• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Addresses Steam Machine Anti-Cheat Concerns, Says It's Working Towards Support⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
  1. Covered on steam with game bans, which can be handed by server admins
  2. Would be nice to see ngl. Whats not humanly possible should result in a game ban.
  3. Covered on steam by VAC, automated system checking for cheat signatures in user memory space
  4. Hard to do and not realistically feasible for the majority of people, screen capture with per pixel analysis tools would still work but thats not that big of an issue
  5. VAC and game bans also ban you from community features including trading your inventory, afaik you phone number and all accounts associated with it are banned

  Imo, this test is flawed and doesn’t take display refresh rate into account. Well, at least flawed in the sense that you can’t compare it to other people because they may have measured it differently on different hardware. Its not universal.
  I’m at work right now and using this shitty screen at 60hz, I got 230ms. I upped the refresh rate as fast as it can go, to 75hz and improved my reaction time to 200ms.
  To get accurate results, you’d need to do this test at different stages of your life on the same hardware with the same software version of the test. So take it with some salt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t quest 3 sold at a loss? Selling similar hardware at no loss will present a challenge.
  Though, at the same time, there’s not much wrong with making low quantities of something and selling them at a profit, slowly.

  Price will make or break this thing. Rumors going around its gonna be around 1k which is a tall ask for the listed specs. 500, I’d buy it without any promise of any Valve backed VR game and I’m not even big on VR. For the rumored price, I’d need to see more commitment from Valve and latest news right now are saying they aren’t developing a VR title.

  Octopus didn’t memorize shit. They saw fish and went to get them. Security guard don’t give a fuck about the fish tanks, they were at the gate all night.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Assassin's Creed is a "forever brand" because Ubisoft supported huge risks with it, ex director says: "Whereas, say, EA, you get these awful execs and they never made games and they came from toothpaste companies"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont see it. Mario is a forever brand that is handled well. Sonic is a forever brand that is handled a little less well, but its hanging on. Ubisoft had a forever brand, possibility with rayman, but handled it like shit. Forever brand is a mascot and something that associates with the company. AC is an open world action game with little relatability between each title.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Last Truly Custom Nintendo: A 3DS Retrospective⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My favorite memory of the 3ds is probably from playing a link to the past. My worst memory was selling all the games I had for it… no idea why I did it considering the prices for them are insane now. Should have just kept them…
  I still own the XL version and am not letting it go. Still play fron tine to time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨one bright second⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The more you zoom out, the more you realize how insignificant we are. I’ve heard a lot of people realized this when they saw “The Pale Blue Dot” photograph of earth, but I had to have the perspective of time to realize it. We are nothing, not even a spit in the sea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it? What gives it away? Text on whiteboard looks suspicious, but it was probably added in post.
  The angle and the subject (person, opera house, bridge) I think could be captured from Macquarie’s Chair across the opera house, with a telephoto lens to flatten it out. But I’m not 100% on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grab your pitchforks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  When lunchtime approached at her usual morning time, Becca waited and waited, still and silent, till the sun set on the calm and foamy sea. She sat waiting in the golden hour sun, stomach churning, wondering why.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon shops for diamonds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds to me like they’ve made up their minds a long time ago and have proven their love for one another for over 30 years. I don’t think there exists a thing that could prove it better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS6 and next Xbox console are both aiming for 2027 release, separate reports claim | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Mine has seen some use… but its nowhere near what I was expecting when I bought it. I own it for the exclusives and while I did enjoy them (GT7, Ragnarok, Spider Man 2, Astro Bot, Death Stranding 2), I also think I could have done without them and waited for the eventual PC release. I hope Intergalactic (Naughty Dog) remedies my feeling towards the console, but so far, nothing it’s seen has been generation defining.
  Most probably skipping consoles after this gen.

  More power to them. I love it when I get to use a flame to cook, as long as the fuel is wood or charcoal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tabletop convection oven ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Energy usage is the only consideration for me. It hurts a little when I have to fire up the oven, knowing an air flyer could do it more efficiently. I do use an induction stove for everything else though and that shit is efficient.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tabletop convection oven ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s true. I own a frying pan and an oven.
  Health benefits don’t really concern me. I’m in no hurry to get anywhere so the time benefits do not apply to me. I never deep fry things. I think I’d sooner buy a rice cooker.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think I’ve pirated a game since 2008! Used to be if I didn’t like their price, I waited and bought on sale or used. Now that I play on PC and used games aren’t a thing anymore, I just don’t play it.

  There’s a sea of games out there and If I don’t like the practices of the publisher, I skip them. Why should I engage with their product if they don’t respect me as a customer or share my sensibilities? I’m not a hypocrite.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyone thinks the Deus Ex remaster looks awful and they're right: 'They really turned those 1999 graphics into 2003 graphics'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t say no to oblivion remaster treatment. Completely new models and environments in a new engine, while running the old game logic.
  Right now it really does look like they remastered it to in 2007 and are releasing it now.
  I think its more sad they’re doing a remaster and not putting more effort into it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI admits AI hallucinations are mathematically inevitable, not just engineering flaws⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t get why they’d be called hallucinations thought. What LM’s do is predict the next word(s). If it hasn’t trained on enough data sets, the prediction confidence will be low. Their whole output is a hallucination based on speculation. If they actually don’t know the next word order, they’ll start spewing nonsense though I guess that would only happen if they were forced to generate text indefinitely… at some point they’d cease making (human) sense.

  LMs aren’t smart, they don’t think, they’re not really AI.
