I’m not exactly sure - far from it - but I have this theory that we might be witnessing the death throes of religion (via its secularization) even though it doesn’t quite look like it from the outside. All that repressed sexuality really fucks people up and when they get unmoored from it they go into a sort of psychic apoplexy, which is what we are witnessing. I’m grasping at straws here because goddamn is it weird rn.

Yes, when you make it back into the tunnels, the game considers it a finished loop and advances to the next day segment, which is sort of like a save point but you can’t save your progress during a loop and come back to it. When you make it back to your “save point” at the tunnel and the day advances, if you hit escape and exit the game, the game is all “Are you sure you want to do this? All unsaved progress will be lost” - as if there were some further action you could take, but there isn’t. It’s like they had a save function in at one point but decided against it, then never fixed the exit verbiage.

I had the same complaint about Deathloop. If I’m playing the single-player only version, then why do I have to restart the loop if I suddenly have to quit? And why does the game warn me that I will lose all unsaved progress? You literally can’t save!

Then why would Krasnov be doing it?

The problem is not capitalism […] it’s really us expecting shit to be free

No, “we” are not the problem. “We” donated and participated (by making mods) and “we” are responsible for giving the site what value it had. If it had no value, then it couldn’t have been sold.

Quit trying to blame the users for fuck’s sake.

I never used RIF but I came over at the same time due to the fuckery over mods. I quit all my mod positions that day too, no more working for Reddit for free.

Ironically, the older you get, the better video games are for you, flexing your memory and hand-eye coordination.

I don’t understand why it’s difficult to see the appeal. To me it’s just like watching TV, but you can participate.

Edit: I was never big on racing games but boy I loved Excite Truck on Wii back in the day.

So lemmy.ca and piefed.ca have different feeds altogether when I view them, are they two separate things then? I’m not really clear on how communicating freely between them works. I understand that’s how the Fediverse supposedly works, but I have a Mastodon account and I haven’t sorted out any way to post on/read lemmy content with it, so I’m not sure what the integration actually means in practical application? Maybe someone could help me understand.

Being a man is eating soup and being able to say “fuck you, I like soup.”

I can’t imagine how this poor teenager will think of his mother over time.

Not well, this much is certain.

OpenAI said it aims to “create a family of products for the AGI era”

A family of products that no one will be able to buy, sounds great Sam! 👍

There are full-on doctors who are conservative wack jobs though.

It’s been clear for over a decade that the Creation Engine (let’s be honest it’s still Gamebryo) has run its course. It is not a viable option for a modern game anymore. It has architectural limitations that simply prevent a modern gaming experience.

And yet, I’m having a blast with Oblivion Remastered. The problem with Starfield is that the writing sucks and the game loops aren’t fun. Because of these things it’s an unforgivable bore. Oblivion proves you’ll trudge back and forth and deal with all the copied and pasted caves in the world if the story is engaging and the gameplay loop is fun. The dated engine has little to do with Starfield’s problems.

You think this is a half assed remake? To me this feels like a significant upgrade (and not just to graphics) while maintaining the core experience and I’m kinda shocked at how good it is.

And boy it sounds expensive.

Tbh this is what AI used to sound like prior to GPT-2.

AI is turning us into the stupider version of itself.

I’ve seen this movie before.

Algorithms are not universally good and helpful. They should be designed to boost engagement only in that they serve to find content you wouldn’t be able to see otherwise, not to boost engagement at all costs by feeding you things they think you will click on. It’s an important distinction.

Try not caring. The more Reddit users come here the more it’s going to suck.

This is just bot-driven FUD anyway, Lemmy is nothing like old Reddit and it wouldn’t be disqualifying if it was.

Ounce for ounce, this shit is wildly expensive. You could eat far cheaper and not be you know… eating fucking cat food.
