I love the “Cartoon Department” sign. Every company should have that department

I wish there was a way to alter the fov or the focal length or whatever to a more typical setting so you can see how the room actually looks.

I used to think simultaneous launch was good and desired. Then the first Monster Hunter simultaneous launch happened this year and now I’m not so sure. A lot of it’s problems were forecasted by the state of Dragon’s Dogma 2 but not to such an extent, I can’t help but wonder if a delay would have helped.

It works amazingly. Might be handy to have a cheat sheet of the button combos though

So the reason why Linux players can’t play is because the anti-cheat hooks into the kernel of the OS. And the anti-cheat is made for the Windows kernel. It is entirely possible for them to make one that is compatible with Linux but they won’t. Besides, hooking into the kernel does not offer complete protection against cheats.

So hooking into the kernel is unwarranted given that the anti-cheat software is potentially able to transmit malware and observe everything on your computer since it has direct access to the kernel, even though cheating is still possible.

Even worse, there’s no worthy benefit for kernel anti-cheat. Linux players are being excluded for reasons that have no purpose for players.

Shit with the current 50 series pricing and availability, the 4090 I got myself for Christmas is looking responsible too. It doesn’t even need a 1000 watt PSU

I would caution against self hosting email long term. It’s fine for the educational value but there’s a lot of annoying obstacles you can encounter repeatedly even after everything is established.

If you use Firefox you’re already a part of an extreme minority.

It made dungeoning take less time. If it’s faster, it’s cheaper. Hazing endears the group to the new member. The inconvenience of hiking out to the dungeon after getting a group together, and reforming a group after someone left because the warlock couldn’t summon the tank in time to start the dungeon well before their dinner, was a shared trauma that helped the group cohese.

Old folks talk about how much better life was before tech. But it isn’t just old people. Survivors of war-torn towns and cities also come to look fondly upon their times of utter strife and starvation. The circumstances made every person much less disposable (or less cheap) and so people felt more valued. I remember a news story about someone finding graffiti in a city that was rebuilt after a war, the message translated as “Times were better, when they were worse.”

I got a razr because the zenphone got huge. What I didn’t expect to love are the big bezels on the internal screen (to allow it to close) they stop the fleshy bottom of my thumb from touching the screen, an issue I’ve had with previous phones.

If you like Dwarf Fortress’s adventure mode, and don’t mind a swap to a high sci fi setting: please give this game a shot, it’s the cheapest price it has had so far

The UI is definitely easier to navigate. But the game is still about timing wars and angling to get heirs on thrones, and the game still does not do a great job of shouting out nearby wars.

And rulers get free navies now so Ireland is actually kind of dangerous. I recommend new players start in modern Norway

I’ll have to whip out the color picker to know Australia’s rating for Tenerife

And for me it’s not even a principled issue. I just hate using their store. I’m not saying they need parity with the weird social media aspects of Steam (though I have come around to dropping comments on friends’ achievement notifications on the library page). But let me see reviews and let me refund and some other basic stuff I’m forgetting.

Yeah it doesn’t really stand out.

Could you imagine if that were true? Waggle to move toward the nearest enemy, swish to retreat. After all the enemies are dead waggle to move toward left exit, swish to move to right exit.

So phisticated

Don’t forget that each of their checkout lanes say “1 item or fewer”

Apparently they have a cart now

Yeah I was surprised at how completely playable Moonlight was at a friend’s house, we live an hour apart on the interstate and we both have coax Internet with its anemic upload speeds. I was playing Tears of the Kingdom without issue. I don’t even bring my desktop for LAN parties anymore I just stream my game
