I think you missed the point of the blog. It's not "A guy makes a game" it's "a group of friends make stuff up and a game is carved out of it"

Which yeah I can understand not everyone likes that. You need some imagination, the willingness to try new things and generally be down for some chaos. For the rest of us it sounds like a fun way to just fool around with friends.

Got through 2 minutes of someone rambling. Eventually the suggestion was to encrypt your files before sending them to a cloud provider which...

I mean sure? 12 whole minutes of that. If you use Linux. Use GPG to encrypt your files and store the key somewhere safe.

If you use windows. Swap to Linux. Until then 7Zip has great encryption features.

Not to be a dick but this would have been better as a blog. A video needs some kind of backbone to be interesting. Do some research. Granted I watched 2 minutes before giving up so maybe it gets better?

What cloud providers have turned data over to authorities? Show how to set up a self hosted cloud? I dunno.

Came here to save everyone a click but you beat me to it

I'll add on to say the video is stuffed to the brim with ads, affiliate links and is generally exactly the kind of content I despise.

Literally a list of "here's an assortment of objects I found by searching "Steam Deck" in printables and shitting out a video to hopefully trick some kid in to clicking a link".

Absolute garbage

Not reading a novel. No. What you said was clear. It just wasn't important.

Why are you, individually, trying to intimidate the police?

An armed community does that.

Your argument is pedantic. It's like saying that you shouldn't run to be healthier because if you trip and fall you'll get hurt which could make you bedridden leading to poor health.

I get what you're saying, what you're saying isn't adding value

If you're worried about a group of people coming up to murder you. I'm probably less worried about the police response to the fact that I own a weapon.

"Lie down and just get killed, because if you don't you might get killed"

Once you back people into the corner. You won't be going to jail.

Hell yeah! Fresh new stick drift. Stoked!

For real. The Steam Deck and hall effect joysticks make the switch kind of pointless

Screw everyone else. That desk is sick.

It looks like it folds up to a little cabinet which I adore

Why?

The Bethesda that made good games is dead and gone. It's just several shareholders and Tom in a trench coat wearing its skin like a poncho hoping you won't notice the smell.

People are going to buy it. It's going to have "Mixed" reviews and support will be dropped by 2026. It's going to be a broken, buggy mess on release, break modding and be an overall weak experience.

Why buy it? It's gonna suck.

Possibly unpopular opinion: You shouldn't be allowed to refund Bethesda games. You should just be told that any reasonable person would know better than to buy a post Fallout 4 Bethesda game within a year of launch and you should not be covered under any refund policy.

Ah. So I have to hope I'm getting the good product and not the bad product while paying the same inflated price!

Fun. I love RNG in my clothes

[–] BigSadDad 2 points 2 months ago

Ah. I only ever bought from their website. I didn't know they sold them in stores.

I used to like Carhartt. But it's yet another rug pull

They made good stuff for a while. Then got bought out and now make dog shit.

Bought two Carhartt jeans. Both had the same rip in the crotch after a year of use. Just work pants. Sitting in an office.

You want good jeans? Roundhouse jeans. Made somewhere in America. I love em. Expensive but I'd rather pay 70 now then 59 every year.

Shirts? Eh. I have a few Carhartt and those are fine so far. But there's a reason why old Carhartt clothes still go for a good chunk of change.

I've been trying to buy more made in America stuff. Local jobs and all that. Carhartt used to advertise that everything was made in the USA but stopped when they moved their manufacturing to China. They didn't advertise that they're now made cheap and probably just a white label on something but hey. It's your money.

Buy local when you can. And fuck Duluth. I figured I'd get that in there while I could.
