You don’t typically pay to run Linux distros. They’re open-source. I can’t imagine they’d be subject to this.

Apparently there’s a way to install Win11 and bypass all these requirements.

Can’t beat them for games that require low latency input though. Just playing retro games on them is worth owning one.

What about all the people that breathed in that toxic cloud or injured themselves trying to run away from the chaos? Surely many of them ended up in hospital.

Literally The Sims having sex.

I knew it!

I love when people throw around the idea of Canadian provinces just being up for grabs, as if we want anything to do with what’s going on south of the border.

I love the hive mind coming out of the wood work to downvote comments just because someone else has. I’ve noticed that often here. It was especially bad on Reddit. They see a zero or a negative one and have to put their unreasoned stamp on it too.

I bought the game a couple months ago and have put maybe 6 hrs into it so far so yeah, having someone spoil a part of the plot just because the game has been out for a while is fucking shitty.

This was a great read. What a monumental effort to emulate that device. The perseverance is inspiring, honestly.

Bad form indeed. Ruined it for me.

Who on earth is gonna shoot a starling for food?

Have you seen starlings? They can fit in the palm of your hand.

Why the fuck should they feel responsible for this hellhole. The generations before them fucked it all up.

This is like sharing an apartment with someone and then shitting in the corner, spitting on the mirror in the bathroom and leaving dishes everywhere and then being mad about them not caring about the cleanliness of the space that you yourself ruined.

Horseshit.

You hate to say it because you know this is a ridiculous take. There’s no fucking way that the parents are “more at fault” for their son’s death than the company whose product encouraged him to hide his feelings from his parents and coached him on how to commit suicide.

*I have excellent parents and even they were not privy to the depths of my emotions as a kid. * You are actively choosing to ignore the realities of childhood as well as parenthood to play some shitty devil’s advocate online.
