If you have a Steam Deck, there’s also a Decky plugin that integrates it right into Steam so you can see how long the game will take right from the launch page. That and the ProtonDB plugin that shows Linux compatibility are super handy.
I haven’t seen it yet, but one review said it was one of the most unintentionally funny movies of the year.
Also Ridley Scott is doing a hilarious press tour for it.
Scott was informed of some less than stellar French reviews of his film – French GQ called it “deeply clumsy” and “unintentionally funny” – to which Scott replied with the following solid gold banger: “The French don’t even like themselves.”
But don’t think that insulting an entire country is enough for Scott. Speaking to the Sunday Times’s Jonathan Dean last weekend, he also reserved some ire for historians, some of whom have suggested that Napoleon might not be the most rigorously accurate film ever made. Scott responded by addressing the entire historian community. “Excuse me, mate, were you there?” he raged. “No? Well, shut the fuck up then.”
IMO the one thing they can’t escape is themselves. I saw an illustration of one of these survival bunkers, which went ten floors down, with the bottom floor being a huge armory. My first thought was, so it’s going to be nine storeys packed to the brim with entitled sociopaths, sitting on a massive pile of guns?
I’m pretty sure I’ll last longer outside with the cannibals lol
Only this, two more remasters of part 2, then the third game and two more remasters of that and then I can get the whole thing on Steam!
Tomorrow: Songtradr joins the Koch Media family
I assume like every other country’s big climate plans they’ll announce it, do nothing and then back pedal on it 2 years from now.
Credit for goals hit, not just stated.
Capitalism is so exhausting. Can’t they just make a lighbulb that changes colour and leave it at that?
Yeah but just the amount of games I own on Steam already (not to mention the Steam Deck), if all that ended up getting enshittified by Microsoft it’d be like having to start over from scratch pretty much.
Also they seem really averse to Linux for some reason.
I do worry about what might happen when he gets too old/decides to step down though.
If Microsoft did somehow end up buying them I might have to just nope out of gaming altogether. Or just take to the high seas I guess.
Also from what I’ve been reading, it sounds like nobody knows how their measuring system works, they just kind of tell you how many installs you had and you have to take their word for it.
Oh yeah sorry, that wasn’t very clear! I meant we’re absolutely going to cheap out and kick the can down the road again lol.
I’m no expert but I’m going to go out on a limb and say:
We cheaped out on infrastructure decades ago, knew it was probably a bad idea but kicked the can down the road so it’d be someone else’s problem one day and now that’s us.
The solution is to fix thing properly and not cheap out and kick the can down the road again, which is absolutely what we’re going to do.
Newer laptops often charge through USB-C I believe, so that should presumably work the same way as charging a phone. Whether one of those solar phone chargers could generate enough to charge a laptop I have no idea, but if anyone wants to try it I’d be interested to hear the results lol
The other comments are quite negative here, but I do kind of enjoy how Musk seems to think he’s like this hilarious, popular dude while he’s sitting in his office talking to nazis on the social media platform he had to buy so people couldn’t block him, and then every time he shows up at an event where he’s exposed to actual normal people he just gets loudly booed out of the room lol.
Je vais bien, et vous?
They’ll know I’m ~1800 days into French and still shit at it.
The shame!
Yeah I was gonna say, there’s nothing wrong with the technology itself per se, just the way it’s being used/exploited.
The fact that things like Netflix/Uber/AirBnB are useful and good value when they first come out and then turn to shit later shows that they can work and be successful, they just get greedy and go sideways.
I mean Windows 11 right now harvests a lot of data about your PC, so I don’t think it’s a stretch exactly.
I always wondered if maybe they’re everywhere, but we just don’t know how to look for them yet? Like an uncontacted tribe surrounded by wi-fi signals or something.
