Picked up elite during the steam sale and am worried I made a mistake :/ The UI is really clunky, seems like they loaded it with options that really are not needed, especially for controllers. Why do i need to be able to toggle my ship lights? I feel like the controls only work some of the time, not sure if I just don't understand them or they are more context sensitive than I thought. Targeting seems especially weird. Also didn't realize there wasn't autopilot, I like flight simulators, not really a fan of finicky fast travel and landing simulators. I will give the game another shot later, but I am pretty disappointed ATM

Not your fault our computer questions thread is a bit poorly named What do you mean by too big of an upgrade exactly? If you are worried about parts compatibility https://pcpartpicker.com/ is a good resource. You can upgrade your processor but you will need to clean off the thermal paste from your motherboard before doing so, which can be a bit finicky.

Is there any particular reason that only 'Idle Thumbs Episodes' has a special icon? I can be a bit neurotic about this sort of thing

Really interesting talk from before the election that covers a lot of the post Trump race vs. economics debate. Also addresses the rise of anti-establishment/demagogues/populists globally

Nature of existing on the internet these days, there will always be a group who can't handle criticism of something they love and will send hate mail

I saw Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them it was just as much of a cynical cash in as expected. Poorly written, heavy use of CGI, bad jokes, predictable plot. I can believe they will be making four more of them, I just hope people get wise after this one.

I am doing some post-election purging of my podcasts both political and otherwise. I really want to replace the Vergecast with another podcast because I don't like them as a media company. Anyone know of a good product focused technology podcast?

I am thinking about making some kind of citrus dessert E ggs L emon or Lime I cing

Gotta get dem mastery points tho

I am planning on waiting for a few expansions to come out before i consider returning to it. Too busy with hearts of iron 4 anyway

I 'completed' Hitman 2016 Season 1 recently. Mechanically this is without question the best Hitman game so far. Storywise its just as bad as the rest of them. While I am not ready to say it is overall better than Blood Money, partially due to the smaller level count, it is close if not tied for the best game in the series in my mind. I was definitely worried about the episodic release schedule, but I think for a game like Hitman it works perfectly. In previous games I would burn through levels doing well enough to finish it until I beat the game, then I would return to previous levels to play around with them more. With the episodic releases I would play individual levels to death, or at least until Mastery 20 and got super excited whenever the next one released. I am not a huge fan of the escalation missions, partially because I am bad at them, but the Elusive Targets concept is really fun. I have also appreciated how good of a game for streaming Hitman is. I wish my internet was better so I could join in. I am very happy with the game overall and hope that season 2 keeps up the momentum.

Those amounts are used to fiddle with average donation size numbers. Sometimes they have symbolism. When I was working with Fight for $15, we were selling shirts for $15 and used it as a suggested donation amount.

Things that passed in states that went for Trump: Arizona raised its minimum wage to $12 an hour also Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a six term racist bigot lost his bid for relection. Florida, North Carolina and Arkansas passed medical marijuana, Montana loosed its restrictions on it as well. I think there is space for a liberal candidate who isn't tied to wall street and will focus on the real issue of growing inequality and dealing with the people left behind by globalization and automation.

He could have swallowed his pride taken a gift in the first episode and that would have been that

For sure, there are probably city and/or statewide votes in most places next year, 2018 will be a chance to make more gains in congress and the senate.

Nixon did pass the EPA

I am really saddened by all my friends that are spouting so much anger and blame right now. I understand the need to vent, but they are declaring they know exactly what happened and who is to blame. This is not how we win.

My plan is to have NPR or NYT on half my screen and local NPR on my other half. Need to find out who wins those school board seats!

Me: Hey Google how will the world end? Google Home: Sorry I can't help with that yet

I find your lack of Steve Gaynor Hitman discussion disturbing

there were so many amazing mosaics and carved decorations in buildings. A taboo on depicting humans and animals in art has lovely results.

This weeks In Our Time podcast is about the Epic of Gilgamesh, coincidence? I THINK NOT! http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b080wbrq

This election has been the culmination of multiple long term issues in this country. The mainstream media's obsession with being 'balanced' even when one side is 100% wrong while at the same time pretending that Republican ideas and Democrat ideas are the only kind of ideas that exist, news programs that are more focused on being entertaining and drawing viewers than informing them, the desire for every political race to be super close so more people will watch the news and a very long campaign by right wing media to discredit more centrist media.
