What game is improved the most by mods?
  • I'm not sure its fair to say "most improved" but I do believe that Deus Ex is a game everyone should play, but I do not believe it is truly playable without some content mods to get the game running properly on modern hardware.

  • Twitter US ad sales plunged 59%, and internal forecasts are grim, NYT reports
  • There still isn't a great competitor for access to certain groups that I followed on Twitter (i.e. legal analysts and real time local news). Thankfully, many of them have migrated to Mastodon, but there is still a bit of a gap and a lot of people are still pointing back to Twitter. I blame inertia more than anything for those groups remaining and it will take some more time for them to fall off of the platform.

    That all said, I left the platform after Musk started banning journalists and the flight tracker and I've not really missed it at all.

  • Tell us about unpopular games you love, or even just appreciate some aspects of, contrary to the inteenet hivemind?
  • I played a bit of Outer Wilds but I got lost and then stopped paying for XGP. I should pick it up next time its on sale somewhere.

  • Tell us about unpopular games you love, or even just appreciate some aspects of, contrary to the inteenet hivemind?
  • When I played Obra Din, I got vibes of Tacoma and I wish someone would take another shot at that style of game in space with the depth/mystery element of Obra Din.

  • What the hell are Digital Humanities?
  • There's been a lot of effort in creating intersectional degrees between CompSci and other fields. Yes a CS could do the analysis work, but they likely do not have the humanities driven education to construct the requirements for the analysis. Developing intersectional training can help develop a better bridge of understanding between the research design (i.e. the requirements) and the analysis or experiment design (i.e. the implementation). It's been a while since I was in school, but while I was leaving, this intersectional/interdisciplinary approach was growing in popularity, which led to the development of these sort of joint or dual degrees such as CS & Astronomy or Biology or Journalism.

  • what are you playing this week?
  • I am deep into the System Shock remake, and I am absolutely loving it.

  • What the hell are Digital Humanities?
  • According to the Wiki entry, beyond what KelsonV said, it also includes using digital techniques in the scholarship or analysis of humanities subjects. I imagine using generative models to explore how language develops in early societies or use audio analysis tools to study folk music.
