The cop obviously should have stopped to render aid (assuming they weren’t already on their way to an active shooting or something) and it’s fucked that (allegedly) no other cops would take a report... but this kinda smells bad all around.

Wow. Like... wow.

The tyranny of population demographics are always going to be a challenge...even if we someday had perfect (crazy?) representation in every stratus of our lives, there would still be about 6-7 white folks in every room for every 10 people (in the US).

Experience varies pretty broadly across people so I don’t expect this to be the same for everyone... but I’d bet most (probably more than 90% of people) would certainly notice the difference between 30 and 60 FPS (stable). In particular... if you set someone to playing almost any modern game at 60 FPS for a while (on…

Yes, but then how will we avoid anyone (ever) feeling bad things?!

A GPU should not die under virtually any short-term workload... even a poorly optimized one with massive memory leaks. What is more likely is that we’re looking at a batch of bad GPUs that were going to fail at some point, but hadn’t yet run into a tough-enough workload to do the job. There are some games that peg…

As outlined in the article... a steam login is only required for the pre-installed “steamdeck” OS. The system is PC-based so you will be able to install just about any OS and x86 software you want on it. This is not really like the whole Oculus/Facebook situation.

It’s worth pointing out that it’s completely possible to gaslight someone without lying (intentionally or otherwise)... which clearly implies that it can’t be the same thing as lying. The goal is to undermine the targets confidence in their own perceptions or understandings... which, ostensibly, would best be done…

If the card can’t be safely moved to a new sleeve then I would expect any collector to erase the signature, purely as a product of how the value works with this item. The number of (lesser?) versions of this card that he has seems irrelevant to me.

Is there no danger in transferring it to a new sleeve?

... unless they were lucky. ;P

This.

The optics of this are certainly alarming... but part of normalizing something, like the LGBTQ experience, is treating LGBTQ people like everyone else. This game is about beating people up, over and over and over. That is the whole point... defeating that powerful enemy (that, ostensibly, you respect). It certainly fee…

My only tepid concern (being a complete outsider with a limited understanding of the situation) is for content creators being boxed in to a situation where they are pressured in to doing things they are uncomfortable with simply to be competitive.

This seems extraordinarily over-simplified.

(Go ahead and ask a Walmart manager why the Black hair products are locked up while the equally expensive white ones are sitting untended on the shelves.)

It’s probably *the* explanation for why they are spending so wildly (while they can) on their store.

“wreckless”

There seems to be a weird tension in this post between accusations that men don’t do enough to protect women... while also criticizing men for infantilizing women... while also being affronted at the idea that anyone (particularly a white person that identifies as a male) might treat her as a peer by questioning her…
