Yeah and even though the Steam Deck seems as good as a handheld can be, my phone/iPad stream games with a lot less heat and noise. If you have a gaming rig already it seems like the logical choice to stream.

Calculating that: it’s about $1300/month, in 1996 dollars, which with inflation would be $2600 today. And you almost certainly refinanced in the 2000s when interest rates dropped like a stone. This is what my parents paid for the same neighborhood I live in.

Mine is $3600 and I “lucked out” with a 2.65% interest rate. The difference is mostly because the home values increased 10x in that time (vs. the 2x of inflation).

People are already doing this, which is making it impossible to refurbish computers: https://youtu.be/T6eiFyJMWgM

400ish found out of 10 million is…incredibly pathetic, lol.

I mean gotta have an AI to match the concentration camps

BG3 being DRM-free and playable indefinitely also demonstrates that you can have plenty of success and not break your own product to do so.

I know peertube is the fancy right way to self-host videos, but does anyone just post movie files directly to their website anymore? Seems pretty easy to throw mp4s into a folder on your web server…

I’ll watch other people play it on YouTube for free

Crack taken away from children, what of value was lost again?

And nothing of value was lost.

I would cum and never stop if the D&D license holders changed their minds about allowing custom campaigns for BG3

You still gotta use their shitty NVIDIA experience app (bloated with ads that make NVIDIA money when you open it), and you buying a used NVIDIA card increases demand (and thus prices) on all NVIDIA cards.

If you are a gamer and not doing AI stuff then buying a non-NVIDIA card is entirely an option.

Yeah I’m guessing you can retell “in the land of the soviets” if you wanted and use Tintin’s design from those first strips, but every other story is likely still off-limits. Would have to be a completely original story using the character.

And some of the favorites like Captain Haddock, etc, weren’t in Soviets.

Shits getting so nasty it could become the plot of a post-capitalist dystopian adventure game

Let’s see how the metaverse is doing now…oh…

Wait, the guardian isn’t your character?

Feels like all the devs who left id software and started their own companies back in the day

They should abandon all pretenses of restraint and just add a literal whale mount for $500

Yeah but is that technically purchasing the game, or just a license? Not that they have any means of enforcement if it’s DRM-free but you still might not technically own it.

Yeah! Why doesn’t an AI summarize this for me?

It’s apparently a license restriction that prevents this. Damn WotC.

Yeah but if you wanna buy say, Stellaris, with all its DLCs, you’re looking at at least $100-$200 depending on the sales. You pay for that bigger game.

Reid characterized the mistakes that won attention as the result of an internet-wide audit that wasn’t always well intended.

Oh yeah, there was a conspiracy to embarrass Google with off-the-wall questions like “how do I thicken pizza sauce?”

Why are these corporate schmucks unable to take any blame?

The game just wasn’t very good

I like copilot in VSCode but MS screenshotting my shit can fuck right off

But 100 years we’ll all be mole people without eyes!

Same as it ever was.

It’s just a small drop of wine in a very, very large bucket of drugs.

Fear of a Flat Planet

Asheron’s call also still lives through third party servers. I always like it better.

Yeah…no. It’s objectively worse in many ways. Student on a budget? Hobbyist? Gimp will get the job done…but then again so will Pixlr 99% of the time. It’s gotta get a whole lot better before production houses seriously consider switching.

Or: the library

Fucked a tiefling with my dragon penis, 10/10

I’m pretty sure Lemmy has also gone down a lot recently based on the number of upvotes things are getting

What’s this from?
