I’ve always loved Mace Windu telling someone “your chances come in two sizes: slim and fat” in an old Star Wars Novell called Shatterpoint.

My favorite system message is GRUB’s “bailing out, you’re on your own. Good luck”

She really should be disbarred for that statement, since it shows that she is too separated from reality to effectively practice law

Because people in power need excuses to hit people they don’t like without having to pay weregild for it. That’s it, that’s the entire purpose of laws.

I have a lower-mid tier (Ryzen7 2700 or 2700x, I don’t exactly remember right now, Nvidia GTX 1650, 16gigs of RAM,) and I can game just fine at 1080p. Granted I’m not exactly worried about 4K or 666 FPS or whatever the hardcore gamers are into these days, but most games work well with proton and steam. Some even run better through proton than they do in Windows natively.
