Hmm…

Paired with the top hat, the bow tie is better.

But I’d like to see other options, such as a cowboy hat and bolo tie, a scarf, a “dixie cup” sailor hat and neckerchief, a casual ascot, etc.

It’s a shame it’s still based on a proprietary game engine. I look forward to someday when Skyblivion and Skywind game assets can run in some future version of OpenMW that has feature parity with the Skyrim engine.

Welp, that was just as ominous and Chinese curse-y as “prepare for unforseen consequences.” Not sure I’m a fan of it applied IRL. 😬

Drozana Station in Star Trek Online

Yeah, that’s bullshit. You can tell by the fact that they don’t take down videos from big corporations when some nobody trolls with a fraudulent DMCA request. They only do it when it’s the other way around.

or forcing people ti find private servers to play with each other like in the good old days.

No shit, Sherlock. That’s exactly what I was advocating for.

I wouldn’t call it “forcing,” though – that’s another strawman. It’s “allowing” the option.

That’s a strawman argument. First of all, plenty of people would be happy to self-host a game for their friends, if they were still allowed the option. Second, even people who want to run a public server would still be free to ban people (for whatever reason they wanted). We’re not talking about being forced to tolerate antisocial fuckwads.

There are no time constraints… of any significance

I find the length of the day to be a huge constraint, especially when mining.

That feeling when it’s midnight and you’re still trying to get deeper in the mine.

Factorio has only ever gone up in price, and the new expansion costs more than the base game did.

I reject the presupposition that season passes can ever be “proper.” What’s “proper” is buying a game once, receiving a game that’s finished and complete, and owning the whole thing forever.

This comment calculated just under 1.5 Pb (yes, petabytes)!

And on top of that, pretty much all the platforms, even all the way down to this one, are censored in at least one increasingly-relevant way.

He also voiced Kurn in the MMORPG Star Trek Online.

Same here, although that’s probably because it’s the only one I played extensively as a kid. I always thought the Atlantica/Aquatica course was incredibly cool.

That’s apparently because the 5800X3D was discontinued last month. The 5700X3D is newer even though it’s slightly slower, so it hasn’t been discontinued yet.

(Incidentally, I found this all out a few days ago and decided I’d better finally upgrade my 1700X while I had the chance, so I’ve got a 5700X3D sitting on my desk waiting to be installed as I type this. Microcenter has them on sale for $180 right now, BTW.)

Probably not that new, at least including manufacturing emissions.

Best I’m willing to guess without research is “newer than mid-1990s,” since I’m pretty sure those are outperformed by <1W microcontrollers these days.

Or until the new stuff is so much more efficient that continuing to run the old stuff is no longer worth the electricity.

(With the calculation including manufacturing emissions for the new stuff, BTW.)

I can see why the ESA would want to defend IP

You shouldn’t, because the entire concept is a lie.

But how feasible is it to have a recording of every single time

More feasible than it ever has been before, if not for the evil motherfucking copyright gatekeepers who would steal it all from us!

Yes! They announced the plan before they actually did it; they had plenty of time to realize how pissed off it made everybody.

Bullshit, Bruce Nesmith. You’re just a dishonest coward trying to absolve yourself of blame.

Edit: the paid horse armor was extremely controversial among gamers at the time, and plenty of people prophetically warned about what the consequences were going to be. Bethesda damn well knew or should have known exactly what Pandora’s box they were opening.

Imagine jumping through all those hoops because Microsoft sabotages your property against you, when your could just use Linux and have it respect your rights as its owner instead.

A significant portion of it is also literally about making friends with the NPCs.

Stardew Valley

He’s a great guy

He’s the eighth guy, he is!

Paid proprietary software will too; the likes of Adobe and VMWare prove that.

Look, if the choice is “use Ubuntu because it’s easy and officially supported by Steam” or "give up and stuck with Windows (or even worse, a console) would you really suggest the latter?

“By loading this comment, you agree to give @[email protected] one million US dollars, payable in full within one week.”

See? Anybody can make up unconscionable bullshit. The extent to which Sony’s terms are enforced is only a measure of how many corrupt judges need to be gotten rid of.

Now, pay up!

I didn’t know this was something I agreed to when I bought my console.

That’s 'cause it wasn’t! Sony is “exceeding authorized access” – a felony under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act – but won’t be prosecuted for $ome rea$on.

Anything including Ubuntu will be perfectly fine. Canonical’s shenanigans that us Free Software people like to bitch about are entirely irrelevant to new Linux users.

Upvote for spite!

I remember when Star Trek Online redid the map for Deep Space Nine and it was so much better because it stopped being comically large. The downside is that it’s a little bit possible to bump into geometry (in particular, the spiral stairs are a little awkward), but the change was 100% worth it.

(They also made a huge improvement re-doing Earth Spacedock, but it wasn’t a location we were intimately familiar with from TV and they changed the layout significantly, so the wow factor wasn’t as directly attributable to fixing the scale.)

Too bad they seem unlikely to fix Starbase 39-Sierra, Deep Space K7, or any of the other older social hubs any time soon.

LOL, no they won’t. They’ll just make you throw out your nail clippers and water, while routinely missing shit that’s actually dangerous.

Who cares about Rockstar’s opinion of “grounds?” Valve should simply do it anyway, and kick Rockstar off Steam entirely if it bitches about it.

Breaking Linux support after-the-fact ought to be grounds for a full refund (no matter how much time or hours of play have passed). Valve ought to allow such refunds and forcibly debit Rockstar’s Steam publisher account, whether Rockstar likes it or not.

Refusing to re-release existing games should be.

…what?? Lol

I agree, saying that not continuing to make a copyrighted work available should be a crime is ludicrous.

What failing to keep such works available actually should do is simply immediately cause the copyright to expire and for them to become Public Domain.

What happens if you boot it with only the Linux SSD attached?
