How to Enjoy Games Again

Jump

  • Factorio

    • Which YouTuber's voice can lull you to sleep?

    Jump

    • YouTube's ‘War’ on Adblockers Shows How Google Controls the Internet

    Jump

  • ublock origin works

    • At least uBlock Origin is always up-to-date now

    Jump

  • If the ads were added to the video stream (I assume this is what you're suggesting) they can be easily skipped by scrubbing the timeline. On the other hand, if they add metadata so the client can make them unskippable, the ad blockers will have something to work with. Classic catch 22.

    • Britain is ‘omni-surveillance’ society, watchdog warns

    Jump

  • Yup I reckon. Hunted surveillance is fake though

    • Been a while... guess the poop challenge and beans is a thing of the past?

    Jump

  • "Guess the poop" sounds like a weird challenge

    • Be careful, your understanding of incognito mode in Firefox may be wrong and that could be costing you

    Jump

  • Isn't it installed by default?

    • Be careful, your understanding of incognito mode in Firefox may be wrong and that could be costing you

    Jump

  • For Firefox users who don't know - try right clicking on the new tab button...

    • California suspends Cruise's autonomous vehicle deployment

    Jump

  • I didn't see this coming. Cruise has some really impressive tech.

    Regulators need to be really careful with how they enforce these rules. Knee jerk reaction to accidents isn't sustainable - these issues need to be found before the cars are on the roads.

    • Ex-PlayStation Boss Has A Warning For The Game Industry

    Jump

  • VR is dead in the water. It has always had serious flaws as a consumer product, but now the public opinion forming around the "metaverse" concept is the final nail in the coffin.

    I reckon Apple might be able to give AR a shot, but that won't have any effect on the gaming industry.

    Just my predictions as a nobody. I'm sure many will disagree...

    • The neverending discussion about pasta, olive oil and just putting enough water... 10g salt, 100g pasta, at least 1L water e basta così ! No oil or you ruin the pasta/sauce synergy. 😃

    Jump

  • Not the way I salt my water... Yuck

    • Tesla owners fuming as they get £17,000 bill to fix car after 'driving in rain'

    Jump

  • That Tesla's not broken, it's just pining for the fjords

    • France has banned pro-Palestinian protests and vowed to protect Jews from resurgent antisemitism

    Jump

  • "brians" is a top tier typo in this context... "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy"

    • Yes, I program in HTML

    Jump

    • Visual Studio Code is designed to fracture

    Jump

  • Same. I'm a loyal Jetbrains user, and I don't see that changing soon.

    • What is the most promising pathway to reach universal healthcare?

    Jump

  • Nah fuck that. Everyone benefits from universal human healthcare, but free vets overwhelmingly benefit wealthy and rural people.

    • Huzzah!

    Jump

  • Fetchez la vache!

    • The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion

    Jump

  • I played it through recently for the same reason.

    There are some tricks to deal with mines - e.g. the "double jammer" dance will almost entirely de-risk a lot of the craziest levels.

    It's the star puzzles I couldn't be bothered with...

    • AI in big budget games is inevitable, say dev vets from Assassin's Creed and Everquest 2: 'Developers hate it … the money is still going to drive absolutely everybody to do it'

    Jump

  • I think you're on the money, but I have to disagree with one point: AI will absolutely be able to match an existing art style, if not now then very soon.

    • A real bone to pick

    Jump
