In my first briefcase I stored my MS Paint drawings. I got a new job and bought a bigger briefcase, and now I put my Linux isos in there.

Jesus of Nazareth, while being crucified:

“Father, why have you forsaken me?”

Trump of McD:

“Father! Why have you— and I have to tell you, Its really true. I heard it’s the biggest news ever, the ones that those fake news outlets won’t publish to real Americans. But the news I got from our Father, and I mean, only he could tell this to me. No one knows more about this than me, as I’ve talked to some really smart people about it. And I gotta say, these experts, they really know what they’re doing. You know, they’re really smart and they’ve even told me that I’ve got a smart… uh, you know what. But I gotta say that only I can bring you the real news. The real news only for my fellow Americans, and it’s really just come down to this. This one thing, right? You know I was in Ohio once, great state, beautiful state. Some of the best people I’ve ever seen. They’re huge. And I mean huuuuuuuge. These Ohioans really know how to show their support. And boy did they support me, especially when I told them what I’m all about. I’m here for Americans, and we need to let these dumb idiots - and I gotta say, they’re dumb. Some of the dumbest I’ve ever seen, and nobody would know that more than me. We need to take back this country. We can’t let sleepy, uh, you know who I’m talking about - yeah! That’s right. We can’t let sleepy Joe Bin something tear democracy about. We have to be united, we have to tell the fake news that we won’t stand for un justice, we can’t let Gaza do that thing they’re doing with Nesquick. Look, I gotta tell you folks, we need to stand together, and uh on Notember 5, we need to vote Trump. A vote for me is the best thing you can do. No, seriously. Really I mean that. And know one I know can endorse me harder than I know I can, you know? And I think you know that, too. Look, it’s really simple. The best thing you can do is make sure we take back the presidency from the fake news, from these illegal… uh, things they did to me, and you know, we gotta make sure that — and seriously, I mean it. We gotta make sure that we um, pardon all those things I got the other day in court. Truly a sad day. A dark day in American history, right? Isn’t that right? I mean. I talked to a bunch of experts about it, and if you heard these guys talk - and I gotta say, they’re some of the smartest experts I’ve ever witnessed. Best in the business, they’re huge. Huuuuuuuge experts. Seriously. But I talked to them, and I says, what can Americans do about the injustice they face. And they simply said to me: Vote Biden. I mean Trump. Trump! Look, let’s make sure to vote on December 4. Best thing we can do to get rid of this traitor filth ruining our land, defil- dephil— uh, doing the bad thing to our country. We have to vote him out, and you gotta show up. Let’s show our support so the democrats don’t win the house. We can’t let them take the news. And no one trust me, no one knows more about the precendental house more than I do. It’s true, really. Sad day in America. Just tragic. Democracy must win. We gotta get the sleepy Joe and we have to fake our news so Justin can retain in the world! Nobody, and I meant, no can me better than I. Dead ass, no cap, son. And I mean that, really I do. No one can shit in my diaper better than I can. Tremendous shit, some of the smelliest. But true shit. American shit.”

Happy cake day @ruud@lemmy.world ! Appreciate you hosting all us Reddit Refugees when the Reddit Third-Party API Exodus happened one year ago! And big shout out to you and the other volunteer mods and admins, across multiple instances, that put in their free time to stabilize Lemmy World during the massive uptick in user registration, handling the codebase, the upgrade challenges, the creepy CSAM bad actors last year, and saw us through all the intermittent downtimes we had periodically. Lemmy World has been super stable and reliable since then.

Reminder to all reading this: if you can, chip in and help with server costs for this valuable service. Decentralization FTW

I used to be okay with ads. Back then, they were on television often and gave you a chance to check on things, use the restroom, etc. Internet advertising in the 90s and early 2000s was annoying and pervasive. I was fine with banner ads and only one popup, because you could easily close it and crack on.

But then ads (and the Internet) became personalized with pervasive and predatory tracking. Coupled with the manipulation of algorithms, I’ve grown to despise most centralized systems. I hate advertising and now I make sure to take heavy measures to block as much as I can and reduce my footprint as much as possible within my control.

If companies turn off their telemetry and the personalization, stop selling my information with reckless abandon, and stop leaking my data where they claim “your privacy and security is important to us”, then and only then will I disable my ad blockers.

Ubisoft has said the recently released Skull and Bones has achieved “record player engagement” since launch, although it has yet to announce how many copies it’s sold or how many players it has.

EDIT January 6, 2024:

All games have been accepted by the winners! Thanks everyone for your participation! I loved reading the different messages and hearing some of the positives, the things that made you feel hopeful, and a bit about some of the games you've played. While I wish I could give you all more copies of games, we will do another giveaway like this in the future.

Stay safe, and happy 2024 ahead!

EDIT January 5, 2024:

Minor edit for posterity. All games have been claimed apart from God of War. Each winner of God of War never responded so I'm working down the list through a randomizer to select the eligible winner for this game. I'll update this post one final time as soon as we have an eligible winner that claims this final giveaway.

EDIT January 4, 2024:

There was no response received for the selected winners for Elden Ring and God of War.

I am re-drawing for both these games and will update this post once these final two game codes are accepted by the new winners.

EDIT January 3, 2024:

All games have been claimed apart from two: Elden Ring and God of War. Considering it is the holiday and there may be some obligations, I'm extending the 24 hour window by another 24 hours. If the winners do not reply by Jan 4, 2024 ~ 9 AM ET, they will be forfeit and I will re-draw new winners.

EDIT January 2, 2024:

Giveaway Ended! All winners have been notified, but they have 24 hours to respond. If the winner does not respond, I will re-draw for the new winner the next day until all codes have been exhausted.

I will also be editing this post periodically to acknowledge who won and if they accepted.

I loved reading all these comments, and thanks for everyone responding here and also sharing an optional story! There's a lot of positivity and hope out there, which makes me also feel the same.

P.S. - I really wish I could afford more games to giveaway to you all, but we can certainly do something like this in the future and perhaps make some kind of collaborative giveaway.

Stay safe, and happy new year ahead!

Enter the Norse realm

His vengeance against the Gods of Olympus years behind him, Kratos now lives as a man in the realm of Norse Gods and monsters. It is in this harsh, unforgiving world that he must fight to survive… and teach his son to do the same.

Grasp a second chance

Kratos is a father again. As mentor and protector to Atreus, a son determined to earn his respect, he is forced to deal with and control the rage that has long defined him while out in a very dangerous world with his son.

Journey to a dark, elemental world of fearsome creatures

From the marble and columns of ornate Olympus to the gritty forests, mountains and caves of pre-Viking Norse lore, this is a distinctly new realm with its own pantheon of creatures, monsters and gods.

Engage in visceral, physical combat

With an over the shoulder camera that brings the player closer to the action than ever before, fights in God of War™ mirror the pantheon of Norse creatures Kratos will face: grand, gritty and grueling. A new main weapon and new abilities retain the defining spirit of the God of War series while presenting a vision of conflict that forges new ground in the genre.

Hello PCMR community!

On July 13th, we asked the community for your opinion if you would like to change the name of this community.

Results of the Survey :

  • Yes - 28.1%
  • No - 71.9% (winner)

Of the 1,201 responses received, we as a community have democratically decided that we should not change the name from PC Master Race. I am grateful to our community for your input, as this was a difficult topic to navigate together.

If you would like to review the history of this, please check out this post here: https://lemmy.world/post/1430610

We'll pin this post for some time and then consider adding a bullet into the sidebar for this Community to help stave off further discussions around this topic as the community has already decided collectively.

Kind regards,

The Moderator Team

Due to some of the recent targeted attacks against Lemmy.world, I noticed that the image I shared with this post was purged from their servers.

We, the moderators of PC Master Race, acknowledge there has been recent controversial posts shared in our Lemmy community that suggest the name of the community should be changed. The argument is that usage of “Master Race” can potentially be associated with the Nazi regime since “master race” is a specific reference to Aryan persons.

Due to message length limits in Lemmy, see the below replies which outlines the post-mortem discussion by the moderators of this community.

Topics:

  1. What happened?
  2. What is the current state?
  3. What are we doing to address this?
  4. What happens if the name of this community is changed?
  5. Next Steps
  6. Take the Survey

Notices:

  • Survey link here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeLqKx4y49BnmsyuEdwZUCSOTg3rWCjqqfloxhoE59CF7TH6g/viewform
  • This survey will close on August 20. We will create a new post summarizing the decision afterward.
  • You can take the survey anonymously and without signing into a Google account.
  • Due to the controversy around this topic, this Post will be locked.
  • The moderators will share the results of this initial survey to the community after 30 days to allow sufficient time to collect feedback from the community.
  • No new posts about the Name Change topic will be accepted. If you would like to discuss this further with the community, please use this older post: https://lemmy.world/post/1100953

Final Thoughts:

  • Regardless of where you stand on the name "PC Master Race", at the end of the day we are all people. We are all connected by a hobby that we love: gaming on PC, or just being PC enthusiasts.
  • We are a democratic community that encourages everyone to be respectful, have fun, and engage with each other.
  • Be kind to others, even when they have an opinion that you disagree with.

If you have specific questions, please send a Private Message to the moderators which you can find in the sidebar. Thank you for your understanding.

Kind regards,
