  Yup!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes trains⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you sure? There’s at least one lump I hope they find, but it’s kind of deep up in there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG summer sale is live⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m still mad Galaxy doesn’t support Linux. I’d probably still use Heroic, but the mere fact of being a second class citizen doesn’t feel great.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes trains⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure. But even my ~8 year old laptop has an M.2 drive. I haven’t seen a spinning disk in anything I’ve considered buying in the last ~10 years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes trains⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Asking nicely can go a long way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes trains⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  American trains are safe, they’re just really slow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes trains⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, but you pay that price once. Cars and planes have a lot more maintenance costs than trains.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes trains⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Amtrak on the east coast is decent, it’s offensively bad on the west coast and most places in the middle of the country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes trains⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure they’d finger you if you asked nicely, and have showered recently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes trains⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, the US is really big, and we have a bunch of mountains, but there’s still no good reason why reasonable train infrastructure doesn’t exist. We have train lines from Seattle to LA, SF to Chicago (and transfers to NYC and DC), and NYC to Miami, but they’re all super slow and have to share with even slower freight sometimes.

  I live in Utah and know a bunch of people who would take a train to Vegas almost every weekend if it existed and was somewhat fast. I’d take one from SLC to LA if it existed, and I’d consider one across the country if it was reasonably priced. But no, the train takes twice as long as a car for most destinations, and is often more expensive than an airplane, so why would I ever take the train outside of the train being the point (i.e. as a novelty)?

  Make them fast and convenient and people will rife them. Apparently Amtrak gets decent usage in the NE because they’re fast and convenient. Do that for the west and people will use them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes trains⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Same in the US, and they’re slow. Going halfway across the country (i.e. anywhere interesting) takes ~24 hours, and the cheapest seats (not a room) cost about the same as a regular flight, more if you consider budget airlines. And that’s if there’s a train going where you want to go without ridiculous transfers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes trains⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And at least the laptops I had with spinning drives had vibration dampening.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes trains⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Spinning drives have a no place in a laptop. In a desktop at home, sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG summer sale is live⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Same, and I’ve even played one or two!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has fries⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Who knows, maybe she has high blood pressure and can’t properly consent to the fries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are people gurgling the switch 2 so hard?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m guessing something like a “justice boner,” but with misinformation?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dispatch offers something new for superhero video games — engaging deskwork⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Boots up Hitman.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is an oldie, but Lords of the Realm II. I loved the first two, but had trouble with the third and ended up giving up, assuming it was a me problem.

  Nope, the community pretty much unanimously hates it. It’s not a terrible game per se, it’s just very different from the first two, throwing out everything most people liked about the predecessors and not exactly succeeding at the new mechanics.

  I’ve decided to build my own take on the best parts of all three, we’ll see if I ever finish it.

  Any self-respecting judge would check, and hopefully most journalists would keep records of these things to prove where the footage came from.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon predicts the future⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You can enter the camera as evidence, and prove that it has been used for other footage. Each camera should have a unique key to be effective.

  So if you create a new key, it won’t match the one on am existing camera. If you steal the key, then once that’s discovered, the camera should generate a new one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon wants this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re the same picture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck and SteamOS hit 20,000 playable games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There really should be another level to it:

  Tinker: runs fine with some in-game config or with Steam OS tools like Steam Input

  It would exclude any lower level tweaks like changing launch args or using a special Proton version, those can stay unsupported. Basically, if you can get it working well intuitively without looking stuff up online, it should have some level of support.

  Switch between left and right and you’ve got a party!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can now search for Steam games by adjustable difficulty, mouse-only options and other accessibility tags⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Learn to use a mouse left handed, it’s worth it. ;)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨be 400 pound fat fuck⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The part where they’re on 4chan, duh. ;)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re comparing them, as in you don’t have a strong preference for one vs the other, the Steam Deck wins hands down. You get access to a much larger library of games, repairability is awesome, and you can use it like a PC, because it is one.

  The only reasonable reasons to get a Switch 2 are:

  • play first party titles - even when emulators come out, the performance probably won’t be there on the Steam Deck
  • it’s for someone who wants a very simple experience, and they’re willing to pay more
  • the Steam Deck is too big for you - if you have smaller hands, it could be uncomfortable

  But I don’t think most people will really be deciding between the two, they target very different markets.

  Yeah, who knows. But it’s the first step toward a larger exploit.

  Huh, I forgot cake days were a thing. Thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 Hacked in 48 Hours — But Here’s Why It’s Just the Beginning⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s still exciting. If you can run arbitrary code, you can probe the system for vulnerabilities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨game has multiple factions fighting each other⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Utah should be a lot more blue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Outer Worlds 2 Can't Be Anti-Capitalist When It's Charging Us $80 To Play It⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s the thing, there are already vendors doing largely what. Indies generally:

  • cost less
  • release in a playable state
  • take risks on new ideas
  • don’t have microtransactions

  But people usually talk about big AAA games in these complaints. Buy indies and we’ll end up with more variety.
