That may be true for Germany if the climate up there suddenly resembled Louisiana's. No more snow to blight your crops. No more having to waste so much energy to keep warm during the winter (although the summer may provide a somewhat different challenge). Y'all will no longer have Spring...

As mentioned previously, I don't really care whether or not man-made climate change is true or not, and I don't seek to disprove your side, but some parts of your stance against it are kind of...well...off the charts. He wasn't talking about Al Gore or SEA ice, but GLACIAL ice on land. Your...

It handles high-quality 1080p quite well from what I've seen. Not many games, at least the ones not like the Uningine Superposition benchmark, make it dip far below 60fps.

Well...I did ask for Nintendo to bring some heat...but good lord... I'm with @Garrett. The moment they drop a release date, I'm ordering a Switch. EDIT: date for Metroid Prime, that is

@kuru Looking at the list of release titles, there's already a nontrivial amount of Xbox 360 games on there. I doubt you'd be able to pop in OG Xbox or X360 disks and have them work. They did the same thing as Sony in regards to re-releasing past titles on the XBONE. What would be nice is if...

I settled for the 1400+Gigabyte RX 560 to keep the price down, but definitely going big on the PSU to keep the upgrade path open. It will be very compelling if Raven Ridge APUs offer switchable graphics (like NVIDIA Optimus). I've never been an AMD fanboy, but they're the only dGPU company that...

I'm already planning to build a Mini-ITX Ryzen PC for ~$500 (if I wanted 4k, then ~$620, which is the X at launch+1yr Xbox LIVE+a brand new game for it), so when I saw the price for the XBOX ONE X, I laughed. Yet another MS console that will no doubt be more expensive over time than a decent...

May the Nine Divine help you if you think that'll make a real-world difference. Ever had so many mosquitoes and termites come out at night that pest control had to roll out? Those little shits have no purpose other than to survive as parasites, and I award the biggest middle fingers to whoever...

The touchpad on my Chromebook stopped working. so I basically had to become a wizard with the shortcuts, which I did...on a shitty keyboard. 2 problems to solve, the solution involving money. Velocifire TKL01 Mechanical Keyboard+Zelotes 12-button mouse (no pics; RIP phone camera). Went on the...

Even if what we know about climate change is wrong, even if the climate consensus is wrong about the earth warming up, it literally nothing changes in regards to the direction we're headed by doing what we're doing. Pollution remains a major problem. The geopolitics of oil are far too volatile...

Gentoo was of interest to me when I jumped into Linux (since I use a Chromebook, I guess it still is), but I never took the plunge. Spending hours trying not to fuck up my first Arch installation was already daunting, but having to sit through compilation as well? With the hardware I had at the...

Ubuntu is a perfectly fine OS with a perfectly fine vision, but my #1 complaint about them is the amount of fragmentation they've done just to say Ubuntu dun it (Unity, Mir, the installer, Upstart). I'm usually for not bashing free software, but Ubuntu's been ridiculous in some regards for a...

That "FPS Design" image is kinda funny. It's almost like it's trying to compare the map of an arena shooter to a linear campaign path, which could be in any game. "This is what Doom 2016's map design looks like superimposed over Street Fighter 5's story mode!!! The shame!!!" Also, I don't know...

You right. Debian's always been very "plug-n-play." Fantastic distro. With barely any extra work, it performs pretty close to Arch, even if Arch is more straightforward in that regard. To tell you the truth, I don't really see the point in swapping Debian out on the Pyra, as long as I can get...

The most important difference is drivers and latest stable kernel vs. LTS kernel, assuming Testing/Unstable aren't used. You can easily match Lubuntu's graphics performance with Arch's by opening the Padoka PPA and getting the latest Mesa version or NVIDIA/Radeon drivers or what-have-you. Of...

So, it's pretty much Alpine Linux for touch-based devices. I mean, if you still hate systemd that much these days and/or you want to get as lightweight as possible, then...the more the merrier, I guess? There's always a certain threshold of what constitutes a "lightweight OS" with every...

My friend got me hooked on Bloodbourne, so I'm jumping between that and Monster Hunter: Generations at the moment. I might hop back into Pokemon Showdown at some point.

This is a scumbag move, but nowhere near as bad as some finer examples. Truth be told, I enjoy glitchy Bethesda games, so there you go.

Smart(ish)-watch+wireless earphones is the optimal solution for me. Having a Pebble Time Round allows me to communicate with people while I'm doing something (I text way more than I talk, and Pebble's/Android Wear's voice-to-text isn't bad), and it generally makes using my phone as a phone...

That's what I wanna find out. Pyra as a phone would be so powerful.
