  • True. Risk of Rain Returns is amazing. But back when they announced ROR2 and that it would be a 3D environment I was like "how the heck is that going to work?" but they pulled it off. Clocked over 200 hours in that one (so far - haven't even tried the DLC yet)

  • For those thinking of going back to reddit. Gaze upon this comment section and reconsider.
  • Anyway, I believe what you’re describing was coined as “eternal summer” many many years ago.

    The same phenomenon was coined on Usenet many years before 4chan.

  • Haier, the air conditioner maker, takes down open source third-party Home Assistant integration
  • A garage door opener is simply a machine so a shorter name could be "rage against the machine."

    Wait...

  • Haier, the air conditioner maker, takes down open source third-party Home Assistant integration
  • Not to excuse this sort of behaviour, but at least they're honest enough to say it's about the money, instead of hiding behind excuses like "bUt sEcuRiTy vUlNeRaBiLiTieS".

    We need laws to prevent this kind of anti-consumer bullshit (yeah I know, a pipe dream) and for people to simply not give Haier their money, or data.

  • Here are the winners for the steam awards 2023
  • Essentially. That category must have been a troll by the steam community.

    Even today Skyrim is a better game than Starfield. It's the same formula Bethesda have been doing for 20 years now but they somehow managed to make the world feel more artificial and lifeless. And So. Many. Loading screens. 😔

    Nothing against the core Bethesda formula - I still enjoy the whole "explore, run into shit, and spend the next 30 hours on side quests" - but they really need to focus on making a more rich and engaging experience.

  • Here are the winners for the steam awards 2023
  • Some of these category winners are starting to make less and less sense each year. Red Dead 2 for Labor of Love? wtf?

    I voted for Risk of Rain Returns for best on Steam Deck. Been playing it on the ROG Ally and it's a damn near perfect handheld game.

  • Water Containing Radioactive Materials Spills Over at Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant Due to Earthquakes
  • maintaining nuclear power plants with the highest appropriate levels of safety.

    There's your problem right there.

    Nuclear power generation can probably be safe, in theory.

    Nuclear power generation in our current late-stage capitalism where corporations, and even governments, will cut corners for the sake of profit and politics, is not.

    It's a cool technology, but I personally don't trust the world with it right now.

  • it's the steam winter sales, what game did you enjoy playing and want to share?
  • Anyone who's waiting on BG3 to be cheaper or GOTY edition or whatever, try Divinity: Original Sin 2. It's amazing, and the definitive edition is only $13.50 USD right now. No need to have played the first one - I never did and D:OS2 is probably one of my favourite games of all time now.

  • Microsoft Hires Sam Altman Hours After OpenAI Rejects His Return
  • Even Xbox is loosing to Sony and Nintendo despite being a decent product.

    Xbox and Windows are both by Microsoft but they can't even get that right.

    I got a free trial for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate that I've been using to play Starfield and a handful of other games on PC. But half the time I go to play it I either get a license error, which usually needs a full PC restart and signing in and out a few times to fix, or it constantly has to sync with the cloud. I can save my game, close it, not even switch off or restart my PC or even close the Xbox app, and later on when I go to play again it has to slowly synchronise my cloud save again. Why?! And if I want to make sure my save can be used on another device, I have to keep the app open for at least 10-15 mins after exiting the game so that the save can sloooowly upload to the cloud. I can upload things to YouTube, Google Drive, etc at 15+ Mbps but Xbox gaming services chugs along at 0.5 Mbps max. It's infuriating.

    Honestly, game pass is a pretty good value proposition (lack of game ownership aside), but with the issues I've been having I won't be keeping it after my free time expires. If Steam has been able to handle license verification and cloud saves for years without problems, why can't Microsoft get this shit right? /rant

    Sorry, I really needed to vent about this.

  • The US is normalizing the cruelest mass killing method to stop bird flu
  • This is why the core of the issue that nobody ever talks about is human overpopulation. The demented levels of factory farming we have is only a thing because 8 billion people need to be fed.

  • The US is normalizing the cruelest mass killing method to stop bird flu
  • Or... and this is crazy... not cram thousands of them together in such a tiny area. Then disease wouldn't spread so rapidly.

  • It's happening across a lot of industries, especially tech. During covid line went up very fast. Post-covid line stopped going up fast, but companies are desperate to keep it going up fast. Otherwise it would count as a slowdown in year-on-year growth and we can never ever have that (/s).

  • The employees secretly using AI at work
  • The article: “I asked a really technical question from my PhD thesis, and it provided an answer that no one would be able to find without consulting people with very specific expertise."

    Me waiting for the part where the AI hallucinated and he got an F on his thesis:

    I mean, it might have worked out, but you have to be very careful when asking LLMs for factual information. I've tried it at my work and it gave me info that contradicted that from experts.
