Dang coming in clutch, my friend

I was able to register, thank you so much!

Check out Tildes

I would if it wasn't invite-only :/

Half the reason I was on reddit was to engage in discussions, and that's largely lost if I'm just scrolling through an unfiltered news feed with no way to participate.

I'm 100% not okay with stealing and ransoming people's personal information, but this makes me want to be 99% not okay with it.

Is this just SMTV: Royal? Like basically the same game but with some added content?

What are your options?

Cemu or original hardware? I love playing the original on the Wii U but it's cool upscaling to 1440p

Picked up Paper Mario TTYD on Switch to see what all the hype is about, and yeah honestly all the OG fans were right about it. It's the best one I've played in the series by a longshot.

Without context, I would assume Sticker Star and Color Splash released before TTYD - as if they were still figuring out where to go with the series, and would eventually evolve into something better as technology advanced. Then TTYD comes along, and not only has more mechanical depth, but also so much more life and creativity in it.

I like the idea of rolling release in theory, but stability is extremely important to me because I use Linux as my daily driver.

EndeavourOS and Manjaro aren't really going to do much to address your desire to use terminal more than Mint IMO, either; most mainstream distros like that emphasize usability first and foremost.

If you're looking to really get under the hood, go with Arch ans follow a guide so you don't bork anything too badly. Arch uses a different package manager than Mint/Ubuntu, so some of the commands might look different if you're not following Arch-specific guides, but terminal is terminal is terminal in many cases. You can run Steam on Arch, and building the core functionality on your own will get you acquainted with terminal.

Although I've used everything from Arch to Zorin, and eventually you will have to use terminal for something. Just depends on what your longterm goals are, what usability you will need to rely on quickly, and how you think you'll get to those goals most efficiently.

Sounds like you should just use Mint, especially if you tried and like it. It's customizable, GUI friendly, it's based on Ubuntu so most guides for either will work, and you can download Steam to it and play native games (or Windows games through Proton).

I don't know what you're looking for, that Mint doesn't provide. You can download different DEs or window managers, you can write your own bash scripts, and the core functionality for regular use is already there.

The issue is voters talk about how regular people are doing, while politicians talk about “the economy” which is rich people and business…

This, 100%.

Ask some person on the street how their stock portfolio is looking, and they'll probably be like "The F are you talking about???"

Ask the same person about the cost of groceries, and they'll have a rant locked and loaded about why a 12 pack of soda costs $10 now.

When people respond to these surveys, they are taking their experiences with them, and most of us are seeing expensive gas, expensive groceries, expensive housing, and jobs that don't pay enough to live. People couldn't afford to live on $8 an hour a decade ago, and now everything costs more.

This has downstream effects in that it makes it harder to switch jobs because you cant wait two weeks for your new job to kick in - much less afford to take off work to go to an interview. You can't move to a city with more opportunities because cities are more expensive and you can't even afford to save up enough to make the move because you're paycheck to paycheck. Jobs paying "market rate" for wages which is dragged down because the system keeps people desperate enough to work for cheap.

These are people who have had to live with the boot of the economy on their necks for a long time. And while politicians can talk about all the great jobs out there and how amazing the economy is, for real people that boot is just stepping down harder. It's no wonder they blame leadership when this is their experience with this economy.

Pollution, climate change, unchecked capitalism, VR headsets... I'd say we're just a few decades out from a dystopian cyberpunk era

Genre mismatch might be a factor? Don't Starve is not an action-roguelite like Binding of Isaac; it's a survival-crafting game. They are aiming to be vastly different experiences.

For those who can't watch right now

I thought Tommy was the White Power Ranger?

The amount of time to build something like this seems like it would offset the amount of effort it would take just to write good character dialogue. AI tools are basically word calculators, which means you have to provide data for the LLM, which means time to produce this data, time to build guardrails, etc. Even in this implementation, they say they had to build guardrails so that they don't say anything "harmful."

There are also a number of lawsuits going on that will set a precedent for how training data can be utilized in commercial products. While I expect them to take the side of large corporations with vast resources at the expense of ethics, there's the possibility that they will do the right thing. This will affect how AI tools wil be used in such contexts.

So is this stock Yuzu without any changes? IIRC the legal issue was something about circumventing copy protection, so would this project be subject to the same issues?

Also, how do I verify that this fork isn't malware wrapped in emulator code?

"Monado" has no specific meaning and is just a name.

As a Xenoblade fan, I call BS.

But I do expect we'll see more open source VR solutions and support as adoption increases. They're still in that phase of expensive luxury goods in most cases - PSVR costs more than a PS5 and also requires one to work, Index is $1000, and I don't even know where the Apple headset got its pricing.

Most of these also want to lock down their VR as a platform, instead of being ubiquitous hardware like a monitor, and I think lack of standardization is gonna hurt them in the long run by narrowing their audience.

He got it off a hair dryer!

Trust him, he's an expert on not paying bills.

I don't know if you're into gaming, but Steam Next Fest has a demo for a claymation adventure game called Harold Halibut that's pretty awesome

Also Jack and the Cuckoo Clock Heart was great and I don't hear many other people talk about it

But deliberately misunderstanding the term antisemitism is also quite frustrating.

Given how the term is broadly understood in modern usage, I wouldn't say the players are misunderstanding it; I think it's more a question of misidentifying where the pushback is actually coming from.

And I am sympathetic, given all the reasons both modern and historical that might make it easy to infer antisemitism. But starting there shuts out any possibility for nuance or discussion or learning.

What frustrates me is how hard it is to get people out of that mindset - of taking things other people are communicating and adding one's own assumptions on where they're coming from. You have to be able to recognize how your behavior is limiting your ability to empathize and grow, and that kind of change can be so challenging.

It feels like an uphill battle, but positive change doesn't happen overnight.

I'm no linguist, but aren't Palestinian people also under the umbrella of Semites? Like, by definition?

Alternative headline:

"Brits F**k Around, Find Out"

With horror movies, you at least have that layer of knowing it's not real. Seeing the real horrors of mankind without that to protect you is truly disturbing.

I'd hope some of it gets socked away for any possible time in the future when costs may be greater.

As for the rest of it, I'd like to see it used to grow the platform - marketing to increase user base, more developers, etc. Whatever makes sense.

Maybe we'll finally get a playable version of Kingdom Hearts

Sure, but only if you count stealing nudes off her underage daughter's phone then keeping the child porn in her possession for an undetermined amount of time until she found a spiteful enough reason to tweet them out to her 3.5 million followers being abusive.

Yeah in my experience it's largely where you go.

Leftist spaces obv have a lot more Palestinian independence discussion.

There are lots of moderate spaces that allow open discourse that still slant toward the anti-genocide part of the equation.

Then you have places like worldnews that heavily moderate out any pro-Palestine discussion and allow for heavy astroturfing. This is kind of a big one because it's one of the more popular places to get non-US news. So if you didn't know how it was being moderated, you might just assume that reddit is just randomly super bloodthirsty or something.

I can't wait to play more JSRF. Haven't grabbed Bomb Rush Cyberfunk yet but super happy to see both official and third party solutions for my fix

Having an actual address is ingrained in all aspects of modern life in the US. Picture trying to get a loan for a car, or applying for a job without an address - mandatory fields when doing either. Then look at the housing market, and it would be obvious to anybody why it's so hard for these people.

I'm not one to tee off on people who show growth and empathy.

Pretty sure Moses wasn't the one in charge of Egypt in Exodus.

Maybe he should stop reading his weekly report about his son's masturbation habits and open a Bible.

Nintendo games might be very family friendly, but Nintendo as a company has a well-earned negative reputation in a lot of verticals including esports and community events.

The article doesn't clarify where the threats were coming from, so it may be for different reasons. And obv it doesn't justify harassing and threatening random employees though.

I guess when they call themselves the party of law and order they're talking about the TV show???

Best case scenario I see, housing market gets worse and more unattainable. Wage slave quarters and company towns could easily be part of that though.

So is this guy, like, the Devil? Every headline I see with him is like "Emperor Palpatine is buying single family homes" where I just assume it's for some nefarious purpose that's gonna benefit his regime and dick over a looooot of people.

I could see them.partnering with phone manufacturers to have it pre-installed like they do with Facebook, TikTok, and all those other apps I have to delete every time I buy a new phone

You appear to be correct!
