You're being bottlenecked by that CPU big time.

Did you just equate turning living organisms into a monitor with arranging rocks?

Depending on the game, this could open you up to a perma-ban (if found out). Which I think most multiplayer games take a hardline stance against circumventing their rules.

No, it's due to where I live. Default power bill with no heat is about $150. This is just to exist, anything extra like heat kicks it up like crazy. The utility company and regulatory body are openly corrupt and approve a never-ending series of rate hikes.

In my case it's a difference of nearly $100/month to run the heat for a couple hours in the morning and it's only set at 70. I'd love these tiny amounts people are paying. I don't even live in a big place.

This is a phenomenon I've observed across Lemmy. This platform has apparently attracted the attention of a subset of humans who are unfamiliar with the concept of jokes or sarcasm.

I have many times and it's easy to see they made a stronger rpg with better writing, but it's harmed by the setting. Wandering through the desert doesn't hit the same for me as the capital wasteland nor are the stories told by random scenes you can find as compelling.

I know that I'm probably supposed to say that New Vegas is perfect, but I gotta say that Fallout 3 is my favorite. Now if we could have a Fallout 3 made by Obsidian...

I think Fallout 3 has the best execution on atmospheric storytelling and plenty of unique, branching quests to compliment that. The takeover of Tenpenny Tower where you let the ferals in will go down as one of the most memorably crazy quests I've played in a game. Completely unrestrained in its brutality. Modern Bethesda is so sanitized and as a result, utterly boring.

I've heard a lot of good things about Deep Rock Galactic and haven't found my way there yet despite thinking of it often. Perhaps this will be that time. Either way, appreciate you doing this.

How dare you undercut their platitude with reasoning.

It's only nebulous if you listen to lobbyists and corporations. Many people still know what it actually means to buy something.

It's crazy that people believe ideas can be owned.
