⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What to claim from Prime Gaming, February 21st edition - plenty for Steam Deck / Linux⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:
That what I use for gog games.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it a pattern that every time a movie, show or animation that doesn't have a white person as the protagonist is attacked by right-wingers?⁩ ⁨⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:
No one cares who the lead is in a good show. It’s been popular to blame racism/sexism for shitty shows for a while. It’s easy to find a couple tweets and turn a handful of assholes into the face of criticism.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avowed is the most fun I’ve have had since Skyrim!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
There’s never been much content blocking in elder scrolls. You could always master every skill even in Morrowind. Morrowind had a few exclusive guilds, but even Skyrim had a couple. Role playing in Skyrim is self imposed.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting a Steam Deck to emulate retro games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
It works great for emulation. Emudeck will install pretty much everything you need to get started, you can configure it more if you want or do everything manually as well, but it works well enough for me. There’s a few systems you need bios files for, Google can help you find them pretty easily.

I use emulation station (es-de) to launch roms from gaming mode on the deck. It has some cool features to add metadata to your list of games so you can have box art and things in the menus. It also works to keep roms separated from other games in gaming mode.

The only systems that don’t work well are the more modern ones. Xbox, 360, PS3 are pretty rough or have spotty game support. Switch works fairly well, but it’s more complicated to get working but still possible with some googling.

You’ll want to get a few things to make everything easier to work with. A Bluetooth mouse/keyboard or a hub to connect wired ones is helpful in desktop mode to do the set up and configuration work. A hub is also useful to connect a flash drive to transfer time to the deck. You’ll want an external sd card to hold everything, 256gb is probably the smallest you want, but it depends on how many and which systems you want roms for, everything pre 6th gen is pretty small.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon's previous VP of Prime Gaming said they "tried everything" to disrupt Steam⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
I like prime gaming, sure I haven’t actually bought anything but Amazon has given me a decent gog library and an ok Amazon games one.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
It’s entirely possible that the database is pre SQL.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monster Hunter: World sold over a million copies just in the last 3 months, despite being 7 years old⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I bought it with iceborne when it was on sale recently on steam, I had a copy for PS4 but I’ve transitioned to just PC games at this point.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there an implemented system of automated trucks anywhere that is fully operational?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Only in extremely controlled areas like ports or mines are there no humans. Farm tractors are close when in the field.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve ban advertising-based business models on Steam, no forced adverts like in mobile games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
There two big differences to me are scale and value. A ccg has rare cards, but they aren’t actually that rare compared to loot boxes. Loot boxes tend to have both lower drop rates and pollute their drops with lots of garbage, even for rare drops. Secondly, physical cards have value, you can sell or trade them, you can buy singles of cards you want. You can use them for things other than the game as well.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Civilization 7 not fun?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
As others have said start with 5. The rule of thumb for civ games is to wait for the expansion dlc to release and buy the game on sale. 7 is also a significant departure from the previous games, so it’s probably even more important to wait or outright skip it until they get it more polished.

Also it’s worth looking into endless legend or endless space 2 if you want to try more 4x games.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Light moderation tends to not lead to good communities. You can try 4chan if you want light moderation. Otherwise you might need a better focus than general finance. FIRE is popular online. Wallstreetbets is irresponsible investing. There are pyramid communities.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨imagine⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I have planted seeds from round up ready soy beans. They grew just fine for my needs, which wasn’t farming. Farmers have also planted harvested hybrid seeds, Monsanto sues the ones they catch, because it’s a contract violation for those that bought seeds.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you regard as retro?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
If it can be emulated on a potato it’s retro. If it’s it’s old but not trivial to emulate then it’s classic.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How realistic is the threat of the government remotely manipulating digital devices you own and planting evidence?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Could they? Yes. Would they? Almost definitely not for most cases. There’s plenty of crimes they can hit you with if you happen to get on the government’s shit list. A month of active surveillance would give them evidence for a laundry list of felonies. Taking covert action to plant fake evidence is a level of risk that isn’t worth it for the average person. If you happen to be a state level threat that calculus can change.

The news doesn’t cover what happens at 2pm on a Saturday unless there’s multiple bodies.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former Sony Exec Believes PlayStation 6 Will Retain Optical Disc Support⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The PS5 doesn’t even have games and we are moving on to the 6? I guess that’s some innovation.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Civilization 7's post-launch plans include free multiplayer and Age features and paid Ada Lovelace⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The words in the article. Great Britain/English is a paid dlc. You can’t play with the same number of players in each age at launch. You can’t do hot seat multiplayer at launch.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Civilization 7's post-launch plans include free multiplayer and Age features and paid Ada Lovelace⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Post launch plans include finishing the game and packaging popular civs as paid dlc.

That does seem like a very bad look to do that even if the guy deserves it.

You need to be dead 20 years to qualify for sainthood.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capricorn Two⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
In the 50s id be surprised if there was more than one piece of equipment in the state that could move that thing. Even today I’d be shocked if there were more than a handful of capable machines in the state.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will Republicans try another Federal Right to Work attempt?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Being fired for any or no reason is at will employment.

Right to work has nothing to do with that. It’s about allowing people to not pay union dues. Those people are still protected by the union contract.

People love their incest porn, just look at how it’s dominating all the porn sites.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Notre Dame reopens in Paris 5 years after fire – its reconstruction preserves the past and illuminates France’s modern ambitions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
It’s one billion euros to restore a tourist attraction worth several times that amount.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man in charge of Diablo thinks we should start calling games that he thinks are like Diablo 'Diablo-likes'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I thought we used arpg for that already.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just read an article somebody stole 40k from an atm. How is that possible that an atm carries that much? And is it even possible to get inside an ATM if so?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Rough math wise and ATM can easily hold $40k. That’s 8.6 inches of $20 bills, it might be a mostly full ATM, but a believable amount.

As for how easy it is to break into an ATM, it’s not easy, but it’s not impossible. They are designed to be serviceable by a single person, so the doors and locks while strong, aren’t going to hold up to the force of a vehicle or explosives from someone that knows what they are doing. The hard part is removing the cash box, which depending on the machine it can be easier to take the whole machine. Once you get the machine/box to a second location the security is irrelevant.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The past 2 weeks really have just been the Democrats doubling down and saying the quiet part out loud.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
This post is not equating immigration and slavery. It is using this thing called a metaphor. It highlights an issue or argument using a comparison that shares relevant characteristics.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The past 2 weeks really have just been the Democrats doubling down and saying the quiet part out loud.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
The US is absolutely importing cheap labor. It’s not even controversial that the H1-B program has been abused to do just that. The AFL-CIO admits immigrants are needed for labor, but they play more coy about the cheap part.
