Usernames on normal social media existed for over 20 years, just sayin'

Just watched Supergirl and it's completely 100% unnecessary. Not a single person would get disappointed if they would never make it.

- A girl dreams of revenge
- An alcoholic SG helps her
- Now they spend 72 hours to fight common sense enemies...

Why do you have so much medieval and mad-Max like stuff in space? Why is there lack of government in the sector? Why a tiny bunch of creeps terrorize that many planets? None of it makes sense. Not even remotely!

Jason Momoa is good 👍

A Russian couple climbed up to the Empire State Building skyscraper with Jimi Hendrix's quote for peace, engaged up there, then got arrested and released (to wait for the second court hearing). Nice folks 😁

When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace!

The candidate for the upcoming presidential elections in France stood up against PlayStation and Rockstar in their lack of disks.

Shuhei Yoshida (yosp):
Thoughts after a few hours of playing with Steam Machine.

- 3D performance is just…meh.
- The system recommends to default to 1080p - am I going back to PS4 days?
- Some games take a looooooong time to boot, what is it doing?
- System UI is easy to use.
- Being able to boot up by pressing a button on Steam Controller is a killer feature.
- Changeable face plate is nice.
- Random boot up videos is a nice touch :)
- Sticks on Steam Controller is a bit looser than my taste.
- Having touch pad is nice, but it is very “touchy” and hard to use.
- It allows me to play Steam games on my living room TV, which is a reason enough to keep it.
- But the price was very unfriendly. Hard to recommend to people unless for research.

Silly people 😅 (via)

It took about 20 minutes for one of the first Steam Machines to get the GPU fried. To make it funnier, the errors are marked as LED-stripe on the frontal part of the device. Which reminds of the legendary XBOX Ring of Death issue but it took weeks before the first case appeared, not days.

Users can't replace the GPU alone, it's not replaceable, so they've had to ask for the replacement from Valve (and wait due to supply issues)

My hopes for The Witcher 4 are still not that high. Replayed Cyberpunk a few days ago and oh boi, it has nothing to say after 150 hours. My whole experience with CDPR games is love and hate.
