Oh that's a good tip, thanks!

I bought The Falconeer yesterday, haven't played it yet, I'm looking at my wishlist and considering more options

Computer literacy is weird because it feels like millennials were born into it and had to learn how to use the tools available... Then said tools were made a lot simpler with a lot less control over them, and Gen Z was born into apps and saas and did not have the chance to properly learn

We generally only taught a single generation to master our tech, I think it's scary, but also I trust the Zoomers to figure it out, they're creative

That colour key is also mildly infuriating

Protondb.com is a much better resource than the Deck Verified system, when you want to see if/how a game runs on the Steam Deck ; not saying the article is wrong, but it seems to be a common misconception to see the Deck Verified badge as a must have for a game to run well.

The firm asked over 4,000 people, from baby boomers to Gen Zers, about the categories they intend to splurge on this year. Groceries ranked highest for millennials and Gen Zers, outpacing restaurants, bars, travel, beauty and personal care, apparel, and fitness.

Yeah I mean, we can't afford any of those listed, we just have enough to EAT, crazy right? And it's not even that we spend more on those, it's just that everything has become so expensive

The typical American household would need to spend $445 more a month to purchase the same goods and services as a year ago

The law was repealed in 2015 apparently: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/apr/29/basques-safe-iceland-district-repeals-decree-kill-on-sight

The edict was issued in 1615 after a storm destroyed three Basque whaling vessels on an expedition in Iceland. Eighty members of the crew survived, said Gudmundsson, and were left stranded in the area. “They had nothing to eat, and there were accounts of them robbing people and farmers,” he said.

The brewing conflict between locals and the whalers prompted then-sheriff Ari Magnússon to draw up a decree that allowed Basques to be killed with impunity in the district. In the weeks that followed, more than 30 Basques were killed in raids led by the sheriff and local farmers. “It’s one of the darkest chapters of our history,” said Gudmundsson, noting that the incident known as the Slaying of the Spaniards ranks among the country’s bloodiest massacres.

Four centuries later, Gudmundsson decided it was time to set right the wrongs of history. Last week, at the unveiling of a memorial dedicated to the Basque whalers who were killed, he repealed the decree. “This decision was made 400 years ago and it has never formally been repealed until now.”

I despise Fast Travel in video games, to me it's a feature that appears necessary because no thoughts were given about making the environment interesting to traverse

But in real life ? I crave the time saving it offers

Their post is a bunch of PR hidden by funnyspeak while not addressing people's concerns in any way. The worst is that they're officially ditching LoL on linux because reasons, they're forcing the anti cheat on windows BUT they can't implement it on MacOS because Apple won't allow it

My man you need to spend less time in the shower

And yet he cowardly backed away from a debate with Sanders

As a language model, I laughed at this way harder than I should have

Fishes can bite

Environnement is scary

Parks have other people in them

Yeah, but Helldivers 2 CEO described the challenges of live service games sounds a lot less interesting gotta pump those articles

I guess some laws can be forgotten. From 1800 to 2013, there was a french law that banned women from wearing pants in Paris : http://www.senat.fr/questions/base/2012/qSEQ120700692.html

Don't you think it's weird how COVID happened at some point in human history after we invented the wheel ?

I use the link you shared but I've also been made aware of https://fmhy.net/ which seemed more recent but isn't linked in any other internet presence for fmhy (Reddit, GitHub, etc) ; Basically I'm not sure which one is maintained, trustworthy (maybe both idk) so if anyone has info and or tips about that, they're very welcome!

How does tumblr keep jumping into bad decisions don't they know their audience lmao

You may enjoy Control, I personally couldn't get past the rather uninteresting gameplay and mechanics, but the lore and snippets of story you find scattered around are something else

Over the past several months, we’ve tried to alter our trajectory in many different ways. We asked leaders to make tradeoffs in the things their teams are working on. We rolled out hiring slowdowns, and in some cases hiring freezes. We put an emphasis on controlling costs while strengthening our revenue growth. All of which has without a doubt been tough for our teams.

Executives should have tried harder, for starters maybe they could have made tradeoffs on their outrageous salaries themselves. The current CEO initially served as its chief financial officer and added chief operating officer in 2014, maybe he's the one responsible for Riot's current financial situation.

I would argue voting is one of the lowest forms of participation in the political life of one's country, but that's not a debate I'm ready to have at this hour

I guess different parts of the world have different standards haha, my blood was rising when the price for a tram/bus ticket in Bordeaux went above 1,50€

Uh oh wonder if Retro Deck will do the same

Edit: yeah 🥲

We will go from one of the best year in gaming in terms of releases, to 2024, where I wonder how many games will actually come out given the amount of workers being abandoned

Edit : from https://publish.obsidian.md/vg-layoffs we're only 26 days into this new year and the number of people laid off is already HALF OF THE TOTAL OF LAST YEAR this is insane

Frog Detective?! Absolutely disgusting, what's next, Unpacking? You degenerate 🙃

This website has maps of how french words are pronounced differently depending on where people live, sometimes the words aren't even the same but still refer to the same thing!

https://francaisdenosregions.com/index-des-billets/

Of course it's only interesting if you're into french language haha

Maybe https://writefreely.org/ ? But it's very simple with not a lot of customisation

Or https://joinplu.me/ but its development has been halted lately

You have 800ms snippets of a character walking or shooting in between cinematics, but you gotta be attentive otherwise you'll miss it

Is this list still available somewhere?

Good bot

The name the website is giving them is weird, it's officially the "Regulatory Authority for Audiovisual and Digital Communication", their mission is the same (fighting piracy) so it doesn't really matter but it's still weird to call them by one of their tasks.

Anyway this is an interesting study because of the data, but the reading is obviously biased, they imply that the use of VPNs and what they call "alternative DNS" (yeah guess what, if my ISP blocks websites I'm still going to access them) is suspicious, they do mention security/privacy as one of the usages (it's the two main motivations for the majority of users in their results).

Something interesting : NordVPN is the most used by the panel, I think it's reasonable to explain it by the heavy marketing NordVPN did on french youtube (almost every big youtuber had an ad segment with them), but their results say otherwise, 35% of the panel says it's based on recommendations from closed ones.

I don't know why some in the panel of 3000 people would self report as pirating, it sounds dumb to admit to an infraction to the law.

Edit : Their conclusions are absolutely busted, an example: 26% people using a VPN reported data privacy was their main reason (for 49% it was one of the motivations), next is securing their data against breaches for 23% (44%), piracy fall down as the 6th motivation with 7% (17%) ; their conclusion? "The choice of a VPN is rather simple, to not be tracked and access illegal content" what kind of botched logic is that

On the bright side, Firefox has a 21% market share in France on desktops, yay!

When life gives you Reddit...

I'm not sure if that's what you mean but I don't think you can play the same game at the same time when sharing your Steam library
