that would have been so cool, but I don’t really know how it coulda worked out, like an isolated horror-scape wouldnt allow for char development or anything.
- Comment on GOG seems to be considering paid membership option 1 hour ago:
Ironically, I feel the community that is most apt to fall in line with their project goals, and want to support this change, is also the community they are currently outcasting. Personally I stopped using GOG when it stopped working easily on my Debian system. I shouldn’t need to use a third party program to get it to work, and I swear it feels like they intentionally made it so WINE no longer works for it.
For a project that is supposedly for open use and game preservation, they don’t make it easy to actually do so.

I edited a few times within the first few minutes of posting it, so it’s also possible that it didn’t Federate the changes, but no I haven’t edited it since the first five ish minutes of the post

You will struggle to find a car newer than like 2015 that doesn’t have a screen, and it’s basically impossible to find one newer than 2018 at least in the US because it’s mandated at the federal level to have a backup camera installed.
you may not find full on infotainment system, there will be some sort of screen involved. But many manufacturers go by the methodology that if they’re installing a screen anyway for backup cam they might as well just go the whole nine yards and have it be a full-on infotainment system

I have to second this, trying to get gog to work on steam is a royal pain in the butt, it’s like they tried to make it incompatible with WINE, unless it’s part of the lutris library you need to hope a launcher like heroic works. I didn’t have much luck with it but I know many did.
- Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #7 4 days ago:
they said it’s not in it due to restrictions on modding and hindering freedoms, I would assume they have no plans at all for having it any. ore as the rest of the post would fall apart otherwise, but yea i guess take it with a grain of salt if you like. I’m hopeful it won’t have it.

- Comment on The specter of a GTA 6 delay haunts the games industry: 'Some companies are going to tank' if they guess wrong, says analyst 1 week ago:
not to mention they decided to block Linux users back in October. I had very little interest in it in the last 6 or 7 years, but I decided when a friend played it I would try to join, just to be met with performance issues and getting kicked offline due to their anticheat. So stupid. It worked for years in Linux, then they just decide to boot it.
I lost what little interest period in anything GTA from that.
- Comment on This whole "Sign in to prove you're not a bot" thing is pissing me off 2 weeks ago:
I mean it’s not corporate bullshit. Yes there are plenty of legitimate uses, but the majority of bad actors are over VPN’s, so hence the statement is true.

meanwhile about time anyone actually followed your complaint, many more would be saying “omg you Americans are so self centered, you aren’t the only ones in the world you know”

- Comment on What’s an acceptable gender neutral replacement for “techbro”? 3 weeks ago:
Oh that sounds good, and it makes sense from a linguistic POV.
- Comment on What’s an acceptable gender neutral replacement for “techbro”? 3 weeks ago:
Considering Tech bro isn’t clearly defined it’s unlikely that there is a proper word for it.
The closest I would say is probably nerd being used as an insult, or a tech trendist, but I’m hoping some other people can chime in as well cuz I might have missed something
- Comment on By canceling town halls, Republicans treat the symptom, not the problem 3 weeks ago:
I mean, the next step past voicing annoyances in town halls is seeing if the state has a recall process to perhaps remove them from power, it would make sense to do since they aren’t serving the people and deciding to hide instead.
- Comment on conflicted about my coworkers' overpunctuality 4 weeks ago:
I agree, but I Ry don’t think complying will be advantageous to OP either. Not nyo do they get less prep time out of it, it’s also removing from the benefits given by the contract.
There’s also a chance that if they’re firm on their action and make it clear they are going to follow the contract, the people running the meeting may stop doing it early days they work, as they need to recap the entire thing once they are on the clock anyway.
Regardless I don’t think OP should let it get to them, my old work was that way, everyone was expected to clock in early and work late, I stood firm and even made some comments on how I habe a life outside of work and I follow my shift, they eventually left me alone.
There’s no winning if you cave and just follow the mantra all you do is come out with less. Regardless of what the rest of the workers think.
- Comment on conflicted about my coworkers' overpunctuality 4 weeks ago:
Who cares what others do if they want to waste their time go ahead, just follow your contract, if it states start at 1230,shift begins at 1235 then show up at 1230 and begin at 1235.Anything they decide to do prior to you is not your problem.
Just get what info you need after the fact. It’s bonus because you also now can waste Amount of time trying to recap what you missed since you wern’t present/working at that time.

- Comment on Balatro wins formal appeal to reclassify poker game as PEGI 12 5 weeks ago:
My issue with the ruling wasn’t the ruling itself, cause I can understand the argument. It was the non-equal enforcement of it. Games with actual gambling in it were rated lower than a game with the same mechanics but no actual monetary aspects. That’s ridiculous. If you want to make poker 18+, then just do it across the board instead of picking and choosing your ratings.

- Comment on YouTube won't let me watch a video unless I sign in... 5 weeks ago:
this is likely youtube’s way of trying to persuade people into making an account, without going public that they are forcing people to make accounts.
I found it does that if im logged out on a VPN, but standard residential IP’s it doesn’t with.

- Comment on Epic sues Fortnite cheater, donates his winnings to charity, forces him to publicly apologise, bans him for life, and all but sends him to his room without dinner 5 weeks ago:
It seems he wasn’t banned from Fortnite, just from participating in tournaments. So he may very well cheat in fortnite again, as his account wasn’t banned.
Being said, nice of them to donate the winnings to charity, half expected them to just keep the money.

I thought about it, but immediately dismissed it cause they would lose their entire user base. It would be far too complex to have whitelist based access, as soon as anyone realized how restrictive it is they would bail
- Comment on Sounds like a problem for them, not me. 1 month ago:
You don’t even have to leave the work Sim at home, a lot of phones allow you to just disable the SIM card in your settings. For example my phone has three SIM card slots in the settings. It has the primary sim, Sim 2 and then it has the esim. Granted I only use sim one and Sim 2 is a SIM card for a pay as you go style carrier that way if I ever get in trouble with my current carrier I can just activate it and go.
Back when I was in retail, Sim 2 was my “work sim” , paid for by the company, when I clocked out for the day I just turned it off
- Comment on Never in my life has it been harder to control my spending impulse than this moment 1 month ago:
So I went to a little bit of a deep dive regarding this, they do require interrupting DNS as part of their Redemption grace period. Furthermore I went into the heck spare website and their current header indicates that despite the fact that it’s in current auction the current owner can still sign in and redeem the domain. Which makes me think that they’re running a more gracious rgp then what is to be expected. So that being said they could just be placing bids on a domain that won’t actually sell.
Being said though apparently according to other comments the infrastructure maintainer of hexpere has been a wall for a while so it’s entirely possible that they just won’t notice it that it will transfer
- Comment on Never in my life has it been harder to control my spending impulse than this moment 1 month ago:
I must not understand it properly, how was the instance functioning during the grace period for the domain? I was under the understanding that the grace period still had the domain name disabled it’s just the owner had the ability to renew it still
then once the grace period ended then it hit redemption period where it’s auctioned.
If the domain expired 1/12, how was hexbear functioning for the last month(or was it not and I just didn’t notice cause I don’t interact with it)
- Comment on PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why 1 month ago:
This doesn’t bode well.
The last time this happened was when Anonymous hacked PSN and took them down for a month after they went after Geohotz(cant remember the spelling) for jailbreaking/reverse engineering the ps3.
Radio silence like before as well. I hope they weren’t breached again.
