I spent a season working in a packing house for watermelons. They’d come in by the crateload and we were allowed to just grab one to eat any time we wanted.

The trick I was taught, and which proved to be pretty reliable over the course of the season, was to feel the veins. (This is possibly what’s being described as webbing here?) Watermelons aren’t smooth, they have wide “veins” running top to bottom and you can feel them if you put your hand flat on the side of the melon. The bigger/poofier/wider the veins, the more ripe is it.

That explains why they look that way, it doesn’t explain why a AAA game in 2023 was allowed to ship that way, though.

Garuda. It feels like being inside a gaming rig full of blinking RGB lights. Way over the top with the “gamer aesthetic”.

Count me as one of those new Linux users. I’ve been trying to switch since the 90’s and Linux gaming is finally viable. I know this is in large part thanks to Valve, so thanks, Valve!

Oh no! What will I do without EA games?

Oh wait, the same thing I’m currently doing. Not even playing them when they’re free on Gamepass.

Generally speaking, because Republicans are a minority, the more people that show up to vote, the worse it is for Republicans. That’s why they work so hard to suppress voters. Anything that gets more people to vote is good for Dems even if you’re not asking people how they’re going to vote.

This is Clippy v2.0 and I’m sure it will be just as helpful.

Not to sound like a dick, but how does this have so many upvotes? There’s a button to skip it and never ask again right there.
