Obviously because the child with cancer is just a drain on national resources and he's doing the country a favour.

/s for me, but I suspect that this is how he rationalizes it. He does love Hitler, after all.

Feel free to degrade me.

Are you okay?

I'm not home right now, but I'll follow up with more formal testing either tomorrow or the next day. I'm very interested in why such similiar machines get completely different performance.

The machine in question is sporting a Ryzen 3600, for discussion sake.

The vast majority of the Bible was simply guidelines to keep people healthy and happy. All this "the skin of the pig is unclean" stuff? They hadn't figured out germs yet. No sex until marriage? No contraceptives, so don't create uncared for children. I won't waste my time on it but, when examined in context, this is the vast majority, if not the entirety of the bible: lessons on how to be safe and happy relative to the time, made digestable and relevant to the common person.

Sucks they had to get there via fear of imaginary, post-life pain, and it sucks twice as hard that they've neglected to rationalize that part as the rest of the belief structure has modernized.

Ah, yes, jokes like "Russia is right" and "Tiananmin square is American propaganda." Gosh darn my easily offended sensibilities, sparking wars between like-minded leftists, all because I can't take a joke.

Fuck off.

My partners RX6600 holds 80 FPS on mid settings without framegen. Maybe the gap between med and high is larger than I realize, or there's an ultra setting I hadn't noticed, but the author's experiences still seem out of whack.

I feel like this has been a trend lately. New, high-fidelity game releases, and the wave of "UNOPTIMIZED GARBAGE!" "dev, fix ur game!" starts rolling, only for myself, and the majority of people I speak to personally, to have no real issues. Feels rude to play this card, but I am starting to lean towards most people having no idea how to care for their machine, in a lot of cases, and rarely facing some weirdly specific drive/card compatibility stuff.

Don't mistake those fascists for socialists. They're just cheering for the other empire and lying about it. They shit on left-leaning groups because those groups stand between them and the totalitarian regime they desire.

God fucking dammit.

I have a multiple friends who, whenever they find success, almost immediately feel guilty and apologize to anyone else involved. In every case, those friends come from backgrounds where they were surrounded by narcissists. The guilt and apologies are a programmed response because "friends" and family would always frame their success as someone else's, usually their own, loss. This is now the lens they see every success through.

Win at a game? Apologize to the people you beat. Interview well and be offered a new job? Feel guilty about the other applicants. Hell, go out for a meal with friends and your food comes first? "I'm so sorry, guys."

Narcissists have programmed these friends to believe that they are undeserving of success, or even good luck, and that they should apologize for existing. I do my best to reassure them when I can, "you earned this," or "you had nothing to do with this happening," but ultimately it's something they have to grapple with until they can figure out for themselves how to grow past that programming.

I have no idea if this applies to your situation, but it is a lens to consider.

Make no mistake, the game the ruling class has always played has been: "how do I abuse these people just enough to keep them desperate, without overstepping and leaving them with no choice but to rebel?" Lately, the children, and grandchildren of the ogliarchs who knew how to play this game have been taking over as their predecessors age out, and, in their hubris, have been over reaching in acts of entitlement. They, like many of us, have failed to recognize the game for what it is and it is already causing the deaths of many people. At this rate, it will spark visible war. Luigi was one man, and there have been many more like him brewing since.

This thread is actually huge, so apologies if this has already been recommended, but take a look at Against the Storm. It's an indie city-builder with a bit of a rogue-like spin. You can usually get it on fairly deep sales, and the rogue-like elements combined with some meta-progression gives it a real play length, even though a single city-building session is a ~45-60 minute experience.

Holy fuck the throwback meme.
