I’m just a weird, furry, pan guy (cis he/him). I also have a big, blue username. I tend to edit everything I write like a million times within the span of a couple minutes after posting, so if you see one thing and suddenly it changes, that was just a first draft. 😅

However, when someone online shares an opinion and it feels like they might be intolerant and you jump to the conclusion that they are intolerant and you launch into a tirade at them, this is not nice behavior. You didn’t check if they have the opinion you think they have, and that’s simply not nice to someone which you don’t know.

Very much this. Just because someone asked a question, does not automatically mean they are JAQing off. And I see people immediately jumping to that conclusion upon any questions being asked about sensitive topics.

Will we ever get a whole campaign editor/creator (like the Creation Kit or the Aurora Toolset for NWN)? Since they’re not going to add new content, it’d be nice if we could use the game as a sandbox to make our own shit.

That exists. It’s called adaptive charging. If you have a modern Pixel: Just set an alarm before plugging the phone in, and it will slow the charge to hit 100% when the alarm goes off. I don’t know what other phones have this feature but I’m pretty sure it’s just part of Android 14 if the hardware is compatible.

Those things are complicated as fuck. An arcade cabinet is relatively simple compared to a pinball machine. Even modern ones still need all the moving parts for the board; video game just needs the computer, a controller and a screen.

Depends on when it was made. A modern, multi-game cabinet could run entirely on a Raspberry Pi and cost far less to build than a console.

Aside from completely redesigning the world and side quests, there’s nothing they can tack on to the game as is that would make it worth playing again. It’s boring and missing the one thing they actually did pretty well in everything else: environmental storytelling. You can’t exactly use environmental story-telling when your game’s environment is mostly randomly generated; which is what all the areas outside the main cities are. Randomly generated set-pieces that are scattered around an otherwise empty planet.

I would rather play Outer Worlds than Starfield, and I hated Outer Worlds because it was sold to me as being Fallout 4 with a better dialogue system and it’s not even remotely different. Like everyone complained that FO4 only had 3 choices “Yes, no, and funny yes” but that’s exactly how it’s done in Outer Worlds, too.

The terrain isn’t but the POIs are randomly placed. When you open the scanner and see things like “man-made structure” or “cave” or whatever; those are all random and won’t be in the same place for every new game.

The side quests definitely were also lacking. Like, I know there’s only about 4 archetypes of quests (fetch, escort, kill and checkpoint) that you can really do, but you make them interesting with the story and reasons for doing the thing. Starfield really just made a majority of quests “go get this mcguffin because we need mcguffins,” with nothing really cool or interesting about it.

DF was 100% designed around telling a story using RNG. Game is like a mad lib. Starfield didn’t go that far (most games don’t). I actually do not ever expect AAA games with procedural generation to do more than just give you endless repetition over randomness that generate compelling and unique “stories” the way DF or RimWorld do.

“Just hit them randomly until the door opens!”

I don’t know if they wanted to be funny or if even the designers themselves just employed the puzzle because it doesn’t need logic to be defeated if you just keep mashing buttons at random. lol

Based on the rumors, I find it funny they are calling it “lite” or “S” (which usually means “small”) when it’s supposedly a bit bulkier than than 3. The leaked specs make it seem like it’s just a Quest 2 except for having the same CPU as the 3. Bulkier lenses, smaller resolution, same price as the 2. Is the CPU really that much better that it would be worth getting over a Quest 2 (which they probably will stop selling)?

Of course those are just “leaks” and rumors, so maybe it’s not actually that bad. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I really miss having Liftoff work because it has been the only app I’ve used on android that actually had a functioning search feature that let you search individual posts, community names, instances, or users.

@zackitrocity: pls come back 🥺

If you liked RIF on Reddit, it’s far and away the closest I’ve found.

Sold.

Edit: Ooooh yeah… This is way better than Jerboa.

Wait… Like the tech demo game that comes pre-loaded on the PS5?

Kolanaki, (edited )
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

Playstation players are upset by the lack of exclusives. There are like 4 or 5 games that are only on the PS5 and one of them is Astro’s Playroom; a tech demo platformer that comes with the system to show off everything it and the new controller can do. There is nary a reason to move from PS4 to PS5 even if you’re a hardcore Playstation fan.

I’ve heard a few different comparisons between her and the AI in question and, personally, the AI sounds almost exactly like Siri and not really like Johansson other than being a female voice.

Which doesn’t really change the case against the company, just who the victim is. Because Siri is also based on a real actress. Who didn’t even agree to the most of the shit her voice was used for with Siri, either. This new AI voice seems, to me, to be built off Siri’s voice so they’re essentially still using a real person’s likeness without permission.

Boeing Will Launch Starliner With Helium Leak (www.extremetech.com)

Boeing and NASA are moving ahead with the upcoming Starliner demonstration launch despite an active helium leak. The launch is now on the books for Saturday, June 1, at 12:25 p.m. EDT. If all goes as planned, Starliner will rendezvous with the International Space Station the following day and return to Earth on June 10. If not,...

I would say two. Right under the wings.

The California McDonald's rumor is coming from a digital ghost - The writer boosting McDonald's misinformation probably doesn't exist. (www.sfgate.com)

You probably haven’t heard the name Tony Bonnani, but he’s one of the most prolific writers on the internet. He publishes several articles a day, often churning out pieces within minutes of each other. Compared to most journalists, Tony Bonnani writes at a superhuman pace....

I am not only chronically online, I live in California, and I work at McDonald’s; this is also the first I’ve heard about this. If it had any real traction, I think my manager would have probably reassured everyone that isn’t happening, since she’s cool like that.

Blaze Lawless could still be a real name, assuming you go through all the trouble of legally changing your name to it. You’re an adult, presumably. Go be Blaze Lawless. 😎

So is it fair to call them human or is that just sensationalism in the article?

In mine, you will hear the first 2 seconds of a hundred songs before I stop on something I wanna hear. It might be Linkin Park. It might be Ween. It might even be a random video game song. Just depends on what I’m feeling ATM.

Well, we’re not gonna talk about it.
