  So bus is really pronounced beece. Thank you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Riding the bus to the underworld⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Now I wonder if I pronounce bus or Anubis incorrectly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨USA 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 USA⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there even a botanical definition of vegetables?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux users: Are we over-reliant on Steam?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Proton is mostly a fork of Wine which has been used for decades to run Windows software on Linux. Valve didn’t do all the hard work by themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux users: Are we over-reliant on Steam?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, Proton runs outside of Steam in Heroic and Lutris. That’s basically what the umu project is about. I think it works in Bottles as well.

  Almost everything Valve has done for Linux gaming is open source and will remain even if they go away and lock everything down tomorrow.

  When I scrolled past this earlier I thought it was maggots. i don’t know if I should be more or less disgusted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish there was a blacklist in Sponsorblock. I mostly just need it for one channel, in others I don’t mind as much.

  Bundesinformationsreportdrohne

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are signs that the game devs aren't gamers themselves?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  In almost every game the gameplay tips and tutorials they give you are not only suboptimal but often outright counterproductive. This is especially bad in multiplayer games.

  It was really nice in Doom Eternal, where they added quick swapping to the tips.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are signs that the game devs aren't gamers themselves?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  In the same vein, when the game starts immediately without giving you a chance to configure it. Because the default configuration is always wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are signs that the game devs aren't gamers themselves?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The Steam Deck is great in that regard. Just put it to sleep.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are signs that the game devs aren't gamers themselves?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  When there are several waterfalls in the game and not one has a secret behind it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the "dip"?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I heard you should always buy it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why covering our shoulders with a mantle or blanket is so efficient at warming us?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Wasn’t that a stupid study where they didn’t cover the heads and then concluded that people lost most of their heat through the head?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon describes apple's practices⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s next, you’re going to tell me the story is homosexual as well?!?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon describes apple's practices⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Fairphones suck though, if you want to fix your problems. Got a Fairphone 3 after my Nokia couldn’t be repaired. I got it explicitly to have a phone that can be repaired more easily. But you know what? The fucker refuses to break!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon describes apple's practices⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I couldn’t get a 5 € USB port exchanged on warranty because of a small tear in the screen. Because those fuckers glued the screen on. I wish I had had the energy and time to sue them for warranty. Not my problem if they make their shit harder to repair.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you even find companies to work with ?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there some kind of employment (or unemployment) office from the government in your country? They could have their own job board. It might suck, but sometimes you’re lucky and find something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can all the milk replacements bubble if you blow thru a straw in it like a child?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They don’t pop as quickly as water bubbles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays cyberpunk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’ve already played a bit and love it. But then XWVM caught my attention. Now I gotta switch it up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For people who want to play their favorite games but are unable to, what are you currently doing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Due to Long Covid I can only lay in bed and most games are too intense for me. So I actually do watch let’s plays.

  I really like Welonz. She has a really nice mix of indies and big titles, regularly tries out a great variety of games. She is very thorough and while she might not find all the secrets she will go out of her way to show alternate endings and stuff. And she has an interesting voice, so rumor has it that she is actually a ten year old boy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hmmm who could it possibly be?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I was once at some children party thingy where they had free cotton candy. My friend and I ate so much that we completely swore off of the stuff for all eternity.

  Then I went and got married to a gal with a cotton candy machine…

  Keep going! Who knows how many signatures will be ruled as invalid.

  High-speed train in Germany.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘There Isn’t Much Sway Held by Past Success’: Baldur’s Gate 3 actors reveal it hasn’t boosted their careers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  She literally talks all the time about how she doesn’t get any offers all of the sudden. She probably did at least once in one of her last four streams. She just has become pickier with what she auditions for. But she still has to audition like everyone else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘There Isn’t Much Sway Held by Past Success’: Baldur’s Gate 3 actors reveal it hasn’t boosted their careers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, apparently the director and writer of E33 were actually playing BG3 at the time of the casting. But they didn’t recognise her voice at all. They just knew that they had found the right one for the role.

  It’s also saying something that they cast Andy Serkis and didn’t use him for performance capture. That was all done before the voice recordings. Recording over already finished performance was an entirely new experience for him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Killing Games Initiative passes 700K milestone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hopefully this will translate to all software. Next step: Stop killing hardware
