Payday 2 was good for a while, but then it got buried under a mountain of DLC and people slowly stopped playing because of the aggressive monetization. They came out swinging with the same tactics in Payday 3 with only minor content improvements, so people weren't as motivated to buy the same game again.

Cities: Skylines 2 appears to be going the same route.

Too many AI language models are just word salad. It will spit out very long responses that add nothing of substance. Sometimes it's kind of like a high schooler desperately trying to reach the paragraph requirement on an essay.

I just leave it on maximum. Too many spoofed local numbers. If it's someone important a d they're not in my contacts, they'll either make it through the screener or leave a message.

It's still a much better experience when pirated, since there's no DRM. Also, it'll make you feel glad you didn't pay for it when you learn they wasted the entire budget for C&C4 on a movie set and an "unbreakable" DRM that someone cracked within a few hours after the launch. They also killed the series with a very cheesy "and everyone lived happily ever after" with that one, and I never forgave them for it.

Saw the show. Calliou is a whiney little bitch, and he's a bad influence on children. The parents tolerate his behavior and let him get away with it, which teaches children to do the same.

There. I said it.

Considering that writer is pumping out multiple articles a day, they most likely are to some extent.

It's times like this, I can hear Dewey from Malcolm in the Middle:
"I expected nothing, and I'm STILL disappointed."

Totally fine. The inside window isn't the important one. It's just a plastic cover for the real window on the outside.

Required procedure in the airframe standard practices.

Just unplug them? Most appliances still draw some electricity (i.e. phantom load) when turned off.

Rock music starts blasting as your mech turns to face the bulkhead. The dropship's engines roar louder as it approaches the ground, and the wall in front of you flies upwards. Your mech's feet slam into the ground with a heavy thud.

Yes, but I like gaming without having to tweak things for every game. Proton is looking pretty good thanks to the Steam Deck. Hopefully it'll be a very solid option when it comes time for me to make a decision.

Unfortunately, a lot of my music software and hardware is incompatible with both Linux and W11
