I agree with all of your points, but if we don’t even shine a positive light on steps in the right direction, then what are we supposed to do? Wait until we’re in a utopia, then start acknowledging improvements?
This isn’t a perfect final solution, but it’s a positive step, so is still say worth celebrating.

Well, that would make sense since they’re traditionally tech showcases. They were huge when they were first coming out due to the parkour and melee combat alone. They’ve certainly aged over time, but I’d say anything after IV holds up well in terms of gameplay loop. The earlier ones can be rough around the edges if you don’t have nostalgia for them.

Pretty much anything that has the capacity to kill you should be avoided for the most part on these sites. Which is to say, most if not everything.

Bam. Spot on. That makes for great storytelling. There’s even a sanity mechanic.

This makes all the difference between a good Call of Cthulhu DM and a bad one.

This is pretty obviously an ad for an AI workflow software. At least that’s how it came across to me. Right at the start of the DIY approach, they’re complaining they need to buy a number for their approach to work to solve a problem they invented. Just open the gd weather app.
- Comment on Steam Deck and SteamOS hit 20,000 playable games 1 week ago:
But that’s just it. That fiddling isn’t something the dev probably accounted for, so it should be noted that the experience will be less than optimal. I think it still fits.
- Comment on What can I use for an offline, selfhosted LLM client, pref with images,charts, python code execution 1 week ago:
I also started using this recently and it’s very plot and play. Just open and run. It’s the only client so far that feels like I could recommend to non-geeks.
- Comment on Why do people like Mario Kart? 1 week ago:
I’ve been playing racing games ever since I was a kid but was never into Nintendo. I played everything from Crash Team Racing to Assetto Corsa and everything in between, but never own a Mario Kart game.
Just in the last year my roommate picked up a Wii U and I played through 8. It doesn’t necessarily do anything that other racing games haven’t individually done better and there’s nothing truly unique.
That being said, the one thing it does better than anyone else is precision and feedback. It is exceptionally tight and responsive compared to others like it. It’s also just incredibly well animated and visually consistent. The game still looks good a decade later, no issues.
I would akin a lot of what Nintendo does to Apple. Not necessarily the first, or the most powerful, but almost always the most polished.

Some part of me hopes that the current shit show eventually reaches some sort of conclusion and all of the people that actually have real-world skill sets will get to go back to what they know how to do because the business that ran on capital will have collapsed. I know it’s an unrealistic hope. But it’s a hope nonetheless.

I keep everything as flat as possible. Just the regular docker package running on vanilla Debian. On the networking side, I’m lucky in that I have a government-run fiber provider that doesn’t care that much what I host, so it’s just using the normal ports.
I did previously use C*mcast, and I remember there was an extra step I had to do to get it to redirect port 80 over 443, but I couldn’t tell you what that step was anymore.

I host it via docker+nginx on my own hardware.

I admit I used Publii for my builder. I can’t program CSS for crap. I’m far more geared towards backend dev.

Maybe that’s a dark mode thing? I know Dark Reader breaks almost anything with an already dark theme.

I agree with everything here. The internet wasn’t always a constant amusement park.
I’m rather proud of my own static site

- Comment on Why do so many people delete their posts? 2 weeks ago:
Half the time, it’s because I don’t read the original comment closely enough and realize that my point no longer makes sense, but I usually only do this if it’s less than a minute or two after posting.

6 years of tech support and I dread email troubleshooting because I know it will take two weeks and 13 exchanges before we can actually start troubleshooting.

You’re telling me that you don’t want UI elements randomly being moved around and redesigned as well as having more and more features that no one uses piled on until you can barely see the chat you were originally trying to have? Kids these days…

Premium Lite? What paid benefits are there to YouTube other than removing ads?
- Comment on Oh, it turns out Cyberpunk 2077 is getting one more update after all, and it's not too far away 2 weeks ago:
Compared to launch, it just has a lot more flow. They filled out a lot of the gaps. The original version had the Ubisoft problem of: pick destination, go to thing, complete mission, repeat. Now, in a good way, there are constant interruptions. It feels like a hectic future where you never get a moments peace with people often offering you new and interesting jobs.
I also took a lot more time to read all of the little logs I picked up. Again just helped with immersion a ton. If you give yourself the chance to try and make V yours, it has some unique opportunities to shine.
Last thing I’ll mention is Cyberware/Perks. The whole system was rebuilt and feels like you have a lot more direction for ideas. The bonuses feel specific enough not to be overpowered, but designed enough that you notice the difference.
Overall, it just made it easier to roleplay and imagine yourself in the world of Night City.
^also not having crashes every 30-40 minutes helped^

My second time through was so much better than the first. Half the reason I bought it on release was for that reason. I wanted to see if it would glow-up and it totally did. My first time through felt like a typical FPS, but second time, I was a Deadeye hacker and just went crazy on perks. So many more options for approach now.
