I can say that personally, I do hesitate if I see a game with mixed reviews and will at least check out why people don’t like it. And if steam says a high volume of “irrelevant” (or whatever word they use) reviews are not shown, I’ll click through to see what they are about to decide for myself if they are relevant or just losers whining about “woke” shit.

I’m wondering if the first one needs to go from a game I recommend highly (or upvote recommendations of if I’m too late) to one I no longer acknowledge because the same assholes probably get paid from each of those sales, too.

No, it wouldn’t be safe to say that because if the next guy just prints money like it’s 2020, inflation will get crazy again and that cash you saved will be worth less than the stock you got rid of.

Didn’t they do one about nestle fucking over Africa by pushing baby formula and then enshiyifying it to the point babies were dying from malnutrition?

That child might conform! Only when they don’t bow to the powers that want to use them is it ok to kill them!

From a programming pov, a definition of AI could be an algorithm or construct that can solve problems or perform tasks without the programmer specifically solving that problem or programming the steps of the task but rather building something that can figure it out on its own.

Though a lot of game AIs don’t fit that description.

Oh wow, if steam is still 32 bit, forget the offshoots, fedora itself won’t be worth using. I’m on fedora but if I can’t run steam, then I’m finding a new distro.

On the flip side, what’s the reason they want to drop 32-bit support, given steam depends on it, which they should understand means it’s integral to the size of their current userbase?

Danish millennials and gen xers who work in retirement or old age support roles should change careers. And zers and alphas getting into it should consider hiatuses.

Oooh ok, I was surprised and confused for a second.

Yeah but game pass has the massive flaw of requiring windows to run.

Upon discovering roller coaster fossils, future intelligence might conclude that we must have had vertical communities with intricate mass transportation throughout to quickly get from floor 40 to B2 and that residents had balls of steel and impressive grip strength once undeniable proof of loops is shown. Because if there’s only one station, riders would need to either exit or enter while it was still moving.

War in Iran isn’t exactly defense. Deliberations should include the offense secretary.

Feels kinda like a game of crusader kings iii where you’ve gained some territory but worry that your opponent’s allies might send a large army at any time, plus your vassals are rumbling about revolt, so you want to get that war finished asap but don’t have enough of an advantage to force them to accept your terms.

Except it’s OK when it’s crusader kings because that’s just a fucking video game and people aren’t really dying on both sides for your ego or power hungry imperial bullshit.

I think Reji is cooking something worthwhile

but he just drags it out so much. Or maybe that’s just wishful thinking based on fan theories I’ve read on reddit, since some of them are pretty good and might end up better than what Reji has in mind. Like he’s deliberately dragging out the chapters, there’s no doubt about that, but it’s hard to say if that’s also the point of the plot or if he’s just stretching out a good idea as much as possible.

I actually caught up on the infamous chapter 380, waited one week for 381, then decided I’m not doing this every week and put it on hold on comick.io with the intent of coming back in a year or so maybe to catch up on what happens in the next week or so after 381 lol.

The artwork is top tier so at least it’s nice to look at, even if Kazuya’s monologues are frustrating af to watch. Just take a deep breath and chill out dude (directed at Kazu, not you lol).

Try Rent a Girlfriend. You’ll probably die of old age or war before that one ends.

Reminds me of satisfactory where the mobs ignore you if you’re in a vehicle but you can still ram them to death, and the vehicles are indestructible. Or maybe they fixed that in the last big update as I haven’t tried it yet.

Is there a good resource that lists all games known to require a specific version rather than being fine with the latest? I don’t really have the patience to check each game these days, so a list to skim would be nice.

Yeah, when I made the switch, I checked a bunch of the games I played the most for steam deck compatibility and thought I had to give up on some of them, only to find that they were still fine because my desktop is much more powerful than the steam deck. Plus it has a keyboard; if a game requires a keyboard, it hurts the steam deck compatability score (how much depends on if it’s required for playing the game at all or just needed every now and then to enter some text).

So treat “steam deck supported” as “works on linux” and “steam deck unsupported” as “maybe works on linux”.

I think the better indicator of not supported at all on Linux is the “3rd party kernel anticheat” marker in the store, though I tend to avoid games with that anyways, so I can’t really say for sure.

They want something like the Star Trek computer or one of Tony Stark’s AIs that were basically deus ex machinas for solving some hard problem behind the scenes. Then it can say “model solved” or they can show a test simulation where the ship doesn’t explode (or sometimes a test where it only has an 85% chance of exploding when it used to be 100%, at which point human intuition comes in and saves the day by suddenly being better than the AI again and threads that 15% needle or maybe abducts the captain to go have lizard babies with).

AIs that are smarter than us but for some reason don’t replace or even really join us (Vision being an exception to the 2nd, and Ultron trying to be an exception to the 1st).

Is there a good argument for why any society not in collapse should submit to any “higher” authority?
