  • Not within the computer’s lifetime. Consumer-grade SSDs are generally rated for 3000-5000 write cycles or more, and contain some kind of wear levelling mechanism to distribute write operations over the entire physical medium to reduce the chance of individual block failures. The first SSD I ever bought is still going strong as my server’s root filesystem.

    If it is a war you want…

    Clothes are always touching your skin. You can always see your nose. You are now swallowing manually. You can feel an insect crawling up your leg. And in case you have tinnitus, let me just say… eeeeeeeeeeeeee





  • It’s always had its fans. The story is a pulp adventure with notes of Stephen King (without the cocaine), the action gameplay ranges from underwhelming to pretty bad, and the narration’s delivery by Matthew Porretta is flatter than a bowling alley, but it all comes together as something incredibly charming. I credit Twitch user shaft_of_justice with the most accurate description: “the best 6/10 game there is”.





  • I was kind of past giving a shit. The teacher and I hated each other’s guts, but she couldn’t do a damn thing to me because I was top of my class (ESL at least) and represented my school multiple times in national competitions, and any attempt on her part to sabotage me would have been obvious. The worst thing she could do was mark one of my answers incorrect because I had used an American synonym instead of the British word (I think it was “trunk” instead of “boot”), and when I reminded her that she had marked it correct for two other students, she went back and crossed them out. My classmates knew and didn’t resent me for it.

    I took an option to graduate early from that class mostly out of spite, but partly because I knew I couldn’t keep biting my tongue.


  • If I huff enough copium, I can sometimes convince myself that they’re just stupid.

    Unfortunately, the mandatory PSN requirement probably yields them more profit (through some means) than direct sales would from the non-PSN regions.

    Another possibility is something I heard mentioned regarding Nvidia: Japanese and Far-Eastern businesses often favor control over maximized profits, and mandatory PSN might be a way of exercising this control. Just a hypothesis though.


  • It’s not about “my billionaire is better than your billionaire”. Epic could gain complete supremacy overnight and my position wouldn’t change.

    Which may have been illegal, we still have to wait on that particular class action to resolve.

    Can you give me a case number or some other reference? I know of only one class action lawsuit, but that one is concerning the resale of Steam activation codes.


  • Who’s the man-child here?

    Sweeney is the man-child, unequivocally. He’s done things simply to oppose what Valve does, like making the EGS a safe haven for AI and blockchain shovelware games, outright rejecting Linux support for Fortnite (even though there is no technological barrier), and removing Rocket League from Steam. (not an exhaustive list, just to illustrate)

    I wouldn’t say a single bad thing about Sam Lake. He is cursed with limitless creativity in a hostile ecosystem.
