I would have stuck with 470, but modern games need the 500 drivers. I couldn’t get Metaphor ReFantazio working on 470, and I couldn’t get the latest Baldur’s Gate 3 patch working without updating either.

470 is from 3 years ago at this point. There were going to be more problems moving forward if I didn’t update.

Usually, yes.

I can attest that not/postponing having kids drastically reduces the number of responsibilities. Many of my friends had kids younger and are in drastically different scenarios than I am.

For me personally, any game in the Super Smash Bros series.

They’ve always been a go-to when hanging out with friends, in their time.

Melee still has a following. Nobody likes brawl because of tripping (among other things i’m sure), but I learned how to mod brawl and added so many custom stages and character skins. Sm4sh was ok, and Ultimate is so complete.

Yeah it’s Nintendo and “it’s always moral to pirate Nintendo games” and there’s plenty to complain about their online services but I’ve played smash so much that every time a new game comes out immediately a must-buy.

Great game! (Also happy cake day)

What are your favorite games to play?

I used to love president as a kid, now I play it a lot in clubhouse games on the switch. I know a few friends who play spades.

The heroic launcher is the way to go here. It installs the games in desktop mode and automatically adds them to steam. Compatibility is, for me, the same as if I had installed through steam.

Edit: assumed I was on a steam deck post. On desktop I also use heroic, again, compatibility is great. There’s a checkbox to add to steam automatically if you want.

How do you “use cool words” while reading? You’re reading words someone else wrote? Are you reading a script you wrote out loud to others or something? Are people accusing you of being an AI to your human face?

…was this meme made by an AI??

Man, he’s great

Dang. Friend, I think you need a new neighborhood.

RAWR GRANOLA

BARS?

Brah. braaaahhh

Idk what else to say. Just, braaahhhh

Have a popup text line in explorer that says “you are browsing inside of a compressed file, you must extract the contents to use them” or something. The functionality is already there, when you go to “network” it says “network sharing and discovery is turned off, click here to turn it on”

Perhaps this occurred in the small window of time when it had been implemented and it didn’t ask, or perhaps they just said no.

Regardless, I had to troubleshoot

This reminds me of when I sent someone a program in a zip folder. Windows now opens zip folders by default, and it looks just like any other folder.

So of course they opened the zip and double clicked the exe, but everyone knows you can’t open an exe inside a zip folder (at least, if the exe depends on the folders and files around it). If you try to, windows will extract the exe into a temp space, but leave all the dependencies behind. So the exe promptly crashes.

I didn’t think I needed to specify “you need to extract the contents of the zip folder first, then run the exe.” It feels like saying “you need to take the blender out of the box before you can use it. And not just the _base _ of the blender, you have to take out all the parts.”

Some things just feel so much like second nature that we forget.

Thank you for explaining.

Yeah but like in a “how could you do that” kind of way, not an “actually considering it” kind of way.

41?

That’s really cool, I would totally be down for reading an article or watching a video essay that goes into the differences between clubs with and without phones.

I did a little research and apparently there are sexy clubs where you can hang out in rooms and do consensually sexy things and everyone is cool with it. I don’t go clubbing, but I would assume it’s a little different here in the states.

I can help with the menu part. Look up “alacart” in the pop store. When installed it’s called “main menu.” Use that to add/remove/edit the items in your launcher menu thing.
