actually have an amnesiac effect as well. If you’ve ever been under general anesthesia then you likely had a minute or two of talking with the anesthesiologist that you will never remember and that last “this is just oxygen” moment is not actually the last moment you were conscious.

Has no organs

Looks inside…

…organs.

I’m in my mid-40s and expanded my circle of friends by about a dozen people in the past year or so.

Just go out and do stuff. For me it was getting involved with the local fighting game community.

Alternative read. They’re into watersports and do this at home. He’s holding it because he wants to wait to get home so he can relieve himself that way. She’s teasing him about being unable to make it home to enjoy it. It’s not actually a matter of being uneasy about public restrooms, just the much more understandable discomfort with that sort of activity in public.

a mobo usually only has 1 USB controller for way more than 15 USB ports though

This is not true for the last… many PC motherboards I’ve used. The USB ports are almost always split between the CPU controller and a chipset controller.

If you want to be really pedantic I guess you could argue that the motherboard only supplies one while the other comes from the CPU. :P

Playing a goolock in a campaign right now. Got the direct attention of my patron after finding an artifact related to them. Now I have a writhing tentacle-like appendage where my left arm used to be.
