  There were, but we ate them.

  If only.

  The same image is shown to a lot of people. If a majority of people click on the same things, that is assumed to be the correct answer. And it is added to the training database. Occasionally you’ll get one that hasn’t been shown to enough people yet to know for sure. For those, they’ll usually accept any answer, even wildly incorrect ones. The thing is, you as a user never know which ones they already know and which they don’t.

  Yes I’m a hot dawg for sure.

  Sadly justwatch doesn’t work for me because it thinks Belgium is only Wallonia.

  Interesting! I tried from a country that has an eID so it should be trivial to weed out duplicates, yet I got that checkbox.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Th EU iniative for Stop Killing Games has reached the goal of 1 million signatures!!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oddly, the EU one just has a checkbox that you need to check to confirm that you haven’t signed before. I’m guessing removal of duplicates happens only after closing, along with other data validation.

  I thought this strange at first too, but I think it’s because of the disparate identification methods in different countries. If everyone had a digital ID card instant checking would be doable, but note it probably isn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A “best RPGs of all time” list will inevitably include Baldur’s Gate 2, and likely other Infinity Engine games, most of which are definitely not games without difficulty spikes or required side content.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Wolf Among Us, and I imagine other Telltale games (but that’s the only one I played so far). It felt a lot like Life is Strange in gameplay and storytelling, even though it’s also a lot different.

  In a similar vein, point and click adventure games like The Whispered World, The Book of Unwritten Tales, or Syberia. The modern ones usually don’t have a failure state (as opposed to the infamous Sierra games), but unlike LiS you may get stuck on a puzzle.

  This is deep.

  As someone who played the original Prince of Persia, Sands of Time still feels like “the new one”.

  To my social feeds? I doubt it. Plenty of fediverse content, but not added by Threads.

  I will continue to defend Andromeda. Yes it has its flaws, but no more than the original trilogy. It could’ve been the start of a cool new trilogy.

  That’s not their natural state? I’m learning so much in this thread.
