Melatonin actually has a scientific basis. It’s a naturally produced hormone that will have an effect on most people, but being a hormone, ymmv. Homeopathy is pure quackery from top to bottom

It is a dirty joke, one that implies everyone takes turns in the test chamber, aka the barrel.

Black Mesa was an insane confluence of theoretical and practical physics. I mean they’re inventing fucking interdimensional travel and handheld laser weapons. Also there’s a security guard that jokes to Gordon “looks like you’re in the barrel today” which implies everyone on the team takes turns in the suit. That was just Gordon’s day; he probably does spend most days in an office somewhere doing math

About as often as they actually release anything

I wouldn’t get too excited. Supposedly the next headset is internally called Deckard, and it’s been “about to release” for like 3 years now? Pretty much everything people think they know about it is conjecture based off code Valve has tucked away in SteamVR; zero public statements of intent.

As for VR on Linux… kinda? I’ve only read terrible things about it online. I have an Index and tried to use it with Mint a few months back, and while it mostly worked without any configuration issues, there was a weird white ring around the edge of the screen that I couldn’t figure out.

They literally already tried and failed with the phoneification of windows when everyone shat on 8. I guess some ahole UI designer still works there and is bitter that people didn’t like their ideas.

Just 3 days ago I had to use the control panel to access the settings I needed to get my parents’ printer to work right. Even tried to use the regular settings menu for maybe 10 minutes before remembering how to access the settings I needed. Here’s hoping my parents never run into printer issues again (lol).

FUCK YOU, MICROSOFT!

Have you tried different distros? Some hardware is supported better by different forks. I myself have an odd situation with an old laptop that got weird Bluetooth audio issues on stock Ubuntu, but having swapped it over to mint (which is supposedly just Ubuntu under the hood!) it works flawlessly.

Agreed. High res is not the same thing as good graphics. The Halo 1 remaster is another great example of that; the og graphics look SO much better

Thems some long green peppers

I don’t think this is a particularly good take. Inclusivity IS much more important today than it was to people even 10 years ago. The real issue is that being woke is GOOD! It’s crazy that people have twisted it around, like shutting our eyes to the world’s problems (being “asleep”) is somehow the right way to be.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie, but wasn’t the woman in charge of the humans pretty dang villainous? She had a motive, sure, but was pretty unreasonable in the face of evidence she was doing harm to everyone

depends on who theyre fucking

Yeah this seems common. I had a friend who grew up with parents who alternated between English, Portuguese, Italian, and French, and he told me he wound up not being able to speak at all until he was over 2 years old. It didn’t affect him badly later on, and he always insisted it was worth it

Just as dumb? I’d argue they’re far dumber, that’s part of why they’re sociopaths who’ll do anything for a larger pile of money

The little coal guys from spirited away are real!

In my experience steam will still give you s refund if the game is rendered literally unplayable

It is happening now but evolution takes a long time. If there were a ton of adaptations that happened in the next 10,000 years, that would be incredibly fast on an evolutionary timescale

I have never seen a drawfee ep that gives me bad vibes and they’ve raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for some pretty nice charities in just the last year
