I’m going to guess that historically prolific colonisers voted no.

People for the last twelve thousand years: “Hunting and gathering cannot support the needs of a growing population. We should create a system where crops can be grown efficiently and in high quantities, and animals can be bred and raised. It will be labour-intensive and require specialized knowledge, skills, and equipment, it will lead to the economic stratification of society, but it’s the best way to not have most of our people starve to death.”

One guy who recently read the Communist Manifesto (abridged version): “But food is literally free!”

Regular or long-term use of over-the-counter painkillers will fuck up your liver and kidneys. Acetaminophen/paracetamol harms the liver, and ibuprofen and aspirin harm the kidneys.

I don’t know the exact situation with Rainbolt, but it’s common for stream clip channels (even “official” ones) to be operated by people other than the streamer. Example.

Suddenly want to play Half-Life 2 again, wonder why

I thought they were wearing prison jumpsuits.

Then you should hold yourself to higher standards than “people”.

consumers

This is very much a pet peeve, but be careful about how you use “consumer” versus “customer”. They each imply completely different power dynamics.

POW is a far higher cost on your actual users than the bots.

That sentence tells me that you either don’t understand or consciously ignore the purpose of Anubis. It’s not to punish the scrapers, or to block access to the website’s content. It is to reduce the load on the web server when it is flooded by scraper requests. Bots running headless Chrome can easily solve the challenge, but every second a client is working on the challenge is a second that the web server doesn’t have to waste CPU cycles on serving clankers.

POW is an inconvenience to users. The flood of scrapers is an existential threat to independent websites. And there is a simple fact that you conveniently ignored: it fucking works.

(I can’t believe “none pizza left beef” has a wikipedia page)

No numbers, no testimonials, or even anecdotes… “It works, trust me bro” is not exactly convincing.

I want to see puzzles that are implemented using the physics engine. And I don’t mean “toss the axe in the proper arc to trigger the gate” physics. I mean “stack the bricks on one end of the seesaw to balance it long enough to make the jump to the next platform”. Or “use the blue barrels’ buoyancy to raise the platform out of the water”.

That’s a poython constructah, __init__?

They absolutely are, in terms of gameplay. Ozzy Mandus and The Crank Hog Machine sacrificed most of the gameplay Frictional’s Amnesia became known for. There are no light mechanics. Barely any physics puzzles. The pigmen are braindead, which removes the challenge and the tension. Even if it’s a better story and atmosphere than The Dark Descent, it’s a lesser game. Even Still Wakes The Deep only goes as far as “throw the object to make the thing look away” when you’re not just responding to non-diegetic prompts.

You can make the argument that walking simulators have a place in the gaming landscape, and you’d be right, but by their nature, they are the exact opposite of what Bloodlines 1 was and what Bloodlines 2 should have been. Why Paradox decided it was a good idea to entrust with it a studio that has only made things that it never should have been is a fucking mystery to me.

You can very easily fuck up your NTFS filesystem and make it unmountable in Windows. Would anyone be surprised to learn that not even Windows is fully compliant with the NTFS specifications? Some characters, like :, are valid for NTFS filenames, but illegal in Windows, and if you create such a file (e.g. in a wineprefix’s dosdevices), Windows will refuse to mount it. Ask me how I know.

The solution is to specify the windows_names option every time you mount the filesystem, both in fstab and when using mount.ntfs.

Valve revolutionized Linux gaming; Tim categorically rejects it.
Valve banned shitcoins and blockchain scams; Tim welcomed them with open arms.
Valve enforces honesty regarding AI slop; Tim wants to literally deceive people.
All that on top of what they did with third-party exclusives.

He’s like that annoying kid who didn’t get invited to a birthday party and vowed to always do the opposite of what the popular kid does. Petulant fucking overgrown child.

For over-the-shoulder games, separate field-of-view AND CAMERA DISTANCE.

For player-hosted games, an option to reject hosts using unsuitable hardware or low bandwidth, high latency networks. My gripe is specific to Warframe on the Switch 1, but if the developers of any game can’t/won’t operate public game servers and choose to offload the responsibility to the players, the choice should belong to the players.

If this is as significant an issue as you imply, please link some credible sources.

As far as I can tell, the “Chinese server” (or EU server) is just a public ID and Relay server, and necessary for the application to function unless a self-hosted server is used.

You can host the open-source ID and Relay servers for simple remote access at no cost. The pro subscription is mainly about account and device management.

Then why are you complaining about not getting a Gamers Nexus video that benchmarks game performance spelled out to you when it isn’t even relevant to your use case?
