• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hell Is Us lead says Silksong's short notice release date was "a little callous," even if he's happy they didn't delay it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The alternative is to release a date early, have everyone shift around your schedule, find out it’s not done, delay it, have everyone shift around your schedule again, find out it’s still not done, have everyone shift around your schedule YET AGAIN, etc, etc.

  Naw, release games when they are done. Silksong did it right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Far Cry series will push multiplayer "more predominantly" going forwards, according to Ubisoft boss⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol, wut? The entire point of the Far Cry series is the single player.

  Though it has been clear for awhile the single player experience in Far Cry games has been going downhill. With this announcement, any shred of worth in the series is clearly in the past.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft waives fees for Windows devs publishing to Microsoft Store⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They are 15-years too late to try to get people on their store.

  I remember when it first came out, you couldn’t even put normal programs on it. Only the new Metro apps…that flopped. Ah, how I had hoped at the time it would be like Linux’s repos, a one-stop-shop to update everything.

  This wouldn’t bother me if the creator could opt-in and users could opt-out. But, both are being forced into this. And I just hope in a year or two it doesn’t turn out Google fucked every classic video.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt data⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  50GB of write is pretty easy to get to. That is a single game download.

  So, if you own an affected drive, gotta be really fucking careful using Steam on Windows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rumor: There Is A Performance Gap Between Switch 2 Game Cards Vs. Internal Storage⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Switch could easily copy the game from the card to the local SSD and remove any performance penalty. Just like computers used to do with games on CD.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Krafton claim former Subnautica 2 leads have "resorted to litigation to demand a payday they haven't earned"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They shouldn’t have promised a massive bonus for an on-time delivery if what they actually wanted was a fully baked game. You get the performance your KPIs measure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  site now part of ‘CoreAI’ team

  Are they trying to make GitHub into something that creates code instead of something used for collaboration and hosting of code? Ewww.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AWS deleted my 10-year account and all data without warning⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The cloud is just someone else’s computer.

  you should never trust cloud providers with your only copy of anything

  Absolutely not. That data should be in at least two places. A local and a remote is the general setup. If a cloud provider is the main source of the data, the ‘remote’ location would probably be your house. ;p

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar is now 41% cheaper than fossil fuels, UN report shows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for the link, that is exactly what I was looking for.

  For the chat, going to link the main graph with that info (page 8):

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar is now 41% cheaper than fossil fuels, UN report shows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish these reports would include required other costs, as solar needs to be paired with grid-scale storage or, more often, peaker natural gas plants. Both of witch are pretty expensive.

  It may still be cheaper, I honestly don’t know, because all the reports leave such necessary, and expensive, things out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Battlefield 6's PC specs don't look too lofty despite all the booms, and Steam players won't need the pesky EA App⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And for Windows players, this means the game will have root access to everything on your machine. I can’t imagine desiring to give up that much control just for a game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Gamers Nexus] The ASUS Dumpster Fire⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, ASUS is in an awful state. Their Armory Crate malware* really just takes the cake on the whole thing.

  *It literally survives through a full format and will run on your computer without any human interaction if you buy an ASUS mohterboard. It’s malware.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Killing Games' proposals would make online-only games "prohibitively expensive to create", argue EU lobby group⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not even that, releasing the server software as a compiled binary would fit the bill.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨7-Zip for Windows goes massively parallel with first ‘Threadripper Edition’ — five years after Threadripper debut, Version 25.00 the first to support more than 64 threads⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I pack up full hard drive images from time to time (think 100+GB files). More threads is always welcome!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Killing Games' proposals would make online-only games "prohibitively expensive to create", argue EU lobby group⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How I read this: ‘This legislation banning toxins would make putting lead sweetener in wine very difficult’

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THE FINALS is getting new kernel-based anti-cheat, likely to break it on Linux, SteamOS, Steam Deck⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m just happy I don’t have to think about kernel-level anti-cheats now. No way in hell do I want any game to have that much power over my machine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The UK Stop Killing Games petition has reached 100.000 signatures⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the required amount for it to continue in the UK legal system, correct?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eve Online developers CCP are being sold off, according to reports⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that was a very, very odd choice.

  You have Eve Online, a PC exclusive MMO. And you try to sell the playerbase on a PS3 game? Most of them literally don’t have the proprietary hardware to run that game but 100% of them have a gaming PC sitting right in front of them…

  This isn’t to say don’t include the PS3, but why the hell wasn’t it on PC where the entire Eve fanbase is?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eve Online developers CCP are being sold off, according to reports⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  CCP and their affiliates have been incurring sizeable losses instead. They released a mobile game, EVE Echoes, via NetEase shortly after the acquisition, but this has apparently fallen short of expectations, and CCP are now focusing rather heavily on “web3” games fuelled by blockchain bullshit. They are also still trying to make an EVE Online FPS, despite screwing this up three times in a row.

  CCP had a one-hit-wonder and never again figured out how to make a game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Beta finally enables Proton on Linux fully, making Linux gaming simpler⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a good change. One of my friends had some confusion over the install button not appearing for some small games, he had to go toggle this on. It being available by default for all games is great!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Survey shows Gmail users would gladly sacrifice features for more privacy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And this is exactly why I use ProtonMail. My old Gmail is now a junk folder I check…about never.

  Victory!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨internal docs show Pornhub had 706,000 videos in May 2020 flagged for child rape or other problems, often not removed until flagged 16+ times⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Manual reviewers basically sort by ‘most flagged’ and start working down the list. By the time you get to just a few flags, it’s 99.99% BS flags, such flagged videos obviously would not be taken down and are in very, very numerous quantity. Videos that get flagged by more people are obviously more likely to be real flags and worthy of a reviewer’s time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Match to lay off 13% of staff⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why the hell does Match.com have 2,500 employees?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft says new accounts will be passwordless by default⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The gold standard is providing something you know (a password) alongside something you have (an OTP or fingerprint). This is two-factor auth in a nutshell.

  using your face, fingerprint, or PIN

  You leave fingerprints and images of your face everywhere you go; and in the case of someone spoofing those, there is zero way to change either. Such public information is not the foundations of a secure system.

  And a PIN is just a shorter, shittier password. Why the hell would we replace a normal password with the least secure, most shitty version of a password?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kansas wants to use AI to spot guns in schools. One major company won’t say how often the system fails⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You want to help people so they don’t feel murder is their best choice in life, and if they do, you need to stop the threat. Having a camera go ‘someone might have a gun, I promise this isn’t the 1000’th false positive’ right as they start murdering people isn’t helpful.
