  I make babies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guild Wars Reforged Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  GW1 and GW2 are very different games. Don’t expect an MMO if you try GW1. You only see other people in cities, the world itself is made up of instanced zones. Only your party is there, and there’s a well-defined mission in each zone. Think of each zone as like a dungeon in an MMO.

  That said, it is a great game. I prefer it to GW2, but I would guess that MMO players could be disappointed if they don’t go in with the right expectations.

  Either way, he recommended that everyone “freak the fuck out for the next few days and speculate as much as possible until they announce something,”

  Advice after my own heart. Freaking out and speculating are always the best move.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you beat post-work floppiness?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The point here, IMO, is to make moving - some kind of exercise - part of your daily routine. Unless you have a physical job, try to find some way to stay physical. Bike to work (I know this is often not practical), or go for a walk at lunchtime, or start always using the stairs in the office , or …

  It sounds contradictory, but staying physically active really does give you more energy.

  Ironically, that’s definitely something AI could check for.

  What does Q&A stand for?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite case of a game making fun of you?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The best part was: this was even in the installer! When setting up your sound card, there was a test button. If it worked, you heard “your sound card works perfectly”. But if you kept pressing it, eventually it would say “enjoying yourself?” And if you kept going after that, in an angry voice, “it doesn’t get any better than this!”

  Ah old Blizzard, when even the installers had character.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I also love how reincarnation is a fact of life in that world, and souls are a real, almost physical, thing that can be manipulated and used.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's decision to axe Windows 10 is driving Apple PC sales growth — users buy Macs instead of AI PCs despite Microsoft’s push for Copilot+ PCs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can use Linux-like text navigation on macOS: ctrl-a goes to the start of the line, ctrl-e to the end, ctrl-f forward, etc.

  I mostly use Windows, macOS second, with some Linux in distant third. Yet those Unix-style bindings are what I miss most in Windows applications that don’t support remapping.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't fix the problem just change the parameters⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  About thirty years ago I was a teen. I remember talking with a girl only a few years younger than me, and being astounded that she didn’t know how to read an analogue clock.

  Exactly as you indicated, this is nothing new.

  The only thing that comes with a straw in the restaurants I visit, is cocktails.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Internet's Biggest Annoyance:Why Cookie Laws Should Target Browsers, Not Websites⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  IANAL

  Two things: “reject all” should be as easy as “accept all”. GDPR seems pretty clear about that, to me at least. Almost all (if not simply all) 3rd party implementations get this wrong. I can only assume they’ve never been challenged on this, or found a loophole. “Native” European sites (governments, official bodies, TV stations, …. ) are the only ones I’ve seen do this correctly.

  If your cookies don’t have any tracking you don’t need to ask consent. You don’t need a pop-up. You don’t need any user interaction. All you need is a notification somewhere on the page.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New trailer for Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown has a rather bald Borg crew member⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  what did they do to Seven of Nine?! Why do they have no hair?

  When she first came aboard she didn’t have any hair either.

  Unfortunately the murderer was their significant other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Using “streaming” instead of “broadcasting” struck me as an odd choice for someone old enough to remember it.

  It’s fine of course, it just stood out to me.

  I blame the shoes for looking so throw-up-on-able.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Obsidian Temporarily Removes Games From Sale Due to Unity Exploit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  From what I heard, they delisted only the premium editions of Avowed because some part of those use Unity. It looks like the same is true for the other games. Even for Pillars they only delisted the definitive edition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is exploited⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess anon is too tired to do maths correctly. That sums to 21 hours, so only 3 left instead of 4.

  Didn’t Microsoft do this a decade or two ago already? Or was that just exploring the idea?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Randy Pitchford Snaps Back at Borderlands 4 Criticism: 'Code Your Own Engine'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Shade aside, I do think more developers should make their own engine. Yes it takes time and resources, but those are spent on exactly what you need instead of on getting what you want out of an engine that was made to do everything but focused on nothing.

  Witches made of sand! They cause sandstorms, extremely dangerous.

  They know the truth. They know about the Great Glitter Bat. They worship in the Old Ways and prepare for the coming uprising.

  I know you’re talking about early access, but even released games aren’t finished anymore until months later.

  There were, but we ate them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨captchas like these that don't tell you which part of the text you're supposed to input⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

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