I think I remember seeing this back when it came out. What was this printed in?

I feel like it does imply that though. "tablet-fed" really does sound more severe than just using it having one around.

"as much as popular"

What language did this come from?

They still don't get a list of items you bought. Is running a request for payment, it's not billing a list of stuff.

I can see the alphas railing against the term "tablet-fed". They are NOT gonna like that.

That's gonna be what us cranky old millennials call them later while we would be yelling at them to get off our lawn. But we won't yell that, because none of us will own any yards.

Came here to say this. Well I would've said Trump, but same idea.

I wanna "make a both filename"!

To be honest that bit is pretty damn nightmarish. It creeped me out as a kid.

I'd say so.

Although I still think it's weird that "consecutive" became a requirement.

Edit: Not implying blame for OP about the requirement. But colloquially it does mean consecutive, and I think that's a little strange. Probably a weird etymology rabbit hole to look at sometime.

I really wanna go to an event where we're just literally roasting selected billionaires over a fire, eating popcorn as we listen to their screams, and watch their flesh darken as it burns. So whole celebrating how much negative karma is leaving the earth all at one time.

I'm not even kidding. I would literally enjoy physically going to such an event. Bezos and Musk would probably be the stars of the show.

Does Bezos even "do" anything at all? Ever? Or is he just cashing checks while underlings deal with all the "work stuff"?

I mean I would be downright ashamed if a company with my name all over it was looked on this badly.

I don't know if this is specifically possible. I'm not quite rookie-level new (been using it about a year now) but I have something I would love to have convenience-wise.

It's a desktop machine with regular speakers, and I have a wireless headset that connects to its own dongle (not Bluetooth). It's there a way to switch to the headset automatically when I power it on, and revert to speakers when I turn it off?

I feel like it's possible hardware-wise, but I'm not tryna learn how to code to make it happen, and I don't know how to find a software solution. I don't even know what to call what I'm looking for.

So I'm getting the famous gray screen crash on trying to start the game.

I have finally moved to Linux for my main machine and almost everything is running smoothly except this game in particular.

I using Lutris to get to BattleNet. Overwatch 2 works great. But Diablo 4 just shows a gray screen for 2 or 3 seconds and then the window closes bringing me back to whatever was on the screen when it tried launching.

I've seen a bunch of mentions of this issue, most are for the Steam Deck or are Windows-related, and I've seen a lot of posts about switching Proton versions and VKD3D versions, but I cannot seem to get a working combination to just get into the game.

I don't have a clue what is wrong or how to even diagnose what else to do here. All of the links I can find that mention anything.

I had to stop after launch because my last machine only had 4GB of RAM and would choke after a few minutes, but this machine should not be having problems.

Edit- Game is still having problems even when launched from Steam.

I cannot get Battle.net to launch with any regular Proton version or Experimental. I also can only get it running with GE after version 8-26. (only 3 versions, 8-26, 9-1, and 9-5)

But every version up to 9-5 has the gray screen for a couple seconds, then the game closes with no error message.
