• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA just added classics like Dungeon Keeper, SimCity 3000, and Populous on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Used to play the crap out of some Populous (all of them) was a great game. Not giving EA any money though. Just get them on GoG so you don’t rent them.

  I mean they make the chips in PS5 and xbox too.

  It’s for the lock pick mini game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EBook Management⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is my setup. Caliber-Web is nice because it just points to your Calibre application database. It’s more robust than the built in web server and I can set it up to sync with my Kobo over wifi.

  SwiftKey does that if you give it access to your emails.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If so-called AI is basically just Large Language Models, how come predictive text on my phone is bollock-useless?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It would have to be pretty specific and small to work on a phone and I think a side effect would be everyone’s conversations start to sound a lot more homogeneous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would your recommended budget ($200-400) phones be?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would normally have agreed, but the last one I bought was TERRIBLE. I think it was 2022 version and they had problem sourcing chips, I think they used a Mediatek chipset and performance was unuseable.

  This guy is correct.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is reportedly auto-installing the HP Smart app on Windows 10 and 11 PCs⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wondered what was happening. I got a notice my daughter installed this app (under 13 account) and was like why would she do thst.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No More Will to Play⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not looking to pick a fight, but it doesn’t sound like your the target audience any more. PvP has been pretty much removed from the game because of the low engagement. Some of the in-world mechanics exist, but the majority of players don’t partake. What people really wanted when it came out was fallout 4 with buddies, which it pretty much is now. PvP is never gonna be good in the creation engine, too buggy and full of exploints, it’s meant for open world story building and it should stick with that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No More Will to Play⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sures, completely different settings, but if your looking for a Bethesda fix it does the trick, IMHO, better than Starfield does. Didn’t have a great first year or so, but it had 5 years of active updates under its belt now, they have removed most of the stuff that players didn’t want and added in the stuff they do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No More Will to Play⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There is no hard mode, that was removed with out the ability to turn on a few year back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No More Will to Play⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Come play fallout 76. The game that gamers forgot, but is better than Starfield.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IRS will pilot free, direct tax filing in 2024⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  US citizen here. Used to file my own for free. At one point I bought a house and qualified for some tax credit so I paid an accountant to do my taxes that year to ensure I got everything right, bascially never went back becuase it was worth the $175 to litterally do nothing except mail my tax documents to an accountant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Plans Commercial Breaks for Prime Video⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Legitimately not any slower if you live in an area with a warehouse.

  I did prime for a bit, the ONLY thing I liked was not having a minium purchase. But everything is so expensive these days that’s $35 minimum purchase is in no way hard for free shipping.

  Oh, we had four! All in or nothing!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony’s new PS5 update includes Dolby Atmos and the ability to mute the startup beep | You can now silence the PS5 beep sound and use a second controller to assist friends or family in games.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  “…use a second controller to help friends in games.”

  I remeber playing Mario Kart in college and one of my buddies got his wireless controller from upstairs and put it on the same channel as mine. Everytime I went to take a corner or make a critical maneuver he would move the opposite direction and send me off a cliff or into a shell. He really did and excellent job of “helping” me.

  Hopefully this will enable this sort of “helping” for people to make memories. (Clearly this has stuck with me for 20 years).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[SPOILERS] Anybody else finding themselves reloading an old save after this specific mission?😂⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly this exact thing is why I like how they handle new game plus. My current tactic is I just keep my decisions and next time it can play through differently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fix for 3-4 second freezing every minute or two⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t ever have CTD, just the input lag / freeze. Depending on the number of cores you have might be worth testing. I have a 5900x, so dropping 4 threads out of 24 wasnt a big deal and definitely made a difference for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fix for 3-4 second freezing every minute or two⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Setting cpu affinity to a couple less cores fixed for me as well. Using process lasso to make it permanent.

  Using Vortex. Works decent with the Starfield plugin. Make sure to launch from Vortex as well so it will deploy the mods if they are not already.
