Okay, something weird just happened to me… When I sent my last comment, I couldn’t perceive it as anything but white and gold… Now, out of nowhere, i can’t perceive it as anything but blue and black… Why? How? What just happened?

Why is it so clearly blue and black in your screenshot?
- Comment on What a nice blue and black dress. 5 days ago:
I don’t think that’s it. I can’t perceive the original image as anything but white and gold. I tried to convince my brain about the lighting situation, but I don’t think it has helped.

Minor correction. Islam is the religion. Islamism is, essentially, the attempted application of said religion into politics or state law.

Yeah, I don’t really care as long as it’s not the author starting a death cult, but it was an interesting read

Oh wow… I liked Methods of Rationality… Didn’t know it spawned a death cult somehow…

You’re in a post about the housing situation in the US, what were you expecting?

Very unfortunate that we never got the chance.

Future far cry titles did also have the same fire spreading system, just toned down since they’re not set in very dry places.

- 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 8 months ago:
An interesting use case for me in programming has been prototyping. Stuff I otherwise wouldn’t have the time to experiment with suddenly becomes something feasible. And then, based on what I learnt while having the AI build the prototype, I can build the actual thing I want to build. So far, it has worked out pretty nicely for me.

There are pretty much no support systems in place for situations like this in most places. So, exile can mean starvation and more where I’m from. I don’t know about where OP is from though.

Skinamarink. It was truly terrifying for me.
- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 1 year ago:
I mean, anybody could verify it by spending a few hours each on the respective games… But yes, any empirical data would be nice. For example, a study on the amount of blatant hackers found on lobbies joined in comparable ranks. Anyway, this isn’t exactly misinformation to anybody who has played both games at any decent rank. It’s unproved but immediately discernible information. Take that how you will, i don’t really intend to argue about this here. This kind of pointless argument is the worst thing about Lemmy.
- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 1 year ago:
I sure wish there was some empirical study regarding the same too. I’m very much going by anecdotal evidence from myself and others right now
- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 1 year ago:
you don’t actually need kernel level to do anti cheat well.
I’m sure you’re right, but VAC is one of the worst examples for that… I think whatever Blizzard does with Overwatch 2 is a better example.
- Comment on Steam Now Warns Consumers That They're Buying a License, Not a Game During a Purchase 1 year ago:
It just needs to be "owning* in the way physical media without DRM works. That is data too after all. The ability to sell your copy of the data or have your friend borrow.
Yes, DRM-free is the closest thing, never argued otherwise. I’m also not arguing the services offered by GOG are part of “ownership”. The lack of an ability to download a game at any point is just a part of the fact that GOG too is simply licensing in the end. But yes, GOG is still the closest thing to “owning” games. Which is why it sucks that so many titles on GOG have DRM despite the claims btw…
I’m really only arguing one thing: piracy is better than GOG right now in every single way. You don’t have to worry about hidden DRM. You don’t have to worry about account creation bullshit. You don’t have to worry about anything else. You just download, hit play and it works every single time. If I send the copy to a friend, it will still work.
Piracy has always been closer to “owning” than GOG, so GOG should at least have some other tangible benefits over piracy. But right now, they don’t.
- Comment on Steam Now Warns Consumers That They're Buying a License, Not a Game During a Purchase 1 year ago:
At that point, why not buy the game on any platform of your choosing and just pirate it when it stops being accessible on the platform you bought it on? I understand wanting to support GOG, I “own” a lot of games on GOG as well. But it’s not really “owning” even on GOG if at some point, I could lose the ability to download the game.
Any game that isn’t available as a pirated game isn’t going to be on GOG anyway… The problem here is that GOG needs to be better than piracy in any tangible way and right now, that’s not the case. It would be the case for me if GOG Galaxy was available on Linux but it’s not, as one example.
- Comment on Flappy Bird’s original creator says he has nothing to do with the new game 1 year ago:
Yes, it’s basically the first game any new game dev makes. The idea is way too simple for any kind of copyright. Not to mention it already existed before Flappy bird.
