Eh so be it. We’ll just have to agree to disagree on both where that line stands and what it means to be in a specific generation tbh. Either way, I get your point and yes someone even just maybe 5 years younger might not know what this comic is even about.

Happy Turkeypocalypse.

Yeah that’s a pretty good marker, the shared trauma response had a serious effect. Gens Z and Alpha really just grew up in the new world created as the political response and I hope they don’t have to have a similar shared trauma like we did, though maybe COVID qualifies.

Isn’t it though? We mostly group people into generations because of the trends of the mentality of those people. Every time we talk “millennials do <this>” or “gen alpha is failing <this>” isn’t because of their age, it’s because of a shift of mentality.

I do get what you’re saying but that’s just not the full reality. But also “most sites” listing millennials as starting at 1981 doesn’t take into account that social media has basically changed that definition. Imagine that I considered myself Gen X for over 30 years and then I start getting called a millennial for the next 10, and that I do fit in better as millennial anyhow. Would you still fight that fight because of the original definitions? Generations of people have something of an ebb and flow to them, especially on the fringe years.

I had maintained that I was Gen X for the majority of my life, but it has become common to say 1980 is millennial as of about 10 years ago. And honestly, I don’t fit into the Gen X mentality anyhow.

I’m a 45 year old millennial, I knew what it meant. Maybe the youngest millennials won’t know?

A guy at work mistook “capybara” for “chupacabra” several months back and I’ve started emailing him “Chupacabra Facts”. Just used AI to create a newsletter about capybaras and did a find/replace. Best part was when he sent a screenshot to our Teams chat that it got quarantined by Microsoft for phishing somehow lol. There wasn’t even a link in it, just AI slop.

As long as we don’t all share the same restroom.

Omg, I love the twist lol.

And maybe the chicken later, but absolutely not the dolphin.

Lol sadly that’s the original image too. They definitely overcompressed things early on.

Equity.

Yeah, definitely not Larian, they’ve always been pretty open to players and other devs alike. And if they really do end up moving on, I cannot wait to see what they do next. Maybe a new Divinity game that’s as in-depth as BG3?

I’ve never heard that this started as a mod. Last I knew, even Witcher 1 was a licensed product even at the initial development. It’s been a couple years since I watched the CDProjekt documentary though.

But also by being not stupid

I also would never recommend Arch to a Linux newbie. I’ve used it for a couple years too as my DD and am very comfortable with it, and not looking to switch off it. But suggesting it to someone new is just asking for trouble. If they even get through the initial install within their first attempt and have it bootable, that’d be surprising. It’s very powerful and incredibly customizable, but that’s irrelevant if you’re just needing to learn the system.

Also Steam Deck being built on Arch is moot. You don’t install Steam OS yourself, it comes preinstalled so people can jump right on.

Can confirm though that Bazzite is a great system for someone new who wants to game as their primary purpose on their PC. Can be tricky if the immutable system causes you to not be able to do other things though.

Knowing a timer is almost ready to go off.

I have this stupid sense to know that any timers I set (for cooking mostly, but other tasks around the house too) are very close to going off. Without watching the time when I set them with Alexa, if I ask how much time is left, it generally is always < 10 sec left. If it happened somewhat often, that’d be over thing, but this happens like 80% of the time.

I’ve even had 12h timers (slow cooking, etc) where I’ve checked once the entire time and it was within 10 to 30 sec remaining.

Nothing to do with my time management skills though, because I’m still late to all events. Whoops.

Cool, thank you. What’s up with the bezel? Flimsy?

Yep I remember this too. Great comic but too recent of a repost.
