Just like all the thousands of people eating tide pods? Or maybe it’s just rage bait…

Don’t give him credit for TFA. That film set the entire trilogy up for failure with its opening crawl. There was no future for the sequels as soon as he decided to make a shitty ANH remake.

It’s both, people don’t draw inspiration from just one thing. It’s also Hidden Fortress, but that doesn’t make the WW2 elements any less relevant. Star Wars is about the fight against fascism and imperialism in many forms.

How is Star Wars even remotely grimdark? That’s just a wild criticism.

And the game you’re talking about literally has no Jedi or Sith at all, it’s entirely about the regular people of the galaxy.

Yeah I absolutely do not care about that. I also won’t bother to get a 4k TV until I get some banger clearance deal or something because it does not fucking matter. I grew up on tube tvs dude, anything that isn’t fuzzy is golden. Most of what I’m playing is either indie or ancient, and seeing giant pixels in perfect clarity does nothing to improve the experience.

That’s fair, it is streaming only at the moment. I had honestly forgotten, I don’t play much that really needs perfect latency, so I’ve just been enjoying streaming on mine for months now.

You want access to games or services that are either better or only available on Windows without having to deal with the desktop Windows interface. That is literally the reason to buy it. Game Pass and popular live services can woo plenty of people over.

What would that be exactly? Gamepass already works great on linux, it’s a better experience on my steam deck than fighting with my windows laptop.

It seems like the main audience is people who are scared of Linux and just don’t want to learn something new.

Nah, I’ll just keep gaming on a cheap Linux PC and fuck ever buying a console again. Honestly at this point a 5 year old GPU gives you access to 99% of all games ever made, why spend so much to play 4 shitty ‘AAAA’ games a year?

What are you talking about? It would allow them to revoke the citizenship of people born in the US to 2 non-citizens. That’s not a significant portion of the population.

How would this result in anyone being stateless? You do realize people still inherit the citizenship of their parents right?

This is by far the most interesting part. I want to know more about this, like why the author is so certain this wasn’t a joke.

What do you mean by “better off”?

I guess it would have the same nutritional value, but that’s not really why you drink milk. Like, I could eat peanuts, grapes, and bread for a healthy meal, but I’d much rather have a PB&J (probably with a creamy glass of oat milk).

Did you read the whole article? They followed up by exposing kidney cells to the extracted micro and nanoplastics and they caused significant amounts of cell death. There is definite evidence that something in these plastics is causing harm, and more study is definitely warranted.

They aren’t going to change you view on life, but most are pretty solid. I highly recommend pretty much any books in the High Republic era, particularly “Light of the Jedi”. It’s the first of the new era and it’s a great introduction to the setting. It’s all set a few hundred years before the movies, so the Authors were able to pretty much do whatever they wanted within the basic Star Wars universe.

If you can’t stop the (possible) coming disasters, what’s the point in paralyzing yourself with fear? Do what you reasonably can to prepare, and enjoy the life that you have now while it’s here.

Things will certainly get worse, and disasters will happen in the coming decades, but the end is not right around the corner. The decline will be slow, and it’s still possible that solutions, or at least mitigations, will be found. Look for little ways to contribute something positive, and try to appreciate the moment.
