  • Board meeting just adjourned. 90 minutes of public comment, then rapid fire approvals by the outgoing (elected out) majority 3 weeks before the new board is seated.

    The finance controller doesn't even know if the district can afford the severance because they weren't informed until this morning, while the Republicans on the board were notified last night and accepted the resignation without input from the minority.

    Outrageous in the most literal sense.

  • Woot has an HTC vive pro focus headset for $200 until Nov 30th or sellout. I don't know much about that particular unit, but it's inexpensive and be a known name.

    Don't buy the vive focus. Not a great unit.

    I have the HP reverb g2 I bought new for $329 and an happy with it. Deals can be found.

  • Democrats just booted a mom's for liberty majority off 3 hotly contested school boards in my area yesterday. I understand the sentiment, but elections can work. Moving only reinforces the facism because it concentrates the bad.

  • I just bought the only game I'll likely ever buy on EGS. It was Alan Wake 2. Being published by Epic, it will unlikely ever be anywhere else until EGS shuts down.

    My justifications are as follows: I love the developer and want to support them.

    That's it. The experience was.. fine, but far from streamlined. The Epic achievement system is terrible. Imagine walking around in a horror game, immersed in the atmosphere, then a loud cheery mobile app chime blaps through your headphones and a giant banner splatters across the top of your screen announcing your achievement totally jarring you out of the atmosphere.

    Then, imagine you find out you can turn on a 'do not disturb' mode by pressing shift+f3, then imagine you need to turn it on every time you launch the game. That's the Epic Games Store experience in a nutshell.
