🧵Part 1 A much needed GPU upgrade for my Dell optiplex gx260 has been a long time coming. The Intel chip is garbage, bad even for 90s games. Even GPUz has trouble with it. Most cards won't fit. Also I had no low profile brackets. But I'm gon solve both issues soon.

New Fact Hunt Time... How Monster Energy KILLED a Ubisoft Franchise. (Link in first comment)

There's this PS2 game called metal saga in which you get to choose at the start whether or not you're going to stay safely at home and be a mechanic or go out there and become a hunter. If you choose to be a mechanic, the game roasts you🤣

@FaerunSiren I tried it, it was confusing, and I hated it. Tried guides, online explanations etc. but I could never figure it out.

Do you love Blitzball

Why play FIFA when you could be playing Blitzball? 🎮: Final Fantaxy X

@TheMekon_Venus Is this from a toy or somthing. The cockpit is too large.

Can we all agree Thunderbird 2 was the best Thunderbird?

It's 2:53AM here, I can't sleep, so I decided to try out this untested Nvidia Geforce 7900GS. Installing Windows XP rn......

@Grummz Perhaps it's a good time to admit that I was never able to finish subnautica. This looks even worse.

New Indie Game Open Waters just dropped their trailer. Wait till after the title screen...

@HustleBitch_ BAM, you'll neve hear of this again.

🚨 STUDENT CLAIMS SHE “SOLVED SCHIZOPHRENIA” DURING A RESEARCH PAPER — AND PEOPLE THINK SHE MAY HAVE JUST ACCIDENTALLY EXPOSED A MASSIVE COVER-UP A woman is going viral after posting a breakdown claiming modern psychiatry may be focusing on the WRONG part of the brain when it comes to schizophrenia. And the deeper she goes into her theory… the more intense the video gets. According to her: “It’s the f*cking thalamus… and the thalamus is being neglected.” She claims schizophrenia may not primarily be a dopamine disorder at all… but instead a failure in the brain’s sensory filtering system. Her theory centers around the thalamus, the part of the brain responsible for processing and relaying incoming information. And according to her, when that system becomes “leaky,” the brain starts trying to fill in missing information itself… creating hallucinations, paranoia, sensory overload, and distorted reality. “Your brain will always try to make sense of something… so if it’s missing information, it’s just gonna make up its own.” The video goes even further into claims that: • schizophrenia may be tied to glucose dysregulation in the brain • hallucinations are caused by a “leaky” thalamus failing to filter information properly • antipsychotic drugs only mask symptoms instead of fixing the root problem • low-carb diets could increase risks for dementia and Alzheimer’s • ADHD may also be connected to the same “leaky filter” mechanism • the brain creates hallucinations when it tries to fill in missing sensory information • current psychiatric research may be focusing on the wrong brain regions entirely But the moment hitting the hardest? When she said: “Maybe Big Pharma doesn’t want to fund it… because sick people make more money than healthy people.” Did this student accidentally expose a crack in the entire psychiatric industry… and is that why nobody wants to talk about the thalamus? 📹: TikTok/lilithmaraofficial

@ColonelFalcon I had completely forgotten about this game

@Andercot You mean to tell me that people didn't want to buy an overpriced piece of hardware that needs it's own account?

The absolute non-takeoff of VR and AR is probably one of the big upsets in consumer electronics history Pretty much everyone thought this would be huge and it sort of just isn't

@oldyzach KABLEWEE! KAHPOW! I'm coming to put a hole in that bow!

@oldyzach It is a very special game to me.

Just because I’m a huge fan of SimCity 4 doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy going back to the earlier games in the series. A bit of casual city-building before bed in SimCity 3000 Unlimited. Good night, folks!

This is Harry, and he's always dressed in a tuxedo.

@TheMekon_Venus Yes. Absolutely

It’s a movie not meant for me.. and one I’ll probably never watch. But can we all agree this looks wrong.
