  • When some stupid high percentage of animal test subjects die from the test, you would think they'd work on the product more before moving forward. Instead they're like "welp caused paralysis and death in the majority of our animal test patients, this is totally ready for human tests!"

  • Yes HDD are disc based tech, yet I've never heard them refered to as just a disc drive without the hard despite having a platter disc in them. While not being the end all be all, wikipedia has disk or disc drives listed as referring to purely optical media.

    And I use them to access a plethora of media from old back ups/family pictures, DVDs/Blu-ray, backing up said DVD/Blu-ray to Plex if I like them that much I want them digitally, old games(my oldest still useable disc is my 1998 minted "GOTY" Diablo 1.) Also just never hurts to have the ability to burn a CD or DVD either, though mainly still get the use out of CD burning for cars without an aux.

  • I mean it doesn't have a disc drive and the base OS is Linux, so if the game you want to play doesn't work on Linux it won't work on the Linux version of Steam Deck, if that is what you're asking. If you know how to make isos and move them over if the game requires, you can install windows on the steam deck and basically run anything that the steam deck can handle hardware wise whether its on steam or not. Ive seen people who installed windows on it or also kept the original Linux Steam OS play many non-steam games. Some of these other devices were built with Windows though from the ground up though if you don't want to reinstall anything or deal with drivers, I personally plan on getting a Steam Deck here in a few months next Christmas then replacing Linux with Windows so i know for sure my software will work as sacrilegious as it is.

  • Same I went to sleep in my captains bed, Sam and Sarah at different times where using it which meant I had to go sleep in the peasant quarters. I've also seen all of them sitting at a table presumably "eating" by themselves or in pairs since there was food on the table. 1 time Ioaded into my ship to see everyone in the mess hall staring at me children of the corn style, thought there was about to be a mutiny. Lastly I periodically see them at select work stations. One of Barrett's fav spots was in my workshop fiddling with the research console. I've also seen Sarah "interact" with the weapons table or seen any I've assigned as crew sit down at crew stations/consoles around my ship

  • It's only eye revealing if you literally aren't paying attention. Vader straight up chokes and breaks the neck of an officer, killing him, that he's interrogating on the rebel blockade runner in the first 10 minutes. Stormtroopers destroy and burn uncle owens farm and leaves his and his wife's corpses out in the open after burning them down to the skeletons. Han shooting first, Alderran is genocided by the death star, princess Leia is tortured, albeit it off screen, we get the scene of the interrogation droid with all his "toys" floating towards her before the door closes. All the pilots die including lukes best friend biggs fighting the death star except wedge luke and a few y wings, It's never been a "kids" story till arguably the prequels when Lucas secured rights to toys and went on to push story elements that could be made into toys to sell.

  • The thing they're refusing to do by forcing everyone to snitch on themselves? Yeah I've heard of it and when you investigate shit you don't gotta rely on people arbitrarily snitching with 0 evidence just to avoid the bull shit. What's next? Someone gets a DUI on campus and they bill everyone for the damage and take away everyone's licenses?

  • Wheres your data that the suicides are even a big percentage, not even a majority, just a big percentage of those rates due to regret instead of denial of care? From the data I have access too its undeniably higher by insane magnitudes when they are denied health care. So wheres your data?

  • For my first playthrough I made a chunk of change making/selling adaptive frames. They're made from iron and aluminum which are very abundant. Outside resource gathering via herbing or mining, the only point of them is as a home for you to decorate and store excess crew/loot. You can setup crafting stations but every station minus a herb farm you can setup for an outpost, you can buy to put in your ship. For me that makes them less useful as I just use my ship as my home and only visit outposts to gather up mined resources to craft into goods to sell or upgrades. In my initial 70 hour playthrough I even setup defenses and made sure the crew stationed there had bitching weapons but was never attacked to my knowledge.

  • Yeah maybe my mind is getting muddled with age but I vaguely remember several sci Fi settings with that kind of "from a certain perspective" moments in the 80s/90s. The matrix backstory is another just replace aliens with robots. Hell mars attacks though the late 90s early 2000s kinda flips that on its head by having several scenes where humans think they're just misunderstanding the martians diplomacy and the martians having 0 interest in diplomacy.

  • As the computer nerd in my friends/family circle, Im constantly being gifted old PCs from people. Some I keep and repurpose into servers/other things and others I just recycle for them. I also am an avid PC gamer so when my rig gets retired I usually upgrade the other servers internals from parts I had left over. Don't know if something else is viable for you to keep costs down, even if you can get the PC without a HDD but everything else.
