Maybe AI could solve it -- at least, that's what Scott Alexander has proposed back in 2014. His idea was that of an AGI that would optimize human life (or the universe itself, I guess) for human values instead of profit or other things that drive the whole Moloch problem he thoroughly describes. I imagine housing would also be solved along the way lol

I use Aves Libre, personally

I treat Deep Rock the same way I treat roguelies and arcade-style games -- I can just hop on when I'm in the "dwarf mood", play one or two missions and be done with it for the day. It's very good for short sessions like that. Also, you can play solo no problem -- you get a drone instead that can mine and shoot things.

Also, TF2 community servers FTW

Same here -- I've been doing exploration exclusively in Elite, and it got kinda samey and boring. Yet, somehow playing Elite was so mentally taxing, it quite often felt like having a second job. So, I decided to try out NMS, after hearing about its redemption so much.

The story of NMS was kinda neat, even though it was presented in a very dry way. The visuals were also not bad. Looking at planetary landscapes sometimes felt like stepping into the world of The Sand Sea and the Plateaux of Mirrors, which is a very good thing imo.

The actual gameplay just wasn't engaging enough, though, and super janky (making gas/mineral farms sucks). Like, it's very hard to find meaning in whatever you're doing in that game. In contrast, doing exploration in Outer Wilds was very fun, because it felt like you were exploring an actual living world. In NMS, you get the same prefab randomly generated building and a sliver of lore. No environmental storytelling, no anything. So, it's very difficult to connect to NMS's world.

I just want a Rendezvous with Rama movie tbh

wow

Average molecular biology moment

Nier Replicant ver. 1.22... It's awesome! Though the road to get all 5 endings is very arduous, even more so than in Automata

Every day we rot! Our flesh becomes more and more... broken. It degrades, Douglath! For flesh is only temporary, but the love of a dog is eternal.

Well, they are still here, just sometimes in a different form. For example, shmups are still a thing -- RagingBlasters is a prime example.

As far as platformers go, Shantae games are my overall favourites. Ever since debuting on GameBoy Color, I don't think they ever strayed too far from their roots. Another honorable mention from me would be Blaster Master Zero -- a remake of the original Blaster Master on NES.

Space duende balls lmao

Modern Japanese LN moment

I mean, we're talking about a simulated world, in which the reality itself is constantly glitching out. I think weird chemistry is on par with the rest of the NMS' weirdness

Is there a compatibility list and performance difference?

The closest thing I know is ProtonDB

I think PeerTube could possibly work for streamer VOD channels, since a lot of them probably keep them locally for archival/backup purposes, anyway. I've seen people mention thar PT uses BitTorrent for streaming videos to other users -- I think that could work for this particular purpose

Maybe the site has rate limiting to prevent scraping? I've never used mov-cli myself

I believe Redshift can change screen brightness depending on time of day. At least, it says so in the manpage

CalCurse is cool, if you're into CLI tools

This reminds me of Hack 'n' Slash, except it's less about programming and more about changing in-game objects on the fly
