Frustrating to see MS add VR support to their own titles while simultaneously killing WMR and all associated devices. Sure, VR in MFS24 sounds great, but it’s a bit of a slap in the face for the people whose WMR devices will turn into e-waste later this year.

This sounds amazing. I wonder what it’s like to play and how “done” the mod is. If this plays anything like a ground-up VR effort would I am going to be all over this.

This is one of the few sequels I’m genuinely excited for. Constantine was such a good movie.

Thanks for sharing these gems. I can almost feel the exasperation in some of the emails and their replies.

What can they do? How about making the cellular models modular? 3G goes bust? Swap the modem for a 4G one next time the car is in for service.

What about World coming down or Life is killing me? I find the album’s that document the band and Peter’s struggles easier to connect with at an emotional level than the previous - admittedly great - albums where it sometimes felt like the band was intentionally parodying the goth scene.

I can’t really or an order to them as they’re all favorites of mine, but there’s a top 10:

Iron Maiden - Somewhere in time

Life of Agony - River runs red

At the gates - Slaughter of the soul

In Flames - Colony

Sentenced - Down

Black Sabbath - Master of reality

Iced Earth - Alive in Athens (I know this is cheating as it’s basically a best of album, but so what)

Kyuss - Welcome to sky valley

Queensryche - Operation mindcrime

Death - The sound of perseverance

Honestly though, I could put together a top “whatever” and still have too little space to place all the entries.

The rest of the world agrees. Funny how even the broken clock that is the current Republican party is right every now and then.

That’s the worst part imho. We should hold Ford accountable and demand that money back if they unilaterally decide to axe the plan we collectively funded.

Remember how we used to think people should retire in old age, instead of running a country? Pepperidge farm remembers.

It’s a good thing the Republican leadership is as incompetent as they are morally bankrupt, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t managed to stumble their way into pushing the US to the brink of a dictatorship. As the KGB used to say, a lot of them are “useful idiots” which can be orchestrated by careful external manipulation.

I’m not onboard with that conspiracy, as there were certainly attempts on his life throughout his reign. But I do agree with the relevancy of that Sun Tzu quote.

By 1943 Hitler was making such poor decisions it would’ve actually benefited the Nazi war effort if he had been removed from power.

That last part is the terrifying bit, honestly. Trump is an egomaniac with the attention span of a toddler. He’s an unguided projectile of spite and vanity.

Imagine someone competent filling his shoes with the unprecedented powers that were recently granted by the supreme court and the rabid MAGA fanbase behind them.

The potential for lasting damage goes (even further) off the scale. I shudder to think what that might actually look like.

Honestly, in the event Biden loses, the best hope the US has is Trump’s general incompetence.

That’s exciting - I’ll be keeping a close eye on this as it’s likely what will make me switch to Linux for gaming in the near future.

True, but Göteborg has its own areas to avoid. Hjällbo comes to mind…

Thanks! Sounds like decent progress hady been made in this area already. I’ll keep an eye on this project so that when 24H2 drops I’ve got a way to avoid turning my headset into e-waste.

That sounds pretty promising. I know the headset camera-based controller tracking will be a pain to implement, but at least there’s some hope for people that plonked down 600+ bucks for these devices. Some, like me, just a month ahead of the eol announcement…

I will now proceed to crumble to dust like the Nazi at the end of the last crusade.

“Fighting solves everything” - These guys are really out there thinking they can punch the genie of social progress back into the bottle. If this were a parody people would say it’s too ridiculous to be true.

As someone familiar with Microsoft’s meeting culture, this is pretty accurate. If you want to attend every meeting in the day, you will be in three meetings at once. At a minimum.
