Thanks for explaining it! That’s it, right? I was wondering what tf it was trying to allude to as “quiet quitting”. This isn’t satire, then?

App mods work fine. It’s just sad that “making the best product to the user” has very obviously not been the priority for many many years.
You’d think these settings should be available to the user, right? Nope. This is from a modded version.

What do you do for nuts and bolts? Isn’t that stuff harder to get?

Joke aside, scales on earth measure force and show mass on the assumption of the gravitational pull on earth. On a moon colony, you’d use measuring scales with a different value for the gravitational pull, and get the same values for mass as on earth.

Kojima is the JJ Abrahams equivalent in the game industry. Great visual execution, but absolutely horrendous story-telling that will make you wish were dumb as a piece of loaf so as to not notice it.
When Kojima made a comment that he didn’t fully understand the story himself… It sort of all made sense. It’s just connotations mashed together, beach, strand, hair, cord… A big pile of nothing to create intreague with nothing to actually show for it, no mystery revealed, just more layers of confusion. Sort of like Lost. I’m sure they’d get along great.
But oh boy are some of those moment exceptionally beautiful and spectacular in all its illogical absurdity. Mads Mikkelsen’s acting. Got goosebumps. But then it falls apart by revealing flaws through the fourth wall. Like did… part of this mystery hinge on the double meaning of words? Whatever the fuck was going on, it’s a little bit silly that it hinges on etymology.

What are you asking? Why would you assume he doesn’t know? I’m so confused.
- Comment on Gen Z is prioritizing living over working because they've seen 'the legacy of broken promises' in corporate America, a future-of-work expert says 3 months ago:
That sound like a horrible Kafkaesque nightmare. I fear my country is heading in the same direction. I’m saddened that it got so bad in the US, and that the “obvious steps in the right direction” were simply voted against. I’m reminded of the Community episode where they explore the alternative realities. Before Bernie lost to Hillary I told a friend “Well… if Bernie loses, it’s all going to shit”. I’m sad to have been right, although it started that way some time ago with Reagan gutting the middle class.
We either figure out how to redistribute wealth in the society in the next 30 years, or… well, “going to shit” will be the least of our problems.

It doesn’t take many minutes for compilation videos to show up on YouTube that only contain trailers for news games, etc.

Because it’s childish and uninteresting? Truth-teller? Sheeesh. Add “martyr” to the list.

You seem to have some impressive confirmation bias going on. What makes you think gaming is dead? The only real argument here, which you aren’t even making, is mobile gaming market, but that seems almost remarcably as if it’s created a new market and not really affecting pc/console gaming.
- Comment on Unions work. That's why the corporations don't like them. 7 months ago:
I live in a country where more than 50% of worker is are in some union or another. Not a single person or union would allow it’s members to go to work if it was even remotely close to the situation in the US. Not to mention that you’d have to change a whole bunch of laws that give rights beyond what unions fight for, which don’t exist in the US

The… UI in blender is really good. Have you used any other equivalent software or know how complicated it is?
It’s not “good but it’s a hard problem to solve”. It is more “great and it’s a hard problem to solve”
- Comment on Starfield, is it getting review bombed? 8 months ago:
I have tried to play NMS four separate times now. I just cannot get past a certain point where it feels like repitition towards some kind of story line that is always one stept away of “something interesting”. The mechanics of the gameloop are maybe a bit too obvious, which takes away form the immersion. I end up shelfing it because something else catches my goldfish like attention. Then a year later a major update comes out, and I think “maybe it’s good now”?
Am I doing it wrong?

America is kinda fucked up. Seeing it from the outside, nothing is surprising, the solutions are fairly obvious. If nothing else, the direction in which to go. Yet, it’s just dumb and dumber.
You had a real shot at change with Bernie Sanders. At least one of the three pieces. At this point, you’ll have a revolution within the next 5-10 years that changes the two party system, or it’s lights out.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty - Gameplay Trailer | gamescom 2023 8 months ago:
I’ve been a huge fan of CDPR since the witcher 2. I love the world of cyberpunk. The combination seemed like a dream come true. So, I deliberately held out on absolutely any and all spoilers. It was not easy.
I bought a new computer for the game. I booked a two week vacation to play the game.
And, I mostly enjoyed it. It was a little bit underwhelming, and some systems seemed a bit contrived. But, it was still fun, with some amazing city design. Definitely not something that I would call GoTY.
Then, I looked at all the outrage, and I looked at the promotional material. And, oh boy, did that seem fraudulent. Like, “how come no one went to jail”-fraud. Pretty straight up lying about every part of the game. And why? I don’t know, but it seriously stained my view of CDPR.

If anyone stumbles upon this comment, I would also mention that you can install any subsequent update in the same way, by editing the entry to the update file(s), run the update executable, and then edit the entry back.

Most GoG games can be run through steam/proton, but it’s a bit tedious. I’m guessing that there are better approaches than what I do, which is to
- Download install files from GoG. For BG3 it’s like 27 or so files and one setup executable. Place all of them in the same folder
- Add the install executable from 1. as a “Non steam game”. Through the “Games” -> “Add non-steam game to my Library”.
- Edit the entry from 2. and add compatibility. (Right click and “properties”. “Compatibility” and check the “Force the use of a specific Steam …”. I used Proton 8.0.3
- Run it, and complete the installation. The install allows you to run the game directly, but don’t do this. Just exit it after finishing the install.
- Locate the wine installation for the game. Something like "/home/<$USER>/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/pfx/drive_c/GOG Games/Baldurs Gate 3/bin/bg3.exe"
- Edit the entry again from 2., set a nicer name. And the adjusted path above as the TARGET. And full path of the bin-directory it’s in, in quotes, in START IN.
You should be able to run it as a normal steam game. I’ve done this with all gog games without much issues.

I can also mention that it works flawlessly on Linux even with the GoG version (still through proton). It’s uncommon for such games to be on GoG day one, and I wouldn’t have bought it otherwise.
