Which ones you playing?

So I’m going to put this out there, why watch this content on a Android that we will have less and less control over as time goes on?

Grab a laptop with Linux on it and go wild. I now have a computer hooked up to my TV and I don’t have to worry about any of Google’s bullshit

This is the type of bullshit bullies say to try to make themselves feel like they are not so bad. If you are a bully, or ever were a bully, you were scum. Accept it.

There is no justification for treating people horrible. If you are having bad things happen to you, it says more about your character if you are able to stop yourself from treating people the same way. Break the cycle.

GTA 6 was something I was already planning to avoid. I’m sure it will be a technological achievement, but the fact that this game took close to a decade and a half to come out, I moved on from the idea of a new GTA game long ago.

Rockstar was happy to milk GTA 5 for that whole time rather than making new games the fans wanted. Sure RDR2 was released, but were fans really only wanting one game in a decade plus? Of course not. Why make a new game when you can make money from micro transactions in your current one. Basically acting like GTA landlords and expecting continued money while offering no real value to an old game. They even put a casino in GTA online, in case you needed a clearer idea of what their priorities are now.

GTA 6 will probably have a great story mode, but the GTA online garbage is coming too, guaranteed. It would not surprise me if the online components even find a way into the single player story. Not to mention the size this game will be on your system. I bet 200 gb - 300 gb and the probably higher price tag.

Now Rockstar is union busting. This is on top of all the toxic work environment flak they got for over working their employees in the RDR2 development.

Fuck you Rockstar, I don’t need a new game from you.

I’m having issues getting the microphone on my sony headphones to work on my steam deck. I was figuring it is due to missing drivers as well

Anyone know any resources or books along the same nature as this? I feel like I need to rewire my brain

Relationships end for a reason. When you breakup it’s important to always remember why you broke up. It’s easy to only remember the good parts and that is often how people get sucked back in again to the same relationships and the same kinds of people.

Keep remembering what the breaking point was and how you felt at the worst times. Doing that makes it easier for yourself to rationalise why you are not together.

Also total separation is key. No willing contact again ever. If they are gone completely, then it will be easier to move on.

When you reach 60, they should give you transit for free.

All of who? Alberta? There is a massive amount of people in Alberta who hate this bitch. She only barely won the last election and she would probably loose if the election were today. She is only doing this shit because she knows she has a few years before the next vote

This was at a sports game months ago. You can see the scoreboard up top

My parents were trying to guilt me the last few years that it will be my responsibility to look after them when the time comes that they need a caregiver.

I told them they could live with me if they are independent, but if they need professional care, then we would move them where they need to be for that, like a retirement home.

My parents were both offended by this clearly, but I saw what happened when my parents tried to be the caregiver to my grandfather when he got very old and it nearly tore our family apart basically having to have shifts to go and take care of him all so he could sit in a chair in his house. It sacraficed years of our lives and I delayed going to college for several years because of it. Family members are not professional caregivers and trying to be results in bad care and delays the inevitable of needing to go to a home.

Despite explaining all of this to them and them knowing how hard it was taking care of an elderly parent, they still feel like I have to do it. I asked them, “Did you only have kids to make sure someone will look after you when you are old,” and they get all flustered by that and never give a straight answer.

They have given up on me now and are currently guilting my siblings to look after them some day.

Spotify has been garbage for so long. I left when the Joe Rogan stuff got so bad and artists were demanding to have their music removed from Spotify in response.

You can buy music and maintain your own personal collection. It was not as hard as I thought it would be and the quality is so much higher. Artists get more of the money as well from you.

This reminds me of what Xbox tried to do all those years ago, but Nintendo is actually getting away with it.

I had a course where the teacher basically said you would have a hard time passing if you did not have a windows laptop because it was the only OS that worked well with their program.

The program was Excel workbooks

Lol, no thanks

I play it on my steam deck all the time and it runs great. Frame rate is fairly consistent

I’ve been just buying the music on 7digital or Bandcamp lately. Forgot this app was around

It’s a terrible time right now. I’ve applied for over 100 roles this year and only got 3 interviews. Interviews went well, but you never move on. Likely they had someone in mind for the position already.

I think I’m close to reaching out to one of those temp agencies and try to find a year contract somewhere with the hope I end up getting a permanent offer somewhere.

I have 10 years experience in operations and finished a BBA a year ago and it has not amounted in any new opportunities sadly.

I was in Portland a few years ago and the encampments were extensive. Like nothing I have ever seem. You passed massive ones while on the train from the airport. The idea that the solution to it is just to ban camping rather than actually provide stable housing for a massive vulnerable population is so brain dead.

I am using RSS for keeping up on news and I defintely prefer it. The main thing I am missing is game notifications. Even if it could email me or show up in my calendar
