I didn’t think a lot of drives were actually permanently borked, were they?

I’ll pitch in my anecdote: I updated to Windows 11 3878, everything was fine. Downloaded Helldivers onto my gaming drive overnight, and woke up in the morning seeing that the SSD was not being detected (WD Black NVME, no heatsink). Pulled it out, put it in another PC, saw that it was being detected, so I rolled back the Windows update because that’s the only other thing that had changed. Drive works fine again.

SOMETHING definitely happened, but I think it’s waaaaaaay over-reported tbh.

Yeah I’m not surprised about the Thiel/Epstein thing, I’m more surprised that the NHS is considering any sort of private health data handling by PALANTIR of all companies.

This is for newgen gamers though, isn’t it? Konami is probably banking on them seeing this as a “new game” because it’s novel for them, and paying the “new game” price.

Unless the oldheads really want to see Ocelot meow in HD…

You misunderstood: current gen isn’t getting price drops while previous gen usually did. Current gen PS5/Pro and Xbox Series S/X are all actually more expensive now factoring in inflation (excluding the impact of the tariffs) than at launch. Since the Switch 2 literally launched two months ago, we can’t really talk about price drops for it, so we compare the Switch 1. The article headline is correct, and all of this is in the body of the article.

That’s not what this article is talking about though. It’s talking about how single generation consoles don’t get any price drops anymore. The comparison isn’t Switch 1 vs Switch 2 prices, it’s launch Switch 1 vs current Switch 1 prices.

Like let’s vent about Nintendo all we want, but at least let’s read the article first.

must be a different species

They are! Japanese cicadas are more shrill than the ones found in other parts of the world, and even the different subspecies within Japan have different frequencies they shrill at. I swear the cicadas in Okinawa were more ear piercing than the ones around Tokyo when we visited, but my family didn’t believe me :')

I had matching Nexus 5 and Nexus 7, I was in modding heaven. God I miss my Nexus 7…

Is LineageOS not good? I thought that was forked from Cyanogen?

Yeah, I really like Kotone’s SLs (ignoring Ken), especially the fact that we get an actual Ryoji SL. I think Reload not having FemC was a huge miss.

But I’m glad you’re enjoying it! I really wish Atlus kept the dual protagonists in tbh, it makes NG+ a lot more fun to go through.

Since it’s been a week, I thought I’d ask: how’re you enjoying your FemC run of P3?

This is THE Bioware game for me, I love it so much. I remember teaching myself how to rip music from video game files because the soundtrack of this game was my JAM.

RIP Bioware, wish we got a sequel to this before you got sucked into EA hell :')

Oh my god, you’re a LIFESAVER for the LibRidirect link, thank you! Fucking Instagram and Quora links piss me off too!

The Toxic MOBA to Toxic MOBA sidegrade is crazy, bro

No, yeah, I won’t say there isn’t a segment of the playerbase that’s addicted, but I do think it’s a bit overplayed for humour. Same with the toxicity, I’ve personally heard worse in FPS lobbies with forced voice chats.

Also our GOAT is Faker, one of the most wholesome players across all of esports. A lot of players hang around the ecosystem for him specifically.

Count yourself lucky.

But frankly, imo League is overhated. I’ve been playing that game since I was 12 and no one has attempted to groom me on it. Meanwhile my time on Roblox and public Minecraft servers was…something…

Nosferatu Barbie. Blonde wig, Bill Skargard’s Nosferatu face, Margot Robbie’s pink cowboy outfit from The Barbie Movie.

(I might steal this idea for myself tbh)

Futaba from Persona 5.

Listen…I’m trying to escape both Windows and League of Legends. Don’t give me an out here, I beg.

In all seriousness, thanks for the helpful suggestion though! I was looking at the LTSC version of Win11 before I decided to at least give some version of Linux a go as a daily driver for a bit. I can always switch back if I really hate it, you know?

I delayed switching my Win10 desktop to Proton because League brought Doombots back this week.

God, I am never escaping this game, am I…

My condolences to you and your wife on the loss of such a cute lil guy. I’m sure you both bettered each other’s lives all the days you were together, and if there is another life of some sort I hope you meet again.
