Why wait? Get a Steam Deck now and have hundreds of thousands of games available to play.

You can do some wild shit with pipes:

• head -10 /var/log/syslog - Look at the first ten lines of one of your log files, with timestamps on the front
• cat /var/log/syslog | cut -d' ' -f1 - Splits the lines by a space delimiter (the -d' ' part), and grabs the first "field" (the one with the timestamp, using -f1)
• cat /var/log/syslog | cut -d' ' -f1 | cut -dT -f1 - Splits the timestamp at the "T", and leaves only the date
• cat /var/log/syslog | cut -d' ' -f1 | cut -dT -f1 | sort | uniq -c - Gives you a count of each date
• grep systemd /var/log/syslog | cut -d' ' -f1 | cut -dT -f1 | sort | uniq -c - For only the lines with 'systemd' on it, gives you a count of each date

The standard GNU toolkit has a ton of utilities like that for doing stuff with text files.

No, they'll still argue that whoever is the Democratic candidate is not perfect or not liberal enough, and stay home.

Or they'll vote for them in the presidential election, but not back them up during the even years with Congressional elections. Because, you know... a president ain't a king, which is the whole fucking point of the protest.

I've been using DDG for a bit, and honestly, it's kinda garbage. They are just borrowing data from Bing, and it shows.

Nothing is "an apocalypse" for anything.

JFC, people, stop pushing these extreme opinions on AI. It is not simultaneously the solution to everything and the end of the world. It's just a goddamn tool.

It's The Outer Worlds. It will.

The first game was shit. The game it was confused with became the greatest game ever made. Go buy that one instead.

It's almost as bad as the opposition's comparison of it to Skynet. People are never going to understand technology without applying some fucking nuance.

Stop hyping new technology... in either direction.

It was still a really good game by the time they stopped working on it, and one of the least greedy CCG I've ever seen. Hearthstone was already starting to lose players, and they had a shot at being a replacement, even if the mechanics of the game were rather different.

And then Marvel Rivals came out and the CCG landscape was just overpopulated.

Do the dance!

Kernel-level anti-cheat can go fuck itself.

Only the Sith believe in absolutes.

I agree, and I'm not trying to make it look like every page on Wikipedia isn't trying to be as impartial as possible. It's just that for certain issues, people can cheat their way out of impartially by magnifying or subduing the material they present.

I don't think it has anything to do with their physical media, and everything to do with their successful video games sales over the past few years.

Especially when Apple is the one who dictates what is "perfect".

Wikipedia doesn't have to list opinions. It just has to magnify certain ideas and opinions from other sources, under the guise of impartiality and "Objective Journalism".

“So much for Objective Journalism. Don’t bother to look for it here–not under any byline of mine; or anyone else I can think of. With the possible exception of things like box scores, race results, and stock market tabulations, there is no such thing as Objective Journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in terms.” ― Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72

Imagine playing Borderlands with a controller...

I asked ChatGPT and got a few wild ideas:

• Timefall Symphony - You play a deaf conductor in a future where time is tied to music. You must sneak through collapsing timelines by conducting symphonies that rewind or fast-forward reality. Meta Twist: The game's soundtrack is dynamically composed by the player’s performance and affects NPC memories.
• Agent Ø: The End of The Author - You play an AI agent in a post-literature world where all creative writing is outlawed. Your job is to assassinate remaining authors hiding in simulated story-worlds. Meta Twist: At a key moment, the game deletes its own script and asks you to write the ending — but the NPCs begin resisting your choices.
• Neon Genesis Logout - Set in a VR world where logging out is illegal, you're a rogue program trying to find the “Exit Protocol,” which is rumored to cause the death of your real-world body. Meta Twist: The game links with your real-world social media data and uses it against you as blackmail from in-game NPCs.
• Cognitive Espionage: Synapse Eater - You are a "Neuroleptic Diplomat" — an interdimensional agent hired to broker peace between collapsing timelines by entering sentient thought-constructs that have gained independence and now wage war against their original hosts. These constructs — known as Ideovores — eat ideas, replicate memories, and begin overwriting reality. Your mission: infiltrate mental realms that believe they are real, neutralize rogue ideas, and plant “cognitive malware” to reestablish consensus reality. At a critical point, the game begins reinterpreting your dialogue choices from hours ago as if they were implanted ideas — and characters confront you for "things you never said." The main antagonist turns out to be your own future self, who defected and now works for a rogue nation of self-aware conspiracies. Final boss: defeat your own consciousness before you come up with it — a battle in “Pre-Thought Space,” where thinking too hard makes the level collapse.

I mean, any of these are probably more coherent than a Kojima plot.

So, Joseph Cross, the main art director is a "former employee"?

It's not an artist that included her work. It's multiple artists, including the main art director. They followed her and large portions of the art design in the game are based on her work.

We're talking about software engineers, not plumbers.
