System Shock 2, one of the best horror game FPSes from the 90’s. If you liked the first two Thief games, it was made by the developers of them. Immersive simulations like Bioshock, STALKER, and Prey 2016 were inspired by this particular game. The remaster of SS2 is to be released on the 26th.

Me and the other residents, if there was money to spare. Unfortunately, the economy doesn’t lend itself to getting a job that lets people to be adults and human at the same time. The bread victor shouldn’t have to sacrifice their happiness for keeping the place in better shape.

- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 5 days ago:
The elimination of ghost jobs, for a start. If you have to jump through hoops for a job that doesn’t exist, that instills a strong distrust in society. People need money to make headway in their life, and shit like ghost jobs corrode the feeling of hope.
Once you cannot feel love for living anymore, that is a great deal of space in one’s heart to be filled with hatred.

The plumber a couple weeks ago showed me some pictures of the pipes from the inside. It explains why I needed filter cartridges for my shower, why my sink needed looking at, how come the toilet was losing flushing power, and why the water heater’s recirculator never worked. Turns out, the thing burned out from debris.
This residence totally needs a revamp, well beyond my means. 😒
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 1 week ago:
The pipes in my residence are at least 60 years old, made of metal, and the resulting water tastes a bit suspect. I get water from the grocery store and put it in the water cooler. Costs about $10-20ish for 20 gallons, but probably far safer than what the tap provides.
Replacing all of the pipes would cost $1,9000+. 😨

- Comment on IRS tax filing software released to the people as free software 2 weeks ago:
Being an open source program, the Blue States can modify it for their own taxation apparatus. The money intended for the Federal can be held in escrow, then released into service of the states if the Federal doesn’t negotiate with the Blue States in good faith.
- Comment on IRS tax filing software released to the people as free software 2 weeks ago:
I think that California and the Blue States will make good use of this, considering the shit that the Trump Regime has been pulling.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a meme causes Trump to send troops somewhere, only for it to turn out to be a trap.

You are a jerk.
Also, I don’t touch produce. When I deal with these plastic bags, I am using them to line my thermal bag, to carry home my hot meal of fried or glazed chicken. This is because the carrying pouch the store puts the chicken into has air holes - which means that my thermal bag would get dirty.

The struggle is real.
…the easiest way to open these IME, is to lightly lick your thumb and the neighboring finger. This makes the respective sides of the bag stick to them for easier opening.

I wish Microsoft would just let me buy a copy of Windows 11 Ultimate and be done with it. No restrictions, no bloat, privacy, just an exchange of money for a product.
- Comment on The IRS Tax Filing Software TurboTax Is Trying to Kill Just Got Open Sourced 2 weeks ago:
I can see the EU funding it. This could be a measure to allow Blue States circumvent the federal system - a CaliTAX, AlohaTAX, ect. This would be vital during a civil war scenario, so that the Blue States can having working taxation systems without having to redo everything.

…yeah, we might need a generation of phones built to be a tank, just so we can properly communicate our wrath to the other person.
Huh. Maybe a ‘soundboard’ app, which allows you to hang up the current call with a sound effect?

My residence has a Ring doorbell. I wish that I owned the house, so that it was never installed in the first place.
- Comment on What are some good cooperative shooters? Hidden gems? 4 weeks ago:
Earth Defence Force. Basically, you are participating in a B-movie scenario, with UFOs, kaiju, giant ants, flamethrower clams, and winged frogs. It is quite a good time, and the higher difficulties require genuine skill and cooperation.
EDF 6 is the best in the series from a gameplay standpoint, but is far weaker than 4 or 5 when it comes to the level design + narrative. Still, the QOL pushes the game to the next level, especially if you got pals to tackle the missions. There many different weapons, not just in power, but also shot pattern, reload style, knockback, and so forth. Also, there WILL be hundreds of enemies on onscreen at any given moment. Each of the four classes have very distinct characteristics when it comes to loadout, mobility, and purpose, so you should be able to find a good match for yourself.
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies 4 weeks ago:
Yup. I would have bought Persona 5 Royale and SMT V on day one, if there was no Denuvo. I normally don’t open my wallet for $60 games.
Super Robot Wars Y? Not on my radar anymore. Denuvo has cost the companies at least $300+, and I am not a rich dude.
- Comment on SteamOS finally released by Valve 4 weeks ago:
This is the big reason why I want to hop aboard an Arch SteamOS desktop train. If I ever have to wrangle with technical issues, or goddess forbid, the terminal, I want the documentation to be there to walk me through it. My first attempt at transitioning over to Linux Mint didn’t work out, since there were technical issues that got in the way of fully replacing Windows 11.
Having reliable compatibility reduces the need for documentation, and a standardized platform for the documentation helps even more.
- Comment on Otherworldly Munchkin: Let's Speedrun the Dungeon with Only 1 HP! | Key Visual 4 weeks ago:
That is incorrect, at least as far as the manga goes. It is heavily oldschool D&D inspired, using things like dice rolls, vancian magic, and technical arguments for getting the edge. Plus, solid narrative and encounters where the protagonist isn’t OP. The OP specifically chose an octopus familiar, because each limb counts as an action under the ruleset.
This particular manga is closer to Goblin Slayer, Speedrunner, and Dungeon Meshi in spirit. Hopefully, that translates onto the silver screen as well.

Personally, I think government systems are actually a type of technology. Unfortunately, they aren’t the kind of research where you can easily experiment and iterate upon, since people tend to die in massive numbers if the experiment fails.
- Comment on AI Could Be the Most Effective Tool for Dismantling Democracy Ever Invented 5 weeks ago:
My takeaway: if they don’t respond to evidence in good faith, you can simply consider them as enemies. From there, the only time to argue with them is when you want to convince other people in the room about your position. The court of public opinion is the key to obtaining a better society.
- Comment on AI Could Be the Most Effective Tool for Dismantling Democracy Ever Invented 5 weeks ago:
I think rejecting AI is a mistake. All that does is allow fascists to have mastery of the tools. Like money, guns, media, food, oil, or any number of other influential things, you don’t want a select few people to have sole control over them.
Instead, we should adopt AI and make it work towards many good ends. For example, we can someday have AI that can be effective and cheap lawyers. This would allow small companies to oppose the likes of Disney in court, or for black dudes to successfully argue their innocence in court against cops. AI, like any tool, reflects the intent of their user.
