On this topic, I remember seeing a thread for Frostpunk 2 asking if it had DEI stuff in it.

There aren’t even any real characters in Frostpunk 2. Tf are you talking about DEI for in a game with no real characters?

So, in other words, it’s so users excuse it when it produces dog shit. Got it.

Playing FFXIV for the first time.

I don’t really care for multiplayer games as much since I don’t like to commit my time to others to play games (I like being able to get up and leave when I need to), but there’s a solo challenge that sounded fun, so I’m giving that a shot.

Is this supposed to be a leading question? I’m not making the decisions, but there’s no reason to be happy about losing contributors in any case.

It’s supposed to put the LF in line with sanctions rather than at risk. They have no control over the invasion (aside from pushing a malicious patch that shuts down all Linux systems or something)

My understanding is that users can edit the chat themselves.

I don’t use c.ai myself, but my wife was able to get a chat log with the bot telling her to end herself pretty easily. The follow-up to the conversation was the bot trying to salvage itself after the sabotage by calling the message a joke.

Factorio. Probably for the next month or so as well.

I’ll give it about two weeks before some random court in Texas tries to block it.

Factorio is not for everyone, but it’s also one of the all stars of its genre. With the upcoming expansion in a couple weeks, it’ll probably eat another few hundred of my free hours over the next few months, and I know I’m not alone on this one.

Same devs also made Sea of Stars. I found it to be pretty fun.

Fortunately, if you need character backstories and such, you could instead read the books or watch the TV series instead. I jumped straight into Witcher 3 and had no issues with missing background knowledge.

That’s not to say you shouldn’t play 1 or 2 though, just that there are other options.

200V refers to the gen then? I saw the article mention some CPUs in the 200s so I guess that makes sense.

Odd choice to go with a V suffix though for a part that would probably explode if provided 200V power (at the usual current levels it draws anyway). Imagine a laptop CPU that draws 2000W and is somehow an improvement over previous gen - actually, that’s a very Intel thing to do now that I’m thinking about it.

I think we’re gonna need some updated naming wheels for the new generations of processors. I have no clue if a “Ryzen AI 300” is supposed to be a high-end, mid tier, or budget processor, nor what the Intel Core Plus Ultra whatever (that somehow draws 200V power?) is.

For what it’s worth, I feel the same way about normal settings for FP1 in that it’s pretty easy. Switching to extreme though, it felt as though I needed to play perfectly to finish a scenario. To me, I think it comes down to most of the difficulty being frontloaded. A solid start sets you up for the rest of the game, while a rough start can ruin a run as the game continues to kick you down with every temp drop, event, etc.

From what I understand, it’s Bevy ECS + a custom renderer, and likely some other custom code.

I keep looking at this game not because I want to play it, but because I want to see how it was made. As someone who’s played with bevy a bit, it’s amazing to me what they were able to do with it, and it would be so cool to see how it was done.

Reddit makes an anti-user change. In other news, grass is green.

I haven’t been on the site in over a year and nothing since then has convinced me to go back. Maybe I’m lucky that I’m not in any Reddit-only communities, but it could also just be that I treat those communities as though they don’t exist and never had a reason to join one as a result.

I made the mistake of starting Frostpunk (1) since I saw that 2 released. It’s an incredibly well-made game. The art style is beautiful, the game is intense, there is a lot of emotion, and it does its one thing just so well. Unlike a lot of modern games these days, Frostpunk wants you to lose, which is fitting for its setting. It sees that you’re behind, then kicks you in the shins for good measure rather than lending a helping hand. I’ve lost so many hours of my time to this game in the past week.

I’ve read that Frostpunk 2 is a completely different game. That one might be next on my list if I get to it before Factorio updates and the expansion for it comes out.

Looks like you’re safe buying a Tesla.

Their GPUs are already bricks. Just throw the GPUs.
