  Wing Commander 1-4, space epics of my childhood.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Expedition 33 Dev Confirms $50 Price Is Correct, '30+ Hours of Main Game'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Moderate Inflation (around the 2% target) is necessary for the current economical system to function. It incentivizes people to either invest or spend their money instead of sitting on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nobel Prize 2024⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What we call AI today is also not going to evolve into an actual AI.

  You can call the field of research what you want, but the current products are not AI. Do you also call potatoes vodka?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nobel Prize 2024⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s start by not calling it AI anymore. Cause it isn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Life imitates art?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are four lights!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It does not. You can download and backup all your GOG installers, making the games functionally equal to games you purchased on CD ROMs back in the day. They can revoke your license all they want, they wouldn’t be able to keep you from using the software you acquired this way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok boomer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We don’t have Wal-Mart stores. They famously couldn’t cope with our labor laws and couldn’t compete with local retailers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bloodlines 2 is more "spiritual successor" than sequel to a "a competently good game by 2004 standards", say Paradox⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “I actually played Bloodlines 1 quite recently, and it is a good game, but it is also an old game, and there are many things that would not fly today,”

  No new Heather. I guarantee it. Also, there will be a shitstorm about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨63% of Gen Z Would Rather Play Video Games Than Watch a Movie⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Only 63%?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Burning Up⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  On the other hand, if it was 107°C outside, the outrage would be so much more justified.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are differences of course. Still, Steam’s policy, which is often internationally praised as consumer friendly, is very restrictive from a European perspective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can get faulty physical goods fixed/refunded by the store up to 2 years after purchase (EU). It’s the store’s problem to get a refund from the manufacturer. The same should be true in case of Valve and a publisher.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wish there were more like him in the industry⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, they had no other choice than to come up with their own story in this case. Still, it went downhill hard once there were no more books to cling to. Either their writers or the people directing them weren’t up to the task.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I grew up in the era of Photoshop and people would post fake nudes. Why is it now a big deal that AI is doing it? Kinda like the Taylor Swift thing on twitter.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Look at Germany for example. Lots of FKK (nude) areas. No one really bats an eye.

  We still don’t appreciate our nudes posted online, fake or not.
