There was definitely a point in my life that I saw weed users the same as heroin, etc.

I’ve never used either, but thankfully my views have changed anyway. It does show how much harm it causes when your informative spiels get one thing wrong.

I am a little curious how something like Ubuntu would do on one of these gaming handhelds. Steam OS is a nicer user experience but I always wonder if it also adds any significant optimization.

Downside: It’s not gluten-free.

Wait, that’s online?

One of the biggest ones in mystery is “Why didn’t X simply Y”

They can literally just be stupid. Or ego driven. Etc.

There’s a great series of mystery games where the final villain even admits this exactly. He found evidence of a murder plot against the sister of his dead girlfriend, and instead of reporting it or detaining those involved, he let it almost happen. It was literally all so he could feel like a hero saving them at the last second, and he says as much directly.

Conservatives are inundated about trans people on their news. So, they think everyone is trans.

If they ever understood how much of their fucking attention is wasted there on such a tiny percent of the population, they’d likely accept every single trans bill just to get back to real issues.

Many of the countries in question don't have a military presence that could dwarf the others, nor an army that would willingly fight larger enemies for those morals.

Obviously, I'm not including America in that statement.

I want to appreciate the additions, but...this is also not a good way of doing it.

The difficulty is often the point in Soulslikes, but quite often it feels like these games are hard in 17 different ways, and a player may only have trouble with 1 of them.

Maybe that's navigation, and finding the next path forward. Maybe that's working out how to put together a functioning build, and realizing what each weapon does. Maybe it's that the parry window is just a few frames too tight because they're playing with an input delay.

That's why the games I've liked have varied accessibility options to let you change just one thing, like getting your souls back on dying, slowing down the game, slightly decreasing damage values - or increasing them on both sides.

Back 4 Blood was the game that served as the idea for this post.

I recently felt like picking up some cheap copies of it to play with a few friends, and decided to launch it once ahead of time just to test it out and see how it ran. I picked "Online" mode out of habit, feeling it would likely search for a bit before handing me 3 bots to play singleplayer. Instead, I actually got a decent group of people together several days in a row.

In B4B's case, while the developers visibly "abandoned" the game in news headlines, the form it exists in is very playable and generally bug-free, even if its ultra-highest-difficulty "endgame" allegedly lacks some refinement. It got a lot of outlash for not matching the playstyle of Left 4 Dead; having players use a deep system of roguelike-style upgrades. Since the enemies escalate in difficulty, those upgrades are often necessary and can connect with team strategy. It's now on PS+, and since it's crossplay, Steam players will get a lot of queue buddies. It's also playable with just 2 people since the other 2 characters will just be bots.

I’ve done a little bit of okay cleaning with a toothpick, then much better cleaning from the repair shop.

From how it sounds, especially with the actor's permission, this seems like my preferred way of using AI-generated voices.

I'd really want to make sure any legal language around actor AI permissions is built to avoid coaxing though - like including it as an "industry standard" clause for infinite use when recording a single audition. Ideally, the voice would always "belong to" the actor it came from, and would only be licensed on specific uses, like "This NPC within this game mode, available for 8 weeks in summer of 2025". No idea if that's what they did here.

Much as Bernie will definitely continue to be the face of the movement, I have doubts he has many years left for politics. We're in need of new faces for that same initiative.

I'm confident AOC could raise an impressive amount of campaigning money as a single senator. But, impressive enough to account for an entire party, taking seats in thousands of positions across hundreds of local districts? Much as I'd like it, I don't see how it can happen.

I'd also like it if campaign money wasn't necessary, but 99% of America doesn't actively follow politics; it's needed to bring it to their doorstep. We've been covering the gap in things like Elon Musk's campaign funds via a lot of volunteer work, but that can only go so far.

What really sucks is how many times this conversation has started, only for the trans person to (very logically and understandably) react internally with “Ohhh boy, here we go, another one of these backwards bigots. I’m just going to yell to make myself feel better.”

Then the ignorant individual feels attacked, gets defensive, and feels satisfied in their belief that trans people are hysterical or something.

I don’t even blame anyone so much for that. Being patient with every single transphobe just in case they’re a reasonable person takes far more energy than I have.

I feel like, with some work, NFTs could be used for decentralized ownership of digital content licenses? But, I sincerely doubt any such companies would care to set that up.

While I know most people would just prefer everything go DRM-free, I’ll admit I became interested in the practice when I learned town libraries can stock AAA console video games, but would have a hard time stocking indie/AA games that have only had digital releases - even if the game’s creator is a hipster that loves libraries, the only simple approach there is to give away infinite free copies of the game.

I mean, given the fact that this affected Joe Biden up until this announcement, and no medical examiner announced it previously, it does seem plausible.

As a reminder, the claim that Hamas built a command center under Shifa Hospital comes solely from the IDF. They have rejected offers to have an international delegation of journalists freely roam the area to verify the claim.

Could we consider this to be a dilemma of preservation?

Let’s take something innocuous and specific, like a package of food. We want it to be airtight and safe from bacteria until a human tears it open and eats it. But once torn open, we want it to disintegrate.

Now, if we make this bacteria and allow it to spread, the same problem exists as if we were to package that food in a wooden container, or a paper container. The material is now “weak” to ambient attackers.

“Wrong direction” sums up my anger towards everything FromSoft.

Two Soulslike games I really enjoyed though, are Tunic, and Another Crab’s Treasure. Both are generally pretty rewarding of exploration, but also tightly guide you at the beginning. I honestly just don’t feel like FromSoft is very fair when it comes to early exploration. One path utterly destroys you and has no reward at the end.
