A steadfast replacement of engineers in leadership with MBA’s over the last decade plus.

Money found a place in the tech chain and has since ruined it.

.zip seems to have some power tripping bastards so it could be that as well

Respect. Fuck anyone who says otherwise.

Naw, they’re tenuously connected aside from some specific moments and characters across the franchise.

Story wise it’s all pulp horror/scifi. If you want to play the highlights, the remakes of part 2 and 4 from the 2010’s are fantastic games and each stand on their own. 7 & 8 are a more modern style and really good straight horror experiences but not necessary to enjoy Requiem. The other entires can be rough as they were created with various elements of game design and language we’ve moved past and improved on since.

Resident Evil Characters wiki page can be a fun read for a little more context but not an absolute need.

Alternately if you want to get caught up without a 100 hour investment in play time, Noah Caldwell-Gervais does great long form essays on video game series’ and his resident evil one will get you up to speed for requiem in significantly less time.

I started playing them on original PlayStation release and have enjoyed them all for different reasons. The story is a hodgepodge of 30 years of writers and artists building a world that is both overly complex and charmingly simple. Each release can be seen as a reflection of the world it was created in and the horror and espionage tropes of the time. At the end of the day though, it is a very silly series that understands the ridiculousness of its characters and world and strikes a great balance between that and being genuinely scary.

That edit hits like a brick. I think about techtv a couple times a year. What an interesting convergence of old media and the first stages of new media.

Can I get this with a few more pixels?

It’s like you were in the room. Haha

I had a clippy skin for quake 3! It didn’t take long for it to be banned at LAN’s

You’re either to dumb to know what he was going to do or your rich enough to know exactly what he was going to do.

That’s the majority of people voting for him.

Theres no drink option other than overly hoppy IPA (gross, I know, but it is the pnw) and likely salmon on some mixed greens.

They announced these at Ignite last year along with a swath of Copilot modules.

The goal is to provide low cost alternatives to either

1. Upgrading existing systems to win11, if the hardware supports it.

2. Offering a “low cost” alternative to an additional $30 for an extended year of win10 support.

Long term goal is to move Windows completely to a subscription model either way. Little Black Boxes are just initial way to present this as an overall savings to the Enterprise Market. And I believe it will work to some degree on the quarterly focused businesses that are already balls deep in Microsoft’s ecosystem’s. There is an unfathomable amount of win10 systems still in use across the globe and they are fast nearing EOS.

Additionally, you can purchase “parts” bags/kits which are marketed as “repair accessories” for 11+ rd magazines(usually 30 rds for 5.56 and 7.62). These somehow skirt around the law from my understanding. You’re buying the complete mag, but assemble it yourself.

I missed out on the 1st gen pebble but had a buddy who loved his. Y’all may be talking me in to checking this new one out.

And agreed on the pine faces. I’ve been of half a mind to learn how to make them so I could have more variety.

I think we’ve been pressure cooked as a country (speaking as an American as that’s my only real, long term reference) and maybe a society thanks to social media to amplify that hate and outrage.

If its any small consolation, I think the communities around here are hurt and frustrated and learning how to express that and navigate it in a space where immediate censorship isn’t as likely too occur.

Its a lot like the way we used to stretch our legs and push boundaries in the early Internet days. It wasn’t easy to get mod banned on most irc servers, but it did happen. In between those moments though, you could get away with saying some vile stuff.

Don’t take it to heart, take it as a vent in a place where we are somewhat protected from the hate speech the other side slings.

In my real life I’m much more sympathetic. Even to the point of empathy exhaustion. But when it’s strangers online exponentially far away from me on the Dunbar scale, I laugh, ridicule and taunt.

This is my relief. Same way I’ll text a buddy and shit on him when his team is getting crushed in a game.

Empathy and class warfare are locked in a timeless battle anymore, but I think there’s still room to point at fucking idiots and enjoy their suffering. After all, they’d do the same for us.

For anyone looking for a similar device in the interim (long battery, open source) the PineTime is a great device.
