If we say that the accepted pronunciation of “X” is “ex” then we run into an even bigger problem than Prince’s logo.

“Ex” User says… Is this a former user of the website or current?

A user on the website “ex” is too long winded and sounds like I’m saying a hypothetical.

Users on “ex” - although shorter, X is a street name for ecstacy and user is sometimes used as shorthand for drug user (e.g. User and abuser) so why should we be listening to a cracked out party kid?

The golden ticket is “formerly Twitter” because we actually know what the fuck that one is.

I’m willing to bet there’s at least one X user on X right now.

How long was Prince “The Artist Formerly Known as Prince”?

Yeah, the rest of his life.

Twitter probably will have the same laid upon it.

I mean, I believe in you. You technically CAN do something about that. It will probably break in the process though.

You throwing babies away?

Eastern Syria houses a big prison full of ISIS guys, so ISIS wants them back. They hang out and attack the prison every now and again. Countries don’t want their ISIS members back and the SDF is the only ones willing to hold them.

So, every now and again “the coalition” sends some US jets over to bomb them and in return they’ll probably attack a checkpoint in northern Iraq.

Not to defend the game itself but Neptunia is at least on some level a parody of other JRPGs, so the title is meant invoke that cringe. The first one was still called Hyperdimension Neptunia and the “resemicolonbirth” line was a remake which has its own remake now as well with a star in the title…

So, like I said, not defending it.

I heard that more commonly referring to Micro USB but, yeah, most people used to ask what phone you have, not what cable.

You liked the drunken bum half. It just gets more stupid when the other guy’s woman is a super hero too.

I’m still using a 1070ti and hitting stable 60fps with newer games. Medium to low settings, usually but most slow down comes from poor optimization since I’m running a 12th Gen and regularly see medium usage on both GPU and CPU.

Called once to ask, they said go to urgent care.

Then billed me for a telehealth visit and also the Urgent Care billed me too.

The commentators have repeatedly said Russia and Belarus are both banned this year due to the invasion of Ukraine.

Just, They dope like crazy but I guess in Olympic speak that just means they can’t fly the Russian flag.

I mean, the DIN hole was a standard size but it certainly wasn’t a ‘socket’ and anyone who had a Ford Focus that needed a Mercedes-Benz writing harness to plug up their aftermarket radio knows what I’m on about.

Seven systems in my house -

3 Windows 10 - One my gaming/workstation rig, my living room HTPC, and a Dell XPS 13 1 Ubuntu - Rig I cobbled together from older parts for player 2. 2 SteamOS - They’re Steam Decks after all… 1 Windows 11 - Work computer. I use the XPS if I can avoid it.

This is Analogue’s response to WulffDen’s video on the people who make the aluminum reshell for the Pocket.

Look, the Pocket is a great device for it’s MSRP and not a dollar over. I love having one but it’s not worth any of the “exclusive” editions.

It depends who the Republicans and Democrats are. Republican Voters fell in love - Establishment Republicans fell in line. Republican Officials all talked about how terrible Trump was and would be but still get on their knees when it’s time.

Democratic Voters fall in love, with Bernie and AOC and their guy. Establishment Democrats tell them to get in line… Well, the Voters either do or don’t show up.

So, you’re correct that the original subversion was true but it also depends on who any individual commenter references as “The Dems” and “The Repubs” which you can always shift to suit your needs.

The Republican party pretends they’re wagging the dog but they don’t even have a leash.

DOD Imagery guidelines state that only color correction can be applied to “make the image appear the same as it was when it was captured” otherwise it must be labeled “DOD illustration” instead of “DOD Imagery”

Right? I thought I went crazy when I got to “I just used Generative Fill!” Like, he didn’t just auto adjust the exposure and black levels! C’mon!

Eh, Americans got that 24 hour news cycle brain. You can just admit to all the war crimes and not have to hide them for 50 years.

In a world where Sony and Embracer are running around saying we need to be paying $70+ for games (while tipping the devs and buying micro transactions like a good like wallet)… You’re mad at the storefront?

Yeah, go into Walmart and demand they take less of a cut so… The publisher can take more from the devs?

Gabe is rich because he spearheaded a good service (which I’ll admit I thought was a scam back when I was forced to make an account way back when I had dial up) but… 30% is standard. For the price of games? Be mad at Embracer. Be mad at EA. You’re free to not like or use Steam but they let the publishers set the price. Their cut is a drop in the bucket. The whole ‘cut’ debate is just EGS propaganda.

Different guy but I’ve got over 2,700 games on Steam thanks to sales… So I’ve probably saved at least one thousand… Maybe not two, unless we count not buying for Star Citizen as a savings!
