I’ve been hooked on The Finals for my destruction shooter fix, since the development team (Embark Studios) is mostly composed of ex-DICE employees. They’re upcoming game Arc Raiders also looks pretty good.
- Comment on It's official: EA is going private. 2 days ago:
Fair, EA abandonware is pretty good. Anything currently actively developed (2010s onward) is not worth playing.
- Comment on It's official: EA is going private. 2 days ago:
It’s crossplay, so it’s harder to directly estimate, but using SteamDB (so not counting being matchmade with console players) roughly 15-20k playing at any given time.

Hop on the finals, my man, it’s made by ex-DICE employees.

Haven’t bought an EA game ever. I think I’m already ahead of the curve XD

Wait, do Australians greet each other by saying “Aye, Matey!”?
- Comment on Why do some gamers invert their controls? Scientists now have answers, but they’re not what you think 1 week ago:
Usually it refers to joystick directions being reversed (common for flight simulators) or the “Southpaw” control methods on console controllers (designed for lefty users).

- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 2 weeks ago:
Even so, the steam hardware survey seems to indicate that the vast majority of users wouldn’t reach specs to enable developer-approved framegen anyway. (Unless you count Lossless Scaling).
We’re kind of going full circle back to the paradigm of “You are judged on your entry level as much (or more) than your high end [gameplay performance]”.

- Comment on Friends are a bloatware. 2 weeks ago:
I mean, I have similar feelings about Valve, but I continue using the product because I know the most crucial and important contributions to the software space (Proton and OpenXR for Valve, Signal’s Client and non-spam-removal server code) has already had source provided to the public, meaning anyone could hard fork and pick up the torch if the current champion falters.
If a company is publicly traded on the stock market, hasn’t provided source to safeguard against uncertain leadership, and is integral to your software setup, your dependence on them needs to be scrutinized.
On the other end of the spectrum, if transparency is maintained, even with the inevitable entropy leading to enshittification, their contributions will be preserved and reused. That is the brilliance of providing source of your software.

“Gambling is a tax on those who are unwilling to learn about statistics.”
It’s so destructive to people, yet so tempting for governments and businesses to push onto others.

These screenshots imply the family’s wealth is built upon the father’s full time gambling addiction “working out” (he never quit, apparently).
Realistically though this is either a shitpost, satire, or pointing out the stupidity of thinking gambling will support your family.

Look at the rear leg on the left side of the photo, it’s curled in unnaturally. This might be slop.

Same here, perhaps it just had a delay before it was viewable to others - they are on Lemmy.world, so maybe the traffic is congested.

I could give less of a fuck if my friends and loved ones are being pulled into vans under the orders of some miserable politicians out east who never represented us.
If D.C. can fix their own shit, my tune will change. As of now, California’s my refuge away from federal hell, and I don’t see the flames extinguished yet.

Politically, I don’t see it happening in any of the 3 states tho.

Common misconception for people outside of the US, Washington State =/= Washington, D.C. They’re on opposite ends of the country, and don’t have much in common in terms of how they are ran.

California in the EU would be quite the mind bender, unless you’re referring to Denmark being an import vector.

Hey if you ever make it to Cali, I’m sure I can talk with some of my contacts to get you a place. Gotta look out for the disadvantaged after all :)

Very high concentrations of educated citizens among the populace, a functional tax system that actually reinvests into its people compared to many other states in the union (especially below the Mason-Dixon line), and key cities center to high-tech development and critical US industries, military or otherwise.
Additionally, because these states were some of the last to be incorporated into the United States, they largely were able to develop in less rigid ways in the 20th and 21st centuries compared to other states in the union (Cheaper land also allowed developing industries like computing to invest heavily in the region).
Though not a perfect summation, here’s a video from Vox about why Silicon Valley is located in California: youtu.be/6xvrKW2H_hA
I can try to explain any other questions about our politics and social norms as a Californian (though I’m less familiar with Oregon and Washington State, sadly).

- Comment on ‘Escape From Tarkov’ Coming To Steam In the Coming Weeks 4 weeks ago:
Blue beret item references the VDV, airborne russian troops, in the description. Also one of the armbands has the russian flag on it.
Although because the game is shown through the lens of PMCs (you’re not fighting as or against Russian/UN/NATO troops), most of the russian military references are minimal (unless you count the descriptions of weapons detailing their design/usage histories).

It doesn’t, and that’s one of the reasons I only play offline with mods rather than online.
