Buck it

Yeah, it’s like if you get a water flask at a restaurant and they have some lemon or something in it. It’s still water not soup.

Same idea but vegetables and noodles

Steve from Gamers Nexus was just on Ed Zitron’s podcast talking about Steam stuff. He said in the day they hung out with valve and checked out hardware, they didn’t mention AI once. Isn’t that blissful?

Not faster than south Korea right?

Yeah, definitely as gay as you could be for the time!

I wonder how many officers showed up naked. Maybe a few awakened something

This is fascinating. Were his adopted sons ‘roommates’?

Sigh, new client for me and I am struggling a bit

Thanks!

Okay, I’m super far from a biological/genealogical scientist. What’s promising about that?

I’m not sure how I feel about AI chatbots as NPCs. On one hand, it does add near infinite dialogue options and flexibility to adapt to what a player does. That’s super cool and immersive.

On the other hand, it feels so damn lazy. Like I want to play games with dialogue/story as an art form, not as a “how much time can I spend here”

The Solid Snake method of conversation has taken on meme status in recent years, as players noticed the Metal Gear icon simply repeated the last few words of anything anyone said to him as a question. As was discovered by ‘Hakkix’ on Reddit, you can do the same to game the NPCs in Where Winds Meet. If someone asked you, say, to “Find the buried treasure chest,” you’d respond by saying, “The buried treasure chest?” and so on. Eventually, the NPC gets so confused that they express their gratitude and end the conversation. Whether that’s due to confusion or exasperation is unclear, but the effect is the same.

I mean this is probably fake ragebait for the 4chan crowd

The original Shapez is vertical. I don’t love how it plays on mobile in terms of controls but it works

Exit tax is only if you give up your US citizenship, which you definitely can’t do if you don’t have another citizenship and even then it’s very often not required

When people ask what I miss about the US that’s my first answer.

Tunic is so damn good.

Oh I don’t read much for news. A local paper (which is in a language I barely know), a little on here but most in blocked, and The Onion type publications sometimes.

I still can’t imagine that a news source says “there’s not news now, have some piano” in 2025

There was a day, 18th April 1930, where the BBC reported no news. It really shocks me because of how different the times are now. I can’t imagine there’s any minute that doesn’t have dozens news stories running

I moved to Denmark, so I’m learning danish now. It’s one of the languages of all times for sure. Pronunciation is hyper specific and very different than the written words.

But, depending on the day, getting there. I deal with a lot more of it at work than most in my situation, so it’s expediting my learning (and a massive imbalance to my free time)
