- Comment on What game has the best tutorial, in your opinion? 2 days ago:
cyberpunk was nice. It had both an optional that really specifically laid things out and then in addition the first gig more casually does it. I seem to recall harry potter being so integrated that I can't remember it. I find a lot of games just sorta give popups that you can say stop to and then it basically just starts simple so you can learn the stuff without it seeming much like a tutorial. skyrim is sorta annoying in that its unskippable and you can't do a save before locking in a race that is after it like you could with oblivioun. So they went a bit backwards. Elden rings was completely skippable but it was also just pants. The tutorial is crazy easy compared to most games and does not prepare you at all for the brutal real game. Baldurs gate was unskippable but its pretty fast and did not really feel aweful to redo as its much like any quest in the game.

how much was it? I know its to late but I play it on a steamdeck. Getting it was sorta a lark but its one of those rare purchases were overall I am happy I got it long term (I rarely really like something.) The offical dock is pants though.

Yeah this is where the reporting was like wtf! Even the local read it like that.

- Comment on Is a parent expressing regret of giving birth to a child directly to that child a normal thing that parents do? 5 days ago:
Yes in a stressfull enough setting in a person suffering from mental health challenges themselves. Which is almost everyone at some point in their lives. It is its own call for help. Adults can be depressed and find life devoid of meaning or the meaning they cling to is failing them.
- Comment on I hate Samsung and their dumb software design choices, and this is one of them. Why do I need a SIM card to enable a hotspot whereas every other phone works without one? 5 days ago:
Yeah but he said wifi extender.

I find it hard to believe all your other phones could do this as it required dual antennas.

I had not done skyrim before but already im thinking I will do a future run (if I ever finish this one) with them.

I should check back on it but im sorta getting into doing skyrim now.

Its said its better to give than recieve but for many folks its easier to give than to recieve. Accepting and appreciating something given in good faith is a good thing to cultivate in oneself. Unfortunately we tend to have a culture of mandatory gift giving and reciprocating that tends to result in a lot of junk being created. Its good to have something that is wanted and will be useful. Now if his friend holds it over him in some way then it will ruin the friendship but thats sorta fine as likely it was not a good one anyway, but lets hope that is not the case.

This is something each person needs to decide for themselves. Oftentimes people run out of options. Many black folk just wanted to live quiet lives but they knew that was just not going to be. Its why it was such a big thing that emmitt tills mom had an open casket. Its so people could not lie to themselves about what is happening and will continue to happen without change. Similarly smartphones have made issues with police violence undeniable.
- Comment on Day 306 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing 3 weeks ago:
Was playing this but my steamdeck is bugging out when going outside in the plain of oblivion after talking to the guy in the round cage. switched to skyrim. the more I play these the more morrowind was like peak elder scrolls for me. I wish they had been smarter with the simplification to not lose the rp aspects as much. I want the temple and mages guild teleports as well as the city conveyances but I could see being able to access them from anywhere once unlocked.

I would think but I don't have much experience with that.
- Comment on My password is not accepted because it is too long 4 weeks ago:
oh. this has been a big pet peeve of mine for awhile. After starting to use password managers I figured I would standardize on the largest required characters only to find a source whos maximum characters were lower than anothers minimum characters.

In a small modern car its not super bad but will never be as easy as automatic. Getting used to using your left foot is annoying though. I had to use an old boat without power steering and quite when I was young and got my license on a friends automatic later in life. Im someone who hates driving in general though.
- Comment on Why don't these code-writing AIs just output straight up machine code? 4 weeks ago:
I mean we know the code does not always work and can often be not the cleanest when it does. I mean if code from ai was perfect in a six sigma way, 99.999% of the time, then I could see the black box thing and just sussing out in the lowers. Even then, any time it does not work you would need to have it give it out in human readable so we could find the bug but if it was that good it should happen like once a year or something.

My last position I got called in and the sentence I was given was almost the same. We are letting you go and want you to know this is not due to any performance reason its just a business decision.
- Comment on Iceland approved the 4-day workweek in 2019: nearly 6 years later, all the predictions made have come true. 4 weeks ago:
This is where unions really dropped the ball. I feel in the eighties and even back in the seventies they were pushing for overtime over increased staffing and thus membership plus not going for lower work week. Its crazy that the work week increased over the last 50 years (well in the us).

I would not not want to have any non human reviewed code going out from an AI system.

I did the one for skills and maybe another one on my steamdeck. It was just dropping a file into a folder. Finding the folder though. ugh. that was the annoying part.
- Comment on Neville Page Says ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Season 1 Klingons Were “A Salty Broth” 4 weeks ago:
ee that is the thing with discovery. they went into the past and added new technology which then made the ackward part of everyone being classified and would never speak about it again. That would not really have been necessary if it had been placed after the other series. The only problematic point might have been holograms which seemed to be the only tech they did not have compared to the latest shows really.

Much of discovery season one would have sat better with me if it had just taken place after voyager.
- Comment on Amazon robot tests show they're not ready to replace humans 4 weeks ago:
In case people just read the headline the end result is it can't 100% replace humans but the stats they give indicate they are pretty close and they learned some lessons that they are going to be using for improvements. They mention product damage but not cost. What surprised me was they were pretty close in rate to people but it mentioned people are much faster with smaller items and items at human level (not way low for bending or high that needs a ladder) ; while the robots did not vary as much with size or location. I could totally see them revamping human labor around this. Setting up for small items to be handled by humans when they are on shift and maybe having a role where a human responds to robots that can't identify an item. They even mention maybe having robots do the high areas so humand don't have to get on ladders (which sorta increases safety to). So I could see a robot management role which we have in a lot of automated setups. Humans to inspect for damage or quality, repair, or just intervene when needed.

one reason I got a deck is long term it can work as a mini linux machine even when I upgrade to something better eventually.
- Comment on Are AAA Games too bloated? 5 weeks ago:
I love long games as long as its easy to pick up and put down. Like with elden ring it took a bit for me to realize I can exit almost at any point outside of a boss fight and anything defeated would stay defeated and such. Only real downside is if you have injured something then it will be full health when you come back. So it was very easy to play for 15 mins and stop and an hour later play for 15 and such. cyberpunk and harry potter did that well enough for me as well.

- Comment on Valve's invite-only Deadlock has an even more exclusive top-secret hush-hush version 1 month ago:
you know I generally do not like pvp but I would not mind something like shadowbane resurfacing. With the city building and minimal rewarding of pvp it was not bad despite the fact that once you left the gates of one of the three safe npc cities you had snipers galore. Yeah most player cities were dicks but there was a few guilds that actually tried to make something for people to visit (of course then they got player griefers coming in to)
