Why do drivers licenses A) record names in all caps when the capitalization can be part of the name (McX etc) and B) not separate out the middle name when people can have multiple so it’s not always clear where the split is between the first and middle names?

I mean it’s still kind of a slog even though it’s not long objectively. But honestllllyyyy I think the game could have been a solid 7/10 if they just added a bit more depth to the gameplay and had like more of a plot at all.

I finished the worst fucking Fallout game that nobody has played 🥳🥳 Honestly it’s garbage the reputation is deserved but it’s kind of an interesting time capsule, I think more Fallout fans should play it out of curiosity. It’s not that long.

Wait didn’t Pakistan and Saudi Arabia sign a mutual defense pact and then after that they’ve both been attacked?

Jesus Christ this game is annoying towards the end. I’m in fuckin deathclaw tunnel and the mama deathclaw boss was easy and my gear is good enough but I don’t have enough stimpaks for the escape run out.

I will say Fallout Brotherhood of Steel is perfect for playing on the Steam Deck. It just scales to the display size and controls nicely being like a top down shooter. And there’s a save spot every 10 feet.

Got him. All it took was buying a fuck ton of stimpaks lmao

I’ve died three times to the Blake boss battle and if I don’t get it after trying again tomorrow with the benefit of rest I might give up tbh

Excited to try the new McDonald’s burger as an autistic picky eater 🥳

Yeah Fallout Brotherhood of Steel is just ass. I’ll probably force myself to finish it but yeah it’s just very repetitive and testing my patience now.

I fucking hate DST so much I want to move back to a sane time zone. I 1000% just stay up “later” because of it.

“Fossil fuels are so good that the world should build so much redundancy into its extraction infrastructure that losing the largest, cheapest, easiest to extract sources doesn’t matter” is the economic logic here. Mental illness.

It’s fucking 85 degrees and I can’t take my winter tires off because March and April are technically the snowiest months here and the weather could be schizophrenic and snow any day. I hate car ownership!!

It's so cool how there are literally two major wars destroying the world's fossil fuel infrastructure + a coup in order to blockade another country. I feel like the biggest moron in the world for having bought a gas car bc I'm a renter and charging blah blah blah

There's going to be so much handwringing about celebrations when Trump dies and I'm not going to tolerate a second of it.

South African showers be like: kill the grower

Ah yes. The war that is definitely winding down.

Mea culpa. I still think the backlash is insane and there might still be potential in the technology as it’s gets refined over time. But yeah it appears Nvidia made so many misleading statements about DLSS5 they basically lied. youtu.be/D0EM1vKt36s?...

When Modi falls, Noah Smith will be the standard bearer of global Hindu nationalist ideology

Trump whenever Israel attacks oil infrastructure

YASSSSS KING UNLIMITED GENOCIDE ON DIESEL CHUDS JDPON Don putting imperial super polluters in their place ✊✊✊ Under true communism bourgeoise compression ignition won’t exist

I aggressively boast about myself as like The Paperwork Guy and I fucking got tripped up on IRS PIN thing for like the 5th year in a row I will literally never remember how it works I’m a fraud I’m gonna go commit sepukku

Also yeah I chickened out and didn’t do my taxes manually and mail it in. Even though I think I actually left something off my AZ partial year resident tax return because of it I think would have been easier to do manually? (Doesn’t matter bc my AZ income was below the AZ standard deduction)

Jesus Christ it's not just the Colorado DMV that's Like That? What is with this fucking state and the most galaxy brained approach to paperwork/bureaucratic procedure?

Soyfacing because banks have the same federal tax IDs on my personal tax documents for reporting my interest as I enter at my job all day. Not interesting or surprising at all it’s just like yup I’ve seen this a million times before.

Trying to figure out how my state taxes work because I moved this year is so annoying I fucking hate federalism. How many trillions of dollars does it cost us in administrative overhead in so many aspects of the economy for literally no reason

Or even, are artists accentuating certain features to make characters look better *because* traditional video game lighting flattens them a bit, so changing the lighting makes them look over compensated? Honestly I find the whole perceptual thing here fascinating in like an academic way

Now I’m curious if the directionality is wrong and DLSS 5 looks like a “yassify” filter because artists are designing characters to be unrealistically attractive as is and trying to apply (an approximation of) more realistic lighting to them just brings it out more?

youtu.be/PHRfcDUpg_Q?... This is probably incredibly unsurprising coming from me but man I’m being negatively polarized by the sheer hive mind of DLSS 5 hate. The stigma for merely being ambivalent to curious about fucking video game rendering/upscaling tech is INSANE.

The #1 thing voters want to hear right now is that this is a WW2 level commitment! Brilliant!

Bandwagon

"I wish something would get Trump to support Ukraine" *monkey paw curls*

A $150+ BBL is cheap as fuck idk why everyone is freaking out about it isn’t it normally like $8-9k

NEVER LET ANYONE TELL YOU YOUR VOTE DOESN’T COUNT

“Noooo my glup shitto credit union doesn’t have all the required things from a state on the other side of the country”

So I did use my bonus to fix my stupid mistake with my laptop and get a MacBook Neo and am going to sell my Surface Laptop... The hype is entirely deserved the PC laptop industry needs a massive fire lit under their ass. Teenage me would die seeing how much of an Apple fanboy I am now lmao

I learned my lesson hating DLSS 1.0. The DLSS 5 demo looks awkward and seems like it’ll be a long time until it’s worth using in most games. I’m not saying it *will* follow that trajectory but I’m not going to get angry about it and declare it’s totally worthless and will amount to nothing lmao

Supportive but clueless title clerk father hearing his trans daughter got “FFS” only knowing that as “Ferrari Financial Services” How did you, uh, hmm, I just, you know what good for you 🤗

Admittedly this looks a little uncanny to me at first. It will be interesting to see where the tech goes. But the people insisting that it changed the geometry and not just the lighting are sending me. It's almost like lighting is incredibly important to how we perceive things 😱

Jared Polis is canonically an archon btw

The path to true gnosis is achieved by learning all of the obscure knowledge and wisdom as it relates to titling and registering cars and the Colorado DMV was invented by the demiurge to lead us astray and prevent us from becoming one with the monad

Becoming a gnostic of gnostics. The demiurge is good actually and enlightenment comes from learning mainstream knowledge.

The 2000s were such boobslop

To be clear I was only a couple hours in when I posted this. The combat is very basic and doesn't really evolve or progress past getting different weapons. It's already starting to get kind of tired. It's like the idea has potential but its not very fleshed out.

I think I’m brave enough to try upgrading my steam deck to 32gb ram but fuck this stupid ram crisis. It’d cost way too much now and then if I break my steam deck, I couldn’t get a replacement if I wanted lol

NONONONONONONONONONONONONO So my desktop is just running on integrated graphics while my GPU is away for RMA. And somehow I went to use it and the same fucking error message that's been plaguing me was just sitting there? Please god don't mean that the issue is actually something else 😭

BASED JDPON Don tells first world freeloaders that if they want their treatler juice they’ll have to collect it themselves!

Fallout if it was good: Sisterhood of Bronze

I’m playing Fallout Brotherhood of Steel just out of morbid curiosity really and honestly I don’t hate it. It’s silly and feels weird next to the other games but the gameplay is kinda fun.

It’s weird playing Halo 3 at 720p because of device limitations and remembering that is actually higher fidelity than it was back in the day.
