  It is if you really want to git gud.

  But what it also is is the nicest open sea sailing simulator, with awesome ambience and a fantastic world to just sail around in and do some relaxing things like fishing and just exploring all the islands. Especially in Safer Seas mode.

  Ah, yes, that’s what I meant with single player (or really single ship, since you can play with your friends) mode, couldn’t remember the name

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fishing games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sea of Thieves is amazing and has some decent fishing. Might want to stay in the single player world if you just want cozy, although a sense of (PvP) danger can definitely liven things up too.

  Haven’t heard of it before, but it does look interesting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The poop psa absolutely no one asked for⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, that sounds better. My tumor was found when I was 30 and initially caused me lots of IBD problems, and then proceeded to blood in my stool. Butt probe then confirmed it even though my doctor was expecting something else because I was so young. A test like that might not have helped much in my case but I wasn’t the most average case anyway.

  Well the trade war isn’t going great for them…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The poop psa absolutely no one asked for⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that a blood test? Those aren’t always effective. I kept testing negative even when I had a massive tumor in my bowels. The only thing that really works is going in there and taking a look, i.e. a colonoscopy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to use GPUs over multiple computers for local AI?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A 10 Gbps network is MUCH slower than even the smallest oldest PCIe slot you have. So cramming the GPUs in any old slot that’ll fit is a much better option than distributing it over multiple PCs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Without GPS: EU researchers develop satellite-independent navigation system⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Regarding the second point, militaries have a long history of using civilian products (see GPS in the gulf war for example) if they don’t have enough of the expensive stuff, which will lead to incentive to jam the civilian stuff as well. The article suggests that this system should be more resilient against simple jamming though.

  4 looks like a wild ride

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One-handed games?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s more permanent show them an Azeron Cyro at www.azeron.eu It’s a mouse with a thumbstick, you can play almost any PC game with one hand. Comes in both right and left handed versions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 232 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing until l forget to post Screenshots⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Dunno when you played it but they’ve added tons of shit in the past years, so it might be worth it to give it another chance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this massive difference to be expected?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The difference might be HTTP vs HTTPS. On a Pi the extra CPU load to properly encrypt the HTTPS stream is probably significant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You realize that the plane pictured, an SR-71, possibly the coolest plane ever made, has been phased out many years ago? Another sign the USA isn’t what it used to be! /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Civilization 7 not fun?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  4 is the best “old” civ in that it still has square tiles and doomstacks. Also the modding scene is insane for 4, massive total makeovers that make it a completely different game, far more interesting mods than any other civ game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Civilization 7 not fun?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good to hear how it compares, I was curious about that but reviewers aren’t talking about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Civilization 7 not fun?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They stole that and some other mechanics from Humankind, a game by the same studio as Endless Legend. It wasn’t received that well in Humankind either, so I’m kinda surprised that they stole it anyway, but I guess line must go up and they didn’t have a lot of inspiration themselves?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WhatsApp is adding the ability to save contacts within the app independently from your smartphone’s address book.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If this means I can deny WhatsApp access to my regular contacts and still have a decent user experience I’m all for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have the weirdest aesthetic preferences⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fully agree!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some Feminist Tips⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  None of them have anything to do with feminism though, except maybe #2.
