Hey, at least they refunded the money customer's gave them. 

Are we turning the ben regarding wokness?

Now a days you don't duell boot. You virutalize windows and then pass through some hardware if you desire and need it to the Windoze vm and use it. People game on virutalized windows in linux passing through the graphics card etc. There is a small hit on the performance but most people have well more powerful computers than they need to game with in any case. You still need to have a dedicated graphics card unless you  use one of those professional cards that cost wel more than an insanely configured gaming or even workstation. (Both AMD and Nvidia block that option to use VM for graphics for retail skus yes, they are that much o f a shit)

For people that just want to use windoze for some productivity office work etc. A simple basic VM is good enough an a newer machine.  Only the older and weaker machines are hindered but it still works just a bit slower and more limiited.

There is even project looking glass for linux that is taking the graphics card output so that you don't h ave to kvm or swap inputs on your monitor (or have a dedicated monitor for windows vm) that is developing slowly but developing in any case.

I exclusively use Linux for everything but my windows gaming. I don't know enough to be able to do the passthrough and some other setups otherwise I'd have it on my gaming computer and VM Winndowz and call it a day. The only outer place I use Windoze is at work and that is required for their antiquated setup and security "concerns".  Laughs to self.  The crazy thing is almost every back end tool they use is Linux capable. Their cridtical systems (servers) are linux and they use Windows for the end users. lol.

Before someone decides to start bitching about Linux... there are a lot of issues regarding Linux and it is a pain for someone that wants to point their cursor on something and have it just work.

As for running all 3 OS's. You can build an hackintosh and do that. I haven't but know people that have and so far they are still able to use the most current OS so Apple hasn't blocked that yet. I currently have an old intel mac pro that I got refurbed for less than 200 dollars that works fine and I was going to play around with Linux on it as well as multiboot and such. I might just do exactly what @Nessa mentionied!  I'd not be able to store much on it as it has 250gigs SSD but that is enough for setup of all three OSs. (not enough ram for vm for this machinie at least not for Windoze bloat ware. I can get a VM linux working well on that .. or should be able to as I had a similar setup on an old i5 third gen intel laptop)

People who are willing to and want to put in a bit of effort should move to Linux for the majority of their computing needs. Hell even Windows gaming is much improved over what it was just 10 years ago. With Microsoft continuing their "Recall" bullshit and requiring an Microsoft account for registering windoze (and blocking each way that comes up to bypass this) amoung other bullshit they are doing... this is only going to push people off Microsoft Windoze and elsewhere. At least those that have the ability and desire to dig in and do a bit of reading and learning.

I did VM linux for a bout a year or more off and on, then moved to an very old laptop mentioned above. Since replaced that laptop with another cheaper (and more powerful but not much more lol) laptop and exclusively use Linux. When I am not on a linux laptop Iam using Chrome (linux with some google features) Yes they track you. I use Chrome for my Google accounts which I had for decades (since it started or close to it) and am moving away from it.  When I am able to setup a linux server with some nice storage space, I will move even more from it. Email, dropbox, mega etc replacement the works. Serve my movies (ripped from my DVDs) as well as music (ripped from my CDs ) all working with out any big brother bullshit of Google, apple ir especially Microsoft.

TL:DR

Move from Windows/Apple etc. to Linux. If you are smart.

Many sources on the web to learn from.

Treat Windowze like the bitch it is.

P.S. I use Debian based Linux.  Arch is too bleeding edge IMO for a noob. I don't like chasing bugs and issues. Fedora is derived from a company that is a Microsoft equivilant in the Linux world. Linux Mint  is the ones I'd suggest for someone new.

As for Chris Avellon...

I had completely forgotten this guy, except the fact that I never really liked him. I remember that he also was a spineless guy just like Cain. I'm sure there's a reason why he's critical now about the lore and shit, he's never opened his mouth for anything about the "lore" that Bethesda shat upon in Fallout 76.

The tweets linked above in case you can't see them:

Keep that shit up Microsoft.  Other than a gaming computer which has shit all on it and my work computer (that work provides) I don't use Microsnooze. I moved to linux and getting more proficient to the point that I might do the Linux from scratch where I don't even use the distro setup.  Or at a minimum use the source OS that everybody butches to create their distro

I haven't been using windoze for months for my daily driving and general work.

There are alternitives that people have and will start to move to with this bullshit you keep on trying to do.  Now we can't even create a local account? Seriously? NOt without jumping through a ton of hoops that you keep on removing options and ability to do so.

Oh and even Windoze gaming on Linux is getting better and better with ever better tools.

If you are hiring too many white men etc. It can be a bias but it also can be that the indistry is dominated by this metric. What to do? Companies can hire those that don't have all the skills BUT put them in a program to help develop these skills.  Grow and develop those alternate groups. The problem wasn't hiring a diverse workforce. It was due to fucking hire loosers that can't do the basics of the job.

Hit the road Joe, and don't you come back no-mo-no-mo-no-mo.

Wow. They did him wrong. Real wrong.
That just shows what they are and how they think. Can't even give a few moments of respect to Biden and his democrat career. Like hiim or not. he performed within the democrats agenda and got their shit done.  Start to have some issues and you get a kick in the ass and totally disrespected. Just wow. Jesus Christ they were assholes to him.  Fuck Kackles worked with him as second in command for a little over 3 years and still no respect? Shit. That is just cold.

What can you expect from them? 

LOL...
 

Apparently Amanda was the cause of MASSIVE DAMAGE the show.

What shows you how bad your group you thought you were part of is actually is can be seen as an example below:

https://www.foxnews.com/media/delay-bidens-dnc-speech-primetime-disrespect-sitting-president-humiliation-ritual

They just pushed him so late most people didn't even see him. I know some people (that liked him) waited through all that BS to see him and ended up just going to sleep before he was allowed on the stage.  Seriously? That is how you treat someone? It was bad enough that you both hid the fact that he was deteriorating from the public and then once it was so clear and the shit stunk to high heaven you ousted him. They had to go and disrespect him on what might be his last major public speech? Just wow.

For about a week I've been getting bombarded on Youtube with shill/cope 'Ukraine is winning' video recommendations.  Just about every one I bother to look at is cobbled together stock footage with AI voiceovers.  Can't figure out if it's a psyops or hate-watch engagement farming.  Whatever is going on, I block them and they get replaced with another channel doing the same thing.  Now when something pops up I don't recognize it gets blocked out of hand.  Pretty annoying.

I can't tell you how many videos I was given through Facebook regarding Kackles needing us to donate.  Right after she was the prime canidate this started. I kept on getting them until I realized that they were using a mailing list from the local goverment that is supposed to be used to give out details of policies, rules, general infromation regarding what is going on.

I mention that as there might be something going on with your browser.  some random cookie that they are looking at to send this to you. Perhaps you are researching news on the subject.  My browser I used for bulshit searches dumps everyting once I shut it down. Nothing stays so I get fresh results based on the ... then current searches.  I used to get a metric shit ton of shit like that and other shit I had no interest in.

Yep... I guess if you give the customers (that actually buy ) what they want they will buy the game.

This along with Harry Potter game and Balder's Gate 3 will clearly show those companies that want $$$ what is needed and where they will go wrong.

This bimbo thinks her socialist policies are going to jive with that majority of the American people. 

The problem is the majority of the American people have been brainwashed. Extensive efforts have been taken to brainwash those in educational systems as young as Kindergarden through PHDs.  Punitve measures for people that even remotely try to think and and act differently.  The Felony convictiions of Trump is one such example.  The few experts capable of speaking on the subject and willing to speak what they see and not the brainwashed dribble that have been forced down their necks have all stated that this wasn't reasonable and in several cases legal. The justice system pushed an agenda and it is so evident by these experts (actual lawyers )  not only based on their experiences but a few actually cited laws and practices that can easily verified.

Even with CNN stating that it would do more harm than good, people will still stay in their brainwashed confort and accept her because thay are so afraid of Trump (I see it as two prong approach. We are the best and Trump is the worst most evil person ever and a danger to our democracy)  It is obvious that she was hired due to her race as opposed to a stronger canidate that got the Dem's agenda done. This is because they had Biden.  Now she is selected because of both time and name recognition along with race. Reason why the democrats are gaining in the african american voting pols since she was announced.

The danger to our democracy is all the agendas being pushed by politicians, media outlets and multibillion cooroporations. Pushing people that will do what they want to further their control over society instead of someone that will actually do society good.

My thoughts about Henry was meh previously but this has greatly raised my respect for him. Hopefully he doesn't crumble and do what they want.

I agree I'd rather have no Warhammer then have some bastardized version. I am not even a fan of the IP.

I have zero interest in the Olympics and never watch it or follow the news about it so this is literally the first time I'm seeing this.

And I have to say, "What the everlasting fuck?" Seriously?

I grew up in the 80s and there were street kids who were self-taught Break Dancers that left this ridiculous, middle-aged woman who should be driving her kids to their soccer game instead of embarrassing her country, in the dust.

There is no way she got in without the deck being stacked. I realize that Cronyism and Nepotism have always been a factor in success, but most people have the chops to back it up. This is what a developed country sent to the Olympic games? THIS?

Hell, I am confident that a middle aged wonan in decent physical shape was taught just 2 or 3 months how to do some stuff they would do better than she did. Either they lied or where she came from nobody dances.

So, in all of her country there wasn't anyone capable of doing better?  Seriously?

Now they are questioning why these petitions are occuring?

Almost anyone that has learned and practiced this can do better.

Just like the case with Mozilla, Linux also has been going downhill for quite a while now.

It depends on the distro and how much you know about Linux and willing to do the "work". 

you can even pickk and choose and make your own distro with all the stuff you want.

Regardless of Linux going down hill (which some have done and some choices are not the best.. looking at you Snap Packs) it is still much more secure and open than Windows even with one of the lesser distros. (Looking at you Unbuntu )

Some of the choices are actually promising llike the imutable OS. You can't have your OS go bad. You have sandboxed apps (in reality the only choice which does have some limitations)  Not perfect by far. have to jump through hoops to get anything that requires low level access to run (apps etc. pass through etc.) but do able if you can learn and get it to work. The upside is besides not being able to do any changes (from a bad actor) to the OS, each update you have at least one backup. You can go in and save mutiple backus (at a increased use of disk space but with large disk now being cheaper and cheaper this isn't much of a limitation for a desktop and only slightly more limiting for a notebook)

Lots of videos and guides on the web to help you, however, most of them are geared to the main distros (like Unbuntu) but if you learn the core distros Arch, Debian, Red Hat then you can just change the key commands words to the distro of your choice and get most things to work. Most in being that not all distros have the same featues. The freedom to do whatyou want combined with opensource and not too many cooporations means a lot of mess there.

You want plug and play and not windows you have to do Apple. (which also has gone down hill in some aspects but I aplaude their use of the new M1 chip over intel)

There are several game mod developers that I know that use Linux as their main driver and even play most of their games and just pass through the devices to a Windows VM to get their windows only games (games they can't get to work or needs serious works around or not stable yet) to work.

Bottom line, despite some miss steps from Linux community and such, you can do so much more with it now than you could do 30, 20 or even 10 years ago. Hell even 5 years ago the IOMMU wasn't as solid and functional as it is now. There is even a work in progress to pass the video output from the graphics card (dedicated) to the system to show on your linux desktop with only very small microsecond delays. Very impressive.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's just like Prohibition. We'll have to put up with this Woke shit for about a decade but then people come to their senses. Mostly after the second time they post a half-a-billion-dollars loss quarter.

What I'm waiting for is the creative content that's being held back until all this shit sorts itself out. Right now there's a game that is going to blow our minds just waiting for the right time to release. And that studio is going to be the new King.

Why wait? There are games that are being relesaed that are killing the market. If this content is something great, it should be done now IMO. When the woke sters decide to attack it, it would get free advertisment. Like Harry Potter or Baulders Gate 3.

Hell I bought Harry Potter just because of the woke having a shit fit stating they would boycott the game and it wouldn't make any money. I bought it to support a company that would release such a game. Ended up it wasn't a half bad game even for a non harry potter fan.

How do you implode a series based on the most popular miniatures wargame of all time and featuring a bankable star?

You go woke.

they fucked up Rings of Power. That shit looked visually good when I first started watching it but the story was a snoozefest and then it started getting woke and I just lost interest. I forced myself to see a couple of episodes as sometimes I can watch a show even with their woke shit but I forget what happened but some shit came up and I stopped watching it and started watching other stuff and soon forgot about it.

Now Amazon is pushing this hard (season 2) each commercial has to have that playing. I don't care how much you push it in commercials. I am not going to suffer through any more of that crap.

Why don't they  make the series themselves?  It would cost some but perhaps crowd sourceing ?

Kackles, what record?

I love it that she can't draw a crowd. I remember when I was younger and having a canidate run for Senator in our state visiting a store. You could hardly get in the parking lot. You couldn't get in the store. (She was standing outside of the store) The inside of the store was pretty much empty.  Clogged up the streets. (I lived right behind the store so it was easy for me to get around through various back yards that I knew the owners etc. ) Fuck it was crowded. This was for a no name canidate running for Senator. She lost.  What the canidate for president and even more the vice president and acting president should draw should shut down the entire neighborhood, perhaps even more. Hundreds .. and in a very strong Union/Democratic state? With fellow locally elected democrats with her? Just fucking wow.

I hope all this out right fucking lying and bullshit doesn't interfer with the proper election of the president. 

I wouldn't have even believed you if you stated what is happening now was from a movie much less actual reality?

LOL...

But Todd was a member of the Chess Club!

AS for the heavy information regarding your background would have played quite well if in the end you could find out you were a synth.  Many elements lean toward to this direction IMO.
