  I thought heroic supported cloud saves?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Historians never talk about the "good old days".⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  “10 years ago” would mean the year is 2015. By then, there were no 30 search bars, generally no viruses just by connecting to the internet and speeds were also acceptable or more than acceptable. And 2015 was unquestionably a better time for the internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Superhero stories have become less about saving people and more about fighting villains.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah the argument seems very shallow to me. Where does spider-man even fall in all this? The typical spidey depiction is a broke kid who isn’t even sure he wants to be a superhero. What does that make him?

  An interesting use case for me in programming has been prototyping. Stuff I otherwise wouldn’t have the time to experiment with suddenly becomes something feasible. And then, based on what I learnt while having the AI build the prototype, I can build the actual thing I want to build. So far, it has worked out pretty nicely for me.

  Nushell?

  Well that was a depressing read

  Unfortunately, the last panel isn’t happening in real life

  I mean, anybody could verify it by spending a few hours each on the respective games… But yes, any empirical data would be nice. For example, a study on the amount of blatant hackers found on lobbies joined in comparable ranks. Anyway, this isn’t exactly misinformation to anybody who has played both games at any decent rank. It’s unproved but immediately discernible information. Take that how you will, i don’t really intend to argue about this here. This kind of pointless argument is the worst thing about Lemmy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I sure wish there was some empirical study regarding the same too. I’m very much going by anecdotal evidence from myself and others right now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  you don’t actually need kernel level to do anti cheat well.

  I’m sure you’re right, but VAC is one of the worst examples for that… I think whatever Blizzard does with Overwatch 2 is a better example.

  Technically, we’re one update away from Kobo taking our device away too. I do love my KOReader on my Clara 2E though
