Same here. Dope music though

Got roped back into Tarkov because of the PvE mode. (I got the EoD edition on sale a while ago)

They are very precise, cover the whole french territory, are all in the same format, follow the same standards and the paper maps are not too expensive. There are topographical maps at a 1:25000 scale, and roadmaps at a 1:250000 scale. And these paper maps are as sturdy as they can be, my dad has been rocking some of them for almost his entire life.

I guess I just get too excited about state funded institutions that provide good service to the public and still exist in 2024. Them paper maps can really be a lifesaver when you’re hiking in the more remote parts of France though

Also IGN (Institut géographique national) maps are amazing

Wow ok, let’s just act like it wasn’t because I just installed Linux on my new gaming PC 🙄

Who needs 1000hz 4k when 120hz 2k is already stupidly expensive to achieve with most AAA games

I have not tried to run a ton of games, but so far, Darktide runs pretty much as well as I could have expected, and helldivers 2 runs great too, but so far I have not found a way to play it twice without reinstalling it. I have a weird issue with V rising displaying some debug texture in the main menu but other than that it has no major issue either.

Idk what you tried with pop OS, and you probably don’t need this advice anymore, but I do have a somewhat similar setup (7900X 3D, 3080 Ti) and I couldn’t get anything to run without the 550 drivers (I had the 470 version installed by default) nor the flatpak version of Steam, in case that helps anyone seeing this.

I have only used it for a little more than a day so far, but I’m already in love with it because it basically required 0 tinkering to get my Nvidia GPU to work, and the few games I have tried have been running almost flawlessly.

Good thing that the existence of a GUI for a program doesn’t prevent you from using its CLI version then !

Yes, stocks were made to finance human businesses and be traded between humans to exchange “parts” of a company easily. I’m not fond of capitalism but I can’t deny that the stock market provides value under this system. But I don’t see where high frequency trading actually brings any of the value it “generates” into this.

My main issues with our current brand of capitalism is that money can be very far removed from reality, with things like greenhouse gasses emissions being effectively “free” even though they affect everyone on the planet, including our economic systems. So, the way I see it, it heavily incentivizes short term profits at the cost of basically everything else. Unless we regulate the hell out of it I guess, but apparently that is a sin against the free market

Sure, it’s probably only worth it for huge banks that hook almost directly into transcontinental internet cables (to which my anti capitalist ass would say, that’s probably why it’s legal), but to me, that still basically generating some profits by exploiting a “glitch” in the implementation of stock trades while bringing absolutely no real value to the system.

Also high frequency trading generating money from dips/spikes in stocks’ values that are too short lived to affect anything on a human scale. And banks lending money (and thus generating interests from it) they don’t actually have yet but I think it’s related to the fiat currency thing ?

With leather it usually takes weeks of wearing them at least 5-10h a day

Wifi card. Well, I don’t really use it but it is plugged in.

“gangs of idiots” smashed the prototype looms because they knew they would put them out of work. And they were right, even though the machines were probably a net benefit for society in the end.

It will be the same with AI. If it ends up actually benefiting humanity as a whole, it will 100% be a side effect of a few assholes getting insanely rich, or from massive governmental regulation.

Also net weight vs gross weight. I think there’s a law that regulates this where I live (France) because it’s always specified but I don’t see it here.

I assume OP is from Canada because I see English and French on the packaging. I lived there for a few years and was losing my mind over this kind of stuff the entire time. Prices never include taxes even though you basically always have to pay them, price per pound/gallon/unit is never displayed either and they really try to swindle you with this, I constantly saw “family sized” or whatever packages that actually cost more per pound than the regular version when I did the math. So I’m not surprised.

Tbh I didn’t really play any games after 3rd gen until the 2nd gen remakes on the DS. But yeah random encounters are annoying in every game they’re a part of

Imo that part was much worse in gen 1. When they started adding multi exp and all that stuff it made grinding much less annoying

As far as I know MHW did not use the RE engine. Not sure about Rise

Edit: Rise does apparently run on the RE engine.

I have not used it for a long time but it’s really easy to fuck the install and potentially your entire system, depending on the fuckup(s).

As a matter of fact, that is exactly why I used it the first time : since it’s a nice lightweight distro and it has some interesting gotchas regarding installation, our sysadmin teacher had us all install it and set it up before we could actually use our distro of choice
