  LOL, their demo shows Cyberpunk running at a mere 27fps on the 5090 with DLSS off. Is that supposed to sell me on this product?

  What does it matter which users are on which server, since we all get the same content anyways, aside from defederation?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Super Smash Bros. Creator Masahiro Sakurai Reveals He Started Work On A New Game 2 Years Ago | Retro Dodo⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of times when translating articles, and going for click bait headlines, things get mangled. I was searching for where Sakurai may have said he was not making another smash game, and I can’t find anything like that. On the contrary, I am seeing articles saying things like he can’t see another smash game happening without his involvement: www.si.com/…/new-super-smash-bros-game-sakurai

  But regardless, it’s easy to get burned out on something and feel like you never want to touch it again. Then a few years later your feelings on the matter change. It’s happened to me. Doesn’t mean someone “is full of shit”.

  I’m more surprised that this game is still running. I haven’t heard of anyone playing it in years.

  It sounds like it works really well. The physical size does sound quite large, but I’m not sure how that compares against other types of batteries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you think about random encounters?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t really like random battles for the most part, but they are not normally the thing that makes or breaks a game for me, either.

  Some of the first jrpgs that I remember handling battles better then the typical final fantasy was Chrono Trigger and Pokemon. In Chrono Trigger, you can typically see the enemies before you have to fight them, though they would often surprise you with enemies that you couldn’t see jumping out. I think that worked much better than just the normal system where if you walk around long enough you get a battle. Then Pokemon has 2 different things that it did. First, for trainer battles, you can see the trainers on screen shot you can make sure you are prepared before you go into a fight. Then for the normal battles around the world, it does use random encounters, but they take place ONLY within certain spots, like in tall grass or in a cave. So you still have a lot of freedom to roam around in areas without triggering battles, and when you do go through those spots, you know that a battle could pop up, so you can be ready for it. There are also items you can use to avoid encounters.

  For dealing with the annoyance of low level enemies, I think Earthbound had a pretty good system. In Earthbound, it shows you enemies on screen rather than doing random encounters, and once you get to a significantly higher level than the enemies, they will run away from you instead of coming at you, so you are free to just ignore them.

  They didn’t just “happen to be around”. They created the entire ecosystem around machine learning while AMD just twiddled their thumbs. There is a reason why no one is buying AMD cards to run AI workloads.

  Wtf does a kill switch even mean? PCs have kill switches on them already, in the form of a power switch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Worms Armageddon Anniversary Edition: A Retro Revival | Retro Gaming News 24/7⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was first introduced to the original Worms through a demo that came with a PC magazine. I spent way too many hours paying that simple demo, but it really sold me on the concept of worms.

  When Worms 2 came out, I bought it and I was blown away at it being such a massive improvement over the original. I think it was probably the first game that I spent a significant amount of time playing online. I even made custom sound packs based around some of my favorite shows, and I would customize my team names around them.

  Then Worms Armageddon came out. I was so hyped for the next generation of Worms, so I bought it immediately. And then… Well I have to say I felt disappointed. While it was certainly an improvement over Worms 2, with a few new weapons and some single player content, it really felt like more of an expansion than a whole new game. But alright, it is what it is, and I continued playing because it was still a fun game.

  And then Worms World Party came out. I thought that surely this must be the next big evolution in the Worms franchise. So once again I bought it. And god damnit, it felt like they had once again sold me the same damn game with a fresh coat of paint. And that’s how I came to stop loving the Worms franchise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hows .jxl support these days?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Chrome decided not to support it because they want to push AVIF instead. Firefox followed suit. Then Apple actually decided to support JXL. It has a decent amount of support in desktop software. So it’s basically fine for personal use, but don’t expect to use it on the web unless Google changes their tune.

  You may wish to disable automatic updates and follow release notes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is Firefox supposed to do?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Advertisers are already tracking everyone. Firefox is providing another option to help preserve privacy. You still have the option to disable or block anything you want, Firefox hasn’t taken that away. This doesn’t effect you, it effects the average user who doesn’t already block everything. I don’t see how having a new option that helps preserve your privacy is a bad thing. The goal would be for this to catch on, and then eventually be able to prevent more personal tracking that occurs through cookies today. It would be a net benefit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inside the 'Nightmare' Health Crisis of a Texas Bitcoin Town⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well there is not really any reason to speculate if you read the article. They say it’s the sound. It reaches 90 decibels right outside of people’s homes. Some people are literally losing their hearing, and doctors in the article say that exposure to loud sounds can cause all of these heart issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI's Future Hangs in the Balance With California Law⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This bill seems somewhat misguided. How in the hell is something like a large language model going to cause a mass casualty incident? What I am more worried about is things that could more realistically pose a danger. What if robotic dogs patrolling the border have machine guns mounted on their backs, then a child does something unexpected and the robot wipes out an entire family? What if a self driving car suddenly takes off at full speed through a parade? They are trying to slot AI into everything now, and it will inevitably end up in some places that are going to cause loss of life. But chatbots? Give me a break.

  I’m willing to keep an open mind until it releases, but that tells me that the gameplay will be nothing like the original.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Poor Sega just didn't get the timing right.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah my friend got a Dreamcast and then I pirated all the games for him. It was one of the most awesome consoles ever with amazing games. But the few other people I knew with one at the time also pirated games. It was just so easy because it didn’t even need a modchip or anything. Just download, burn a CD, and play.
