Ohhhh. Alright. I misunderstood.

Thank you for this.

I don't know who that is

Doom 2? From 1994?

I should play that game again

I said the things in such a way as to exaggerate for comedic effect and also to contradict myself, again, for comedic effect.

The underlying circumstances of being spoken to by someone in person while also having someone's voice nearly blowing my eardrum out over the radio, was entirely accurate.

I got a lot of this kind of thing today, except it wasn't headphones it was an earpiece for a two way radio, and it was designed to not stand out.... So I kinda asked for it.

But then people would rudely relay important information on the radio with no regard for the conversation I'm having; and since the other person has no idea I just got earblasted with someone's voice, they keep yapping on about their insignificant drivel and I miss half the conversation because of the priority messages rudely coming through the radio.

I was volunteering, doing communications at a local fairground.... This weekend it was a renaissance faire. Fun.

Yeah, the last bit there is just truth.

The first bit.... Not so sure that anyone should be admitting that in a public forum.

I dunno if that's better.... Or worse.

Honestly, all politicians are crooks and liars, so nothing here surprises me.

I would think that Hillary having some experience in accepting bribes, would know...

So idk why everyone is doing the pot/kettle thing (with various wordings). She's speaking from experience.

Corruption is probably one thing that Hillary knows about, and she's calling it out. Doesn't mean she's any less guilty of being bribed, not does it mean that this isn't a bribe for Trump, nor does that mean we should be unhappy at Trump and not unhappy at her for them both doing it.

My point here is, why not both?

You're saying that this has been reposted for longer than their marriage lasted?

Seems about right.

You're clearly joking, but for the unaware, "Uber" is a crowdsource taxi/rideshare service. An "Uber pool" is similar to a carpool. Where you share the vehicle with other riders. Making the "Uber" vehicle, aka, someone else's car, into what is essentially a bus.

I've heard rumors that Uber is even talking about having drivers run a set route.... Like buses do.

We've come full circle.

First, I can't afford a new computer or even a new graphics card. All these "gaming on a budget" type things are all priced in USD, and I'm in Canada after conversion and the Canada tax, local shops are selling it for a lot more.... I can only imagine that going up with the tariffs.

Second, graphics ain't shit. Look at some of the most popular games around and some of them have the "worst" graphics. I don't mean to pick on any game in specific, but I'll mention two notable examples: the first is Minecraft. Square voxels and pretty basic visuals all around. Easily one of the most popular titles of all time. I don't play it, but I get it. The other example I want to point to is schedule I. Honestly the graphics in the game, when compared to the nearly realistic content that games like assassin's Creed has, and it's basically trash by comparison. The game is huge and hugely popular. The graphics, or lack thereof, is not a detractor from how fun the game is.

Don't get me wrong. High graphics can contribute to a good game; and therein lies the problem. You need to have a good game that you can apply the graphics to, in order for it to be valuable. If you take away the graphics and replace the visuals with something far more basic, and the game loses its appeal, your game sucks. Fix that first, then try again.

I have a pretty massive collection of steam titles that I'm planning to play as things start to devolve into higher and higher specs for basically no gains. Like ray tracing, it's cool, looks good... But I don't need it to have fun in a game. I usually turn it off because it compromises performance for basically no real gain. Sure, shadows look a bit more shit, and lights aren't as glowy, but I don't care about that. I just want to play. Why is RT a requirement for some games now? The hell?

Anyways. High graphics are better in more cinematic games, but publishers have gotten so obsessed with making cinematic content that they forgot to include a game with it.

Give me more substance, more character development, more scenes, not just action.

Hold up. Rewind.

They used to assign fault during a divorce? What the hell?

Why was that ever a thing?
