I hope so. I snagged Mirage in a Steam sale late last year and I haven't been able to play it at all yet.

Launch availability sucks as usual, too. Thought I had an XFX from NewEgg until I got the "voided due to insufficient stock" email. Thanks for wasting my morning, NewEgg.

Edit: Also, opting me in to an email newsletter on the occasion of me placing an order that was subsequently voided due to lack of stock is a next level dick move.

I unsubbed from everything over there except for Working Class Calendar and Work Reform. Normies that are still normies in 2025 making me irrationally angry.

This is me. Spanking new 9800x3d with an RTX 3080. I'm not unhappy but I'd planned to buy a new video card by now. 😄

My first thought upon seeing this post title was "Oh, is Ron Amadeo writing for 9to5google now?" 😆

Bunch of greedy ass geezers. I've been watching the MSI RTX 5090 Liquid Suprim SOC. Announced at 2,499. B&H initially had it at that price, then 2,789, then 2,799, then back to 2,789. US MSI store also went to 2,799. Haven't seen a price yet on NewEgg.

Edit: Just noticed that I'd said "4090" instead of "5090". This has been corrected. Apologies for the typo.

After years of releasing its games exclusively on the Epic Store

I thought I bought Valhalla through UPlay or whatever you call it. When did that come out?

Edit: AC Valhalla was released on Nov 10, 2020. Furthermore, Wikipedia says

On PC, the game was an Epic Games Store-exclusive title until December 6, 2022, when it was released on Steam.

but I just checked and the only game I ever bought on Epic was Kena Bridge of Spirits.

For sure, and I think Valkyrie (at least in Ragnarok) is a role I could see Michelle Rodriguez doing. I've not seen much of Tessa Thompson outside of Marvel but playing someone sort of emotionally closed off and broken by life, but carrying on, is something they both do well.

I should watch the D&D movie again.

I obviously was not able to buy an RTX 5090 today. Not surprised, barely disappointed.

 

You'd think we'd have come up with a better system in the last twenty years. 😆

I'm just high enough to wonder if this is somehow deeply revealing of human psychology.

I've been meaning to cancel online for two years. Went on the web site tonight and spent 30 minutes trying to turn this off. The cancel link takes me to a page with two sections, one where I can apparently buy vouchers (whatever they are) and the other just says I have a subscription. No option to turn off auto renewal. Talk about dark patterns. Any suggestions?

Edit: OK, whew. Took me two hours but I finally got it. Had to do it on the eShop on the Switch, which I didn't want to do because I knew I'd have to put in my new WiFi password and then run updates before it'd let me do anything.

This was not a good experience. Very hostile.

Thanks to all who tried to help. ✌️

 

We know now that you can't turn "base metals" into gold through chemical processes, but if you could, gold would no longer be scarce and therefore no more valuable than the base metals.

I was looking at the RTX 5090 listings on NewEgg and the last picture (7/7) on this MSI card is a thing I don't recognize. Anyone know what it is?

 

This started a couple days ago. I tried clearing the browser cache, which did not change the behavior. The counts show up normally in the Lemmy UI. My slrpnk account is my only Lemmy account so I have no visibility as to whether this is an issue on other instances.

Final edit: I got all the Linux stuff right but made a dumb mistake generating the image on the Windows side. Watching the VM boot right now. Thanks to all for your support!

Contemplating Fedora Kinoite for work daily driver. Need to prove that I can virtualize an existing physical Windows 11 machine. Using Bazzite on a personal laptop as a host test bed.

Test host seems to be set up correctly. I layered the packages in the virtualization group, layered virtio-win (from downloaded rpm package), added my user to the libvert group, and enabled libvirtd. After a reboot or two, I can connect with the Virtual Machine Manager and define my VM.

On physical machine I used Disk2vhd to generate a vhdx. Moved that file to the test host and converted to qcow2. Copied disk image to /var/lib/libvert/images and added it as my drive image when I defined the VM.

VM starts but will not boot. Stupid question: Should I have installed virt-win-gt-x64.msi from the virtio-win ISO on the source Windows install before I created the vhdx?

Edit: Since I posted, I installed a Debian guest from scratch in this environment and it runs like a champ. 👍

Cooler didn't arrive until after dinner. If I were twenty years younger I'd have stayed up all night. 😆

As I suspect a lot of people are doing, I'm going to keep using my existing graphics card until RTX 5000 series drops in January. Everything else is new, though. First build in seven years.

 

Now watch the stuff not show up until Tuesday. 😆

Edit: It did arrive today (11/22). Woohoo! Still a weird email. This was NewEgg. Amazon has done this to me as well, but they usually say it's coming early then the shit arrives on the original day (at that point "late") haha. Anyway, have a nice weekend. Hail Satan!

 

Checkmate, Chuck. 👑

Edit: Given the number of downvotes I'm getting, I'm guessing a lot of people have just learned that they've been pronouncing St. John wrong. Don't beat yourselves up. It's not like it's a terribly common name.
