Outer wilds: at what point should I give up?
  • Can't stand trying to pilot a spaceship on controller myself. Flight Sims were invented on mouse and keyboard, so I'm a little disheartened that Mobius didn't implement dynamic thrust for keyboards, so that they can stop recommending controllers for what is essentially a space sim game.

  • Alec Baldwin's manslaughter trial over Rust shooting has been dismissed
  • Very bizarre. I didn't watch the 3 hour video because it was a 3 hour video. But, it seems like a very uncharacteristic rant of his, compared to all of his previous videos. Hell, even the latest one, which is the one I linked, is just showcasing all of the sheer number of preventable and careless movie accidents, and is very well put together. The comments were completely different to what you see now.

    I see too many of these expose videos popping up on a weekly basis. Whose next? Babish? Civvie 11? Day 9?

    At this rate, we're not going to have any YouTubers left to watch.

  • Supporting Palestine Helped the Left Win in France and Britain. Will Democrats Learn From It?
  • People are sick of far-right agendas polluting the world and their countries, and realize that racism and isolationism isn't the answer.

    You might find this surprising, but elections aren't won based on foreign policy issues.

  • New Alzheimer's Nasal Spray Clears Toxic Tangles in Human Neurons And Mice
  • Well, I'm certainly glad there a nasal spray that deals with the toxic mice tangles in my nose.

  • Supporting Palestine Helped the Left Win in France and Britain. Will Democrats Learn From It?
  • This sounds like a horribly reductive take. Correlation does not mean causation.

  • Two-Thirds of Americans — Including a Majority of Biden Backers — Want Biden to Drop Out
  • Except that's not how Presidental succession works. If Biden dies, Harris gets the job, not a lifetime GOP yes-woman like Amy Coney-Barrett. The RBG comparison makes no sense.

    Replacing the incumbent Presidental candidate a few months before the election is political suicide. No election has ever been won that way, and it's sure as fuck not a good time to start experimenting with bizarre and dangerous ideas.

  • Introverts use more concrete language than extraverts | BPS
  • Shitty sample sizes are the majority of "research" nowadays. It's sad how hard it is to find any even in the triple digits.

  • ATARI acquires INTELLIVISION brand
  • Calling the ATARI computers a "bomb" is a bit disingenuous. The C64 and Amiga computers were more popular, but ATARI was still selling theirs by the millions as a close second.

  • Atari Acquires Intellivision Brand
  • Is that the video that uses a deceptive title on a different subject, only to rant about Tommy for the rest of the video for 3 hours?

  • Slack users horrified to discover messages used for AI training
  • Do you know how to break the cycle? Use open-source software. Use standard protocols that aren't locked behind some greedy corporation.

    Why not take the features from Discord/Slack and integrate it into a new IRC or Jabber protocol?

  • Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone Can’t Let Go Of Stardew Valley
  • And have it end up like Starbound? No way.

  • [Gamers Nexus] Don't Buy a "Gaming Chair" - Office Chair vs. Gaming Chair Round-Up & Review
  • Every single office chair I buy for myself and my family is followed by an immediate purchase of rollerblade wheels for that chair. Standard office wheels suck, and replacing them is really easy. They glide so well.

  • After eight years, i resigned as a moderator of my community
  • It's like that Woodstock concert in the 2000s. You can't just recapture magic like that by repetition.

    Spontaneity is spontaneous.

  • The truth about linux having 15% market share in India.
  • Microsoft spent millions of dollars and clout to lock their OEM out of offering Linux on the desktop. There's a good reason why you don't see Linux PCs on the shelves of Walmart.

  • Why sharing the tech wealth is really important
  • Oh, you mean something like GPL, which has been responsible for more technological freedom than any other concept in the past 30 years, except maybe the internet? Even the Internet was built on open standards and public RFCs, with billions and billions of Internet-bound Linux devices.

    Let's not treat this like it's some new problem. The solution is right there. Just pick it up and use it, and thank your local OSS developer for actually maintaining the other software you use.

  • ‘Watch Dogs’ Movie In The Works At New Regency With ‘Talk To Me’ Breakout Sophie Wilde Starring
  • Sorry, you don't get to name drop A24 to try to sneakily connect it with a very not-A24 studio.

  • Why Reddit is ‘walking a tightrope’ with its IPO
  • At what point do we declare that it already fell off the tightrope?
