There is also the old german documentary.

I wish they’d replace Tim Sweeney with AI. Would genuinely have better takes on most topics, too. Sigh.

Yeah that shit is like selling heroine specifically to vulnerable people in depressing phases of their life. But wth gambling ads and dark patterns in video games we somehow accept it. 😕

what is holding a banana for an hour

Pretty weird, tbh.

I’ll stick with the strongest superpower of them all, I am Cables Never Tangle Man!

… that then gets applied to everyone within 100 metres of you on top of yourself.

Especially if you watch people game there’s 0 chance you missed the big ones this year looking at the awards, those being CO:E33, Hades 2, Silksong, DS2, Split Fiction and MKW. They were all streamers and youtubers were doing (and kinda still are with Silksong) for months.

Where were you looking then?

Not at any of the 159 positive reviews opencritic has aggregated? Not at any of the >5000 positive Steam user reviews just in the first week, either? Neither any of the ~60 positive reviews on GOG, either?

Where exactly did you look?

Oh wow, you entirely missed Death Stranding 2, Hades 2, Hollow Knight Silksong and Clair Obscur? The latter basically took over the entirety of all gaming discussion and news for ~2 months.

I mean not a bad thing in itself, helps to play games not just read about them. Just surprised that in particular CO:E33 went by you, my grandma heard about it even though she could not associate the name because mainstream TV news had a short bit about the music in it.

I dunno. It’s a very well-made game, but also kinda… understandable not on the same level as Hades 2, Silksong of Clair Obscur.

Plus it got a GOTY nomination or two, I bet. Which just doesn’t put it high enough though.

I wish we had a pricing-point for the VR headset. I’m still considering getting a Quest III and break it open a bit, since the hardware is so damn good. This seems marginally under it (monochrome instead of full-color etc) but running SteamOS instead of Android sounds amazing.

But I’d need more information on it first - and granted, knowing if ever it releases over here. 😅

I’ll definitely get the new controller if possible though. Still rocking my original, and it’s still the best way to play mouse-centric games on the couch, I prefer it over a lapboard with an actual mouse.

Anyone got a favorite “more involved” version of this?

Or more specifically, how is the new Puzzle Quest, if you’ve tried it? Is it good, unlike all the mobile-centric later PQ games that came out over the years? Because until now HuniePop/HuniePop2 were still the best Bejeweled variant, IMO, but I’ve not tried PQ yet.

Ah I failed to find that. Thanks, that worked! ✨

For the Kindle versions (yeah I still got one, I know, but not tossing a functional device!) that’s the .mobi I presume? And how do I install that as a proper new dictionary? Does it auto-recognize that if I just copy it in the main folder?

Same. I’m 43, and it mostly takes learning that you’re no long 20-something. I can do everything, I just have to do it more slowly, more sparingly and give myself the time both physically and mentally to recuperate.

Yeah it’s pretty lame.

I will say in its benefit that if there is to be AI-summaries as answers to search queries, this has the right ideas: List your sources atop, even have a separate sources tab, include direct quotes where possible (though this feature is weird, I don’t always get it, maybe topic-specific).

I still don’t like it (just link me to the bloody source instead) but I know a ton of people who explicitly want those AI-summaries as their answers, and this at least exposes what was used to create the answer.

Rubbish, but on a conceptual level doing better.

Oh that’s a fork that’s explicitly about having less options for the user then?

That reminds me of a friend back in WoW who said she once broke off a relationship after coming home from a holiday and finding out her boyfriend had become her girlfriend.

Yeah we already established in the premise I find them attractive. Of course I would.

I think the fact that they are very very glacially slowly delivering on things at least, all the while self-discovering software development instead of learning it, that aggravates me even more. Bloober Team could finish this faster and more competently than these clowns…
