- Comment on Elden Ring Nightreign’s Massive Steam Launch Tarnished by 'Mixed' User Reviews Over Lack of Duos Co-Op, Voice Chat 1 week ago:
I don’t see the game getting either of those things.
Duos, you can already do, you just have to take on a rando as a third. They could scale the difficulty down for 2 players, sure, but Elden Ring’s mutiplayer scaling is notoriously terrible, in part because no amount of scaling can account for the lost potential for splitting aggro, in a game where splitting aggro is king.
Voice chat is something that FromSoft has INTENTIONALLY never included in any prior game, despite there being co-op in all of them. Making players coordinate with each other with very limited communication tools is one of FromSoft’s signature design choices. The fast pace of this game compared to prior games makes the lack of communication tools hurt a lot more, for sure, but it’s still very much playable. If you dislike this design choice, you are absolutely free to, but it’s not gonna change.
- Comment on Forbidden Tech 2 weeks ago:
I did it last week. We were out of power for about 30 hours. But I actually have a degree in Computer Engineering, and I did it with a friend who is a professional Electrician.
It is indeed EXTREMELY dangerous. If you don’t know what you’re doing, or make a mistake, best case scenario, you fry your generator. Worst case, you electrocute a lineman from the power company, who isn’t expecting lines to be live when there’s an outage, because yes, if you feed power into your house, that will flow OUT of your house onto the main lines (to some extent), if you let it. You could end up trying to power your whole block on your little gas generator.
We made sure both the indoor and outdoor main power shutoffs for the house were turned off, as well as all breakers. Then we unplugged the oven, and used that for the feed from the generator. Then we gradually re-activated breakers so as not to add too much load to the generator at once. Ultimately, we were able to run the whole house, except for the AC compressor, which the generator actually would have had enough power to run, but not to kick-start.
The proper way to hook up a generator to feed your house is to install an “inlet” which is both nominatively and physically the opposite of an outlet: instead of holes going into a box, you have prongs sticking out of a box. Generally, it’ll be one of the big fat 4-pronged round cables, like what your oven might use. That’ll feed down to a large double-breaker, in the top-right slot of your breaker panel. That breaker stays off until you want to run a generator, and, to meet code, you have to also install a special bracket that prevents you from turning this breaker off without turning off the primary feed for the whole house. Still kinda dangerous, but they make those brackets surprisingly foolproof.

Love the followup to that verse.
Master, who then can be saved?
Jesus, internally: Oh, shit, good point, uhh…
What is impossible for man is not impossible for God.
Dude was just talking out his ass the whole time.
- Comment on Embracer to spin off Coffee Stain Group – remaining business to be renamed Fellowship Entertainment 2 weeks ago:
Normally, I’d be on board with you, but it does strike me as notable that Coffee Stain has apparently ALREADY been under the umbrella of shareholders this whole time, and is still fucking THRIVING. I’ll also note that Coffee Stain is based in Sweden, where all the things that make them great (I.E. the way devs are treated, which lets them thrive and make great shit) isn’t about to change.
So, I think it’s worth tempering the pessimism a bit, for now. We’ll have to see how it plays out.
- Comment on Embracer to spin off Coffee Stain Group – remaining business to be renamed Fellowship Entertainment 2 weeks ago:
What makes you say that? Do you say “everything else” to mean all the studios that aren’t splitting off along with Coffee Stain? From what’s here, I don’t see why Coffee Stain is in any different boat than everyone else underneath “Coffee Stain Group”.

No, the patent involved is specifically covering Pokemon. Legends: Arceus, in particular, IIRC.

It was one of those tall, thin church candles that you normally put out with a long handheld suffocator. Me, I tried to just jump for it. Came down awkwardly on one of the thing’s feet, lost my balance, and my leg crumpled in under me as I fell.

I once fractured my fibula blowing out a candle. I was, like, 17. You’re telling me it’s going to get WORSE?!

Yeah, just like it was announced for 2023 in that one XBox showcase.
I’ll believe it when I’m playing it.
- Comment on Anyone Relate ? 2 months ago:
In this case, it seems tobbe the same deal as it was with Bloodborne: FromSoft didn’t make it by themselves. It was co-developed by Nintendo, so they have co-ownership rights and are free to keep it on their own console. FromSoft likely wouldn’t have hadntge manpower to make it on their own, with whatever other projects they have going.

He doesn’t just let us kill them all, he keeps tabs on us and gathers intel from all of them, including their spells and techniques, which he plans to use to kill us. And, truth be told, combining all of the powers and skills of the strongest beings in the world together is a pretty solid plan.

Agreed, but my account is about 1.5 years old, so shouldn’t be an issue, regardless.

Props to whoever this company is. This is one of the best bits of customer service I’ve seen in years.
- Comment on Pictrs/Image Uploads not working 3 months ago:
Interestingly, I was able to upload these two screenshot snippets to lemm.ee, but not the game screenshots I was trying to post. I suppose that means there’s SOMETHING weird about the game screenshots, but generate them the exact same way every time, including the one above that you were able to re-upload successfully.
- Comment on Social Security Shuts 'Wasteful' Department After Trump Order 3 months ago:
The federal agency also announced it has terminated cooperative agreements with the Retirement and Disability Research Consortium (RDRC)—a program for research on Social Security, retirement and disability policy issues. Ending these agreements is expected to result “in about $15 million in cost savings for hardworking Americans in fiscal year 2025,” the SSA said.
So, we’re eliminating inefficiencies by eliminating programs that identify inefficiencies.
Me personally, I’m okay with spending $0.10/year to have experts both inside and outside of the Social Security Administration identify problems with Social Security that they can work on.
- Comment on Pictrs/Image Uploads not working 3 months ago:
Well, I would, if the issue hadn’t self-corrected again today.
It’s pretty much just what /u/irelephant posted here. There’s very little actual info present, just an HTTP status of 500 with a boilerplate nginx response page.
When it inevitably starts happening again, I’ll be sure and take some captures of the full request/response details.
