Wish they put all this money into funding indie game devs and connected small game studios with the professional film and live action apparatus netfix has access to.

I haven’t played it but Hellbade Senua’s Sacrifice seems like it categorically demolishes whatever netflix execs thought they accomplished from burning all that money.

Just install blender from the discover app on the steam desktop, add it to steam as a non-steam game and you can launch it as you would any other game.

As for controls I prefer joysticks + gyro, but that is just me.

Yeah it is actually pretty amazing how good performance dayz gets on the deck, even on deathmatch servers with 25+ players in a small area it runs great.

The gunplay is superb especially with some of the more common weapon mods.

Not sure why arma 3 runs so much worse in comparison, the difference is massive.

Honestly mostly been learning blender, I am sure sure nobody ever intended blender to be used on a handheld gaming system but that is the beauty of the steam deck right?

Also been playing some everdell.

Coincidentally I had just downloaded Apex to start playing with a friend :(

lasers are way slower than bullets they are super easy to dodge, have you never even seen star wars?

I made this post because demographically with early voting we are potentially seeing a historic gender divide in voting, it seems women in general want Trump nowhere near the whitehouse at this point.

We will see how the numbers shakeout when all the votes are in but if the numbers keep going the way they look like they will, and Kamala Harris wins, what people will remember is that Trump and Jdcouch fucked with women and got wrecked for it.

If this happens I am sorry I don’t have any other way to describe it other than “sexy”, but I am referring not to an attraction or leering towards any particular woman, rather the nebulous blob of feminity that is a whole range of lived identities and expressions of gender coming together to say fuck off to a fascist is the thing I was trying to call sexy. It is an expression of collective depth of caring interwoven with a practical expression of power, “badass” doesn’t really encapsulate it.

It is totally reasonable to find voting (not for a fascist) sexy?

What an epic game, I haven’t really gotten into it beyond the initial zone but even the world building of the default starter zone is fantastic. I feel like this game transports me to a different place more than any AAA game with gorgeous graphics.

Subspace Continuum

Yeah it is a blast splitscreen and I could care less about (american) football honestly, it is just good arcade fun.

Not Mutant Football League!

Right, they see the business of car sales as like horses for the rich and more crucially they see themselves as a luxury brand that associates itself with wealth via the inherent difficulty of owning and maintaining a large luxury car that excludes all but the rich. It is the same with Ralph Lauren and horses, polo in this case being analagous to the ridiculous high stakes driving fantasies luxury car commercials evoke.

I think the delusion that fuels this insanity is western car companies understand the future is no longer defined by visions of the car but they can’t admit it. They can’t make cheap, reliable ev commuter cars because from their perspective that would be admitting the truth they can not accept to themselves.

I don’t even think this has to do with money, surely there will be big markets in ev vehicles long into the future, rather it is about something deeper, it is about refusing to participate in any future that doesn’t unquestionably place cars at the center of it.

To western car execs a simple, reliable compact electric commuter car isn’t a car, zero percent of them drive anything other than sports cars and massive trucks/suvs and they see one of the fundamental utilities of a car is to seperate oneself from the city of dirty working class people between your mansion and executive suite office (who would actually benefit most from said practical small electric commuter cars).

“What you think about them, they think about you”

No, this is precisely the issue. Any leftist worth their salt can’t fucking stand conservatives and YET we will still protect their basic human rights and accept them into a collective society.

Conservatives on the other hand are perpetrating violence every single day against leftists and minorities they LOUDLY do not accept into a collective society. They deny abortions for women who are on the verge of death, they advocate for draconian health care policy that massively raises the suicide rates of trans kids because they hate trans kids and they believe deep down in their racism with an unshakable fervor that makes their meager spiritual practice of christianity look sad and pathetic in comparison.

It is far past the point of having a debate with rightwing conservatives, what is left is to intimidate them into shutting up, drowning out their voices and laughing at their tiny hateful visions of the universe.

The social fabric of the US is being ripped apart by conservative white men because they can’t handle how scary using pronouns is and frankly the solution is to activate everybody else, not humor these people yet again with another discussion they are going to approach in a fundamentally disengenous way.

I’m sorry I am not trying to dispute the spirit of your respose but I have to disagree, freight trains are thousands of feet long and haul unbelievably large quantities of material, the idea that it is inefficient to have a human (really a pair of humans) oversee and be responsible for a machine that large is laughable honestly.

…so is the idea that there is a genuine shortage of people willing to work as conductors, it is a convenient lie companies tell to rationalize why nobody wants to work for them because they pay shit and respect their employees so little that they won’t even give them unpaid time for necessary doctors appointments (see recent action of US train workers).

This point is even more true for passenger trains.

It is a massive responsibility we can afford to pay two humans to do it, a certain micro amount of inefficiency is ok.

In order for this to be accurate, the building plans would need to encoded so only the building designers have any clue how the building works and how safe it is.

Also moving around random mundane objects in the building like a picture frame on an office wall not infrequently causes a cascading and horrendous displacement of all the other objects in the building.

To open the breaker box involves operating two sets of panels, first the building tries to get you to use the new updated breaker panel interface but it was designed by the portion of the company that was told to sell more “cloud rooms” which are tiny and full of cameras that monitor residents and serve ads to them over a preinstalled intercom, so the first panel hides all the normal rooms and you have to find a latch and a set of 30 screws that when removed allows you to access the old breaker panel with all the other rooms. Every single time you open the breaker you have to repeat this process.

There is a building supervisor that used to be at least somewhat helpful when residents had questions but they got replaced by a new person. The replacement confusingly advertises nearby chain stores to you when you call them up to ask about a plumbing issue and answers specific questions about the building they are in charge of oddly, as if they were questions about buildings in general all over the world.

I feel like I am missing some key things here, but this is at least a somewhat accurate starting point for a microsoft word building.

Why do we need to get rid of the job of human radio presenter?

Techbros keep telling me AI frees people up to stop working shitty jobs and pursue their dreams, but the truth is none of these tech evangelists give a shit about anyone’s dreams if they aren’t some lame vision of factorio where the factories pollute the planet churning out ripoffs of human culture.

Yeah, this is classic class warfare and the trajectory of these things has been moving away from developers having any say for a long time, the difference now is that business majors have finally found a killer app to convince society it is ok to destroy software development as a decent career… it is called AI and it doesn’t actually matter if it works or not, the point is to convince people it is only natural and right to treat software devs like worthless commodified contract labor that is just around the corner from being entirely obsolete.

I find it darkly hilarious how confident so many people who work in the software industry are that they aren’t about to have their future crushed by the rich. Again it really doesn’t matter if AI lives up to the hype at all, if AI fails to deliver and a market crash happens all the better since society will readily accept that as proof there needed to be a market correction on out of control labor costs for development, consolidation will occur and the labor of software development will be indefinitely and likely permanently devalued.

This should be clear as day to programmers but people who program for a living tend to think understanding programming is a shortcut to understanding everything and it leads to hilariously naive views from otherwise apparently very intelligent people.

Make no mistake this is the beginning of an awful era for game developers and software development.

RPS is circling the drain, they don’t have some key people anymore like Alice.

Be whatever emotion will help you through the coming suffering, but remember deciding not to care is a failstate of your world view, not an indicator your world view is a healthy and rational one.
