Modern GPUs are amazing hardware but the OEMs have been absolutely gouging their customers for the past few years, so it’s no surprise to me that sales are down, especially with the crypto bubble popping.

This news warms my black heart.

That got shut down pretty rapidly once the reddit blackout happened. I emailed asking for one. I read somewhere that they have a queue of something like 2,000 invite requests to work through, so it might be a while.

Yessss, I didn’t even think about that once I started using kbin/mastodon, but you are totally right. There’s a reason why the for-profit social media things absolutely don’t want to just give you a chronological feed.

I worry that when Gabe Newell eventually retires or dies that some MBA shitheads will take over Steam and then it’ll decline like so many other things lately :(

This sounds like the beginning of an MLM pitch, lol.

This kind of shit is what lead to abortion being legalized by popular referendum in Ireland a couple of years ago. Anti-abortion laws so strict that hospitals let pregnant women die rather than abort a baby for fear of prosecution.

Part of my daily routine is to play Forza Horizon 5 while both listening to podcasts and working out on an elliptical machine every morning. I’m doing it on an Xbox, but it’s available on PC too. This kind of game is totally playable while listening to podcasts and still actually being able to follow what’s going on in the podcast.

I think vBulletin is - at best - dormant these days. I spent about 10 years on a vBulletin-powered forum before I went over to reddit… 12 years ago.

Your work is appreciated, @ernest !
