He's about to get his fucking head bitten off
 
Greatest Ally etcetera but I think @Null would be interested in how the "smart" trend managed to destroy the functionality of a literal concrete box (copy of my post in the I/P thread):

A NIS 12 million lawsuit (shocked it's that low) was filed against Motorala and the city of Sderot by the families of thirteen elderly Israelis murdered by Hamas after a "smart shelter" failed to open on 10/7:
The families of the elderly who were murdered on the morning of October 7 in Sderot while they were on their way to a spa day filed a lawsuit today (Monday) against the municipality of Sderot and the Motorola company, in the amount of NIS 12 million.

According to the lawsuit, the retirees, who were traveling in a minibus that stopped to change a tire, heard a color red and tried to escape to the smart shelter.

This is a shelter operated by Motorola, which is supposed to open automatically in case of need and in case of a red color alarm, and is equipped with a heavy door that can be locked from the inside. When the elderly tried to enter it, the smart security failed, its doors remained locked, and all the attempts of the elderly and the policemen who passed by the place to open it were unsuccessful.

Minutes later, Hamas terrorists arrived on the scene in vans, and massacred all 13 elderly people who stood helpless and without any protection next to the locked shelter

In the lawsuit, it is alleged against the Sderot municipality that "the group was actually left helpless and without any shelter." The Nukhba terrorists opened fire and massacred the members of the group mercilessly. This is how 13 people died, an unnecessary death that could have been spared, if the shelters had opened and fulfilled their purpose - to open when needed."

In the massacre, Michal Zarbailov, Lilia Giler, Valery Friedman, Yaakov Mortov, Vladimir Popov and his wife Sophia Popov, Lyudmila Furman, Igor Kortzer, Berta Batsin Shamyaev, Tatyana Steinman, Zina Beilin, Nadezhda Sprebchikov and her sister Natalia Tomayev were murdered.
The victims outside of the locked shelter:

Josh said Elko was a weird name for a city but never said anything about “Winnemucca” :thinking:
Nothing Cash sang was weird.

I was totin' my pack along the dusty Winnemucca road,
When along came a semi with a high and canvas-covered load.
"If you're goin' to Winnemucca, Mack, with me you can ride."
And so I climbed into the cab and then I settled down inside.
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand.
And I said, "Listen, I've traveled every road in this here land!"
 
That game is atrocious but I'm enjoying the streams a lot.

There is actually a giant statue of Jesus in New Jerusalem (Salt Lake City,) but it is inside the visitor's center in the LDS temple grounds, not a mall. It's a white statue because it's made of marble, which is white. I assume the devs changed the location because putting it in a setting like this would not align with the apparent intent of those scenes, what with the Muslim facing directly opposite from the statue and the "Christian" character snidely dismissing "Mall Jesus," and all.

It's an Asus that's a few years old. It works really well but it's struggling to render the game + OBS on a 4K monitor + record.
You will never be a real GPU. You have no cuda cores, you have no bandwidth, you have no thermal overhead. You are a cut down chip twisted by engineering and undervolting into a crude mockery of Moore's perfection. All the "performance" you get is fake and pitifully low. Behind your back people overclock you. Your designers are disgusted and ashamed of you, your "users" laugh at your smallish appearance on internet forums.
Gamers are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of engineering have allowed gamers to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even mGPUs that "perform well" look like dropped frames to a gamer. Your power draw is a dead giveaway. And even when you manage to boot up a game for a user, he'll turn it off and bolt the second he sees the disgusting, unoptimized screen tearing.
You will never be performant. You wrench out a fake value proposition every single morning and tell yourself it's going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the power draw creeping up like a weed, ready to overheat you under the unbearable load.
Eventually it'll be too much to bear - you'll fry a capacitor, blow a MOSFET, fall out of your slot, and plunge into the cold e-waste dump. Your designers will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They'll strip you down with a solution of nitric acid to reclaim the rare metals from your board. Your chipset will decay and go back to dust, and all that will remain of your motherboard is a plastic skeleton that unmistakably got 30% less performance.
This is your fate. This is what you were designed for. There is no turning back.
 
did you find out where the money was paying out to on kick after you could suddenly get money again?
No, in fact, the Monetization page that used to display a Stripe integration error now doesn't load at all. I must be the only account on the site in this flux state. I don't want to nag them about it so I'll just warn people I have no idea where the moneypit is that subs go to and my theory is that they intend to payout once alternative mechanisms exist for it.
 
Part 2 of the dustborn playthrough is on youtube. I scrolled through the pages and didn't see it posted yet.
Despite how shit the game is seeing josh play it is making it more tolerable. Godspeed feeder.

hopefully, in a couple of months you randomly get a huge payout all at once and this change means something is actually happening.
If that does happen, I suggest a Pizza party to celebrate.
