which is 1.5x more powerful than a 5090

…are you sure? I think you’re mistaken.

They do, but they also might not.

The part of your skin that actually causes your fingerprint is relatively deep into your skin. So it’d need to be a pretty serious injury to permanently change your fingerprint at all.

I’d be shocked if it was your GPU causing long load times, that’s not usually the culprit for that kind of thing unless you don’t have enough VRAM. It’s probably another part of your system the game arbitrarily dislikes, or it’s just generally being shit.

I’ve never seen ‘drag race’ used in this context, and I was wondering how you were about to compare drag racing (like with cars) with wrestling.

Nah, at least this once it’s definitely not a US defaultism thing.

As an American, this is the first time I’ve thought about pro wrestling in a very very long time.

Why not? What definition of ‘athlete’ are you even using? Did you just decide this?

You don’t need to be wired in order to self host things? It’s better, ofc, but far from required. You can just do it via wifi.

My experience with self hosting begins and ends with video game servers and jellyfin, though, so maybe I’m wrong here.

Tbf, they’ve been doing that with a reasonable amount of success with Rainbow Six Siege.

yes. It’s a thing. https://mcsus.com/products/68-water-balls-tube-of-10 No clue if they’re good or not, but they exist.

There’s also paintballs with clear paint, or reballs which are basically just rubber balls meant to be fired out of a paintball gun.

Honestly, if we’re talking modern games I think games that don’t utilize multithreading to at least some degree would be a significantly shorter list.

I too despise the obsession with making videogames look like they were filmed for some inexplicable reason lol.

GAMMA has faction questlines. I’m not sure how good of an experience they are because that is very much not why I play GAMMA, but they definitely exist.

Also: if you install GAMMA and are initially utterly disgusted by the depth of field, don’t panic you can turn it off lol.

TIL. I didn’t realize it started in the browser originally.

Warframe can be super overwhelming, though. There’s a billion things to do and it’s hard to know where to start. I had issues with that when I was getting back into the game awhile back, and I’d already completed a ton of the content. If you actually want tips on how to manage it: set short term goals and long term goals, and just go for those. Shut out anything that isn’t relevant and focus on specifically on whatever you decided was your goals. My long term goal, for example, was to complete all the story quests. My short term goals were basically a checklist of things I needed to do to start the next quest lol.

Plus, the game being almost entirely PVE means that in my experience the community is great. If you have questions or need help just ask, and someone will probably be willing to help. There’s an excellent Warframe community over on the dormi.zone instance. It’s reasonably active and they’re helpful over there. Plus Q&A chat is just in the game.

Fair enough- I find leveling stuff is fine if I either do it passively via either just equipping a weapon I don’t intend to use or just specifically focus farming leveling. But Warframe is very firmly not for everyone.

Web Fishing is just outright paid, is it not? The game is $5 on steam.

There’s a few examples of F2P games with good monetization. Warframe comes to mind immediately. I’ve heard Path Of Exile is also a solid example of F2P done right, but don’t have personal experience with that one.

I think ‘premium’ in this case is synonymous with ‘not free to play’.

A (rumored) $40 live service battle-royale… outlook bad for this game.

Yeah, okay. Without the context I see how you arrived to internet drama. I wasn’t connecting the dots properly.

Nobody is mad about being banned from Club Penguin, it’s expected- because they would insta-ban you based off a rudimentary chat filter- and these were popular memes for awhile.

Uh, okay. I didn’t realize the existence of Club Penguin was ‘internet drama’. That’s the part that confused me lol.

‘Retro’ in a gaming sense is often used interchangeably with ‘Vintage’, as far as I can tell.

The subreddit r/Retrogaming even has this gem on their sidebar:
