I mean, a rainbow Gadsden flag makes some kind of sense if you forget all the recent associations. At face value it could be as simple as saying that you don't want the government to tread on your rights as an LGBTQ citizen. If you go one layer deeper and look at it as a symbol of the fight for freedom during the American revolution, it still works - Freedom for LGBTQ people to be who they are.

As a former Reverb G2 v2 owner (who recently sold his setup at fire sale prices because of this sunsetting by MS) I am very disappointed by this move. Why brick a bunch of perfectly functional devices and create a massive amount of e-waste in the process?

Why not just freeze WMR in place, stop feature development, but keep the functionality around? I can't imagine bug fixing and driver updates cost Microsoft any substantial amount of resources, given how they pretty much dropped doing any of that after 2022.

It makes no sense to me and feels like management wanting to make a statement, more than a reasonable business decision. Especially since this move directly conflicts their stated sustainability goals and directives.

It's almost like the company is trying really hard to wash their hands clean of the HoloLens exec they fired for misconduct a while ago in the most scorched earth way possible or something.

Frustrating to see MS add VR support to their own titles while simultaneously killing WMR and all associated devices. Sure, VR in MFS24 sounds great, but it's a bit of a slap in the face for the people whose WMR devices will turn into e-waste later this year.

This sounds amazing. I wonder what it's like to play and how "done" the mod is. If this plays anything like a ground-up VR effort would I am going to be all over this.

This is one of the few sequels I'm genuinely excited for. Constantine was such a good movie.

Probably the most relatable Garfield cartoon ever as a cat owner.

I'm sorry to hear that. And yes, it's depressing to see these "privitization will save us all" types destroy public services using the same old playbook of "defund, defund, defund, point out the issues after decades of defunding, then start to slow-roll private options until the public service has been fully hollowed out" everywhere.

This might be a bit sensitive of a question to ask, but what country are you in? Because I've lived in several western European countries and the access to healthcare wildly varies between them. Especially countries that've "enjoyed" a multitude of conservative/right wing governments over the past three decades seem to have really embraced enshittifying healthcare access and affordability while pushing an American-style private system as the "solution".

How is this so accurate?

We never thought about it, but of our three cats, the girls are named after a goddess and an empress, while the boy cat is named after a Starbucks menu item.

Thanks for sharing these gems. I can almost feel the exasperation in some of the emails and their replies.

Still trying to get through Animal Well. The cat disc keeps tripping me up as I need to make it to the final flame with the fake disc.

Also picked up Tears of the Kingdom again, trying to complete all the shrines.

It's not classic rock, but Black no.1 (little miss scare all) by Type O Negative would be a decent fit too
