Tbf with rust the PVE/RP servers are pretty decent for a stress-free experience.
- Comment on 'Live-service is a red flag for us': Why one publisher is embracing an older kind of multiplayer hit: peer-to-peer, server browsers, and organic community 3 days ago:
Tbh that’s why community servers+p2p are the best options to have for a game - people are more than happy to host their own servers for friends and the public, and the dev doesn’t have to worry about perpetual infrastructure upkeep. Win-win.

At least in Linux you can rebind it and I guess for this the inevitable custom firmware will find a use for it.
- Comment on The legendary PS2 1 week ago:
Engineer born in the 2000s, I’ve heard of the PS2 but never had one in my life (although I had original Xboxes in my life so maybe I just had the weird family). I had a PS3 growing up, and a few of my friends had xb360s, but then I moved to PC.

Honestly both are fine as long as you stay within or below the average healthy limits (roughly 320mg/day for caffeine, weed might be less tested in that regard).
Just know your limits and make sure you have water with you.

Well the beauty of PC is that you could always jump ship to another distributor/developer if one turns into shit.
EA is already there, so it’s easy to play games from other devs instead XD

Again, depends on region. Given prior electoral results from 2016 and 2024 though, I think it’s fair to say more veterans from W. Virginia voted for Trump than veterans from Washington state.
I don’t think it’s honest to compare military service to welfare though - the occupational hazards aside, you sign away most of your freedom of movement and independence while in active duty (whereas welfare is designed to assist people who are struggling in the active moment rather than having them sign away their autonomy for years to decades).
- Comment on Born in the USA reminder 1 month ago:
It’s largely regional, so to be honest the statistic is more valid when looking at things from a local level rather than a national level.
West Virginia would be in a much worse state for their populace compared to Seattle, for instance.

The VA is supposed to, but like Medicare/Medicaid, is hampered in its ability to be distributed to all those who need it.
There’s a reason “not service related” has become an in-joke among active/former servicemembers, sadly.

- Comment on Epic Games CEO says it’s ‘really irresponsible’ of Steam to make studios disclose AI use | VGC 1 month ago:
Steam’s system has the binary flag, and then gives space for developers to explain in their own words how AI generated code was used in the process, (IE: Arc Raiders mentioning its use for physics simulations, COD giving a more generic “used throughout development” line). There will be plenty of people who will see “AI content included” and will stop reading the store page after that, and that is their decision. For people who read the explanation, they can get a better idea of what kind of usage they are dealing with, and decide if it’s still worth buying the game.

- Comment on What's a word for "I actively endorse it for others even though I dislike it”? 1 month ago:
Not a word, but a phrase:
“Doesn’t suite my taste, but not a bad product.”
or
“Not for me, but fine for others.”
- Comment on Why is it almost every cease fire or deal made in the Middle East everyone adds a little fuck you to the Kurds? Just like the MoU screwed them. As far back as I think Nixon was fucking over them. 2 months ago:
The lines drawn by the agreement hardened into borders, but the actual control of the territories by Britain and France never came into actual effect due to the decolonization after WWII (and in the post-WWI era).
So in a sense, yes, the Sykes-Picot agreement did not come into effect as intended, but the lines those men drew did, and their consequences persist to the present.
This does not exonerate the various atrocities and actions committed by the various parties involved since then, of course. Lines on a map will be difficult to modify in the modern era no matter who drew them.
- Comment on Why is it almost every cease fire or deal made in the Middle East everyone adds a little fuck you to the Kurds? Just like the MoU screwed them. As far back as I think Nixon was fucking over them. 2 months ago:
Technically you could go all the way back to the Sykes-Picot agreement never giving them a defined state and thus shattering them across multiple borders only relevant to long dead empires. Things really only keep getting worse because as history as marched on, the nation-states in each of the countries that the Kurds reside within have political- or resource-based incentives to not allow the Kurds to form a genuine independent state combining their existing communities (and resolving the conflict they have with their respective “home countries”).
From a logical standpoint, it should be simple to allocate a state to right a historical wrong inflicted by an Englishman and Frenchman who didn’t consult any of the residing population, but it’s more valuable to the current nations presently involved in the middle east to keep them around to be exploited as pawns or scapegoats. Just dangle the carrot on the stick that is Kurdish autonomy/independence every few years or so.
As an individual not analyzing the circumstances from the nations’ perspective however, this is fucking horrible diplomacy and I do not blame the Kurdish people at all for being distrustful of anyone who worked with them in the past.
