This is my first time reading about this alternate “ETA” initialism. Interesting…

Not to burst your bubble, but upvotes may come from people just applauding your attempt to increase community here but who may not even play or like the game 😬🫣 I hope you do get some action, though! I am unavailable, personally.

@happeningtofry99158@lemmy.world This is what you want. I have also been using URLCheck which acts as an airlock and has been absolutely incredible. I wish there was a Windows equivalent to this thing.

Interesting. Any response to that last question? I thought those were bots all this time!

Fine, *could literally be.

Let me offer a spin on this: the point-&-click adventure Technobabylon, which is more a staggeringly creative and massive series of escape rooms, and not that much of an open world to explore and revisit.

Perceptibly, it has zero grinding and is to the point with what you’ve gotta do. It is one of the only point-&-click adventure games that I’ve beaten; I normally dislike the genre, which speaks volumes to how incredible it is.

Ironically, I couldn’t get into Outer Wilds, myself; it sucks to get stuck.

Sable is on a giveaway this week by Epic Games. Use the free-&-open-source Heroic Games Launcher to play it without having to download their platform.

I got bored by FAR’s puzzles and didn’t finish it but I guess I should persist, huh?

Fun fact: Portal was originally a university student project called Narbacular Drop that got hired by Steam. In a sense from its limited narration and story, it felt a bit more like a proof-of-concept than almost a full-fleshed game to me at times, which, for me, was hands-down Portal 2.

They’re great fun to stream and watch, too.

ChatGPT 2 was literally an Excel spreadsheet.

I guesstimate that it’s effectively a supermassive autocomplete algo that uses some TOTP-like factor to help it produce “unique” output every time.

And they’re running into issues due to increasingly ingesting AI-generated data.

Get your popcorn out! 🍿

Stirling-PDF can do 10x as many kinds of tasks as pdftk can. I used to use pdftk until I discovered Stirling-PDF and have never looked back.

The freemium, offline-capable software Stirling-PDF is king of open-source PDF-editing. Nothing else comes even close, despite how counterintuitive its UI can be. Ironically enough, the creator said it was originally a ChatGPT experiment, but once it went viral, he ended up hiring others and they all regularly improve it as its staff.

If you are on Windows, head over to @ahk@programming.dev and we’ll see what we can do about automating the removal per pg. via AutoHotkey.

Oh. Well, if the mods are this active, then that could probably be changed, too! I’m not trying to insult you or something; I just think the titles could be made much more meaningful with just a bit more focus (which also means they could potentially attract more redditors or other lurking, fence-sitting denizens of the Internet through quality stuff in both title and body).

Could you please rename such a long and misleading title to something more succinct and accurate?

Day 333 of game commentary: Minecraft

I strongly believe it would genuinely boost the quality of your submissions.

They’re nuts! Why does it matter?!

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world needs to change the title to “Daily thoughts: game X, game Y, game Z.” Continually saying “screenshot” each time is misleading and does legitimately sound spammy and annoying. A simple title change would be so much better.

I’ve been on Waterfox for years and see no reason worth changing for.

Man, joke’s gonna be on them if they dont keep up with the times…

FYI, the “O” in “GOG” is capitalized; it stands for “Good Old Games” as they originally made their claim to fame by modernizing access to literally old DOS, etc. games that are hard to run on modern PCs. It doesn’t stand for “of.”

With that said, yes, GOG should absolutely be prioritized, as well as itch.io.
