No, that one was a puzzle game about perspectives in a multi-layered dream.

- Comment on Checks phone *30 minutes left till alarm* FRICK NOT AGAIN! 3 weeks ago:
I looked up the manual for my alarm clock because this bugged me so much.
Turns out there is a fucking button combination to change the brightness and it just defaults to maximum for some reason.

AFAIK basically every ATM in existence runs embedded Windows.

Taken per capita, probably LaVey. Taken as “Total harm done” it’s Jesus, no contest
- Comment on I can now save my game in Pokemon Yellow again after 25 years. 4 weeks ago:
It’s a useful skill to know, and it’s not super hard to learn. It just takes some practice.
As long as you have some common sense(eg: dont set the iron down on something flammable) you shouldn’t need to worry about fires.

Your solder joints don’t actually look that bad. Ive seen much worse. But “works” is the gold standard anyway. You’re probably the only one that will see the board in person.
If you want advice, it looks like your iron was either too cold, or you didn’t work fast enough and your flux burned up before the joint set.
- Comment on It seems that Valve is working on a "SteamGPT" feature that will apparently deal with Steam support issues and is somehow connected to Trust Score and CS2 anti-cheat 4 weeks ago:
One thing Valve is known for is testing things. They typically make sure technology works before rolling it out everywhere.
I’m willing to bet that they have either solved most of the problems a tool like this has by massively limiting it’s scope, or it never actually gets past a beta test phase.

- Comment on Apparently they are actually for birds??? 5 weeks ago:
Big Bird has a predator’s front facing eyes, and a massive form which must require a lot of calories to run.
Do you think his species is an ambush predator like a puma, a persistence predator like a human, or does he go for volume like an orca?

Yes

This has not been a problem since YouTube became a thing.
Now I can watch someone beat it to see if I’m doing something wrong. Sometimes I am, and sometimes the boss is actually hard, but now I know which.

Anyone who says their 20s were the best years of their life experienced them in the 90s or earlier.

IIRC, that was basically the reason given by Yoko Taro about why 2B looks like that in Nier.

I am also not a Juggalo, but every one that I have met has been kind and accepting to an aggressive degree.

- Comment on Expecto patronum my ass! 2 months ago:
I really like the way that The Dresden Files handles it.
Magic tends to fuck with precision mechanics and electrical systems, which means that modern weapons are much more likely to jam when in the presence of magic auras.
As a result, the main character, who is a wizard tends to use a .44 revolver as his sidearm because anything more precise is going to be unreliable.

Authentication
Audit
Access
The ability for the correct people to access the information is just as important as the steps to secure it or review who accessed what and when.
- Comment on Video game romances need to evolve beyond lore dumps 2 months ago:
Video games as a storytelling medium are still pretty new. Not only that, they are far more complex than the other mediums due to the interactive nature of games
Games delivering complete stories beyond “Hero goes out and saves princess” has only been around for around 25 years or so. it takes a lot longer to learn the language around the technology. Right now, video game narrative tends to exist as a sort of “choose your own adventure” movie.
The format just needs a lot more exploration from people willing to experiment with it as an art form to try and tell stories that are not possible to tell through static mediums like novels or film

I mean, If I were to try that at my age, the feeling the next day would not be dissimilar from a hangover
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 3 months ago:
Silksong was great, but it really has an issue with approachability.
Most of the quality of my life upgrades come after challenges that prove you don’t need them. I didn’t really feel at home with what the game was asking of me until I fought the cogwork dancers. I totally understand why people bounce off the game when they encounter Last Judge.

Outer Wilds.
I very much want to play this game. It’s everything I want from a detective puzzle game, but actually playing it gives me motion sickness.
- Comment on Legal action over 'unfair' Steam game store prices given go ahead 3 months ago:
Valve got to where they are by simply being the option that offered the most convenience to end users.
All the things this lawsuit is challenging are true. Valve does have a defacto monopoly on PC games distribution, they do not let you buy DLC on other platforms for games you own on steam, and they do take a 30% cut of sales.
Having these be limited by government regulation is a good thing. It would increase interoperability and increase competition in the space.
If those things get changed, people will still continue to use Steam because they continue to offer a service that “just works”. Every other storefront that has attempted to compete seems to either trip over itself by trying some anti-consumer behavior to increase short term profit(EGS, Uplay), lack discoverability features(itch), or not offer enough benefit to endure cost of change(GoG)

The chicken itself is probably fine. It would taste like any sauced chicken you get at an American Chinese restaurant.
That rice was heinous though.

- Comment on ChatGPT to start showing ads in the US 3 months ago:
I wonder if this is going to affect all those companies that have ChatGPT-powered customer agents.
It would be very funny to receive an ad for a competitor while trying to get help for something from the company that makes it.
