343 needs to go back and rewatch the VODs Bungie put out explaining their weapons triangle, and the reason for shields and armor
- Comment on Rock Band 4 to be delisted on tenth anniversary following the expiration of its licenses 3 weeks ago:
Frets on Fire is the one I knew of back when Guitar hero was at its peak
- Comment on The inner fire of my hatred COULD melt steam beams 4 weeks ago:
10 years ago, that was believed to be best practice.
If they’re still doing it in the last 2-3 years, they don’t have anyone keeping up with modern security standards
At least it’s not your data
- Comment on The inner fire of my hatred COULD melt steam beams 4 weeks ago:
The majority of accounts I have don’t have an expiry
I wouldn’t trust personal data with anything that does - they certainly don’t have any security professionals on staff
- Comment on The inner fire of my hatred COULD melt steam beams 4 weeks ago:
NIST’s official password guidelines state you should not have password expiry unless there is evidence of a compromise
- Comment on Borderlands 4 Launches To Mostly Negative Steam Reviews Over Performance Issues And Crashing 1 month ago:
That is part of the genre, yeah.
They’re procedurally generated within a range of possible effects and damage based off the “manufacturer” in-game
You’ll end up finding one you really like and using it for like 5 levels, while selling other loot, until you find one that jives more with your play style and is more powerful than your current loadout

Even those weren’t super great…
In many cases he provided experimental drugs unapproved by the FDA to test them in other countries
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 1 month ago:
Even with the PS4, the bluray couldn’t play the game.
It had to install to the internal drive and download updates
- Comment on Sony is raising all PS5 console prices in the US by $50, starting tomorrow 2 months ago:
That’s why all of the major players have been frothing at the mouth to get rid of discs
- Comment on Families took safety into their own hands by painting yellow cross walks. Now, the city of Los Angeles is removing them. 2 months ago:
I don’t understand why you would expect it not to increase safety.
It gives a visual cue to drivers that it is more likely someone is intending to cross at this location.
- Comment on 7,818 titles on Steam disclose generative AI usage, or 7% of Steam's total library of 114,126 games, up from ~1,000 titles in April 2024 3 months ago:
Yeah, that’s why I’d like some more insight.
The initial headline doesn’t exactly pass a sniff test… It’s possible, but unlikely.
If ~34,000 were added in the last year, that means over 30% of Steam’s library of ~114,000 was added in the last year…
If only 1/5 of those were AI, why was there such a massive increase over the last year?
Has Steam made it easier for cash grabs, or… it just doesn’t make a lot of sense without more information
- Comment on 7,818 titles on Steam disclose generative AI usage, or 7% of Steam's total library of 114,126 games, up from ~1,000 titles in April 2024 3 months ago:
How many of the ~6,818 titles now disclosing generative AI use were already on Steam in 2024?
I.E. are a lot of these just games that had already been released, updating their disclosure statements based on Valve’s new rules?
The article says 1/5 games released this year use it. I’m not sure if ~34,000 games have released on Steam in the last year
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 5 months ago:
For unplayable, Rocket League had very good Linux and macos native builds Epic required them to delete support for those operating systems as part of the acquisition of Psyonix
- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 5 months ago:
When they buy publishers, they had them actively remove Linux support, such as Rocket League
- Comment on I just realized the only way to get new gamers to care about Jak is to release a "remastered" version, which sucks. 5 months ago:
Wow. This opengoal project is so cool!
You made me dig through old boxes to find my Jak games. I know what I’m doing this weekend :)
- Comment on 5 months ago:
If you just mean recently, one of the YouTubers with the most subscribers recently released a video about why he switched to Linux, and in it, he says he uses hyprland
May be affecting its popularity
- Comment on Why is voting before the deadline in US elections referred to as 'early voting'? 11 months ago:
Is that how you think about your bills?
“Your rent can be paid on the 10th, and you can pay late up to the 31st”
- Comment on [USA] How can sales tax brackets affect purchasing behavior when prices are pre-tax? 1 year ago:
I agree it’s dumb, but I’m also trying to understand how politicians think changing the tax rate for healthier or less healthy foods can possibly affect behavior in the USA when it’s set up this way in stores
There’s some evidence it somehow works publichealth.berkeley.edu/…/do-soda-taxes-work
But I’ve never known what I’ll be taxed on a specific item
- Comment on [USA] How can sales tax brackets affect purchasing behavior when prices are pre-tax? 1 year ago:
My belief that it’s intended to incentivize behavior is from talks about things like the “soda tax,” where some goods are taxed at a different rate to try to reduce consumption
I don’t understand how they can be effective when you don’t see the price on the sticker, though

- Comment on Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG? 1 year ago:
I was all in on GOG 10-12 years ago when they said they were working on Linux support “soon”
After so many years of promises and no action, while Valve pays developers to improve Linux gaming, I’d rather buy from Steam
Prices tend to be similar between the platforms here, though

- Comment on Why is the US not considered a third world country? 1 year ago:
North/south imply certain regions can’t improve and is far worse than developed/developing
If layperson words didn’t have an issue with 1st/3rd world, you wouldn’t see so many comments about it
- Comment on Why is the US not considered a third world country? 1 year ago:
Yup, it does change. It was attempted to mean “poor” and it’s been reappropriated since
If you’re trying to use modern language, it’s “developed” and “developing”
- Comment on Planning to propose in a few months, what should I look for in a good value engagement ring? 1 year ago:
We went with moissanite, and everyone thinks its an insanely expensive diamond
Moissanite is sparklier than diamond, so for what people look at in rings, it ends up looking better than diamond
- Comment on Saw this and thought it was fake until I googled. It's real. 1 year ago:
Yeah, just wanted to make sure people knew this wasn’t some new thing. It’s been going on since at least the 90’s, and I’d bet if you found someone older, they’d say it’s been going on longer
- Comment on Saw this and thought it was fake until I googled. It's real. 1 year ago:
Not that it’s better, but it’s not new
I did something similar as a kid in the 90’s at a papa johns
- Comment on How are Book Bans Constitutional? 1 year ago:
My assumption is that because “the state claimed the rights” for that specific book makes me think this is a special case in their laws
Can a US state or the federal government claim the right to someone else’s writing?
- Comment on How are Book Bans Constitutional? 1 year ago:
The Netherlands use the same copyright laws?
I always assumed that was just the US copyright system
