If they really try to outprice the common user in an attempt to drive people to subscription based services, I will simply not go with that - I’d rather just keep playing what I have. And I think I have already enough games until the end of my life - damn, even my PS2 collection can keep me entertained for a decade.

Thats just the first round of IP law vs AI Corpos. I’m really interested if this process will fix the broken copyright system or fix the AI Corpos - one of the two has to give.

I like it a lot, because it’s clean and lets me switch between the two indexes with one click, and it’s pretty fast and responsive. It’s been my main search while i was a mullvad client, and i dearly missed it after switching my VPN provider. I’m happy they decided to open it up for the public.

I currently use mullvad leta, which uses either the google or brave index. It was only for their VPN users before, but they opened it up to everyone. It’s a nice, simple interface - a “no bullshit”-experience.

Right now i play “A Game about digging a Hole”. I feel very dwarfy rn.

This channel is really nice!

Another recommendation i can give is Charlatan Wonder, who specializes in the quite fuzzy “Immersive Sim” category: https://www.youtube.com/@CharlatanWonder/videos

Don’t you think after 5 months without oversight who exactly has access to that server that the difference between this and a random s3 bucket is nearly nil? But you are right, in the light of integrity the title should reflect the facts as they present themselves currently.

The votes on the posting itself should reflect if the content is worth your time. I’m not even American and I have a really bad feeling after reading the article, but it’s better to know than being in the dark, and the article itself is full of details which make it pretty reasonable to believe it’s the truth.

Mr Borges really brought the receipts on this one, and he is one of the heros of the american people that will probably pay dearly for his courage, and he still did what’s right.

I’m happy to see that all around the games industry and the surrounding areas like game journalism the value of unions is rediscovered. Work to rule is very effective against these insidious tactics of one layoff round after another while announcing record profits, because if noone cares that work piles up because of not enough hands, it hurts the owners in the only way they understand - in their finances.

This greedy thinking of only next quarter’s numbers must end.

Yeah, the steam release is more of a “support the dev for some goodies” type of thing :-) Dwarf fortress on steam is also paid

you can download it from github for free - missing the PC improvements like more quickslots and a larger inventory screen that can stay open while dungeoneering, but it’s the full game: https://github.com/00-Evan/shattered-pixel-dungeon/releases

specifically those improvements are for the paid steam release.

It would be wise to do the same with stuff like working hours too, to stop the “attendance epidemic” that is so harmful to people that they have a word for “death by overworking”. But regarding this one, as long as it stays on a level of a PSA that’s fine by me.

Clippy already was a big step in the wrong direction from Microsoft, i’m not gonna celebrate mistakes of the past because they seem benign in comparison to todays mistakes.

The Fitgirl Repack is the 2020 version. There is a portable version released by Digitalzone (Archive size 9.49GB, based on the online-fix.me p2p release), which works online, but still needs a microsoft account according to release notes (so a burner account is preferable). Haven’t tried it, but the Digitalzone portables i did try in the past all worked well so i expect the same here.

There are analog clocks that move the minute hand only when the next minute starts. But to be honest, you might profit from a little less rigidity in your “time usage” - it’s good for your mental health to not plan everything down to the minute. If i make a private appointment, i try to set time windows of 10-15 minutes for meetups; i aim for the beginning of the window, and if i get delayed it’s of no consequence, and for longer delays i would message anyways.

Can you imagine that it’s not so long ago that people called a phone number that told you what time it will be at the next signal tone so you can set your clock?

Therapy while being on ketamine i think. Seems to work pretty well in particularly stubborn depression.

edit: DONT just jump into the k-hole before you head to your therapist. Find a therapist who is willing to do that before.

The review does sound pretty dope tho, like a mixture of dishonored, disco elysium and enhanced telltale-game. like you i will keep my expectations low, but what i read in the hands-on review sounded better than expected from a game that has been through dev-hell and back.

I wouldn’t laugh. Those people fulfill a basic human need in a way they feel safe with - probably because this safety is missing from their life. It’s not healthy to be so attached to LLMs, but to become so attached they must feel pretty isolated. And LLM’s are a lot more interactive and responsive than Severus Snape, and he had lots of women “channeling” him.

I can fully understand? The average human, from my perspective and lived experience, is garbage to his contemporaries; and one is never safe from being hurt, neither from family or friends. Some people have been hurt more than others - i can fully understand the need for exchange with someone/something that genuinely doesn’t want to hurt you and that is (at least seemingly) more sapient than a pet.

we’re too old it seems
