    cry about it liberals

    it is perfect almost beyond measure

    on the one hand they want to call all modern military shooters bland, brown-hued hoo-rah american jingoist war drum hammering. for the finer, more sophisticated nerd-liberal we have spec ops the line, the only acceptable shooter because it faces you with the mirror of your xenophobia, etc etc

    but on the other hand, strong, empowered, tattooed combat waifu who broke through the grass ceiling

    *belly chuckle*

    I'm sure this is like half joke but I don't really feel like this critique of liberal nerds is at all accurate

    No it's 100% me

    this sweet vindication..

    j/k games depicting women in the military gloss over the actual reality of military life for women and also we should abolish the military and also nation-states

    Well... not to be apologist... but it's not horrible everywhere...

    ...where it's horrible, it's pretty fucking horrible tho...

    I actually know very little of this subject, and I think that'd be a silly complaint anyway, because the alternative is robbing women of the ability to play women in certain games and that's gross.

    But I would not speak on this issue as though I am an expert.

    yes but they are yours and no one else's foot sweat is in them

    so this is frustrating

    my wife bought a HDMI cable specifically to run it from her PC to her TV so she could play video games on her TV and chill that way, especially for when the new Mass Effect comes out

    do the whole Steam Big Picture thing

    aaaaaand every time she tries to run any game, it crashes

    she can't figure out why, and is getting super frustrated with the internet's dumb advice

    anyone got any thoughts on this

    It's odd that the Akira manga had a bunch of cool badass female characters, while the movie had exactly one girl whose entire role was to show her boobs and then eventually get killed

    Didn't the anime have a female resistance fighter who Kaneda was mooning over?

    Oh, yeah, she's still cool. Though I don't think she ever really gets a chance to do much, whereas she has her own storylines in the manga.

    The movie cuts out a ton of storylines as far as I've heard which is what lends the film it's frequent incoherence.

    @Shivahn Okay so like next time, make salted caramel dark chocolate pot-au-creme.

    Salted Caramel Recipe.

    Dark Chocolate Pot au Creme Recipe.

    Adjust recipe for serving sizes, although they will last for a week at least if kept chilled and covered so if you feel like just making enough to open one whenever you can.

    Wait until the chocolate completely chills and sets before pouring the caramel on top of it, otherwise it will sink to the bottom of the chocolate. Also I recommend getting the widest mouthed containers, because it's easier to garnish. For example, with whipped cream, and crushed hazelnuts.

    I'm not even going to lie this is on the dessert menu right now, we sell out of it every night, and it is most likely getting evrrrrrybody laid.

We are told that the individual is worthless compared to the community...

    Howl's Moving Castle is great

    Only Miyazaki can make a scene about walking up steps dramatic and hilarious and surreal and unsettling all at once

    Actually come to think of it Spirited Away has a great staircase scene too

    Miyazaki is the stair master

    crashes of what severity - hangs machine? blue screen? app crashes to desktop?

    I would suspect some video card and driver funkiness first - connect the normal monitor to the computer via HDMI and see what happens?

    When she runs a game, any game, that game crashes and throws an error message. The PC itself doesn't hardlock or nothin'.

    So I'm listening to the SuperBestFriendcast in the car, like you do

    And I get to the end and this week's ending song starts playing

    And I'm like, "Hey, I've heard this before. Is it from a Nintendo game?"

    I'm thinking really hard about it before

    Oh wait

    It's the Jimquisition theme

    That's nice! (Since the guest was Laura Kate Dale, who is a regular on Jim Sterling's podcast)

    I should be embarrassed.

    I'm not sure why the monitor output would crash a game but computers are tricksy beasts, it is known. I suppose updating the video card drivers is also a first step.

    I am now only five features away from a solid prototype of the thing I've been working on. Once those are crammed in I do a lot of polishing and bug hunting and then I can start showing it to appropriate circles to see if I can get their attention.

    At my current rate I'm thinking it'll be ready in early April, maybe sooner.

    @Pony I think this may have to do with the refresh rate of a TV versus that of a monitor, maybe.

    Tho if you're getting the screen to show up and it's just the game crashing this might not apply. But maybe it does?

    Yeah, the screen shows up, like she can get the desktop to show up, browse chrome, etc. As soon as she tries to run a game, poof it craps.
