Excuse me, but the preferred term is robosexual.

Sounds like the plot from a Cronenberg movie.

Lol, that’s clearly Portugal. They have burrokracia over there, and they are honorary Balkan.

A/S/L?

I don’t feel like it’s new users not knowing etiquette that’s the problem. I think it’s corporate greed and enshittification.

The internet has been dumbed down to a handful of high-traffic sites, and those are trying to make a buck of us. You ran a server/website for your own benefit, not to make a dollar. It’s corpo greed, I tell ya…

Subnautica

I already played it through once, but with a Phenom quadcore (and a gtx 970, but heavily bottlenecked). The difference is refreshing: from around 720p 20ish fps I went to 1080p 60.

A great crafting game, but I won’t waste words on a 10 year old fan-favorite, unless prompted (and then I can gush!).

Keep at it! I lucked out on my first run as well, then I had to figure out which cards and relics have some synergy.

I have about 550 hours in the game, and beat the boss at lvl 20 with both the ironclad and the defect. The latter was gruelling. I started an ascension with the silent as well, but unfortunately StS2 came out in early access, and that bad boy has multiplayer!

Original Slay the Spire is off 75% (for around €6). Great game.

They’re not maxing any sense.

to envelop… that mountain.

So, why has he left some skin exposed?

Pretty sure it’s so that he doesn’t overheat. And good luck on the ‘þ’ crusade.

…science and drugs

Slow down there, cowboy.

VAT was so high because everyone and their mother would be cheating their income taxes. He bumped it 2%, I believe, for whatever the heck reason (insatiability?), so we’re pretty much world leaders in that regard.

Where are you from? In Hungary people are just realizing they have a semblance of power with their vote. We were conditioned during the communist era to keep our heads ducked and make due for ourselves. This is changing, we’ll see on the 12th how quickly.

I hope I was able to answer some of your questions.

Great, now I have Weezer playing my head :/

It really is a slow burn, especially compared to modern movie pacing.

I watched it when it came out and found it gorgeous. Maybe a bit heavy on the message, but the world-building doesn’t try to punch above its weight. It really felt like a not-so-far future.

Took me around 500 hours to beat level 20 in StS1. Such a great character.

Great article, thanks for sharing!

I was just discussing something along these lines with a friend. Back when dial-up was was king, I went to an info expo where they were displaying broadband. I typed in my email host’s website, and when I pressed enter, the page just clicked in. No vertical loading whatsoever. It was the future!

Funny to see twenty-odd years later we are stuck in the same throttling ecperience us dial-up users had to experience organically. I really hope a new web is in the brewing. Corpo greed is so fucking cruel.

I wasn’t patient this time around, so it’s Slay the Spire 2, early access.

It runs really well on my two core third gen ryzen laptop, and I will gladly recommend it to anyone who likes deckbuilders.

Sorry, not really. I could only point you towards my wayward comment mentioning Weber and Dürkheim.

Sociology really wouldn’t be a bad place to start, you can see how the words are derived from the same base. I don’t know any modern thinkers, I flunked out pretty early from that uni.

If you try the inward out method (by observing social transactions, peer pressures), you would still be well off to pick up some literature, so you can get some framing for it.
