I learned some years ago that Rand wrote erotica before she wrote ""philosophy""

Then I read some of her porn. And everything clicked.

She let her self-indulgent porn fantasies leak into her philosophy, that's all.

I am fully aware

I fear every person from any of those cultures. Those who sleep on hard surfaces are not to be trifled with, for they are stronger than all of us.

Pots, pans, and knowledge of cooking.

Oh, and enough garlic to fucking nuke Transylvania.

I do believe there is a niche of people into that. Though my view might be skewed by The Algorithm :tm: knowing I like vintage fashion.

My youtube shorts recs are full of chicks trying on their grandmother's old and well-kept clothes from the 50s~70s.

Made a different comment. Deleted it. Had a better idea:

Those loose, light clothes that people in middle-eastern cultures still wear as traditional clothing. There is a reason they came up with those when they did. Elsewhere in this thread another peep was complaining that men don't get to show enough skin and specifically citing heat as the reason this annoyed them. I say fool. Showing skin will not save you from the heat, especially as climate change continues to cook the planet. It will, in fact, make it worse.

If we are to survive being cooked alive by the sun, we will need to cover up, as the people who inhabited arid-and-extremely-hot places for centuries have done.

Actually, since the Dune series got an injection of popularity with non sci-fi nerds thanks to the Denis Villeneuve films --

-- We could call it "Fremencore". Integrate some futuristic aesthetic influences so people don't think it's cultural appropriation.

See memory foam is cool and all

But my point is that even the simplest pillow consisting of a linen sack with some animal nonsense inside it is still an exponential improvement over not that, or worse, those wooden head-supports that they still use in some eastern cultures.

Also: People use way too few pillows. I use five for the average night.

I'm biased, I just sorta... Like all animals. All of them. So this reply is just my mood for today:

Mammal: Raccoon. The grabby hands, the masks, they're just cool little guys

Bird: Crows. Clever and playful caw caw boys. Capable of incredible feats of animal intelligence.

Reptile: Tegu. The cats of the lizard world.

Amphibian: Poison dart frogs. Danger bois. Don't touch. But they look so cool.

Fish: fish are not valid

Crustacean: Coconut crabs! They are big and cool.

Insect: Ants. Eusocial insects are really cool.

Mollusk: those really big snails that look like slime bunnies

Worm: Leeches. They're cool to look at.

Arachnid: Jumping spider. They are smols.

You got any idea how easy it is for those with power to convince a few thousand suckers to defend their evil interests, WHILE genuinely believing they're doing the right thing? That's like 90% of content on social media.

Consider the humble pillow.

 

Like, the nutrition facts table says it contains nothing other than some sodium. No sugars or fats or calories at all

Yet it clearly is edible, so what is it? Some concoction made mostly from indigestible minerals?

 
 
 

The gender I want to be is "Majestic Unicorn of unclear gender/sex, but decidedly statuesque in bearing"

You can see how it would be difficult for me to transition in any meaningful way

 
 
 

Title. Game otherwise works great. Windows-using friends say it works for them. Networking is also normal on computer.

I initially thought it could be anticheat related so I disabled mangohud and made sure Easy AntiCheat was launching etc.

But no cigar, the game loads and errors out like in the pic. :

It seems to do so immediately, too, like it's not even trying to connect?

Tried it on my Deck too, same error.

Do not have a Windows PC to try it on, but it's really confusing me, because it ran perfectly until today. :P

 

My younger friends all talk about this Jerma person like he's some kind of mythical entity. An eldritch being that cannot be explained for any attempt at explanation inevitably fails.

I am confused. From what I could gather he's like... A streamer? Content creator?

 

Way back in the day, every game had its logic tied to its framerate -- As anyone who's ever tried to run an eighties PC game on a nineties PC only to see it run at 20x speed and completely unplayable can tell you.

But in the modern day this is less common. Generally the game keeps chugging along at the same pace, no matter how fast or slow the frames are being presented (unless, of course, everything is bogged down so hard that even the game logic is struggling)

And yet, you'll still find a few. Any fan of Dark Souls who played on PC back when Prepare to Die edition first came to PC will remember how unlocking the framerate could cause collision bugs and send you into the void. And I recently watched a video of a gent who massively overclocked a Nintendo Switch OLED and got Tears of the Kingdom to run at 60FPS... Except everything was, indeed, running in fast-forward, rather than just being smoother.

This makes me wonder -- Is there some unseen advantage to keeping game logic and framerate tied together? Perhaps something that only really shows on weaker hardware? Or is it just devs going "well the hardware we're targeting won't really go over this speed, and we don't really give a fuck about anything else" and not bothering to implement it?
