Took longer than expected from 3.3 million.

I was a !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works and only bought it after the release discount was gone.

Your bones aren’t just swimming around in a sea of muscles. They are attached to the muscles and sinews. So those places where they are attached are formed in specific ways depending on what is attached.
- Comment on Who plays like that x_x 3 days ago:
I felt so great when I “discovered” using the numpad for movement to have more buttons available to bind useful stuff to. I think I did that with Jedi Knight. I was so excited, I told all my friends.
Can’t remember when I switched to WASD. Maybe with Unreal and/or Half Life.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 Launches To Mostly Negative Steam Reviews Over Performance Issues And Crashing 3 days ago:
It probably doesn’t work with interactable objects and other edge cases. And it for sure doesn’t work with trees because they highlighted in the Witcher 4 showcase how they created a version specifically for trees.
- Comment on How did Luke Skywalker learn to communicate with Astromech droids? How did he learn the language whilst living on Tatooine? 3 days ago:
With the way how stupid LLMs are especially with maths I now think it’s actually quite logical how you wouldn’t want something like that in a droid that is mainly meant to do astronomical calculations.
In the novelization of ROTJ it is also revealed that the torture droid in Jabba’s palace instructs C-3PO to just answer yes or no in order to reduce him to binary because that is something protocol droids are ill equipped for. On the other hand he speaks complex sentences to R2, I guess for much the same reason but the other way around.

Clair Obscur and Hellblade 2 also ran great on my Steam Deck. And I suspect Fortnite does as well.
My guess is that developers of the other games just pour in high def assets without using any of UE5’s crazy LoD techniques.
- Comment on The EU has never been closer to agreeing on Chat Control – here's how we got here and what’s at stake 4 days ago:
FWIW Germany is already opposing it. I’m pleasantly surprised.
- Comment on Is it possible to “make” someone have seizures? 4 days ago:
My friend got a sign from God that he shouldn’t go to church. He didn’t often go to church anyways, but his parents forced him on christmas. But not a minute after being in he collapsed on the ground with seizures.
Some might say it was the stuffy air in a small hall with hundreds of people and maybe bright lights after coming in from the dark winter evening. But we think it was a message from God.

Though as far as I’m aware the patterns usually aren’t that nuanced in reality.
- Comment on Indian court bans Sci-Hub, leaving some researchers worried 5 days ago:
Hopefully the new EU initiative to offer free publishing can fill that hole. Maybe in a second step to offer other papers.

Yeah and it was a mass extinction because of plants. Vegans want to save us from this fate by eating them all!
- Comment on When police neglect to use surveillance to protect actual victims, they must relinquish the surveillance 1 week ago:
Wasn’t there a band in the UK that used a law that allowed them to request footage of themselves from surveillance to make a music video?
- Comment on Can't react to certain posts of other lemmy users, why? 1 week ago:
When replying make sure you’re still on your own instance. So lemmings.world should be in the address bar. If you are on another instance you should be able to get to the same post by searching for the URL on your own instance.
- Comment on Can't react to certain posts of other lemmy users, why? 1 week ago:
In that case the reply should still appear on their own instance.
- Comment on What are some franchises with characters that personify countries? 1 week ago:
Return of the Jedi with the Ewoks fighting the Empire is a direct reference to the Vietnam war.
Although the easier to see reference for the Empire is Nazi Germany.

Zis game, so tight!
- Comment on What happend to messenging apps interoperability in the EU? 1 week ago:
Moxie says something along those lines every once in a while. He really loves the one vendor ecosystem. Says it makes it easier to react to security threats and that the security of Signal would be weaker if they had to federate with anyone.
One example I read him bring up was how WhatsApp was basically able to implement Signal’s OpenWhisper protocol exactly because they’re a closed ecosystem and don’t have to factor in third party clients or networks.
I read that in interviews and github comments over the years. But I think they also stated that officially before and after this legislation was made.
- Comment on What happend to messenging apps interoperability in the EU? 1 week ago:
They are forced to offer it. But they’re not forced to use it.
If Signal wanted to federate with WhatsApp, WhatsApp would be forced to open up. But Signal doesn’t want to.

Cut my fingers doing that.
- Comment on What happend to messenging apps interoperability in the EU? 1 week ago:
Unfortunately none of the bigger players seem to have any interest in making use of the interoperability.
And I think Meta has made it extra hard for smaller ones.
- Comment on New Valve trademark for 'Steam Frame', looks like we're getting new hardware 1 week ago:
The thing that would speak against ARM are the recent sightings of new AMD based APUs from Valve on benchmark sites. Unless that is the next thing over and they are actually now ready with Deckard/Frame.

Most of the fun I had in VR was with “real” games ported to VR like Doom 3.
