  All I see is collaboration!

  In misery.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Myself – I opt for the low decision fatigue – same thing everyday wardrobe.

  If I wasn’t a bachelor remote employee I might consider mixing it up on the behalf of others. Right now when I do quarterly on-sites I stick with my usual wardrobe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vampire Survivors-like Megabonk makes megabucks, selling a million copies in 2 weeks, and currently has more daily players than Borderlands 4 on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I assume I’ll have to wait around until the next gen Steam Deck to play it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Internet is being shitty on link. What is the price increasing to/from? When was the last increase?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The skin on your feet would be doing some lovely things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which career to pursue?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you don’t like math then we can pretty much eliminate pursuing a masters or phd in Physics from the list of options.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨100% free - The Leviathan's Fantasy (on Steam)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks.

  We’ve leveraged ChatGPT to make NPCs more lifelike, allowing them to engage in free-flowing conversations within the game.

  Somewhat tempted to download and poke at that part to get some laughs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has this happened to you?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most recent one was a little lol because I had gotten a ~15 minute heads up from another terminated coworker about what was going down – HR was late to mine, so there was around 10 minutes of empty small talk with the boss.

• ⁨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'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So… I shouldn’t plan on playing this on a Steamdeck when it gets down to $19.99?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A nice tall glass of OJ⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know how common it is but some households might use frozen orange concentrate and would use a pitcher for storage.

  (Frozen orange concentrate is sold as small cylinders in the frozen food section that you mix with water.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm Master Debating, Mom - South Park⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Im sure someone will post it - but there’s a site with all the episodes that have been removed for whatever reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In ex ha ha le le⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do they want me to sit on the pillows?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New moderator for this community!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know how you have time for a day job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can I persuade you towards a Steamdeck?

  Main thing with those is a lack of extensibility and support from Chinese management.

  At worse you buy one of those, find its limits and then upgrade to something else and use it for homelabing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How popular/important do you have to be for your death by homicide to be labeled as an "assassination"? What if the homicide is for a private matter that's separate from their importance?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What did a chess champion do to you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there an increasing trend in the fear of germs/contamination (Mysophobia/Germophobia) ever since Covid-19, or is it just me?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Im loving this recent kissing bug news….

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good luck!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When you lay the floor down it doubles as a bed!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Valve trademark for 'Steam Frame', looks like we're getting new hardware⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know absolutely nothing about what I’m about to say.

  But I wonder if VR having 2 actual physical displays makes handoff between devices less complicated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Hollow Knight Silksong's 'cheap' price a problem for other indie games? Devs and publishers weigh up its impact | Eurogamer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t think it was ever mentioned it’d be final. Just that they’d be more focused on their other game’s development and not to expect any more until it was finished.

  Anyhow - the dev has recently mentioned an update is coming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is 825GB a common size? Is there any logic to where that being picked came from?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do phone scammers work? I get them trying to get another persons money. But how do they get all the info and now can do voice fakes. I highly doubt they just pick a random person and say fuck them⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They can be targeted. A group was monitoring my social media and targeted my grandparents for money with specific information.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"There will be a Stardew Valley 1.7 update": Creator ConcernedApe confirms another update to the immortal life sim hot off a new Haunted Chocolatier tease⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I had just finished reading a Steam thread on why a game didn’t have a female option.

  If I ever create a game I’m making the protagonist a slug or alien or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hypothetically, if you have memory problems and need to write down events, is there a system which you can verify that its not tampered with? (Like a digital checksum, but for a journal)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Does an immutable password protected journal suffice? Or do you need the ability to edit past entries? Or do others need the ability to read entries without the password?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is. Just accept it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I just knew it wasn’t Turkey so had to wing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is. Just accept it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought Labor Day Meatloaf was tradition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paradox are "making adjustments" to Bloodlines 2's day-one vampire clan DLC plans, following backlash⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Good to hear.

  To save anyone from digging for more details – “making adjustments” was all the info that was given by a trusted source in a community message in their Discord.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hot Seat Advert⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Is leaning forward to go forward the natural expectation here or were you able to invert vertical axis?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you are paying to use "AI", who are you paying and what are your regular usecases?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Claude Code Jetbrains AI Open Router

  The usual Dev work. Claude is primary. Jetbrains is on the fence but can be nice for autocompletes and backup. OpenRouter is for API/script usages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I quit my job to make my own game. Toll Booth Simulator⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  May I ask why you went with a different developer name from your previous game?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't you creating more workers??⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You said ban birth control and porn? Got it.
