I remember trying to run Spider-Man on my 1080p monitor and wondering why it looked like complete shit even at 30fps. You're right that the strength is limited, and lots of AAA games will need the settings lowered quite a bit to run smoothly.

I got a gaming pillow from Mechanism. It holds the deck exactly where I want it, so my hands don't fall asleep during long play sessions.

Most (all?) fees that are a percentage of the total are straight up criminal. Specifically credit card fees and restaurant tips.

23 childcare centers in 8.5 years. A new one every 4-5 months. That's insane.

Why do they need guns if they're aid workers?

Jake Paul isn't championship caliber, and may never be, but as a boxer he's not the joke that people seem to think he is.

Thanks for the context. I read your comment as "you don't get off the hook ever" which is not what you said.

Is there an avenue to getting off the hook? Apologizing and not doing it again? Or does he lose everything for the rest of his life?

For context, I barely know who pewdiepie is. I just have to imagine that when public figures fuck up, maybe there's a spectrum of available consequences other than "they must lose their job and never been spoken of again."

To be clear, I voted for Harris, and I implored everyone I know to vote for Harris, for exactly the reasons you mentioned. I will always vote for the farthest-left candidate in the general, full-stop. I'm not arguing that both sides are the same, or that Harris wouldn't have been a better choice for 100 reasons outside of the genocide issue. I'm arguing that Harris gave no indication that she would defend Palestine or even recognize the genocide at all. She might well have done those things, but she didn't campaign on that, so I don't know why anyone is defending her on the issue. Establishment Dems can't seem to get it through their heads that progressive policies are popular, so we keep getting general elections between an absolute monster and a neolib Dem saying, "Vote for me or you'll get the monster!" That might be the reality, but it's not a platform.

I live in a blue state, and I had people around me arguing that whether they voted third-party or didn't vote at all, they would be able to sleep at night knowing that A. they didn't vote for genocide and B. the state would go blue anyway. I don't agree with that position at all. I want third parties to be represented in the US, but that starts at the local level and in the primaries. By the general election it's too late and we realistically have two options. I also believe that shutting down any criticism of the Dem candidate (e.g. a now-banned user told me to kill myself) is a good way to alienate people and discourage them from engaging with the process at all. The right has banned nuance from their discourse, and I refuse to allow the same thing to happen around me.

1 million upvotes for you. "Hope you're happy Trump got elected. Palestine is doing great now" etc. is such a tired cliche at this point. I'm astonished that it gets upvoted every. single. time. Harris literally said she wouldn't do anything different from Biden. She would have allowed/financed the genocide all the same, but she'd be calling the "tragic loss of life" a "very complex issue." I have no idea where this fantasy comes from that she would suddenly be the hero who stands up to Israel.

Give the guy some credit. He also got humiliated, smothered and face-cranked by Khabib. He may be a loser, but he's versatile.

I groan every time they announce he's on the commentary team. It's clear he doesn't actively watch the sport anymore, and he simply can't avoid hyperbole.

How else would they keep the price at $60? To be serious, though, I haven't played it and maybe it's worth it.

A country doesn't enforce tarriffs on other countries... unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean.

I mostly play handheld, and I got a gaming pillow from Mechanism. It sits on my lap and holds the deck at the right height and angle. My hands used to fall asleep from squeezing the deck to hold it up, and this has solved it. I would play docked more often if I had a controller with rear buttons.

Galaxy Buds are just so solid. The little spendy goblin in me has looked at new ear buds for years, and I even got some free Pixel Buds with my last phone, but I keep going back to the galaxies.

Oh this is so helpful. Thank you.

So I got a flash drive to install Windows and (attempt) to install COD, but I have a Mac computer. To move anything to the flash drive, I had to format for MacOS, but to move anything to the deck I had to format for Linux. Am I misunderstanding something?

But so many people have decks now, it would make sense to market a dedicated controller for docked mode. At least that's what I'm desperately hoping for.

Slay the Spire is really nice for limited mobility. Turn based, point and click based. I like to play with one hand while I'm eating with the other.
