Never used twitter. It always seemed quite stupid, and made me think that If a post only took 144 characters (in old days) to be written down, it is definitely not something worth enough to share with the whole internet.

However, I wholly agree on the "patriotic" duty of convincing people to stop using twitter, and facebook, and instagram, and tik tok... But mostly twitter and facebook. We're past the age of soft power and into the age of algorithmic power, capable of impacting impressionable minds with pin-point precision. It's truly a matter of national security.

No account making from the game itself, it's a fully offline single-player game. However, if the copy you got is from Microsoft store, you might have to make a Microsoft account.

You missed the time to upgrade, last year there was a craze going around on gpu discounts, Kabum and Pichau had deals all the time. I bought a 6750 XT for 2400 reais, and a month later it was down to just 1950 reais, the 6600 was selling for little over 1100 reais. And even some Nvidia gpus were with good prices, I remember the 3060 12gb selling for less than 1400 reais.

I played PoE2 for a couple of days after release, but have recently picked up the new Indiana Jones after cancelling my game pass subscription (gotta finish before my timer runs out). I've been having a blast with the game though. Playing on hard combat + hard exploration has made the game very realistic to me. The puzzles are adequately challenging, taking at most a few minutes to solve even without hints, but they do feel good, all very logical.

He actually did. I can barely tell it's not Ford doing the voice acting.

I played a lot of TA as a kid, didn't know the devs had made a new RTS, but the art style from the game in the link sure looks very reminiscent of TA.

To me it feels like FromSoftware's take on Risk of Rain, and I'm here for it.

Someone could make something out of that...

I imagine you could buy a bunch of similar Jackets and distribute them to the homeless in an area prior to doing anything, and just crash with them for some time after.

Let me tell you why this isn't fraud:

  1. Teens makes a memecoin on a legit crypto platform (as legit as they can get)

  2. Teens buys X amount of his own memecoin for 350 bidens

  3. People that like to invest on memecoins (aka idiots/gamblers) bought into the coin

  4. Coin value goes up

  5. Teen sees that the X amount of coins he has is now worth 30k

  6. He sells it on a legit trading platform, cashes in on 30k

  7. Because he sold a huge amount at once, market is flooded, coin goes down in value

  8. The other gamblers that were looking into doing the exact same shit got mad at him

I'm not saying crypto isn't a scam, as memecoins are textbook pyramid schemes (buy in early for low, sell as soon as it's worth it cashing in on the idiots who bought late), but the way this works can't be defined as fraud because it's simply how the whole stock market works.

That reads as an excuse, "they are not really capitalists" type of argument. Yes, they are. They sell products, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta... They all sell products, they are all capitalists to the very core. It's just that, one of their products is us.
