  • What largest explorable towns/cities from videogames do you remember?

    Jump

  • The one that really impressed me was the capital on Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. At one point I was walking on top of the walls surrounding it and looking around for a nice screenshot and I was just in awe of how great that city was.

  • If conditions on earth are perfect for life to form shouldn't have happened more than once?

  • It's like when playing the lottery, if you say you're picking all your numbers in a sequence, like 1,2,3,4,5 and 6. People will tell you're crazy because sequences like that "never" happen. But the same is true for every other combination of numbers too. The sequence just makes it clearer how unlikely you are to ever pick the winning numbers.

  • Oh Honey, do you really think it matters if he "has the power" to do it or not?

  • Everyone's Dream

    Jump

  • Well there's two different things that people who relate to this picture may want: either the nature or the solitude (sometimes both); for the second, part of the fantasy is that they would never have to deal with anyone.

    In reality what people want may be completely different, but the picture passes the message better.

  • Distros

    Jump

  • In the early century I've seen companies bundle an entire pc (with case and all) inside their own products just to avoid dealing with windows CE.

  • What will be the top news headline on the day that you die?

    Jump

  • Top headline will be about some new word the young generation is using. The smaller pieces will say stuff like "are you morally opposed to murder? That may cost you your job! 12 out the 14 companies in America say they wouldn't hire someone with antique puritane views"

  • If everyone spontaneously became the same race the world would realize that the rich are the real problem

    Jump

  • And people would also track down and document what race people used to be before the change happened so that they could keep on hating too.

  • If you were in a room with your own pet and 99 identical pets, how would you pick out your pet (aside from calling their name)?

    Jump

  • If I say "it's here" she'll run towards any window to bark.

  • What is the best Power Outlet, and why?

    Jump

  • It became mandatory for all new products in 2011, so a few years after that most people were used to it, though there's many people still using adapters to this day.

  • Why did thousands of adult titles just disappear from the biggest PC gaming marketplaces?

    Jump

  • Would be fun if steam hid those from anyone who used those specific payment processors while still showing them to people who used alternative options - and then people started to disable those processors due to it.

  • What is the best Power Outlet, and why?

    Jump

  • Type N might not be the best but it was like a gift from heavens here in Brazil. We had no standard before it so most outlets would take one or two unsafe options; most houses would not ground their outlets, people would yank out the ground pin from plugs to make them fit; washing machines would often come with a completely different plug that some houses would just have a different outlet for, while others would use adapters. And so many other issues.

    Nowadays you don't even need to see what you're doing because you can just stick your hand into outlets to feel where it is and insert the plug blindly without any risk.

  • itch.io now seemingly affected by same payment processor rules as Steam

    Jump

  • As someone with no interest in predominantly NSFW games, it does bother me a bit that that is the most common type of game that show up for me unless I disable NSFW completely.

    But my problem is exclusively with the algorithm and not with those games. I'm surprised that in 2025 a 200+ hour rpg with one implied sex scene may get tagged with the same 'NSFW' category as a Sex Simulator type of game, with no way to hide one without also hiding the other.

    All itch.io had to do was create a "monetization-unfriendly" tag and aplly it to those games and hide them behind an opt-in toggle (with some proper notification for current users). They could even target their ads based on that toggle and get even happier advertisers with it.

    Jump

  • I think I had a Mandela effect. I had clear memories of news breaking out about Epic Games acquiring itch.io, but googling for it now, all I see is references to when they added it to their own store.

    Jump

  • ~Tbh it took longer than I expect for the new owners to start ducking itch.io~

    Sorry I think I hallucinated some events.

  • The kind you get from social media randos.

  • Something something history is a flat circle

    Jump

  • At one point long ago (just for a short while), I thought Delphi was destined to take that place. It was much higher level while still letting you go as low level as you wanted- it didn't have garbage collection but it made it pretty easy to keep track of what is or isn't allocated, on top of having good tools to find leaks on runtime. But it had too many problems too: the Pascal base and the association with drag and drop coders being some of the first ones, followed by a series of bad decisions by whatever company was responsible for it at any given week.

  • What should I get my online friend for their birthday?

    Jump

  • A second vote for Core Keeper here. I think it's a safer option than Terraria, which could also be a good option but isn't for everyone.

  • Peak UI Design

  • June and July deserve to share the same U too. In some languages it's only the N/L that changes between them.

  • Everything is so tiny

    Jump

  • Huh, this sort of issue is what made me leave KDE in the first place. Haven't had such problems on gnome.
