  Enjoy it! You could be driving another fun car with a completely boring sounding engine (cough FL5 cough) with almost no good sounding exhausts that aren’t just noise.

  Just wanted to say that while this looks fun, it was supposed to release about a year ago

  A fits on paper much better than B, especially when you try to write as small as possible to fit all of your work on one line

  I did some low-effort Googling and now I’m seeing that maybe some sea critters like krill have the highest non-bacteria biomass.

  Either way, none of these are beetles!

  Pedantry is always important! I would argue that ants would be selected over humans by both mass and population

  Hence observations like these. There may be a good reason other than “they’ll wait on the star,” but that’s also a shitty way to treat others.

  If he’s busy, he’s gotta deconflict or drop items from the schedule. Arriving on set late can waste the time of dozens of others and rack up unnecessary costs. Even if he pays everybody for the time wasted, that’s still time that could have been spent on other things that is just gone

  I think you need to re-read the linked thread. Nobody’s as extreme as you’re making them out to be.

  The complaints are fairly level headed. I’ve seen worse in Amazon product reviews.

  Neat, but intentionally light on details. There were ~2000 hooked calls that they patched to get the game more or less running.

  Give some examples of the calls! You don’t need to publish all 2k, but going in depth with one or two would be a great way to satisfy technical curiosity.

  I’m beginning to understand that the trick to getting away with using AI… is simply proofreading.

  I don’t condone it whatsoever

  Proofreading is basically work and should be outsourced to another AI, saving you the trouble.

  Someday, our immortal cyber personas, born from black box AI-created manifestations of our real selves, will be so disappointed in us.

  It’s almost not even possible to not have an online presence somewhere liable for compromise and abuse these days. That is unless you were born and kept off the grid by some weird cult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨StarCraft could return, according to Blizzard president, but not necessarily as an RTS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d love for Blizzard to pursue a genuine passion project. Ask the Microsoft overlords for a few years to put out something not beholden to sales expectations or profit. They can devote a small team to make something that they want to while the rest of the company continues on with its soulless corporate entertainment fabricator to fund the creative projects. You need creative projects to keep the workforce engaged.

  If nothing else, Activision Blizzard was seen as a greedy, profit-driven machine which continually pushed out semi-entertaining products with en emphasis on FOMO micro-transactions and monetization schemes. Blizzard is a shell of what it once was.

  Let them get back to their roots. Let them focus on engagement and fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cities: Skylines 2 "absolutely cannot" have the decade of DLC features that the original game added | GamesRadar+⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I like their DLC policies.

  The base game gets updated over a period of what, 10 years? Core gameplay mechanics which don’t work well or at least don’t make the developers happy are tweaked or revamped all the time. I only really play Stellaris, but the changes to the game throughout the years have kept things interesting.

  The alternative is… not updating things which they don’t like? Perhaps that means mods never break, but then we’re shifting the onus of fixing the game to a third party, who can decide to quit whenever they want and let their (closed source) code deprecate. I’ve seen that kind of thing in Civ and I wasn’t a fan.

  I guess with a studio that has demonstrated a pattern of long-term support for their games, this is what we get.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cities: Skylines 2 "absolutely cannot" have the decade of DLC features that the original game added | GamesRadar+⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like Stellaris is a measurably different game than release. I bought the game on steam like 10 years ago and while it looks largely the same, the mechanics have seemingly had complete makeovers or renovations every few years. As far as I can tell most of the modified mechanics have been introduced to the base game as well, so those without DLC aren’t completely left out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨USB-C teardown with CT scans: Thunderbolt and more⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is actually pretty cool.

  Amazing to see the differences inside of the cables. There’s so much stuff crammed inside of the Apple cable compared to the basic ones.

  It would be nice to see a comparison between two highly featured cables to see if what Apple uses is standard fare or not.

  I know their lightning cables required a small processor for the whole “certified” thing in order for devices to not bring up a little window and let users know that they’re cheap.

  What’s the irony?

  Are we assuming that since this person purchases smoked salmon that they’re immune to, ignorant of, or in favor of lower purchasing power? Are we assuming this is a luxury purchase, so they are not entitled to slumming it up with the rest of us?

  Let this person just enjoy their fish, whatever little amount they’re getting for $10.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨User flooding instance with (mostly) empty communities⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a good way to acquire “legit” power mod status.

  Step 1: make an alt account which squats on community names

  Step 2: have the alt account post open moderator requests on the communities

  Step 3: have your alt appoint your normal account as a moderator. Since your normal account doesn’t have a direct connection to the community creation, it’s just seen as a helpful custodian of the fediverse

  Step 4: ???

  Step 5: profit
