Yeah. Nobody felt comfortable calling them RPGs. Because apart from character stats they were far removed from other contemporary RPGs.

Saw a YouTube video the other day about what genre we’d put Doom in if we didn’t call it FPS. And they also arrived at RPG because Doom was basically a continuation of first person dungeon crawler games. They just weren’t as deluded as OOP.

We could call most story driven games nowadays RPGs And that’s simply because that’s the root of many games. A lot of nerds wanted to bring their favourite TTRPG onto the computer and so invented a myriad new ways to do so which has been iterated on ever since.

Calling every game with RPG elements an RPG is like calling every mammal fish. Technically correct but massively oversimplified.

Yes.

The vulnerabilities go back that far. You’re not safe.

That’s because of me, I wrote the bug report! Woohoo!

Wow, Rebel Assault 1 and 2. Together with The 7th Guest ScummVM now supports all the reasons to buy a CD-ROM drive.

No! 🔫🔫 The point is to not sign up!

My last console was a Wii because that had games I couldn’t get on PC. Xbox and PS were always just too similar.

Didn’t see a reason to get a Wii U and with the Switch Nintendo had joined the pay for multiplayer crowd. Plus the Switch controllers were too small for my hands.

I’d say Dragonball Z Abridged. It fixed Android 18 and Krillin’s romance and really elevated it to the next level. Where in the original it basically comes out of nowhere it is super wholesome and believable in Abridged.

Lack of love by whoever paid for the translation.

I have a Gameboy lying around here somewhere. I played it not too long ago.

Last time I tried it all the actually useful stuff was locked behind a pay wall. Plus you have to wipe your phone to install it.

Wanted to replay it the other day on my Steam Deck. Couldn’t be bothered to set up a good control scheme so I just decided to wait for the remaster. Hope it won’t be too expensive.

Nah, the point is to encrypt the traffic and tell you what you are receiving really comes from example.com and not an evil third party.

Usually they make money with extended certificates where they not only offer a certificate for example.com but also certify that it belongs to Example Ltd.

Those extended certificates used to show the company name next to address bars, but I don’t think browsers do that anymore.

Aliens takes place about seventy years or so after their games. Referencing that wouldn’t make sense. Apart from the tonal discrepancy.

Maybe they repurposed some Lohse lines from Divinity Original Sin 2. Same actress.

Username checks out.

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?

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.

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You

Hmm

Anyone with a guesstimate?

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.

Ok, I didn’t care for the video leaks. But this is hilarious.

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.

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.

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 github.com/papi-ux/polaris

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