  • The most positive response listed was for "Dynamic difficulty adjustment" (but still, only 25% has any positive response). On one hand, that sounds okay because it's a mostly invisible change that could smooth out a single player experience. But the more I thought about, I wondered what generative AI would be doing that isn't already possible with normal programming logic.

    Even assuming it did work, and was able to turn the balance knobs to make things easier or harder, it would destroy our common understanding of challenges in games. Being skilled enough to defeat Malenia would have no meaning if the fight was constantly rebalancing itself. People already brag about how they defeated Radhan before he was nerfed, now imagine that for every boss, oh, and there's no objective way to know which version of the fight is the "real" one. As with everything genAI related, it turns real expressions of our humanity and turns it into meaningless mush.

  • I had used Ubuntu in the past, but ran into some wifi driver issues when installing it on my new laptop, fast forward a few years, and I was ready to give Linux another go. I read that Bazzite was pre-optimized for gaming, and I figured everything else I want to do should be relatively easy in comparison.

    I've been impressed by how clean and no nonsense the interface is, and is just a solid daily driver OS. I've been slowly learning the nuances of what it means to be an Atomic Desktop, but I still get confused about the proper way to install things if they can't be found in the flatpak discovery tool. Pretty sure I have two versions of Chrome installed right now. That's not a problem with Bazzite though, just a new-to-linux problem.

  • I read at the same speed that the words would be spoken aloud. My SO tells me this is quite slow. I can force myself to read faster, but I find that the color of language is lost when I don't include the right pauses and intonations.

  • Rocket Knight Adventures - A mascot action/platformer featuring an opossum knight with a jetpack. The artwork and soundtrack are gorgeous, and the rocket charge attacks feel awesome. The bosses are all extremely creative and often have multiple stages, including, an evil train, a water snake that you fight while jumping between the foreground and background, a giant crab, a gradius style spaceship battle, and an epic rock-em-sock-em robot battle in giant mechs.

  • I have cut off most mainstream social media from my life, also starting from the Reddit exodus. What strikes me from this post is the idea you are pursuing data privacy as a way to be "superior" to other people, and not only that, you separate yourself from this person by calling them a character. I dunno, it sounds like you are doing things for the wrong reasons.

    I joined the fediverse because I saw the business models of the mainstream sites becoming more and more abusive and manipulative towards their users. Staying on those platforms just felt distasteful. If others want to stay there, that's up to them. Weilding my social media cred over others like a cudgel just isn't a factor.

    This may be a point where you reevaluate what is important to you. You'll drive yourself crazy if you try to adhere to what every privacy advocate online tells you to do. I recommend trying to make good privacy choices. When you have energy for it. And encourage others to do the same.

  • My SO and I have been obsessed with this game for the past few weeks now. Unlike any other game I've played, this one makes you feel smart for remembering small details about things you spotted earlier, or when you look back on a note you took that is suddenly relevant.

    That said, we are at a point now where we know roughly what we have to do, but we still need to slog through multiple days to get the rooms we want to appear.

    We've built enough starting bonuses that reaching 46 isn't really a challenge, so now the drafting just feels like a slog.

    I think from here on out we're going to be looking up hints just to get to the finish line. [Edit: spoiler tags aren't working for me, removing them for now]

  • Thank you for posting this! I had a vague recollection there was something scummy about Brave, and I was surprised to see it recommended in so many of the "Which browser should I use?" posts. It's really handy to have a chronical of bullshit like this to point to when it comes up

  • I tried this out by searching for Amazon, and if this website was all you knew, you'd come away thinking it was a rather left leaning company, with a donation distribution of 68% Democrat and 32% Republican. That may or may not be true, but it ignores all of the hostile working conditions and anti-union behavior they are responsible for.

    Just saying, don't rely solely on this app for evaluating companies.

  • I'm not saying you have to like Seinfeld or anything, but I wouldn't consider it embarrassment comedy. It's more about the gang being a bunch of sociopaths, like an early version of IASIP.

  • When you open the site via the Gmail app, go to the ... menu in the upper right. You should have an option to open the site in your default browser, which should keep your session active when you get the code.
