Nice! Two new communities for me! Thanks!

I'm excited but I'm waiting for reviews first. I have a steam deck so I'm really just looking for some screen comparisons. I miss the haptics when remote playing the PS5 on the deck

yeah, there's nothing to argue here. These are scientific definitions of the two terms. A positive feedback loop can be negative in terms of consequences, but it doesn't change the fact that the loop is defined as a positive feedback loop.

The words "positive" or "negative" in terms of the loop definition do not refer to "good" or "bad", but rather the mathematical definitions of "additive/multiplicative" or "subtractive/divisive". A positive feedback loop is an additive or multiplicative function whereby inputs increase outputs which increase inputs which increase outputs.

A classic example is a snowball rolling down a hill that grows in size and gains speed. Whether or not the snowball grows big enough and rolls fast enough to annihilate the school at the bottom of the hill, it doesn't change the fact that by definition the feedback loop that is generating a larger and larger and faster and faster snowball is defined as positive.

An example of a negative feedback loop could be you getting sick. The input being viral or bacterial particles enter your body, the output is your body temperature increases, which kills the pathogens thereby decreasing the input. The decrease in pathogens then signals to your body that the infection is receding, and you body temperature returns to normal (decreased output). You healing from a sickness is a positive (good) thing, but the feedback loop that did it, is a negative one.

I agree completely but just so you know, it's a positive feedback loop even if the outcome is negative.

A positive feedback loop is one where the input creates an output that then increases the input further, which in turn further increases the output.

A negative feedback loop is one where the input creates an output that then lessens the input, which in turn decreases the output.

Shrinking middle class begets ignorance. Political forces capitalize on ignorance to misinform and manipulate the masses to elect people and enact policies that are not in their best interest. Doing so further erodes the middle class and decreases education, begetting further ignorance, misinformation, and political extremism. Positive feedback loop.

(Sorry if this was pedantic but it reminded me of a very specific learning moment I had with an old science teacher of mine about this exact distinction)

We already experience this on earth to a degree. The moon causes the tides and shore dwelling ocean creatures have to contend with surviving during the high and low tidal periods. Not really weather per se, but it's something.

No Kit Kat? I guess a 100 Grand then

Matrix

Unrelated but your account is labeled as a bot account for me. Might want to check your settings.

God of War Ragnarok about 6 hours in. And just started Returnal to play as my multiplayer game with a buddy online. Got to the first boss just myself and almost beat it. Love the vibe overall. I'll also probably start Spiderman 2 this week

Oh, for sure! You should start one!

Nice! The low abxy is tricky. Personally I don't use mine much, but it's such a unique design that when they were discontinuing it I had to pick one up.

Hi! I'm the lead mod over on !playstation@lemmy.world

I don't have any issues with users posting lfg posts so long as personal identifying information is not publicly shared. Gamertag and screen names publicly shouldn't be an issue I don't think.

Of course, if you are looking for mainly PC gaming or a different console then this won't help you much. We have a weekly, "what are you playing" pinned thread. Could be good to hop in there and see what others are playing and strike up a conversation and see if others are willing to team up.

On mobile Firefox I use the Web Archives extension to auto open the current webpage in archive.is.

You can try and find an old steam controller maybe? I have one when they went on sale for dirt cheap before they discontinued manufacturing. The trackpads do have feedback like the deck but not not as good (it was the precursor after all)

It's either dead or there's no need to update it because there isn't real competition in that space. I'm just wondering what they are going to do with this new mobile chip platform once the switch 2 is released. I doubt they only ever use it in the switch 2. I'm guessing they would want to release it (or a version of it) in some other hardware.

Hopefully after developing the switch 2 chip we see them work on updating their Shield line of Android TV boxes.

Preordered this one late last night and made sure my switch was all updated this morning. I haven't played a switch game in a little bit as I've been tackling other games in the backlog. Good or not, if it's a 2D Mario I buy it because my wife adores them. Luckily for me, I've never played a bad one lol. Between this and Spider-man tomorrow...I'm probably going to be playing this one tbh.

I think I got the remastered version for free on PSN so I'll probably play it first. Thanks!

Should I just watch this and play 2 or should I definitely play the first one?
