Maybe I oversold it but I definitely noticed a difference in both performance and battery life. Windows has no profile for handheld devices and assumes they’re a laptop. With SteamOS it seems to have better battery management, with the added bonus of not being spyware vibe-coded garbage. My wife encountered a handful of “yep that’s Windows for you” type issues and now those are reduced to zero.

I’m personally skipping this one because we already have a white deranged lunatic in office and I don’t need more of that vibe.

I recently dumped W11 off my wife’s ROG Ally handheld and replaced it with SteamOS. It’s a day and night difference in performance. ASUS is absolutely fucking themselves by shipping it with this vibe-coded trash OS. W11 is total dog shit. The only good thing it does is drive a lot of people into the arms of Linux.

Texas is really striving to make itself as unappealing as humanly possible. The cameras will magically have a feature that ignores any crime by Ken Paxton.

If you want real Quake, just get Quake 3. Tons of people still play it. Or snag Xonotic.

Their sense of humor falls flat when they no longer have someone to punch down on. It’s just dripping with insecurity.

This part is actually sickening. They’re glorifying violence openly now so that they can whip up conservative men even harder. Anyone that likes this film is devoid of any kind of moral compass.

If these guys show up near you, go see them! Great show and the row pits are wild.

They’re showing that they don’t even respect their own! As soon as someone even remotely deviates from the message, the pack ousts them. It’s crazy watching all of this play out like a fascism 101 class.

This is just unhinged. It’s going to do so incredibly poor in theaters.

Then the film’s Renée Good stand-in enters, slamming her Subaru into the ICE van. Described with the subtlety of a brick as “MELANIE (40), a fat blue-hair,” the woman, blasting NPR, revs up again and fatally hits ICE agent “Juan” with her car. Then his ICE partner, “Mike,” shoots her in a justifiable killing.

They have like 5 jokes. LOL.

The bomdia dot combia!

Star Wars is too busy chasing ideas that easily lead into merchandising.

Be thankful that you don’t have to shovel shit lmao.

Although this is cheaper than having to call a plumber.

It kinda makes it funnier to me for some reason.

Oh yeah, thanks!

Good thing I deleted all of my social media accounts and am anonymous pseudonymous on anything else. I’ve been slowly dropping YouTube a lot lately too because it’s trying too hard to rage bait.

Edit: thanks, SharkBait! 🦈

I think the fact that you were able to identify your own struggles, while still maintaining a good relationship is huge. I think “different” is a better descriptor here over my saying it’s “better.” It’s always nuanced and everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. When you find that those blocks all naturally interlock together and you support one another to fill those gaps, that demonstrates a really healthy connection.

Perfect. What games?

My wife and I are basically attached at the hip. She’s my best friend and we do so much to support each other on all fronts.

Meanwhile in our friend circles, it’s the total opposite. People that are clearly with the wrong partners but refuse to change or grow; one that continues chasing a relationship they’ve admitted is toxic for them; couples that are married out of what seems like trauma alone or they’ve simply drifted due to never communicating; a few with the weird “wife bad lol” boomer mentality; a now-acquaintance that used to always give everyone unsolicited advice, has now started expressing misogynistic views after being perpetually single. Just no capacity for introspection and self-reflection.

My wife and I are by no means perfect, but we are open with each other, we cheer each other on, and we talk through things that bug us. The building blocks are simple but some folks refuse to adhere to them, while constantly wondering what went wrong.

Women have always been the strongest leaders throughout my life. My wife is my world and I personally think that women make better leaders. I’ve never been interested in any of the dumb humor and thought tropes that come out of male circles about women, even dating back to high school. All of that shit has always felt weird and makes me lose respect for the men that lean on that kind of lazy punch-down humor.

I need an emotional support kitten in my pocket at all times.
