⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Dark Souls II I am really enjoying it. I think this is my new 2nd favorite souls game after DS1.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just realized there is absolutely no way to say 'i always lie'.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
No, it’s a lie. They wouldn’t say yes, so saying that they would say yes is a lie.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Switch 2 leaks claim console runs “like a PS5”, FF7R to be launch title & more - Dexerto⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Only thing I care about is that they keep the split controller design. It’s the only controller I can easily use while walking on a treadmill. Holding a controller with two hands while walking is awkward. The split controller allows me to swing my arms normally.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I understand the downvotes, but that law really needs reforming. The labels need to say in what way it can cause harm. I remember seeing a piece of wood (pressboard) labelled as carcinogenic at Home Depot. I couldn’t figure out what that meant. Is it ok as long as I don’t burn it? Is it bad to breath near it? Is it only dangerous if I eat it?

Labels need to be more specific about possible dangers.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #1597: Git⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Git is something that is very comfortable to use after a year or two, but when you initially start using it, it is just so easy to mess things up in ways that are unrecoverable. I remember the silly days when I’d back up all my changes first before using git since I would so regularly lose everything through a combination of git commands.

It’s easy for me now, but the initial stages punish mistakes severely. It’s the dark souls of source control, except it’s not really fun. It’s just a very beginner unfriendly tool.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reviewing *ALL 71* Atari Lynx Games!!!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Fun video given I have no experience with the Lynx. I saw a few good ones in there. Most game libraries seem to be dross with a few great titles and this one is no different.

If I browse !lemmy@lemmy.ml I don’t see this post. Only see it via the website. I really hope they implement post linking soon.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it detrimental to the Fediverse network to self host, for only oneself, a Federated service?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
If it worked like torrenting where you have seeds, etc, it’d scale almost infinitely. I don’t think we should change to fit the algorithm. We should change the algorithm to make it scale.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One Of The Most Important Games Ever Gets The Release It Deserves 40 Years Later⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I love this. Commentary tracks are a huge part of movies for me (I hate how streaming services usually omit them). Definitely should do more of that for games.

In summary, for our mental health, delete nextdoor and never look at national news. One is populated by busybodies and the other is just cancer.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HistoryDrawings - for artistic depictions of historical events, personages, items, etc.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I see one now. Weird. Maybe more will show up later.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HistoryDrawings - for artistic depictions of historical events, personages, items, etc.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
It works, but I see no posts. Not sure why that is.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we play games we hate? - Daryl Talks Games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Ok, that wasn’t what I expected. He makes good points.

FWIW, Dark Souls 1 was absolutely worth the pain. I consider that 1st playthrough one of the best gaming experiences of my life. It also ruined Skyrim for me because the combat in Skyrim is so unsatisfying after the Dark Souls experience.

Trying to think of a game where my experience matches the video though. If I play a great game and then find it boring after X hours, I just stop playing. My past is littered with unfinished games.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we play games we hate? - Daryl Talks Games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
What type of games is this about? Like gacha games that are just gambling? Or mmos that are a social addiction? Or Dark Souls which is awesome except for the frustration which is an important part of it.

I can’t think of any other options. For anything else you should just drop the game and play something else. And you shouldn’t play gacha games at all.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT Out-scores Medical Students on Complex Clinical Care Exam Questions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I hope you’re wrong. If there’s one job I want AI to do, it’s to improve health care.

There are many excellent doctors, but also many very average doctors. And even the best doctors seem to be biased towards the most common illnesses.

And I’ve read that many people with persistent pain, especially people of color, cannot get medicine because doctors suspect everyone of being abusers. But, giving it out like candy isn’t great either.

We need AI doctors.
