We caused, indirectly or even directly, many of the causes that people are trying flee from in their home countries in Latin america.

The vast majority of them are trying to flee gang violence.

It really does read like an ad, which is amusingly ironic since linux mint is free.

I personally disagree, Bard feels very uninspired, and copilot i associate too mich with flying, and also sounds more competent than it is.

ChatGPT is probably not the best name, but at least it’s unique.

I’m not ignorant of rural life, I’ve lived in rural areas, suburbs, and visiting cities a lot.

There are a lot of reasons why american cities suck, high crime, decrepit buildings, not unique to cities either.

Enjoy your life, and be safe. Try not to put others in danger.

I don’t know why I care so much, but someone in my area died in a car accident a few months ago. I didn’t know her, but i was very close at the time it happened.

A drunk driver hit them and everyone blames them alone, and yeah its their fault. But the road leading up to it is too easy to go fast leading into a shopping center. I don’t want to live a culture that just accepts car deaths. I want the county and government to fix unsafe roads. And I’d like something to be done to stop the arms race between cars on the road, in the end your not that much safer, while people outside the car die in greater numbers.

I’m sorry that the area you live in has decided that transportation can carry a serious risk of death. Roads can be desinged in a safer manner, even when people are drunk.

Transit options are workable even in rural areas when designed correctly.

Well I bike to work, so take that how you will.

Personally I’d rather advacote for safer roads for everyone, and transit options that doesn’t turn into an arms race, like buses, trains and biking where possible.

Also get hit by a semi, tell me how you win that arms race.

I hate it cause its lethal, wasteful, and stupid.

Because lemmy search sucks. Its very specific, and usually the most relavant stuff is buried by tangetially related things.

I think it could’ve used a few more years, because its still not that fun.

Exploation is meaningless, which completely takes the fun out of it. There’s nothing interesting to discover.

We have reactor designs that use already spent fuel, we just aren’t building them. We have enough spent fuel for centuries, and afterwards the reprocessed fuel is much less radioactive, and only for a few decades.

Nvidia shield is the best,

Roku devices are pretty good for less money

I’ve only crowdfunded a handful of gsmes, mostly vr. Because they can’t get traditional funding. Despite this I want to support projects that could be interesting. Without Kickstarter these projects would not exist, rather than switch to traditional funding.

I know there’s risk, i know they may never get finished. But its worth the risk in case a true gaming gem comes out.

I think you undersell how feature rich steam is for both users and developers.

They offer community forums, reviews, mods through workshop, cloud saves, automatic controller support, openish vr ecosystem (epic cant even do vr, if you buy a vr game you likely need to use steamvr anyway), broad payment and currency options, regional pricing and guidelines, remote play, and more I’m sure.

This is much more feature rich than even console platforms, so I think the 30% fee is justified.

And they do this all without really locking down their ecosystem.

Recent controversy over an absurdly high failure rate.

Might be fixed now, but i wouldn’t gamble.

Your best bet is probably to make your own.

Find a high quality NVMe drive and put it in a USB enclosure.

If the USB ports or anything other than the drive fail, the data is easily recoverable.

Given your use case, buying an external drive is probably fine, just don’t get one from SanDisk.

Give it a decade and economies of scale, and maybe it will get it down to twice as expensive.

Dont forget they removed a tank slot, greatly changing how the game was played. And IMO not for the better.

If they’re making record profits why did they decide to come to steam?

I think their player numbers have dropped and they’re trying to boost them.
