Except… for the combat. By the end of the game, they need 50 bad guys to even pose a challenge to our Max Paine protagonist. But not in the cut scene, of course. By mid-game, you’ve killed more cowboys than cholera.

There is a beautiful quick-draw mechanic that’s only necessary in 2 (optional) side quests.

I’m so disappointed to see how successful Gamergate was in poisoning people on games journalism. The reason I know this vitriol isn’t organic is because it far outstrips the stakes.

The danger is buying a video game on bad advice and some of y’all are acting like Kotaku raped your mom.

The chuds are calling this games sales as a repudiation of “woke” game design. IDK what’s more pathetic, that they trust the “free market” to be the arbiter of truth, or that they found the pure version of the market in China.

Worst thing to happen to moral philosophy since Sam Harris decided to write a book about it.

Now your just being sad. And still wrong: I only interact with the terminal.

It isn’t, and if you’re manually downloading stuff and putting it in some folders, you’re doing it very wrong.

I don’t understand. My distro doesn’t have any folders.

It plays much better than it did on launch.

I’ve got a 1660Ti, and it’s not perfect but smooth enough to play med settings on 1080p. The biggest thing holding me back was VRAM, so I’m interested how they address that on the older consoles, with an eye toward better performance for me.

If you understand how quantum mechanics works, why are you keeping it a secret?

Neurons communicate through chemistry. The electromagnetic activity is a side effect that we only focus on because it’s easier to detect.

fight me.

The best part of this video is the assertion that slavery as an institution was the violence that instigated Harper’s Ferry, rather than viewing the event as unprovoked violence, or as the “first shot” of the Civil War.

I’ve always thought of dependencies as equivalent to dlls. Is that right? In the past, I’ve had to hunt down dependencies, but all I did was drop them into the right directory and everything worked. Why is Linux so fiddley with dependencies?

Breakfast at 7, lunch at 12, dinner at 5. This is how I learned the number of vertebrae in A&P.

7 Cervical, 12 thoracic, and 5 lumbar.

My disappointment isn’t with the enemy variety or gear drops. It’s with the dead world. My first hours in the game I saw a wolf walk through a herd of deer both ignoring each other. When you’ve just come off RDR2, seeing wildlife as decorations running 2 scripts that both depend on player interaction is lame.

Even FarCry3 had emergent game-play through enemy/wildlife AI.

I’m glad to hear.

Elden Ring’s open world is good, but not their wheelhouse. They certainly embarrassed EA, but I don’t think they’re competitive with Rockstar.

I assumed these were small caliber, having not watched the event.

People keep saying that this guy had no kit, but I’m pretty sure you can’t buy that pistol over the counter, even in America.

This reminds me that ranchers in Colorado, the Dakotas, and Wyoming adjacent to National Parks are gigantic chickens clucking over a few gray wolves.

The most beneficial application of AI like this is to reverse-engineer the neural network to figure out how the AI works. In this way we may discover a new technique or procedure, or we might find out the AI’s methods are bullshit. Under no circumstance should we accept a “black box” explanation.

Horseshoe crabs are vexing. We capture millions for their blood (useful for testing the purity of phama). There are alternatives, but biologist worry that the animals will suffer more if they become useless to humans.
