  • Not that I’ve noticed. It’s a 1060 vs an old Intel integrated, so I’d hope I’d immediately notice a game running like sludge, although I’ve been staying away from truly demanding ones on it.

    Only thing that’s annoying is the USB4 dock crashes the laptop if I unplug it, but my limited research on that is pointing at a Wayland bug, something about a display’s frame buffer disappearing.








  • I think if that were true, they’d be less succeptible to Nazi propaganda and wouldn’t have voted for the MAGA ticket in droves. They also would’ve taught their kids not to support what their grandparents literally fought and died against in the war…

    Unless you mean civil war history with a particular slant. Certain boomers definitely “studied” that history.







  • For #2, I’d definitely say it depends on the type of spoiler. Merely giving away the general events isn’t going to ruin good media. Though if someone is basically in effect recreating the whole scene(s) lazily in a different medium, then that can ruin the ability to experience it in the same way.

    I would liken it to how the Red Wedding in GoT was portrayed in its own media: As done in the earlier seasons, it was a crazy surprise of an experience. If it happened in season 8, it would’ve been a shitty, “here are the things that happened” kind of portrayal and it would’ve been kinda’ what ever.

    That’s not even speaking to spoilers, but story telling in general. If they’re doing a shitty job of telling the story, spoiler context or no, then it’ll kinda’ ruin the story either way. Spoilers are themselves story telling. It’s not all black and white good or bad. It’s how it’s done and what is covered that makes it good or bad.

    Though with spoilers, it’s far less likely that people are going to try to really do it justice, especially in a meta-context like talking about the show, so spoilers are more often given in poor form for story telling.
