- Comment on Anon makes games 1 week ago:
no, that’s exactly it: the entire franchise is built on being fundamentally a single player game and highly customizable.
players, reasonably, expect that from the series.
also, God Emperor Todd^TM^ promised you would never have to see another player if you didn’t want to…which - and you will never guess this - was a complete and utter lie.
so on top of going against the established series formula players were also lied to about the game being playable without the MMO aspect.
the FO76 launch really was a legendary shitshow…

ah, that explains it…i half-remembered that something is off about that site, but couldn’t remember what it was…thanks for the heads up!
- Comment on Scan to Verify You're Human 2 weeks ago:
that’s been true for years now:
captchas have been a mild inconvenience for bots for like 10 years.
they are, like so many things, pure security theater…not actual security.
- Comment on Scan to Verify You're Human 2 weeks ago:
are they fucking serious with this shit?
what the hell…
- Comment on I hope they'll make it more contagious 4 weeks ago:
yes.

hey that’s interesting, thanks for sharing!
- Comment on Anon is a paramedic 5 weeks ago:
actually that’s called “passive suicidal ideation” and is in fact exactly what it sounds like:
a kind of “if this happens to kill me, oh well, at least it’s over.” kind of mindset and it is an earlier stage in the process of suicide.
quick copy paste from the wiki:

in modern MC you’re swimming in the damn things, so, eh, use them for everything!
villagers trading diamond gear while also trading literal sticks for emerald was a huuuuge mistake!
they made trading way too easy…
- Comment on Day 604 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 3 months ago:
instead of hamachi, may i suggest zerotier for your gaming needs?
runs on linux, CLI only though, but i found it ptetty intuitive to use. documentation is pretty good too!
the advantage over hamachi (don’t know about tailscale) is peer-2-peer connection, meaning it’s great for gaming with friends for the way lower latency!
the servers only negotiate the pathways between peers, everything else is directly between peers ;)

it only sounds like that, because it is. :/

saw a setup like that at work, until it was determined to be a fire hazard. which it was.
had to short the start pins of the MoBa with a paperclip to start the damn thing.
we called it “the scorpion”, cause it would shock you if you touched it wrong, and it kinda looked like a scorpion with the cables hanging out all over the floor…

probably highly dependent on your work environment:
it’s the exact opposite at our office…
- mail service goes down

- check icmp; no ping
- was there an update, patch or something? …nope?
- check with network: did you guys change anything?
- oh yeah, new network config!

- Comment on The show I was watching went from "Free" to "Paid" *while I was watching it* 6 months ago:
use or don’t; who cares?
just don’t spread lies…
- Comment on The show I was watching went from "Free" to "Paid" *while I was watching it* 6 months ago:
not true, it does sort of the opposite:
debrid services cache torrents in order to provide them at high speed to clients (that’s why they aren’t free: they need data storage).
this is a good thing, because it means the swarm is only taxed once per file, instead of constantly by potentially hundreds of streamers.
from stremio’s FAQs:
How Debrid Services Work with Stremio
Stremio itself is a media center application that aggregates content from various sources through add-ons. Debrid services enhance this experience by:
- Converting limited or slow hosting links into high-speed premium links
- Providing access to higher quality sources that might otherwise be unavailable
- Bypassing throttling and download limitations imposed by file hosts
- Offering cached torrents for instant streaming without waiting for peers

First time hearing about it
not surprising, given the incredibly stupid name…
- Comment on why 7 months ago:
doesn’t work at all, completely breaks down for the planetoids and moons…
which makes sense, since those names are not german, which is why german grammar doesn’t apply to them.
latin loanwords work the same way in german as they do in latin: completely at random and just have to be memorized…but at least they do follow the gender of the deity, so if you know your greco-roman pantheon it’s pretty easy!
- Comment on why 7 months ago:
oh, it does work…
…if you’re bigoted enough.
- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 7 months ago:
similar suggestion to BlackAngels: RimWorld?
sounds like you’d enjoy top-down gameplay more than 1st person, so might be something to try!
pro tip: try the base game first. the DLC are all good, but none are required!
- Comment on The oldest Minecraft server, MinecraftOnline, is being shut down by Microsoft 8 months ago:
eh, the exaggeration aside…the trend lately IS extremely worrying.
especially the treatment of protesters.
that said I’m pretty sure that’s got little to do with this situation…tend to agree with the others ITT: “libertarian” and “free speech” is seldom a good combination of words…

- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 10 months ago:
they do mean subverse!
- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 10 months ago:
yeah, there’s an inherent problem with that:
in general, people choose adult games explicitly to get off, so putting a bunch of unrelated activities between them and that is not a recipe for success.
or in other words: good gameplay makes for bad porn, and vice versa.
i understand what you are asking for, and the solution for that is modding;
check out loverslab!
the biggest communities (i know of) for this are:
- Skyrim Special Edition
- Fallout 4
- The Sims 4
- RimWorld
all of these have what you’re asking for, with varying levels of integration into the main game!
and since it’s modded content, you even get to decide how much, and what kind of, adult content there is in your game!
and when i say everything is customizable, i mean everything!
so take a look and have fun ;)
- Comment on It's on your blood! 10 months ago:
no it’s more like saying “desalinated water is fine, it’s the brine that’s problematic.”
which is true.
and the same goes for teflon:
the PFAS are toxic, not teflon itself.
glossing over that distinction is disingenuous…
yes, you can’t make one without the other, true, but the end product is not toxic. that’s an important difference you can’t just ignore in order to say teflon is toxic, because a requisite material in (cheap) production is toxic.
because that’s like saying desalinated water is toxic, just because brine is toxic…which is obviously ridiculous.
- Comment on First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io . 11 months ago:
hey, no worries!
just felt like it might be useful to know where the misunderstanding happened
i’m glad if it helped, cheers!
- Comment on First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io . 11 months ago:
ah, that makes more sense!
just as an aside, for future reference:
you wrote,
Bitcoin, and the millions other way more efficient alternatives 😜"
when you really meant to write:
Bitcoin, or the millions other way more efficient alternatives 😜"
it may be s subtle difference, but when you write “and” it means bitcoin AND the other alternatives are efficient.
when you use “or” instead, it means bitcoin OR the more efficient alternatives.
so my interpretation was correct. you just didn’t write what you thought you did…
- Comment on At this point who in the world could stop Trump over doing something totally illegal? Like lets say using bunker buster bombs to destroy DEM cities? Or is USA communially FUCKED? 11 months ago:
i know it’s not the point of the thread, but FYI:
bunker busters can’t destroy cities. not practically, anyways.
they’re hyper-specialized munitions that get dropped from high up in order to pick up a lot of gravitational momentum to then penetrate deep underground and through multiple layers of concrete.
they’re long, extremely resilient, stupidly heavy rods with relatively small warheads.
they’re the "rods from god"s little cousins, essentially.
although there’s some speculation that some kinds of modern concrete might be strong enough to withstand even multiple direct hits…
the kind of munitions that could cause enough destruction to level a city are M.O.A.B.s, for conventional arms, or straight-up nuclear bombs.
…or you could use a LOT of smaller bombs, like the russians in ukraine, or the israelis in gaza.
but bunker busters, while having an objectively badass name, are not actually that scary a weapon, unless you’re sitting in an actual bunker; they’re more of a precision weapon!
