Dwarf Fortress goes that deep. They once had to fix a problem where cats died from alcohol poisoning. Dwarfs in a bar would spill their drinks, the cats would walk through the puddles and subsequently lick their paws to clean themselves. It’s crazy!

Old artificial hearts used to do that. It works but pulsing is better for your long term health IIRC.

But those “struggling users” who may be lacking in social skills, and begin to rely on AI assistants to craft conversations for them, may have difficulty once they arrive on real-life dates, without the use of their phone to help them converse. This could lead to anxiety and further retreat into the comfort of the digital space

That’s the point. Match.com is not interested in finding you the perfect match. They only want to drip-feed you enough real-looking stuff to keep you subscribed.

Oh, thanks. I bought them!

I wonder how this affects all the people who recently got a free premium pass from an Epic giveaway

I really detest people abusing Discord like an unsearchable wiki with dozens of (locked) channels filled with sticky posts.

But why does it always have to become the dystopian art? Why not the post-materialiatic optimistic Star Trek kind of art?

The problem is that they are optimizing for the wrong values. They are looking at retention, but the ideal dating app should have bad retention! You get a couple of matches, you chat, date, exchange real numbers and you’re inactive on the app!

The Netherlands. I checked a lot of major retailers like CoolBlue, MediaMarkt, Informatique, etc. The only radeons are low budget ones.

Except that none of the major retailers in my country sell these.

I’m looking for a new gaming laptop. It’s impossible to find any with an AMD GPU here.

I’m not. Populism thrives when people are dissatisfied and angry. East Germany is economically not as strong as the west, despite decades of reunion.

That’s because Valve isn’t owned by investors

The first one is regularly on sale for $10 or less. Just try it. It’s really good!

I play at most 2-3 games at the same time. 1 story game that requires concentration (currently “Pentiment”), one game I play online with friends (currently “Return to Moria”) and one simple game when I don’t want to think too much (currently nothing, I just finished “Vampire Survivors”)

I’m also a dad with a full time job. As for how I pick my games, if I do the same thing too long I get bored and don’t finish the game. And I like finishing games. So I don’t do two horror games back-to-back, or two survival games, or two FPS, etc. I like to switch up. Before “Pentiment” my focus games were “SOMA”, “Astroneer”, “Conarium”, “Green Hell”, “The Talos Principle” and “Prey”. So, quite varied I think.

There us no need. CrowdStrike was such a disaster for Microsoft that they are already on the path to locking down the kernel. Noboby but MS will have kernel access eventually. Give it a few years (and 1-2 Windows versions)

I do love the carnage, though… When my level 5 or 6 fighter guy swung a regular white text sword for a regular non skill attack and it took out like 5 zombies at once, that was really nice. Never did that in Diablo.

If you think that is carnage, you should see what the end game has in store. You’ll be blasting through hordes and hordes of enemies. You can clear entire maps in a few minutes. It’s a blast!

Yes! Don’t read anything about it. Go in blind.

What are you using? I saw nothing ( Firefox Android + uBlock on a network with a pi-hole)

Have you seen the state of the US? A “clown world capitalist dictatorship” is a pretty apt description
