If you liked the story driven elements of TW3 you might like Cyberpunk 2077. Its very similar story and eigime wise since they’re both made by CDPR, but obviously very different thematically. God of War is another story driven narrative driven game I enjoyed.

I don’t think it will be that fast but yes I think there will be no other outcome.

Yeah but sometimes the only producers are QAMEQHEJAK and you can’t even find what real brand sells your thing. Or sometimes they don’t do direct sales.

That’s kind of my point though. For being made specifically for the purpose of being machine readable, its kind of a pain in the ass to work with.
I want a command line utility where I can just
xmlquery --query 'some/query' --file foo.xml --output foo-out.xml
or in python
import xml with open("foo.xml", "r") as file: data = xml.load(file.read())
That’s the amount of effort I want to put into parsing a data storage format.
- Comment on Evil 3 days ago:
Meh. I just wish XML was easier to parse. I have to shuttle a lot of XML data back and forth. As far as I can tell, the only way to query the data is to download a whole engine to run a special query language, and that doesn’t really integrate into any of my workflows. JSON retains the hierarchy and is trivially parsed in almost any programming language. I bet a JSON file containing the exact same data would be much smaller also, since you don’t list each tag twice.

Or they wanted to play off that kneejerk reaction to get you engaged. Siri studied under Triss, Yen, and Avala’ch and knows actual magic. They could just be the more powerful actual versions of what witchers try and emulate.

Ugh. They’re really ruining that series.
- Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords? 1 week ago:
I think it depends. If your mortgage payment is $1000 and you’re renting the space for $500 then you and your tenant are both sharing the financial burden, and I don’t really see it as parasitism like lots of other people.
If you’re renting for $1,200 then yeah everyone is going to hate you, no matter how few tenants you have. Even more so if that’s your only source of income.

- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 1 week ago:
What a weird thing to say. Do you know what they mean? Because it sounds like you don’t.
prosecute: To initiate or conduct a criminal case against.
convict: To find or prove (someone) guilty of an offense or crime, especially by the verdict of a court.
Human laws are not like… immutable laws of nature. Only a jury can decide if he’s guilty or not, and they can just… say he isn’t.

This is a pretty fucked up opinion

Don’t call them that. They’re just assholes with too much money.
I call them the billionaire class. It has the added bonus that it makes it painfully obvious to suburbanites that they aren’t part of the club.

Prosecuted? Yes. Convicted? No.

- Comment on How to get over my reddit ""addiction""? 2 weeks ago:
I was in a similar position to you. I had 500k karma iirc and I was legit addicted.
Delete your account. That’s what I did. It was unthinkable and honestly kind of painful but looking back I’m so glad that I did. Rip the bandaid off and you’ll never really have a reason to go back.
Find a Lemmy app that you like (or mbin or kbin, they all serve the same content (kinda)) and just use that.
Lemmy has far less content so when you run out of things to look at, realize that that is the addiction and try to do anything else.
When commenting, try and remember that you’re (probably) responding to a real human and don’t be an asshole. Admittedly I’m not always great about this but have made a lot of progress in the right direction.
Try not to get involved in the inter-instance drama. It isn’t worth your time.
Its a process. You’re going to find what works for you. You’ll probably fail a bunch too but life is about getting back up when you fail so just keep at it and you can make meaningful change if you want to.

Yes, this is an excellent video! Thanks for finding this, I couldn’t remember which video I saw this in when I was typing my reply.
If this is something that interests anyone reading this thread, PBS Space Time has a number of excellent videos on the topic of black holes and their theoretical alternatives.

You know I got super high a few weeks ago and imagined something similar to this so I’m pretty sure they’re on to something here.
- Comment on After the new Kurzgesagt video about black holes... 2 weeks ago:
Its just a part in the equation where you’re dividing by zero, that’s all. It means our theories are incomplete.
The gravastar theory is notable (IMO) because it does away with the singularity. Although, it seems like this theory is borderline unfalsifiable, since anyway you could detect a gravastar would also be insistinguishable from a black hole.
Personally, I am of the (completely unsubstantiated) opinion that black holes create universes (somehow) because it is a simple, succinct answer to many questions. So, any theory that takes that seriously would be worth further research, imo. But until there is some kind of observational evidence, I think this is just relegated to the realm of “that’s a neat thing that math can do”.
