- Comment on What are you playing this week? July 01 2024 Edition 5 hours ago:
Well…
MWO (Mechwarrior Online) is still adept at bliking me for more money with the false promises of buying power… though Catapult with MASK go vroom 153kph.
One of my friends beged me off and on for the last year to give fallout 76 another try. Now he stopped playing after the first day but i am giving it a go. Feels a lot less dead.
And my other friend is playing Wayfinder. An MMO turned action diablo like. It got literally every type of character progression you can imagine, someone probably should have tackled the designer once they started to add the POE/FF10 skill web. Its fun, playing it on the hardest mode and bosses take a solid hour of devil may cry’ing
My other friends are trying to get me into FF14 again. But man did i lose a lot of will to play that at the ‘the developer watched Evangelion, and you have to learn all about it’. So that might simmer a bit longer.
And i want to play Monster Sanctuary. The best pokemon game ever created.

What about the person with an auto clicker that just flails his mouse all over leaving chaos and a dead zone in which no one is happy not satisfied?

- Comment on While China has warned the West against 'decoupling', the country’s censorship system is designed for the purpose of isolation, report says 4 days ago:
It’s more of recognition that the internet is not the Wild West it used to be. Your anonymity is dependent on how much you are worth to track, and that value shrinks every day. If you want to buy cheaper video games, or watch geo locked Netflix content you are fine… for now. But the US government has been offering VPNs for people wanting to be anonymous for a wile now. So its not extreme for china to do it too.

Probably, but any thought that VPNs keep you anonymous to anyone other then script kiddies and minor companies is fool hardy

- Comment on Will self driving trucks hit the roads with nobody on board or will they keep a human supervisor? 1 month ago:
I mean you could do that remotely, but there is a an assurance that someone is putting some meat on the line.
But eventually i think we are going to reach Onicron: Nomads Soul, territory. Where you rent a car service on call, there’s no parking and the cars are always running, and cycled out for cleaning and bullet hole filling.
- Comment on Half Life 3 1 month ago:
They seem to release these games as some sort of tech demo show showcasing what they see is the future of games. One has the set peice structure of game design, two was the physics engine, and Alex was VR. So other then the continuation of the time line, half life Alex pretty much was half life three. Also they know the hype/meme train has been building for so long that nothing will be good enough. Like Duke nukem.

Depends on who or what you are. Corporations like airlines or cable companies, government contractors like Boeing, or banks do it all the time

- Comment on The incredible pixel-smashing game Noita got a huge free update 2 months ago:
I mean it’s cool to not like that in a game. But i think your mind set is weird. The game seems more random than it actually is, even considering the vast differences and power of the spells. If you watch people who play the game a lot you will notice that they will usually win, and when they get noita’ed it’s usually due to a mistake. The game play is learning to understand the rules of the game how it ticks. You CAN learn it via videos that will tell you all the minnute mechanics, but i would say that cheapening the exploration it’s going for.
It would be like looking up the percentage chance of every outcome for every event in FTL, and using only the meta builds and their meta strats
But i don’t blame you for not liking it as the floor is really high.

If i was to guess, there a probably a ton of Bat species we do not know about, that are separated by such minute differences that to play the guessing game would be harrowing.

- Comment on Pornhub blocks North Carolina and Montana as porn regulation spreads 5 months ago:
I am sure that a VPN can obfuscate my location. But its a hassle that most people will not do. And you must not be in Virginia, because you would know that the ISP did not need to get involved. Use your vpn and spoof as in VA. You will see the companies comply with the order to remain legal. The reputable ones have a vested interest to stay legal, and can be reached via legal means. The ones that pedal revenge porn and other exploitation? Not so much. The amount of sites that are not reachable is very large, when your search would begin at the 4th page of a search engine query for porn, you are no longer in safe waters
- Comment on Pornhub blocks North Carolina and Montana as porn regulation spreads 5 months ago:
In Virginia, they are required to gather personal information and that’s weird. So its just not available here. But when you think of it, porn hub went to great lengths to minimize the problems with the industry. And these sort of regulations are doing the same thing that prohibition did. Push normal citizens into interacting with seedy elements, dangerous situations, and exploitation.
- Comment on Robot mistakes man for box of peppers, kills him — Malfunctioning sensor system blamed for technician’s death at Korean food plant 7 months ago:
Which again falls on the company not following proper safety, which was the point. This was a foreseeable problem, and the fact that the arm was “looking” for and able to reach for a box of “peppers”, means it was not in the right state to trouble shoot. If the device has no safety mechanisms that would allow safe maintenance then the machine must be replaced. But they don’t have good standards in a lot of countries.

- Comment on Nowadays, on certain games and game launchers, you can play the game before its fully downloaded. How is possible? 8 months ago:
Its just how the installer prioritizes the data. You start with the frame work, and you then install first level dependent data. As long as the player does not out pace the dependencies, there is no problem
