I didn’t ask you for shit. Try reading again, maybe slowly this time

I didn’t ask for a longer reply, and I sure was shit didn’t ask for or deserve the reaction you gave me. Learn how to interact with people.

I don’t even like China. I’m not a communist. Sorry for attempting to introduce some nuance into the conversation. “China is capitalist” is stupidly reductive.

Why are you so angry? Calm the fuck down.

Anything to avoid engaging with the actual content of the comment, I guess.

Wow, great point. I’d never thought about it like that.

China is a capitalist country

It’s not that simple. China’s does have a form of a market economy, but the government has a heavy hand in guiding it.

Also, when it comes to things like building infrastructure and internal planning, they are pretty socialist.

You can build your own OS image that doesn’t have it, but I honestly have no idea how to do that.

Would be nice to have a ujust command to remove packages from the default Bazzite image.

If you’re talking about games, I usually just add the exe to Steam as a non-Steam game and enable proton for it

When bubble pops soon, AI have to become sustainable economically and ecologically.

What? Why??

Yeah, how is the insane water consumption a capitalism problem? Do China’s datacenters not need water?

I was under the impression that FOSS developers do it for the love of the game and not for monetary compensation. They’re literally putting the software out for free even though they don’t need to. They are going to be making this shit regardless.

judge the result, not the workflow.

This kind of seems like bad advice in general. The process to create a result is often extremely important to be aware of. For example, if possible, I would like to not consume products built with slave labor.

Is flat vs. round Earth a culture war in your mind?

No, the LLM was trained on other code (possibly including Lutris, but also probably like billions of lines from other things)

LLMs are not sentient and they’re not learning.

I didn’t know it was that bad. I have seen people using brick to mean they just had to reinstall the OS

bricked a lot of people’s PCs

Did the definition of “brick” in this context change recently, or did secure boot literally destroy people’s hardware?

late stage capitalism

You can just say capitalism

It does take a bit of time to get to that point, and the game is a little frustrating for a while. Which, it sounds weird to say but it’s true: is kind of intentional and parallels the story. I get why people might not like that.

Quick tip if you do play: the game doesn’t really tell you how OP the “press both triggers to steady yourself” move is if you start tipping over left or right. The screen might tell you to hit RT if you start leaning left, but sometimes it’s easier to just hold down both triggers for a second. You can do it while moving too (at least in DS2, been years since I played 1).

Also, play the Definitive Edition if you can.

I honestly loved the game. The asynchronous online stuff hit my dopamine receptors in just the right way. Still haven’t finished the second one though.

That’s kind of part of the point. That’s how the game starts out, but as you build up infrastructure (literally with the help of other human players that you’ll never actually interact with, thank god), traveling gets faster and easier. Until you’re driving delivery trucks down massive highways, and traveling over mountains on zip-line networks.

And that progress parallels the story in some ways.

Sekiro was the first one to hook me. Outstanding game.

Rimworld

Are you suggesting Ghost of Yotei is a “slop game”?

Then I look forward to playing more… Street Fighter 1 and 2 are pretty much completely different genres though, so I dunno. Seemed more like SF2 vs. SF3 or something.

Only played two incomplete runs so far, but am I crazy to think that the game is nearly identical to the first game? It’s the same game!

Man that seems like a lot of work lol

Decided to pick up Requiem after seeing all of the praise, and the game is gorgeous. Won’t make a judgement on story yet, but the game itself looks so nice.

Lorne’s Lore

SMT monster (demon) design makes the rest of them seem like they were drawn by children.

I’ll take Sekiro 2

Don’t even need to remake or remaster. Just make it 60fps, and so many people would buy it again.

I’ll never understand why Sony leaves so much money on the table re Bloodborne

I enjoyed Persona 5, but looking back on it… It’s pretty fucking shallow.

Not even just types of games, but two different games entirely. I’ll try to avoid spoilers (never got to the end of Rebirth yet anyway so I dunno), but the game makes it clear by the time you reach the Shinra building, that this is not the same story that was told in the original game.

They even went as far as to personify this fact in case people were too dense to grasp it.

Ellie and Dina in The Last of Us 2 maybe?

I probably wouldn’t disagree that it’s not exactly ethical, but given the current state of society, it’s kind of at the bottom of a very large list of really really awful, unethical, shit that actually deserves my attention.

Legendary ratio.

Oh you’re using the comma as a decimal point… Still pretty good.

Also, personally, I prefer buying characters for relatively cheap rather than having the usual f2p predatory crap. They should obviously be free for training tho.

As someone who has been playing fighting games on and off since 1995, the idea that non-dlc characters are “f2p predatory crap” is wild to me.

Guilty Gear Strive is a really fucking good fighting game

Yo… I never even thought about that, but it could definitely work

They’re definitely not shit.
