The article literally starts out saying that volcano is no danger to people.

Valve literally hosts petabytes of game data and allows any user to download them at any time. That's not nothing, data storage is very expensive, and users are charged nothing for it. They provide a service to not only the customers, but also the developers. Steam has so many backend features that allow devs to skip so many networking steps that can otherwise be a huge nightmare. Not sure why you think they are literally just a webpage that has a purchase button next to a game.

It ran terribly for me on my 5800x but after upgrading to a 9800x3d it's running perfectly, has maybe crashed once in 50 hours with maybe like 3 or 4 bugs that whole time. Not sure how performance is on lower end cpus/systems right now though. I will say, whenever you do get it you won't be disappointed! It's an amazing game so far.

I had all of that. Ran into intermittent random crashes about a year ago. After a year of not being able to find a cause I found a thread of other 5800x users running into the same problem. (For the record this was with a high quality PSU, a very very light overclock, and temps were fine throughout that time. Also while I'm not a true IT professional I do know my way around a computer, and the most in depth error logs I could find, which there were very few of, pointed to really low level calculation errors.)

After finally giving up and just buying a 9800x3d I gave the system to my friend for a huge discount, but after reinstalling everything the CPU never booted again.

While what you say is generally true, it is also sometimes the case that some parts are just slightly defective, and those defects might show with age. It's the first CPU I've ever had that died on me (other than a 9800x3d but that was an MSI mobo that killed it,) so I don't really hold it against them. And I'm very happy with the 9800x3d. Its amazing the difference it's made in games.

Wish my 5800x had lasted :( It seems to have died after only 4 years.

While I get what you're saying, if this wasn't directly established when the roommate moved in it is completely unreasonable to say they can't have someone over for a few hours in a shared living space.

Whoops! I read March 2025, my bad

I live in WA state and saw multiple cyber trucks back in December iirc.

I know the trump admin probably has pretty poor reading comprehension, but that isn't what he said at all. He said it would kickstart the revolution, not that it is the only thing that would.

Valve is allegedly working on a new headset to compete in the wireless VR space. I'm betting that'll be worth it once it releases.

Holy shit, that seems like a huge leap for her! That's awesome!

I live in literally one of the most blue states there is. I know of 1 person who voted for Trump. And if a cup that is only 30% full is considered "overflowing" where you live I would love to move there and open up a bar. I'm sure I'd make a killing.
