  if the answer isn't "blockade it and seize every non-US vessel until we get what we want, and keep up a bombardment campaign the like of which the world has never dreamed", it's not going to be a long term solution.

  They won't reopen it if we let them win.

  Your console has tabs if it's a modern console.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 49MB Web Page⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Just use Lynx/Links in your console?

  I wonder how different they are in 2026.

  What about the Doozers?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The fuck is the point⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If I spend that money and it's not worth the cost, either I'll try to get it comp'ed or something like that. And if it's really that bad, I put it on a credit card and then call the company to reverse the charge. Worst comes to worst it goes on debit and I dispute it with the bank.

  Yes, and? I choose to be petty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's Gemini will make its way into Dragon Quest X to power a "Chatty Slimey" AI companion, Square Enix has announced⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So, I guess I'm never touching anything by Square Enix again. That includes Taito & Gangan, and I'll probably also just personally extend it to IO Interactive and anything they touch, and Crystal Dynamics and everything they touch. And I don't just mean buying. I won't even consider pirating LLM stuff from the slophouse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Just Patented The End Of Your Website⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can't get enough of The Stuff, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨where?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  House and CJ, thanks. Both of them basically just want to chill. But frankly with the way that plane is going to be, I'd leave the airport and take a train or a bus.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Devastating blow’: Atlassian lays off 1,600 workers ahead of AI push⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Both, honestly. It's also because people are realizing that they hate Jira.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fascism bad.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fascism bad.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As long as I survive, sure. Granted, that requires trusting Rutgers, but hey, maybe I can.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii says English translations inevitably strip away a lot of a game's "flavor"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At least we're not calling them Dragon Warrior anymore and lumping SaGa and Mana into Final Fantasy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fascism bad.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That's actually interesting, and I'd love to see the studies behind that (and then see if I can find out how my own brain is structured).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FATALITY⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mugen devs, get on this.

  Also, it'd be cooler as a beat-'em-up than a fighter.

  Someone forgot 'stand'.

  Yes, they do. You're intentionally sharing food with them. They know you care.

  No, paint 'em blue, they'll be luckier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game. ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  How about a different pattern;

  • Figure out what your breakeven is - in other words, how much money you need to make to recoup salaries, licenses, and generally keep the lights on.

  • Put out a free demo (and I mean free - no DRM either). See how many people download it within a month or so.

  • Project the production budget for the next game.

  • Price based on a 2% retention rate of the demo downloads to accommodate breakeven + next game + 5% profit for op-cap.

  Rinse and repeat as necessary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game. ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Mine is more:

  $0.00: Is it FOSS, or is it on GOG? Is it DRM-free? Cool. (see: Luanti/MineTest, OpenTTD, Battle for Wesnoth, Beyond All Reason, FreeCiv, FreeOrion, Remnants of the Precursors, Endless Sky, The Ur-Quan Masters, Mindustry, Jill of the Jungle Trilogy, etc)

  $0.01+ - $4.99: Is it in eXo? I'll get it that way.

  $5+: I can't imagine buying it if there's anything either in the FOSS category or in eXo that does the same thing.

  And 99% of the time, if there isn't, straight to torrents.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am looking for a Linux OS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I would say SteamOS if you can run it. Otherwise, CachyOS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the optimal handle to chain length for a flail?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Flails are weapons for demonstration, not real fighting. Use a mace or poleaxe instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Know when to stop⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That one and the Clamavi de Profundis version are both great. I also like To Erebor by Wind Rose.
