It’s not a bug, it’s the system working as designed

That’s fair man

👍 any time bud

VPNw

It’s a little known FOSS project, it piggybacks on TOR network and several other VPNs. The “W” stands for wank, as unfortunately VPNw only allows porn through to the user’s device, if a non-smut site is accessed VPNw injects millisecond flashes of tiddies n cacks full screen every 45 seconds. Highly recommended, can’t ever be too safe out there on the digital seas…

I only had an underpowered laptop that could barely play modern games.

I would like to point out that not all modern games have stupidly high requirements, and I might argue that the ones that do could actually optimise their shit to work on lower spec machines.

That’d be a good band name

My phone’s camera app just doesn’t scan qr codes. It’s actually really frustrating. I refuse to install a specific qr scanner, but I’d still like the ability to scan a menu code at restaurants or to get the WiFi connection at a hotel…

Hmmmm…I’d never thought of that…but goddamnit you’re right! Guess I’ll be telling the wife we need to pump a few out!

Nah, what he means by “traditional family values” is the women folk stay indoors, keep the house, pump out kids til they’re a dead shriveled husk, the men get to do whatever they want, sleep around whatever. And if they feel like the wife or kids are talking back they beat the everliving fuck out of em, and that’s fine because the wife and kids shouldn’t have been talking back to the man of the house…

He’s not a hypocrite, he just doesn’t mean the same thing you think he is with the words he’s using.

Patently false! They produce money for shareholders, by providing a really shitty way to pay for food.

Yeah, bar progress is sus

They’re quite dated now, but Neverwinter Nights 1&2 have a pretty robust multiplayer element.

Best description I could find is from this steam post reply by DrLoboto:

AFAIK, there are three different possibilities to play multiplayer:

1. You and your friend play through the official campaign and/or and the first expansion Shadows of Undrentide, or a user-made adventure that specifically allows for multiplayer (not all of them do). The second expansion Hordes of the Underdark might be possible to play through in multiplayer, too, but I heard there are some issues. Of the DLC, I think only Pirates of the Sword Coast and Infinite Dungeons officially support multiplayer.
2. You and your friend log onto a so called Persistant World (PW), which is like a mini MMO, an online world created and hosted by users which is usually accessible to everyone, so you might run into and interact with other players. Some of these are more action-oriented with pre-scripted quests, others are strictly roleplay, meaning you are meant to stay in character and not talk about meta stuff while playing. Sometimes administrators may take on the role of NPCs or monsters and entertain you.
3. You and your friend either join another group or run your own game in which one of the users assumes the role of a dungeon master, taking control of NPCs and monsters and creating an adventure for the other player(s).

The more common options would be 1. and 2. In those case, you will both control your own character and you can form a party and fight together, but theoretically you can also split up whenever you want to (even while remaining in the same party) and explore on your own. In case 1. one of you will open an online game and host it for the other player to join (anyone who owns NWN can do this, you don’t need anything else or any particular knowledge), in case 2. you will both join the server of the according PW team. Note that in case 1. the pre-written adventures will often assume that the NPCs are always talking to the same character as the hero of the story; it’s not perfect but it works if you agree that one of you is the main character doing most of the talking for the main quests, or if you can live with the occasional confusion now and then. ;)

They’re still perfectly functional. As long as you’re happy not having ray tracing, and are willing to settle for not running everything on max gfx, there’s no reason to buy a 50, 40 or 30 series. I’m able to play most new games that interest me on medium gfx with no issues.

I’m still rocking my 1080ti and I paid $140 CAD when the 20 series dropped.

OMFG! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Ah, the cowboy method. Gotcha.

I mean…the cartoon has basically all kinds of coffee prep excepting french press, aeropress and the various ways to make cold brew. Are you talking about instant coffee? Because that’s definitely windows…

Currently I still find it too much of a hastle to correctly run Winblows applications, almost always relying on Lutris, Steams proton or Bottles to do the work for me.

That’s…uhhh… that’s why they were made? So that your average Joe Schmoe, like myself and you, doesn’t have to muddle through trying to get wine set exactly right so that the windows program functions. It sounds like you’re complaining about the solution to the problem.
I guess there could be work done to just make it so if you double click on a .exe install file in just boots whatever has the best install preset, or give you a pop up with options for lutris/proton/bottles.
