Gotta love Steven Ogg.

IIRC, Openrouter has free Deepseek models. Best I can offer unfortunately.

Say it with me now: “Fuck Randy Pitchford”

UE5 is a shit engine as of now, but what can be expected of a company run by someone just as insufferable? Epic took the advent of tech like DLSS and frame generation as an excuse to disregard performance and functionality.

All you have to do is pick out any UE5 game that exists and Google that + “performance.” Even meeting the recommended specs for Rogue City, I still had to find specialized configs to get the game the game stop crashing on launch, and even then, those specs were based on using upscaling and frame generation. In reality, “recommended” was about 25fps at 1280x720. That used to be, and realistically should be unthinkable.

AND EVEN THEN, the engine’s built-in settings for upscaling and frame generation caused even more crashing. Ultimately, I had to disable it in-game and turn it on in my driver settings because of the busted-ass engine. This is a problem with the state of gaming, and people like Randy, Tim and their supporters are only exacerbating it.

The only good Postal game

Unquestionably shit take.

Edit: Read the article. Really just another shit gaming journalist. Their whole justification for why the rest of the series isn’t good basically boils down to “I only wanna play boomer shooters.”

Peter Thiel is a major backer of Brave. Additionally, Brave has done other scummy things, like injecting their own referral IDs on some pages and trading user user privacy for money by unblocking trackers from companies that pay them.

I believed the same things… in around 2014. By internet standards, that’s an absolutely ancient perspective, and absolutely untrue these days. My main browser is Floorp, a Firefox fork, and I’ve found a total of one website that actually doesn’t work, which was just a huge directory listing.

In most cases, Spider-Man has no natural webs, and instead uses web shooters and a special web fluid he invented. That said, in pretty much every case, he also has fairly extreme super strength, to the point that it’s revealed within the comics that he’s almost always holding back.

She bullied you and threatened you? It means you’re an easy mark to her. Someone she knows she can use as she pleases and discard when she no longer has a need.

Realistically speaking, why would anyone think it’s odd to defend something they use and/or enjoy? That doesn’t really point to anything abnormal.

But does it cause this when when used exclusively for RP gooning sessions?

Well, if that’s the case, every public SearxNG instance I’ve checked out seems to have the same bad settings.

Results seemed better than SearxNG, but dev seems like a POS.

Gimp, for example, is far superior to Photoshop.

Except it really isn’t, unfortunately. As someone who fucking hates adobe and Photoshop, GIMP falls far short. Photoshop is made to work as part of a toolkit, and GIMP isn’t interested in any form of compatibility. Take, for example, an issue that’s been around (and in the bug tracker) since the release of 2.10. Something about the way GIMP handles colors means that most programs can’t use alpha channels output by GIMP correctly, and see it as having much higher contrast than it’s meant to. The stance seems to be that this is intended behavior. However, this is clearly not the case, as even when only using GIMP, re-importing the image shows that, even though the contrast is correct, data was still lost.

Brotherhood follows the original manga and picks up after this story, so you don’t see it in Brotherhood, but it happened.

I remember talking about how greedy Paradox is on Reddit a couple years ago (before Spez went full mask-off), and you’d think I personally slapped every one of those basement-dweller’s moms. I have never in my life seen a general gaming community go so hard to bat in defense of $1000 of DLC comprised largely of character packs, and I hope to never see it again

On the subject of what a steaming fucking load UE5 is… Well, in short, Robocop should be one of the best games I’ve ever played, but it’s a barely functional disaster and that’s entirely the fault of Epic. The game itself is amazing, but the engine is on par with unpatched Fallout New Vegas.

That’s not what I was meaning. Last I saw, games were reindexed, but only in the case that they’re made entirely freely available.

Are NSFW games still totally unable to be monetized? I’ve been recovering from surgery for a while and haven’t been able to check anything.

If the dominant player is an OS that supports a total of seven phones, the entirety of which are strictly Google branded, were fuckin’ doomed.

Is mansplaining short for manualsplaining?
