Loads of classics in this thread, worth bookmarking to revisit later. Let me add one of my own that I haven’t seen mentioned:
Babe: Pig in the City (1998) - The first movie I saw in the theater by myself, because nobody could be arsed to come along. In the end I was glad, because I cried so much.
Be sure to grab it (DR 2.0, that is) before it’s inevitably delisted, it happens with all heavily licensed games. Even the original Dirt Rally is still fantastic if you have an older rig IMO, and it was going for two bucks years ago.
I have both. EA WRC looks, feels and runs WAY worse compared to Dirt Rally 2.0, and that’s on my fairly beefy 5800x3d / 7800 xt desktop machine. Dr2.0 also runs perfectly on my steam deck, while I haven’t even bothered to try running EA WRC on it (it would run like shit if it ran at all, plus the install size is like a gajillion GB).
On the upside, the tracks are way bigger / longer in EA WRC, some of them are a bit more interesting, and there’s a cool pseudo-roguelite mechanic in the campaign mode where every week you choose what to do (main race or side race to appease the sponsor, recruitment of team members, resting, etc.). That said, I couldn’t bring myself to finish a single season due to how pathetically janky the driving is.
I wish somebody would do a postmortem on the shitshow that is EA WRC, despite having the most beloved rally game dev team and the biggest license in rallying.
My home (gaming) pc is going back to linux for sure., on the very day they drop support for 10.
Modern squarish (16:18) monitors do exist, a friend has one and swears by it. For example, this one isn’t even that expensive given the size, resolution and that it’s bundled with what looks like an excellent monitor arm.
Personally I’m more in the “two windows side by side on a big ass 16:9” camp.
Naw. I’m this fucking old:
He’s literally on the board of a union and everything I’ve seen him say is very pro union, I think you may be taking something out of context.
I’m curious, what’s the issue you have with him? I’ve only seen him vocal about the writer strikes lately and his message was fine.
Same, little guy. Same.
I’m told that if you mix in some bleach, it’ll “do a tremendous number” on the pathogens.
The US Civil War eclipsed both in the number of casualties.
Dude, what?
Just order your maid to dust it twice daily with a feather duster, duh
Left: useless because it’s ugly as hell and won’t fit in anywhere. Right: useless because it falls apart if you sneeze at it.
The shitpost is correct. Bony fish, or the superclass Osteichtyes, absolutely is a scientific classification, and by the way modern cladistics work, every single thing descended from them, which includes all terrestrial mammals, reptiles etc. are also bony fish.
In other words, if the common ancestor of tuna and squirrels and whales is a bony fish, they are all bony fish. The squirrel and whale cannot be demoted from their bony fish status.
I haven’t read Ministry, but I’m not sure I’d call KSR a utopian. Aurora was some pretty bleak shit. (Great book though)
Umm, this is the first thing we were taught on the first day of kindergarten.
I know what you are referencing, but displayport already covers everybody’s use cases
