Did not know this was a thing, thanks for the heads up!

Technically correct, but that’s not how it’s actually used. Gigabit is not used in any meaningful context outside of as a measure of data transfer rates.

Because gigabytes (GB) are units of storage capacity, and gigabits (Gb) are units of data transfer rate.

It’s implied it’s gigabits per second, as no one ever really measures it in like… Gigabits per hour, or year.

We pay 4.58€ for 1gbit/1gbit fiber in our condo association in Sweden…

If he did it, I can see how some people can defend him (myself not included), but the point is that we don’t know if he did it, and the media has sort of framed this like it’s a done deal when that doesn’t really seem to be the case.

That alone is worth little injustice to avoid the potential cringe.

You could’ve avoided the cringe that is your comment by withholding it.

sperging out

Alright then…

Dark Souls 2 was made by a different team than the other souls games, so it’s kind of like somebody else’s take on the formula, in a way.

It introduced a bunch of stuff that wasn’t (and in some cases still aren’t) in the others.

I played it when it first came out and loved it. Played the DLCs, loved them, and then again when the Scholar of the First Sin edition came out.

The latter is definitely what you should play if you liked the others.

It’s really not the same thing as the original release, oddly. It also includes the three absolutely phenomenal DLCs as well.

Definitely looking for the same.

I’ve seen some metal communities (mostly death- and black metal), but generally it’s mostly just people posting links to songs, so not much discussion going on.

I agree with the sentiment as to the futility of the doomer/nihilist mindset, being a reformed (or rather, being in the process of reforming) doomer nihilist myself, I know the call of the void all to well. However…

It’s not just the USA declining - it’s really everywhere. Call it whatever you want, late-stage capitalism, the rise of the techbroligarchy and fascism-adjacent currents, etc…

But there’s stuff going on. It’s harder to get a job, harder to get an education, harder to earn a living wage, harder to get ahead in general. And it’s everywhere.

Mostly money. It’s like 38€/$39/£30. On a extremely tight budget, and since covid, concert tickets have skyrocketed and never went down, hmm…

But I think you might’ve convinced me!

Thinking of seeing them (with Oranssi Pazuzu!) in Stockholm in May, although it’d mostly be for Oranssi Pazuzu, so I checked out some songs, and it’s definitely the kind of stoner doom I like.

Good live band, apparently.

Yeah, I’m aware of the game speed etc being tied to FPS, but From Software made DS3 run at 60 FPS on Xbox and PS5 over 3 years ago.

Iirc, it’s using the same engine as Bloodborne, so conceivably, they could get it working in Bloodborne as well.

The more logical thing to do, of course, would be to rehash it for a 10 year anniversary release with 4K/60, but that has come and gone, so…

I don’t even own a PS5, and never will, but the game is so god damn good that it’s (another) crime for Sony to leave it like this.

It plays a lot (relatively speaking) better on a PS4 Pro. It’s puzzling how stupid of a decision it is leaving it at 30 FPS even on PS5.

Here’s a picture of Nito in his favorite jammies (we still have them).

I don’t think they did it deliberately (the in-laws). I think they needed someone external to be with them when they made the decision, so they could be sure it was the right one (which it was, as any competent vet would say).

In any case, I don’t really judge them for it, and even though it was very emotionally draining, I understand the impulse.

But you’re right, grief is a motherfucker, and everyone has to do it in their own way and in their own time, ain’t no way you’re escaping that looming shadow, unless you’re a psycho, of course…

I hope you feel better. Hopefully better days lie ahead.

3 weeks ago (February 18th), me and my girl’s Sphynx cat died unexpectedly and dramatically (literally took his last breath in my arms).

He was only 10 years old with no prior obvious health issues.

He was like a son to us and the most sweet and gentle being that ever was, and we’re still all fucked up.

Yesterday, my in-laws call my girl (we live in the same apartment building) and kind of ambush us into pushing them into making the decision to put down their almost 16 year old Shar pei, who again, was just the sweetest boy.

I’ve been sobbing uncontrollably in between doing routine shit for the last three weeks, and today I just woke up feeling done with this fucking life.

I know it’s not the same, but nevertheless, just wanted you to know you’re not alone shoveling shit. And I’m sorry you have to go through this.

Can you share and collaborate on notes/shopping lists across accounts like Google’s Keep Notes?

This is the only thing keeping me (and presumably at least thousands of other people) from switching to another notes app.

I’d be happy to pay for it, even.

Mr. Jack, for sure.

“Put your hands up, get out of the car!” “FUCK YOU PIG!”

Do it, if you like sludgey riffing.

Dark Castle - Surrender to All Life Beyond Form

Female-fronted stoner/sludge doom.

Saw them open for the almighty YOB back in 2011. Stevie Floyd is a badass.

We lost our sphynx very dramatically two weeks ago, and he was only 10 years old with no prior health issues, so I know how it feels.

You’re not alone.

Me and my partner are still devastated and find ourselves sobbing uncontrollably every day.

It was like losing a child.

Life is on auto pilot these days.

I hope I’ll see a good day again.
