The sad thing about Oblivion is that there are in-game books in Morrowind and previous games that describe the empire as being in the middle of a bamboo jungle. The vibe comes off as the Roman Empire in South East Asia.
Instead we got generic high fantasy with the occasional guy wearing Roman armor.
Only as far as storyline and setting go. Other than that, it was an okay shooter.
Cutting costs and laying people off makes the books look slightly better (more cash on hand) which makes the stock price jump, which is all these ghouls want because they’re going to sell off on the high, and then bail out.
That’s not how it works. Making money today is the only thing these ghouls care about, ruining a company or brand is just dandy because they won’t be holding the bag when it bursts. They’ll have passed it to someone else. Someone else who will then work to gut the company even more before selling it to someone who will gut it and close it down.
And nothing of real value will have been made, but lots of rich asshats will be slightly richer.
I actually say the cheapest option is buying a good quality Safety Razor, and then packs of blades for pennies each.
It’s how I’ve shaved for years, and I’m never going back to the multi blade bullshit disposables.
Adli’s beer is usually locally sourced. I lived in Columbus OH for a time, and the selection was actually pretty good (depending on season).
I’ve also seen Aldi stock horrible beer, both in Columbus and elsewhere.
I see most of the people in the comments here have older model heat pumps.
Newer model heat pumps are quite a bit better than even ones made 10 years ago.
My dad had one put in two years ago for his garage kitchen, and it’s worked quite well, even in fairly cold temperatures. Most importantly, that heat pump doesn’t have an auxiliary mode, and yet it still works in sub freezing temperatures.
It would work even better if it were ground source, but those are both expensive and require digging up the yard.
That wouldn’t work on my system.
Typing apt just opens the man page for pacman.
I remember playing it a bit back in 2001.
And yes, it’s still around.
There are even two versions that Jagex maintains, the main branch, and Old School Runescape, which is based around how the game was back in 2007-2009. (but with new stuff still added all the time)
Here’s someone using the term in 2011.

And I’m sure there are plenty of older examples.
But some others are here from 2015

All that from a simple google search.
I recently switched my laptop to Garuda, it’s an Arch based gaming distro. It seems to mostly work right out of the box, but I did have to tweak a few steam games to force them to use my dedicated graphics.
I guess I could go in and force steam itself to use the graphics card via env… But I only have a handful of large games at the moment. It’s just as easy to set the requirement per game right now.
It is, and there are still some games that are borked, but most are quite good.
This site is great for finding out what games work. https://www.protondb.com/
It depends on the game, but Steam proton is pretty good.
This site is incredibly helpful.
Rust currently has a 30-day average player count of just under 75k.
My current favorite (Rimworld) has one of 16k.
That’s still a lot of unhappy gamers.
That’s why this is a gray area.
He’s not bought any stock this year. He’s just been selling off his compensation stock.
He might just be an idiot who thought no one would complain or jump ship from using Unity.
It was a pre-scheduled sale.
They’re announced months in advance and can either trigger on a set date, or at a set stock price. It’s more complex than that, and can involve taxes and shit, but the sale itself was above board(ish).
They likely delayed the announcement of the fees to ensure a higher stock price for the sale, which starts getting into a gray area.
It was a scheduled sale. There’s a term for it, but it’s a fairly normal thing to have set up.
What it really sounds like is they looked to see that they had a scheduled sale, and then delayed the announcement of the new fees (and the planning of how they’d work) so that the sale price would be higher.
Or, another alternative here. They looked at the sale price, and thought “gee whiz this is low, how do I boost the stock price higher?” and since this idiot worked on microtransactions for EA, he thought that adding those to Unity made some sort of sense.
There was a study linked around somewhere in the last few days that said that political ideology was a greater factor in people’s religious choices than the inverse.
Yeah, that’s not happening. I only whitelist sites I trust, and that little pop-up doesn’t engender trust.
Guardians 3 was good.
Mostly because they weren’t trying to shoehorn future movie plot setups into it.
On that note, the Holiday Special was also pretty good.
Shang-Chi wasn’t a bad movie… Not one I’m likely to rewatch much, but a good popcorn movie…
Other than that, no Marvel has started falling into producer interference mode, where every movie must explicitly set up the next, even if they don’t have a full plan for what’s next.
They’ve lost sight of the key to their success; telling a tight, self-contained story made by people who love the characters.
