- Comment on "I'm a massive fan of Aliens, but it is a very different beast": Why Creative Assembly are still ignoring every movie but the original in Alien Isolation 2, despite heading planetside 9 hours ago:
Aliens takes place about seventy years or so after their games. Referencing that wouldn’t make sense. Apart from the tonal discrepancy.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3's Mizora becomes a fully-fledged companion thanks to a new mod, just in case you fancy adding a calculating cambion to your crew 1 day ago:
Maybe they repurposed some Lohse lines from Divinity Original Sin 2. Same actress.

Username checks out.
- Comment on Nvidia DLSS 5 releases this week with NBA 2K27, so the AI yassification filter's busy beautifying basketballers early doors 2 days ago:
Those different results by LLMs are due to a randomness setting they specifically add. When you control it yourself you can remove it and always get the same output for the same input.
Of course, the different video game frames are all new inputs every time. They will probably have tried to get consistent results but I doubt it will work perfectly all the time.

Is Factorio even GPU bound on anything but a potato?
- Comment on Does anyone remember the name of this, I believe, SNES or Original Playstation RPG game? 1 week ago:
In Baldur’s Gate PCs would wait in a tavern that was in a tower where you could also rent rooms to rest. The location acted as a central hub. That was on PC, though.
Didn’t play BG2 but I heard you can get your own castle in that one. Maybe PCs would wait there.

Hmm

Anyone with a guesstimate?
- Comment on Means to privately connect to my home server other than Tailscale? 1 week ago:
Port forward your SSH-server. You can forward ports through SSH to access web services or others running on the server or anything else in the network.
But only allow access through keys. And maybe try to use a different port than 22. That usually gets hammered a lot, trying to find accounts with weak passwords.
- Comment on A playable build of GTA 6 appears to have leaked, as Rockstar and Take-Two scramble to take down videos 2 weeks ago:
Ok, I didn’t care for the video leaks. But this is hilarious.
- Comment on "POSSIBLE DATA LOSS" (Excel reports, when you save a CSV) 2 weeks ago:
At my job IT would regularly advise employees to open “CSV” files with Libre Office because it nicely asks you upfront how it should be handled. With sane defaults and easy to understand adjustments.
Excel just assumes stuff and fuck you, if you think otherwise. I think theoretically you can get Excel to import CSVs created under different standards but it’s burried somewhere in submenus. And good luck if the file has different encoding than your OS.
- Comment on Recommendations to watch Youtube on TV 2 weeks ago:
Been a while since I did this. But isn’t there a YouTube plugin for Kodi anymore? Back then I would send videos from my phone to Kodi using Yatse.
- Comment on [Discussion] What are your anti-comfort anime? 2 weeks ago:
I want to watch Attack on Titan. But I suspect it will not be comfortable for me. I never feel like watching crazy giants eating people.
And if it actually is more comfortable than the premise suggests I’m not sure I actually want to watch it.
But I guess until I actually watch it it will remain in a superposition.

Maybe Polaris is what you’re looking for. It’s meant for game streaming. But of course you can stream whatever you want.

And now they don’t have to jump through those hoops anymore.

I’m just fat. Solves the same problem.

Old games are still being played. Might as well play them uncensored.
- Comment on XBOX PC and Game Pass coming to Linux with the 'Xodus' project 3 weeks ago:
It’s an unofficial project. Not by Microsoft. They won’t lock down anything.
- Comment on GOG have a great sale on shooters going on 4 weeks ago:
Still waiting for the Dark Forces Remaster to go below 10 €.
- Comment on Roblox causes Wall Street value estimators to cry themselves a $9 billion puddle, as a result of pushing less kids towards aggressively monetised viral games 4 weeks ago:
Honestly, still not how I was hoping.

- Comment on Quite the cool joke (by bsapricot) 4 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t wear that in the US at the moment.
But you would be pretty popular with German railway people.
- Comment on Steam Beta adds HDR streaming on Steam Deck OLED 5 weeks ago:
I wonder how they can stream stuff for remote play but disable a simple broadcast in big picture mode.

My fatass brain didn’t see the community and thought those were chips and that you were bragging about your last shopping trip.
- Comment on Selfhosting as a Linux newbie - Ubuntu Server LTS or Debian 13? 5 weeks ago:
Definitely Debian. You’re already used to it and personally I highly value the stability it brings for servers.
- Comment on State of the Discord - A Lesson 1 month ago:
At least voice and video are often done peer to peer. So the strain on the server would be almost zero.
