  It may not be your cup of tea, but a lot of people (me included) really like SoT.

  They either have a Star Trek license and can't say so yet, or they are going to be sued into oblivion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Being forced to download the Reddit app onto my phone to view any 'NSFW' post, even though I'm on my desktop⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There's also browser extensions like "old reddit redirect". They ensure you're always on the good version of reddit.

  It's been tried multiple times and it just doesn't work. Physics (the speed of light) ultimately dictates latency. Streaming only works for a rather small subset of games that doesn't rely on reaction time or latency at all. And then only works for people who play those games a lot (you're not going to sub to a streaming game service if the majority of the games you want to play don't work on it). There's a reason Google Stadia died.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What difficult games/game challenges did you give up on?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don't think so. I only beat 3-4 bosses or so. I think it was a dark bluish area with white spikes, some way down from the entrance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What difficult games/game challenges did you give up on?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I've just moved on to other games. I have a wife and a small kid. I can't afford to spend hours and hours stuck on a game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What difficult games/game challenges did you give up on?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hollow Knight. I love that game but I am in my mid 40s and my reaction time isn't what it used to be. And it's nit even the bosses. I just cant make it past the spike section where you have to air-dash all over the place and can't be a millimeter off or you die.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This app lets restaurants and coffee shops charge to use the bathroom⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are plenty of public toilets that charge a small fee. Train stations and airports for example. Also at gas stations it's pretty common. But I have never seen it at a restaurant or bar. Maybe sometimes there's a sign that says it's 50 cents for non-customers or something. But never fir customers.

  Don't be sad. It was the shitty version with Monster Energy ads and pruduct placement

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whats the difference between cheap and expensive modern TVs?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you seen them side by side? The difference between backlit LCD and OLED is massive. It's a much greater jump in quality than going from 4k to 8k (which IMHO is barely noticable)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What game did you last finish? What did you think of it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I recently finished Diablo 3 (finished the campaign, then went into adventure mode and played until I got sub 3 minutes GR 90 runs). And yesterday I finished the main storyline for Q.U.B.E. Anniversary Edition. Now working my way through the bonus sector 8.

  That has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever seen

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I picked up Diablo 3 a while ago but didn't really play until now. Finished the campaign, jumped to adventure mode, got my 6 piece set and I'm now grinding for ancients. I just finished a greater rigt lvl 100. It's fun so far but I should probably have started a seasonal character instead of a standard. But I'm too lazy to do it all again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI in big budget games is inevitable, say dev vets from Assassin's Creed and Everquest 2: 'Developers hate it … the money is still going to drive absolutely everybody to do it'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It's the same thing. AI is not some magic pixie dust.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Making a button to do this is apparently far too difficult⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  In a lot of places, it is. They have laws requiring the ability to unsubscribe using the same method/medium as you subscribe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity rushes to clarify price increase plan, as game developers fume⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They showed up years ago. Now they want to get paid.

  I'm nearing the end of Graveyard Keeper. Pretty fun so far!

  Nah, Deep Rock look way better and more fun

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft will sell Activision Blizzard streaming rights to Ubisoft⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Internet speeds are already fast enough. The problem is latency and it's impossible to fix. You can't beat the speed of light. You just can't have a 200ms delay between your controller and something happening in the screen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 03-08-2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I finished both Diablo 1 (devilutionx) as well as Diablo 2 (remastered). Both are still great games

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sea of Stars has completed development and gone gold!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I played the demo of this during the last Steam demo week. I liked it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion [2]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I recently set up a private Valheim server for me and a friend. So far it's great fun. We just made it to the mountains tier. It's a bit grindy, but a very fun and relaxed grind.
