Valve is such a weird company.

They became where nearly every PC game is sold by using some of the greatest games of all time as advertising. The orange box has to be the biggest return on a loss leader ever.

VB was great for learning coding.

Slap some buttons down and have them do math. I made an NPC generator for every RPG I ran in VB as a teen. I felt like I was a hero putting out something that looked "good" for the time.

Are you telling me if you are in front of Bigfoot you aren't gonna be ready to go?

Bedroom eyes is the worst episode of DS9.

Everyone looks like they are uncomfortable at all points.

Reviews have gotten stupid.

Let's look at DISCO. Users put it at 37%. That's about as bad as "Cop Out," "Howard the duck", "the adventures of sharkboy and lavagirl" and something called "four kids and it."

I'm not a fan of DISCO, it takes itself too seriously, solves most problems with violence, has no chemistry between crew members and refuses to spend time developing most characters. That being said, it sure as heck is a lot better than "Howard the duck".

Let's look at a couple audience reviews to see where the hate is coming from (actual quotes from IMDB user reviews)- "Should have been called Star Woke" "Too busy being woke" "If a character is a straight white man they are evil"

Oh no. It's bigotry.

User reviews have become bombarded by conservatives pushing an agenda. An agenda that says that any representation is harmful and offensive. It's impossible to gain real insight on user experiences through online polls because of a loud minority crying about seeing a black/queer/Asian/trans/educated/disabled person.

It makes it hard to criticize shows due to the "anti-woke" offering you a robe when you say something bad about a show with a woman.

Every hour was obviously hyperbole. It would break often. Normally due to some issue that would pop up, most often drivers.

She did run on unstable and had a fetch for updates automated every evening. Her goal wasn't a stable OS, but to be at the forefront of testing. She knew no programming, so it meant that she would report bugs and have a box with a giant fan that didn't run anything most of the time. She made bad choices.

I'm sure stable Debian is stable. I'm sure it's gotten better in the past 15 years, but the fact my experience with Debian was an unstable mess that was more of a job than a useable system makes me suspicious of the distro.

I had a girlfriend who used Debian back around 2005.

Never have I been around an OS that didn't work as often as Debian. It wouldn't crash, but need to be updated or something every hour. It was a full time job keeping it running for her.

I'm thinking about making the switch soon, can you tell me why you went pop_OS instead of mint?

I'm getting overwhelmed with options and just want to know why you went with one over the other
