You can always try 4chan’s /r/ board. It’s specifically for requesting shit, usually links to pirated content.

Haven’t teied using it in almost a decade though, so can’t vouch too well for it.

He’s comin’ out again with a good one. Place your bets now ladies and gentleman.

For AI? Corporations. No question.

Microsoft has to bundle its consumer AI products in with other licenses in order to achieve their frankly abysmal adoption rates. They also have recently significantly reduceded plans for further spending on datacenters, indicating that they might already see the writing on the wall.

OpenAI, the most successful AI “corp”, hemorages money to a mind boggling degree and actually loses money per query.

It’s not profitable or sustainable. The market forces, if left alone, would not provide enough demand to cover the astronimical costs. Companies with more money than god like Microsoft and now Softbank (although they are having to take out massive loans now) are burning astronomical piles of cash to prop it up.

There is no world in which the barely marginal convenience outweighs the additional cost (and near certain privacy invasion of a microphone equipped dryer).

I’m fairly sure the update cadence is set by the game dev/publisher, not GoG.

Or speed. Some of the homebrew mods are ridiculous.

XCom and XCom 2 can be played entirely with the mouse. Minor typing if you want to name your soldiers, but nothing requires quick reflexes. Everything is turn based.

There’s an older breakout style game on steam called Shatter that can be played entirely with the mouse and has a banger soundtrack and neat visual style.

Emulation opens up a lot of options for old school turn based games. RPGs, turn based strategy. Any of the Pokemon games gen 1-3 can be played one handed with some clever button mapping. Any game made to use just the Wii-mote as a pointer would also work, but I don’t know those off the top of my head.

You might want to look into one handed controllers, or something like the FLIR USB dongle that you can use to map IR TV remote signals to keyboard button presses. Just need to use a remote that doesn’t already control something.

Have you tried tossing the URLs into yt-dlp? That’s the go-to software for downloading video from streaming sites.

Which one of the four spiritual successors is this one now?

So when someone uses random sludge instead of ink and breaks the printer they can point at that as the cause.

It’s basic CYA. They’ll let you do whatever you want, but if something goes wrong and it breaks then you’re on your own.

https://rentry.co/MR-EverythingWindowsExplained#installing-windows has further info, but tl;dr- install without a key, then use MASgrave after it’s installed.

Matches the lowest historical price. Both for the game and with the DLC pacakaged in.

How exactly? You can’t just say “better because fedi”, that’s a non-answer.

You have got to be an absolute newfriend if you think that shit works at all even for 4chan itself.

4chan’s style as a concept doesn’t work too well with the concepts of the rest of the fediverse. There’s no benefit to federating anonymous image and text posts across multiple servers and merging those feeds together. Especially if the content is meant to be ephemeral, why are you wasting bandwidth replicating it? Hell, with the average lemmy server’s replication delay the original content would be gone before it could replicate anywhere.

There’d also be no reason for each “instance” to not be its own separate entity with no federation. It’s not like 4chan really does crossposting between boards, you just can link between them.

Also, having spent far more time on the chans than is in any way healthy, there still isn’t any real solution for good or consistent moderation. Federation doesn’t inherently make moderation better or easier, if anything it complicates things in that regard.

Edit, additional info: Certain threads on /vg/ have been dealing with their own thread specific trolls for literal years with no mod action. Some of the threads have figured out rough schedules of mods based off what type of shit gets removed and when.

Federation is not a magical pill for better quality. I direct you to explodingheads, or plenty of other examples of shit instances documented by fediseer.

For the record, Sea Of Thieves is also available as a standalone purchase through Steam, bypassing the Microsoft Store and their half abandoned UWP format entirely. Never had any issues with the Steam version on Windows.

I used to have that up at my desk when I did tech support.

Because billions is an absurd understatement, and computer have constrained problem spaces far less complex than even the most controlled life of a lab rat.

And who the hell argues the animals don’t have free will? They don’t have full sapience, but they absolutely have will.

Hey, I think you forgot the link. Sounds fun!

It might be controversial, but I think Twisted Metal would be the perfect fit for a battle royale type game. I’d want it to have a strong single player and local/small scale multiplayer (like the previous ones), but a larger map with the chaos of 100 psychos driving around could be a lot of fun.

Outside of the car though? Maybe some bonus points for how long you can run around without getting popped like a party balloon.

Edit: but we all know this would have been just a shit live service game. So not much lost. Can’t believe no indie dev has come out with a good successor.
