I’m unable to get any info on what my grandpa did after leaving active duty and going to work for LM on government contracts. I have paperwork mentioning him, and it’s alllllllll still sharpied out almost 70 years later. Dude was a logistics engineer, he basically organized warehouses, yet apparently was so important to the nuclear sub program (Mare Island in the 50s & 60s tells me that much) apparently that I’m not allowed any further info

It’s entirely possible he didn’t know what he was working on, I only have guesses because of other shit we know from decades after his death

Dr Mercer was advantageous to the Marker to have alive and doing his work, so he isn’t killed until his usefulness has run its course

Canonically: the markers try to influence people to do what will assist in Unification. Isaac vehemently doesn’t believe in Unitology so the marker throws enemies at him to try to stop him / manipulate him into doing what it wants (in DS2 & 3). Other people in the series are believers, so they don’t need to be killed off if they’re more useful alive for the time being

Survivors lasting by staying behind locked doors isn’t too unbelievable, either, given the fall of the Ishimura took a while (1 month from marker discovery to it getting on board the ship), and you arrive not that long after it falls (less than a week). It’s been at most a week since she went dark, I think, which is a believable timeframe to survive given the comms going black is at least a day before the big fall of the ship

Oh hey my memory was pretty close: Check the year 2508 section

Other games absolutely pull that shit too much, but DS did a pretty good job with background story details to explain why some people aren’t dead

Ah, so it’s going to flop hard, at least by Beth standards

They scared a lot of us away with Shitfield, if I can’t fix it with mods then I’m not gonna bother even pirating that shite

Idk what I’ve traded to never have issues with that file, but I worry every day that the horror is ahead of me and not behind

Because nobody’s making something like the Steam Controller 1, but better, which is what a SC2 would be, one assumes

If someone else were to make one I’m sure people would cream their jeans if they weren’t bespoke and expensive

biting the hands that fed

That’s not how that saying works, dawg

As much as I love Aero, one probably should use secure and supported OS for gaming

Of course, Windows 10 & 11 are harder to make look actually like Aero than basically any Linux DE, because they hate you

Microsoft hides how their server shit works behind their certifications

Source: I’ve been taught how to use Windows server edition by people who got their certs. I assume it’s somewhat a joke, but cannot be certain

Yeah, shows make cops look better than they are for sure, but they totally do the opposite by accident a lot too, just in stupider (and still realistic) ways

another murder? That’s the 12th this month, Jimmy! We’d better start looking into this!

as you can see I drew myself as the Chad and you as the soyjack, so I win

Legitimate criticism of someone isn’t incel behaviour bruh

It’s the unofficial updater for nVidia graphics on Linux. If you’re running Mint you should use the Driver Manager software instead, imo

I’d advise going with an AMD card, personally just moved away from nVidia due to a mix of too many issues with Linux that are nVidias fault + being way more expensive than similarly powered AMD GPUs

Sounds like a you problem

God, I hope it does. Those here in CA, too. Alfalfa shouldnt be grown where we grow it and I’m so happy to see the Trump supporters get what they voted for

I’ll be joyous when I see local farms fail, I can think of 3 that rely on alfalfa exporting to survive and I do hope they starve

I know how to compile my own software, but I’m not gonna fucking do it. I’ll leave a comment where I can calling the devs lazy assholes (because they are) and move on with life, as will many others

Because that’s unnecessary elitism, and it’s gross. Also, 1 step of extra work is bullshit and wastes human life for no fuckin reason

I’ve been hearing about Linux elitists for the last 20 years, and I have yet to meet one.

Post/browse a help forum, it doesn’t take long to find them

Yes, bigoted dipshit.

Assuming all Americans support their government and treating them poorly because of it is being a bigoted dipshit, simple as

And the dissenting comments to that opinion all read almost exactly like how MAGAts talk, it’s funny and gross how much like them you are

All horoscopes are made up, it’s how they work

If you think YOURE annoyed by the kid, just imagine how the parents must feel with everyone hating them for it, too! Think of the poor, helpless parent who had no other choice but to put an infant on an airplane

Every time this topic came up on Reddit. Babies should be banned from planes or cost more to take on them

It clears your sinus / ear tubes, useful for pressure equalization even when walking mild elevation changes

Probably at least somewhat related to that somehow I bet

I went to get it after leaving the comment and am devastated to remember that I had it saved in a text file that I lost. I’ll try to remember to dig through my history to find it, but I do know I found it by basic web search a few years back and that there are many of them in existence, so it shouldn’t be hard to find one of your own if I forget
