The foul was on the continuation of the 4th step

At Voyager1's speed(38,000ish mph), it would take 77,380 years to get to Proxima Centauri B (4.24 lightyears away), the closest potential habitable exoplanet.

We ain't going nowhere lol

ETA - For reference, Apollo 10 was the fastest humans have travelled in a man made craft at about 25,000 mph.

I remember winning that one at the Thibodaux Firemans fair by shooting a miniature basketball into the small hoop 3 times in a row. The good old days.

My biggest complaint with EA/DICE games is spending all their time on aesthetics and polish instead of fixing the actual core mechanics of the game. I don't get it. It's like polishing a turd.

Seriously. I would love to see what their testing protocols are like prior to a release. I work in a quasi-tech related position, and ANY update we receive from the SaaS items we use are thoroughly tested prior to accepting and rolling them out to our company.

I know people joke that in gaming the users are the testers, but damn, make sure something as vital as the main menu is functioning before pushing a 17gb update.

The new update including the frozen maps seemingly has frozen everything lol. I played one or 2 games, but any time I return to the home screen, clicking on any multiplayer option puts me on the battlepass screen. Looks like a bunch of people are having this issue with the menu screen

ETA - the snow/freezing maps are really cool though. Your goggles start to freeze, restricted FOV, I figured out going near a burning barrel defrosts them.

All of this stems from large corporations in Ag buying up the small guys and resulting in lack of competition. Farmers are squeezed on both ends. There are now only a handful of seed and materials providers. Their prices have soared because there is no competition. On the other end, there are only a handful of buyers for the end product. They tell the farmers what they will give them for the product. They can also do this because there is no competition.

Farmers have zero leverage either way due to monopolies on each end. They are losing money and the number of farms in the US has plummeted. Instead of stepping in and stopping this, the Government gives them subsidies, which those subsidies end up going straight from the the farmers to the large corporations to cover debt that the farmers have with them due to their monopolistic positions. In my opinion, this is damn near money laundering from the US Govt to the big boys in AG (Bayer, Corteva, Syngenta Group, BASF). They know the "subsidies" are going straight to these huge corporations, and not really the farmers.

Bringing in exported beef isn't a solution either, that just undercuts the US farmers by purchasing from their competitors who don't have to follow the same laws as them.

Don't Die?

Just looked at witchfire, added to my list. That looks great.

You play until the whistle or the horn. Every single game DQ plays, I like him more. Certain players on our current team could learn alot from the rookie, which is embarrassing for them and the organization

Welp the legion 7i I was looking at went from around 1700 to 2200, as the sale ended through bestbuy.

Somewhat glad I didn't jump on it. Decided to upgrade my ROG ally (500gb to 2TB) and use that for games it can handle only and look in to potentially just getting a desktop for gaming. I figured I can make it work, I'll just have to put it away when company comes over.

That being said, where do I even start with picking out a desktop (prebuilt) or putting one together myself. Since I'm not paying the premium for portability, I'd say I'd like to budget around $1500 for it. I will need a monitor, as the one I currently have is an 18" 1080p. I already have a gaming keyboard and mouse, so that's a couple hundred I don't need to spend.

It's 20% off on steam right now ($47) and $39 through microsoft/xbox.

I began playing on xbox gamepass, but since that's gone up to a ridiculous amount/month, I dropped down to essential membership and I don't think I have access any more.

The game was good enough that I put 40+ hours on xbox, and will likely buy it on steam and start from the beginning.
