Never buying from NZXT ever again. Trust completely and utterly gone.

I hadn’t heard Bullet Heaven to describe this genre yet, I love it.

No, I don’t feel more. I feel equally. None of it good. People dying is not good.

I don’t even think his company should exist to deny people health care in the first place.

I think the latter is fine, but there’s lots of active celebration going on.

It’s pretty wild how little empathy humanity has as a whole. The discourse on Lemmy around this murder has been a little disturbing. The man had children.

Edited to add, people trying to gotcha me by saying people who were denied healthcare also had children aren’t making the point they think they are. Empathy goes all ways. The comment I replied to said that you can not approve of his work while also not celebrating his death. That’s what I’m agreeing with. Imagine being a child and seeing the internet actively celebrating your father’s death. It’s fucked up.

If you sincerely think that my comment is expressing support for his company denying health coverage for other people with children, then we simply cannot have a rational conversation.

I think it’s a strange assertion to say no corporation does this when there definitely ones that do. Money losing is a matter of perspective. Companies use loss leaders to generate other income all the time. Donations are very good PR. Anyway, it was just one suggestion of something they could have done that wasn’t the scummiest thing possible.

I don’t like all the changes in Windows 11, but by and large it’s been fine for me.

Aaah it’s in the article itself! Didn’t see that, thanks.

What do you play and on what settings? I know the 1080ti was a beast but it must surely be showing its age.

I don’t see any text for this post, it’s just a link on my end.

Might be a year before Nvidia’s next 60 class card is out. They usually release from highest spec to lowest.

This is a strange comment when the article is about the launch on December 12th. Maybe the joke went over my head?

I’m not trying to make an argument that donating the inventory would have been profitable for them. I think we’re talking past each other. Have a good day.

I liked what I played of Daggerheart, and its hope/fear. I just don’t think it would translate well into s video game. They’re very different mediums and I don’t think it’s crunchy enough to play well as a video game.

Ironically, I think a Critical Role game doesn’t need to really be based on any ttrpg. Could just be an action rpg.

You absolutely can write off the full value of the product as a charitable donation, and I said nothing of profit. Of course they wouldn’t financially profit, but they would be getting rid of inventory they are sitting on and spending money storing, and obviously wanted to offload.

And as for why, are you serious? Good PR is not valueless. Can you imagine the stark difference in headlines between “NZXT launches program with rates worse than an illegal loan”, versus “NZXT supplies gaming computers to children’s hospital” or even "NZXT new major sponsor of [insert huge eSports league] "?

Which is good if someome wasn’t aware of the controversy at all.

Yeah, there is a lot of risk. So they could instead just not rent out last gen PCs at exorbitant prices. They could, say, donate that inventory to a children’s hospital and write off the value.

Used to like NZXT and suggested them to others. Won’t be buying another product from them ever again. This program is pretty outrageous. So tired of this “you’ll own nothing”.

Well in contrast to the other comments so far, I loved the original and remakes so far. I don’t mind that they are split into different games and in fact think it is allowing them to expand on the game in ways I’m enjoying. I love the combat, voice acting, minigames. It’s such a solid hit in the nostalgia center of my brain. It’s very much got the vibe of “this is how it always looked in my head when I was a wide-eyed ten year old”. Can’t wait for the last part!

I mean… Nintendo has released several devices with physical buttons that fold. They sold famously well.

Also, you could read the article. There’s a massive picture of the patent with, shocker, physical buttons.
