Interesting. So where I think I don't like video games writ large, I may only resonate with particular genres or particular mechanics, etc(?).

That makes sense.

I further believe I see more sameness exist than actually exists because I simply am not as familiar with the subject matter.

Pretty much. AWS offers (and runs on) Linux AFAIK.

Wtf -- if you put more money in a glitchy vending machine, you're gonna get yet more items.😑

In fairness, x11 is a bit of a dumpster fire and has been as long as I've used Linux (since 2003).

Ohhhhhhhh -- thank you.

I don't follow. What am I missing?

IRC

Agreed. I think of that scene from the end of The Truman Show: the viewers are transfixed, Truman is trying to break free from the set. Then, the show goes off the air, and a viewer at home says, "Alright. What else is on?"

That's how I feel about the outrage-bait now. Like so many businesses built their castles on beach sand that they're inevitably getting washed away. How did they not see that coming?

If you really want to secure your computer, encase that puppy in concrete (after disconnecting it from power),

Yeah, it's a handy device. Shame on the toll booth operators cough I mean genius innovators 🙄 -- I mean social networking!?!? How innovative and non-obvious! Sorry, my digression had a digression.

Tldr don't hate the game, hate the player.

What a bizarre and terrible idea. I def think Twitter circa 2009 was the pinnacle.

I'll hand it to Elon Musk, tho -- the dude knows how to destroy value. I wonder if he literally sets it on fire.

None of those foxes (fauxes!) have legs!
