The Jacksonville Jaguars will don white alternate helmets at least in one game this season. The team made the announcement on Day 2 of training camp.
> "The all-matte white helmet will debut in Week 10, a home matchup against the Minnesota Vikings at EverBank Stadium. 'Shell White' features a matte white finish, black facemask, and the Jaguars current logo. The helmet will be paired with black jerseys."
I see you’re channeling the powers of middle management.
Only needs a sticker that says “You’re a rock star!”
I think you’d be fine just repasting whatever card you go with. My spouse has an EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3, and I have an MSI RTX 3080 Gaming Z Trio. Both cards have been fantastic for us. If I stick with Nvidia, I might try a different brand but so far I’ve been very happy with MSI.
I have no experience with AMD cards, but I’ve heard that Sapphire is highly regarded, probably great like EVGA.
Intel I don’t trust yet, so I’ll wait before I consider their Arc cards.
Super neat to know this! I wonder if we can examine other corporate logos and see what hidden messages they have!
Checks Ubisoft and Hewlett-Packard logos
Huh. There’s something odd about the logos for both these companies. All I see is “negative”, not even “negative space”. Is it normal for the company to just be completely negative, or am I misreading the logo?
Welcome to United Airlines for your new role! You’ll fit in great here!
Thank goodness there are still some good ones left of our childhood heroes.
I’m looking at you, Lucy Lawless Warrior Princess (who has the power of flight per The Simpsons), and especially looking at you LeVar Burton (who has the power of summoning rainbows with his mind)!
Fuck Kevin Sorbo.
Project
I said the real Project 2025.
Perfection.
What is your current GPU if you have one? This should help us give you some perspective if it's worth buying it.
A lot of movies already mentioned, so I'll add two movies which I feel are essential to watch:
- Ex Machina (2014)
- Into the Wild (2007)
Helen [spouse of deceased Corey Comperatore] told the [New York] Post that President Joe Biden tried to call her, but she declined to speak to him since her husband 'was a devout Republican, and he would not have wanted me to talk to him.'
But she added that she does not hold the current president responsible for what happened to her family.
'I don't have any ill will towards Joe Biden,' she said. 'I'm not one of those people that gets involved in politics. I support Trump, that's who I'm voting for, but I don't have ill-will towards Biden. He didn't do anything to my husband. A 20-year-old despicable kid did.'
Oof. It's just sad to see how brainwashed persons are. Blind, unflagging faith in Trump. Nothing will shake them out of Trump Loyalism, even when they're slapped in the face with reality like this. Not even a faux-Tweet on Truth Social, SMS, or a phone call? But Biden tried to contact her? 'I didn't want to take Biden's phone call, because my husband loved Trump and he wouldn't want me talking with him because he's destroying America. Meanwhile, I'll just vote for the person leading the Grand Old Party that will take away my rights while destroying America.'
A case study of Regal Bryant casts Kratos Aurion in a new light and shows how Tales of Symphonia's relationship system informs its story.
I stumbled upon a well-written opinon piece from a fan-created weekly series called "Tales of Praxis". In this edition, Aaron Suduiko (writer) analyzes his revisit of Tales of Symphonia shortly after the Remaster launched in 2023.
The writer discusses the character arcs, compares his experiences to that of his nostalgic time first playing the game as a child, and thoroughly dissects the relationship of Regal Bryant (character in Tales of Symphonia).
Spoiler warning! This article will reveal immediate game spoilers. Yes, Tales of Symphonia is over 20 years, but if it's in your backlog to play because you heard of its legacy, do not read this article.
Sorry, not sure if the reference was known. I was referencing the show The Office. There’s an episode about debt and money problems, and some of the verbiage I used comes from that episode, including “monkey problems”
You can also just write it off. Everyone’s doing it. Use the special coupon, SovCits have done it before. I’ve heard of someone who did it before, just submit it and all your problems go poof.
Alternatively, you can just declare bankruptcy! “It’s nature’s ‘Do Over’.”
Say it. Declare it now on Lemmy, and all your monkey problems go away.
Dang. Firefox, you were the chosen one! You were supposed to bring balance to the browser wars.
I’ll still keep using Firefox as i have for 20 years or whatever, but certainly will begin considering switching to a Firefox fork if this behavior continues.
Do you remember the old internet pop up ads that would play sound and music at 100% volume? And there was no way to mute a tab back in the day (tab browsing was in its infancy), so you’d have to rush to turn down the volume or find that popup and kill it.
Yeah I don’t want those to come back lol.
My spouse and I are gamers. It’s fun to introduce them to a game and watch them experience it for the first time. Every now and then they don’t like a game I’ve introduced, and other times they end falling in love with the game. Right now my spouse is introducing me to Hades, and they’re watching my experiences with it: it’s a good game so far, but they rave about it so I wanted to know what it’s like. We get to hang out while they watch me play, and it’s quality time together. Who knows, maybe this will be a favorite game of mine too?
I don’t watch strangers online play games, but let’s pretend there’s a content creator who I enjoy watching, is close to my age, and I enjoy their personality. How cool would it be to watch that person play some of my favorite games: nostalgic games, ones that inspired me, introduced me to new concepts, broke me, etc. If I aligned with that content creator, I’d love to hear what they think - what they liked and didn’t like about the game, how they felt with the thought-provoking moments, etc.
With that said, some persons like to watch others play games for these reasons and more.

Holiday Giveaway - Steam Codes! - Giveaway Ended
EDIT January 6, 2024:
All games have been accepted by the winners! Thanks everyone for your participation! I loved reading the different messages and hearing some of the positives, the things that made you feel hopeful, and a bit about some of the games you've played. While I wish I could give you all more copies of games, we will do another giveaway like this in the future.
Stay safe, and happy 2024 ahead!
EDIT January 5, 2024:
Minor edit for posterity. All games have been claimed apart from God of War. Each winner of God of War never responded so I'm working down the list through a randomizer to select the eligible winner for this game. I'll update this post one final time as soon as we have an eligible winner that claims this final giveaway.
EDIT January 4, 2024:
There was no response received for the selected winners for Elden Ring and God of War.
I am re-drawing for both these games and will update this post once these final two game codes are accepted by the new winners.
EDIT January 3, 2024:
All games have been claimed apart from two: Elden Ring and God of War. Considering it is the holiday and there may be some obligations, I'm extending the 24 hour window by another 24 hours. If the winners do not reply by Jan 4, 2024 ~ 9 AM ET, they will be forfeit and I will re-draw new winners.
EDIT January 2, 2024:
Giveaway Ended! All winners have been notified, but they have 24 hours to respond. If the winner does not respond, I will re-draw for the new winner the next day until all codes have been exhausted.
I will also be editing this post periodically to acknowledge who won and if they accepted.
I loved reading all these comments, and thanks for everyone responding here and also sharing an optional story! There's a lot of positivity and hope out there, which makes me also feel the same.
P.S. - I really wish I could afford more games to giveaway to you all, but we can certainly do something like this in the future and perhaps make some kind of collaborative giveaway.
Stay safe, and happy new year ahead!

God of War is coming to GOG
Enter the Norse realm His vengeance against the Gods of Olympus years behind him, Kratos
https://www.gog.com/en/game/god_of_war
Enter the Norse realm
His vengeance against the Gods of Olympus years behind him, Kratos now lives as a man in the realm of Norse Gods and monsters. It is in this harsh, unforgiving world that he must fight to survive… and teach his son to do the same.
Grasp a second chance
Kratos is a father again. As mentor and protector to Atreus, a son determined to earn his respect, he is forced to deal with and control the rage that has long defined him while out in a very dangerous world with his son.
Journey to a dark, elemental world of fearsome creatures
From the marble and columns of ornate Olympus to the gritty forests, mountains and caves of pre-Viking Norse lore, this is a distinctly new realm with its own pantheon of creatures, monsters and gods.
Engage in visceral, physical combat
With an over the shoulder camera that brings the player closer to the action than ever before, fights in God of War™ mirror the pantheon of Norse creatures Kratos will face: grand, gritty and grueling. A new main weapon and new abilities retain the defining spirit of the God of War series while presenting a vision of conflict that forges new ground in the genre.
