Man, I love Louis but your complaint about rambling is so valid. It only caters to the people who already agree with him and scares away people who would otherwise be convinced by the same points delivered in a better manner

Edit: since the other summaries aren’t really helpful imo, Louis is saying that Clippy is representative of a time when Microsoft software worked perfectly fine without an internet connection and served to simply help you get work done instead of use you as a revenue source

Yeah and even cable/satellite, paid services, are ad-riddled lol. Always kills me how the older generations criticize us for being financially irresponsible when they’re paying to watch a service that’s 20-25% ads

It was pretty big over here in the US, and still is with Gen X and older. Nowadays, pretty much the only reasons to get it are if you’re a sports fan or enjoy brainrot 24/7 news networks

I mean we have free over the air TV here in the states too, just don’t need a loicense for it

A TV Licence costs £174.50

Wtf is this in addition to paying for cable/satellite?

I’ve been a software engineer for almost 10 years now and lately, I’ve been giving a lot of thought to doing something else. I went into the field because coding and computing in general are genuine passions of mine but I find it difficult to be the code mill I’m expected to be, especially when getting work done quickly is prioritized over getting it done correctly. I also feel like most of the coworkers I’ve had over the years don’t have any genuine interest or intrinsic motivation, and are just in it because it pays well - which I don’t fault them for, especially in the current economy, but they’re much more likely to put up with being treated like shit.

I just don’t know what else I would do. Teaching high school CS seems fun but I’m pretty sure making that transition would take a couple years, since I gotta get a teaching degree and be a student teacher and all that, and I’m not sure I have the patience for that

That’s because a lot of people in this community are techies, most people don’t have the skills to setup a seed box so it’s much easier to just go to a streaming site in their phone browser

Can I have one

Also sometimes they juice up their numbers to appear more popular

You got a loicense for that desiring knowledge, bruv?

Wouldn’t mind going if the snacks weren’t so crazy expensive. They wouldn’t need to be so expensive if studios didn’t take basically all of the ticket revenue. The studios wouldn’t need to take basically all of the ticket revenue if their execs didn’t need multiple yachts.

The people were what made it great. It was the best place to go to get opinions or advice from people. Once the platform started controlling what people could say, and how they could do it (APIs), that’s when shit went south. And now it’s not even really people anymore.

Yes, the term is often misapplied, but Balatro has the other key part of actually being a roguelike which is leveling up your build periodically from a randomly selected set of options. The bosses are also randomly selected. It very much is a roguelike

Recipe?

I doubt the physical copy itself got affected, I’m pretty certain the carts are read-only.

I thought bans only affect online multiplayer? You might still be able to verify game files if you’re connected to WiFi. If not, you can try deleting the update data and then downloading the update from a shop. I’m not sure if downloading only an update is possible, though, so you might need to download the full game too

Pretty sure the guy with the cane thwacked him

Zero issues on the mighty gecko distro. Not sure why’d you use anything else ^/s

Please tell me this is a diaper

Battlebit is fantastic. The only reason it hasn’t taken off is because of gamerbros that can’t handle anything besides realistic graphics

Huge Zelda fan here, I’ve beaten every mainline game at least once. Wind Waker is by far my least favorite, so I don’t blame you
