Games that are linked with the Steam libraries, distributed through the Steam store, and launched through the Steam client.

It’s true though, Steam has a monopoly on Steam games.

Maybe you could mention a few examples of times they got it wrong, what specifically they said that “didn’t stand up to scrutiny”, and how if at all they responded upon learning about it?

It’s the deficient market hypothesis in action: If someone has money, he must be right. Therefore, give him more money.

That video came up in my youtube recommendations last night, and I watched it. Pretty good, although if you’ve used Windows in the past ten years there aren’t going to be any real surprises in there. It sucks for all the reasons people usually complain about, and it’s all getting worse lately.

Elon cares deeply about the truth and seems as if he has boundless energy to devote to suppressing it.

Thank Goodness You’re Here was good for a few laughs.

Sure they’re utterly boring and stupid now, but just wait until next year when Sirius Cybernetics finally launches its Genuine People Personalities models.

Well I dunno, I just watched their demo video and otherwise know nothing about it, but it looks like an interesting experiment. Maybe some day — if they keep throwing hundreds of billions of dollars at it for another decade or two — it’ll get good enough to justify however much it costs to run.

RUMOR: There is no future for Xbox.

There’s still a catch, though — you have to keep running Windows 10.

I think it would sell better if it had more surface areas for sensors, one near the mouth for a mic, and a big compartment over the nose to contain the battery.

I dunno whether that’s Facebook pushing it more often to men (because their analytics shows it works on their audience) or men clicking on it more often because it works on the Facebook audience.

Some fraction of the harm they do is by carelessness rather than malice. That some mindless algorithm designed to find and exploit for advertising purposes the posts that got the most engagement disproportionately selected ones featuring images of cute teenagers does not seem unlikely even if it wasn’t aimed specifically at middle-aged parents…

Weird that the man assumes those images were chosen to target him, but horrifying that he might be right.

I am taking a break from working on my Skyrim mod list to try getting into Baldur’s Gate 3 for a third time.

My first attempt, I picked “tactician” difficulty, didn’t make optimal choices for character build and party composition, and then quit at the end of act 2 when the fights got too hard. Then I tried honour mode, minmaxed everything, was getting by okay but quit in the middle of act two because playing that way was boring.

So now I’m playing at the default difficulty level, just relaxing and having fun like a normal person.

They tried that. Don’t underestimate the progress already made towards building the Great Firewall of Britain. I guess the main problem was that when the blocking was optional, too many people chose to opt out.

Stop being interested in pornography, teenagers. You’re causing big problems for the government.

There are many possible approaches, depending on the specifics of the game and the level of effort one’s willing to put into it. Plenty of techniques to choose from. Messing with the client-side OS kernel is one that will soon be looked back on as a ridiculous dead-end approach that wasted a lot of people’s time until we all realized it was futile, sort of like the way they used to use deliberate sector misalignments to produce disk i/o errors to prevent people copying floppy disks.
