It’s on sale on steam right now. I said screw it and am diving in mostly blind, only watched one video on steam after reading this post. Wish me luck

We should survey the linux_gaming community. That will give us a larger sample size that’s definitely representative of the broader trends

Sounds like SEE (single event effect) if it’s something fixable by software.

TID (total ionizing dose) is another flavor of radiation effect on components, but that’s a total lifetime effect where it slowly degrades. Using rad hard parts or adding extra shielding is the main fix.

SEEs are transient effects from high energy charged particles that can cause bit flips and latch ups in circuitry depending on where the particle hits and deposits it’s charge in the circuitry. Extra shielding can help prevent these as well, but they can also be mitigated in software, sometimes the fix is just error detection, or power cycling a specific section of circuitry to clear a latchup

Except I get water. I just want water, with no ice

Also makes sense that in higher stress situations like combat, they’d be fighting for control more frequently than when they’re chilling in camp.

I only see pH 1 in the cupboard, guess I’ll just have to chug 14 L of it today

Fond memories of trying out every single glitch I could find for Pokemon Gens I and II. A lot were a load of crap, but there were a few good ones

My favorite was the Pokemon cloning glitch in Gen 2. If you did it right, you could get all 3 starters and force your rival to have the starter of your choosing. It took a couple hours to do though, because it requires saving right before you get your starter and then not saving again until you’re allowed to catch your first Pokemon. And then repeating the process.

I’m a young millennial and it was still going strong in the 00s, so I believe it. My family of 5 no joke went through 1.5-2 gallons PER DAY in ~2005

Yes. I’ve been dabbling in Linux on and off for 10 years. Finally made the full transition and said fuck my gaming PC, it got swapped to Linux too, if games don’t work I just won’t play them, I’ll get over it. Now my only windows device is my work laptop

No thanks. I’ve lived in 6 different US states in the past 6 years. I understand I’m an extreme edge case, but I’m a huge fan of renting apartments at this stage in my life.

Now maybe in this hypothetical society with better housing and whatnot, I wouldn’t have felt the need to hustle and grind and work my way up the corporate ladder and move around as much as I did… But for my situation, yea I like renting

Greekus Yogurtius… Yes… Very roman

But they gotta save us from eternal damnation, it’s for our own good, we don’t know any better (/s if it’s really needed)

If robo-cops were a thing already I’d be with you, until then I don’t see ICE losing their paychecks any time soon.

And I never said I trust that they follow the law, but I trust that they want ICE paid

True. But. Why would the current administration choose to NOT pay them…?

Delete “big rack” and “hits me”, move “yells at me” to the top and modify to “yells at me to go fucking kill myself” and now it’s my ex.

For reference, if you can physically feel an ESD (electrostatic discharge) event, aka shock, then it’s at probably least 3kV, could be 10+ kV. But they’re incredibly short duration transients, on the order of microseconds.

And own and operate. “Invest” was just kind of an umbrella term. But unintentionally made them seem less fucked up

Company that invests in private prisons. Both times trump was elected, their stock doubled within the following weeks/months. Jesus that’s fucked
