  Because then they can advertise their other games to you along with other things, at least going by the blizzard/Activision launcher.

  Can also do environment checks or setup and some troubleshooting/debug/repair from them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palworld lead worries Steam early access has "lost its meaning": players treat it like "a normal game" and the program has been "abused for a lot of reasons"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, IMO they should either be priced cheaply because anyone who buys is essentially testing the game. Then it’s an ok gamble IMO, cheap game that might never get better and could be full of bugs.

  Or they should be priced higher to attract people who specifically want to support the idea and avoid review boms from people who expect a full game even though it says “early access”. But this model then puts a requirement for communication and transparency with those who did support it, as well as a commitment to release what they did produce as open source if they end up abandoning the project.

  Though I think there should be some buyer beware involved. Read reviews before you buy, especially negative ones, and look for trends (to avoid being overly influenced by one reviewer’s bias). It’s impossible to predict which will continue being developed and which will fail (and out of those that fail, which ones intended it from the start and which ones were trying to make a great game in good faith but it just didn’t work out), so buy early access games for what they currently are rather than what you hope they’ll be. Even if they do get finished, that final product might not be what you’re hoping for.

  Other than banning the account after it happens, I can’t really see any way to punish the bad faith actors without catching people with low resources just trying to make a game despite the system being stacked against them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To be happy…⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  To put it in perspective, that’s just over 100 years out of 4.5 billion the earth has existed. Or 300 million years or so complex life existed (that mostly wouldn’t be able to fathom the core concepts you’d need to know to even understand what having an air fryer means, where I’d consider “figured out that forest fires can contain more delicious food in some places (where intensity is high enough to cook plants and animals but not enough to turn them to charcoal)” to be pretty smart). Or several million that hominids have existed and using stone or better tools. Or several thousand since we figured out how to manage our food production rather than depend on always finding it. Or several hundred since we got much better at harnessing energy.

  Also, I’d push back on a) the invention date being more relevant than the mass release date, and b) early convection ovens counting as “air fryers”, so that 100 years should probably also be reduced.

  Personally you had me at “top 5 tourist destination”. That just sounds like a miserable experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nice Going Buddy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  On the one hand, I agree. But on the other hand, that leash has led to pretty bad places many times over the centuries. I’ve come to believe that there’s some truth to the “humans are kinda shit” premise of Christianity, just that sometimes it redirects that shittiness and other times it directs it (or individuals do in its name, since Christianity itself isn’t an entity).

  I have no idea if humanity would be better off with or without religion. I don’t need it personally but others having it might make everyone’s lives better simply because they don’t think they can get away with some things so don’t try them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancement⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s if you even consider AI generated frames to be “good graphics”.

  I love beautiful graphics. I’m not picky about them and don’t insist on photorealism only (Valhala is a beautiful game and uses this strange mix of high and low fidelity graphics), but I do love me some good photorealistic rendering.

  I’m not interested in this “AI tries to predict the pixels between actual rendered ones”. It’s just a push towards average, like everything else big data, when it works well. And maybe this one does work well but I still dgaf because I don’t want slop frames.

  And I suspect that’s a reason you don’t see true frame to frame comparisons between AI upscaling and that same frame fully rendered at the higher resolution. It’s difficult for random reviewers to get the exact same frame rendered like that so I mostly see frames taken from the same viewpoint, but you can’t do apples to apples comparisons because the scene is dynamic and things other than the camera have changed. But nvidia could generate the same frame both ways for a direct comparison but only seem to want to show comparisons like DLSS off (at low res) vs DLSS on (at high res) or different DLSS versions against each other, which I think is telling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Bane Of My Existence⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t get how so many people roll the dice even after seeing the horror stories of how facial surgery can go wrong. Celebrities especially, where they are already doing pretty well on the attractiveness scale. Jennifer Grey had her surgeries in the 90s, so for her I can maybe understand (understand not realizing the risk, her nose looked perfectly fine to me before that), but people still get that shit done today.

  It’s always sad to see before and after pics of people getting cosmetic facial surgery because the list of ones that look better in the after pic is tiny compared to the ones that looked better in the before pic, even when the surgery isn’t botched.

  Like with porn influencers, best cases I usually see are ones that are still attractive despite their cosmetic surgery, while the worst cases put them deep in the uncanny valley.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Now we're cooking with gas!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Another version that can work is if you have two pans where the bases are both say 5mm, but one of them is all steel while the other is 3mm copper welded to 2mm steel, the copper one should heat up faster than the all steel one. No idea how well copper welds to steel though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I wanted to be in the video game industry when I was younger and followed through with it by learning programming and pretty much everything I could with computers.

  But then while I was in university, the story about EA’s working culture broke. How they’d say hours were normal but they might need extra hours during “crunch time”, which sounded reasonable until you learned that they just set deadlines such that it was always crunch time. The partners of EA workers did a class action suit against the company and won it IIRC.

  That was enough for me to adjust my trajectory. I realized the suddenly obvious bit: people usually go into the video game industry because they have a passion for video games, which sets them up for exploitation like any other job that many people want to get in to.

  I might still make a video game but I never intend to be a peon in the video game industry.

  Based on what I understand about feminine hygiene, probably by wrecking the biome of anyone’s vagina that used it such that they were dependent on Lysol to prevent whatever else moved in from taking over after the Lysol killed the good along with the bad the first time, along with manipulative marketing to trick other women and girls into thinking they need to use it so they use it that one time to build the dependence.

  It doesn’t take all that much to make a delicious rice- or beans-based meal. Though you do need to buy a few more ingredients. Bibimbap is a great rice dish. Emerald dal is spinach and lentils, but I’d put dried lentils in the same cost-effective category as beans (wouldn’t be surprised if they are a bean, assuming peas are also beans) and a batch could last you for a few days.

  Oh and this is another reason that /s tag sucks, as it helps training LLMs determine when something is a joke. Or maybe we should start using it to mark serious posts. /s

  I mean, if you like getting handjobs from an Indian dude remotely controlling your robot, sure I guess? Though expect it to do that thing where it looks like it shuts down and then starts up again as it goes through a bunch of Indian dudes who see the request and then quit their job on the spot. Just hope you don’t get one of the ones that punches you first.

  What about playing them on the original consoles? I’ve got a Game Cube and PS3 I still use occasionally, and a PS2 that I haven’t tried in a long time but would give it 50/50 for just booting up if I hooked it up, plus some portion of the failure 50% includes the possibility of repairing it.

  Wasn’t it more like a receipt with an url on it that may or may not still be the image that was at that url when the purchase was made. Or maybe you could do a hash of an image, at which point changing a single pixel or cropping it would change it into an image you don’t “own” and most people won’t have any idea how to even check it.

  Really, with the lack of tech savyness out there, the best way to own an NFT would be to just lie about buying one and what it is.
