  • Game Over: The History Of Barcode Gaming

    Jump

  • Back in the early 2000s there was a Jurassic Park III-adjacent game that used the same gimmick. It was called Scan Command and the idea was the bar code scans would give you genetic parts that you could use to upgrade your dinosaurs. I very quickly found out you could use a thin blanket and rub the scanner back and forth over it to get as many parts as you want.

  • Catholics are like the nerdy collectors of religion. Some of my family members collect Virgin Marys like I collect Gundams.

  • Valve says "the Steam Machine is equal or better than 70% of what people have at home," but I feel like that's missing the point

    Jump

  • The design looks so solid but it's likely not more powerful than an RX 6750XT or RTX3080 so it's not something I'll need sadly.

  • So many people wants us dead because we wants a better world for everyone

    Jump

  • Communist centrally planned economies suck. That's how you end up with panicking factory and farm managers exaggerating their production to the state to not end up in the gulag. A better alternative could be petitioning the government for money to start a worker-owned co-op that produce things at quantities that people would actually want. Do that and keep the government democratic composed of different parties with socialist mindsets at their heart and things should be better for all without the baggage of authoritarianism.

  • I'd pay good money to see this parody

    Jump

  • I'd much prefer to see Bean Bean instead.

  • Valve reveals new Steam Hardware for Early 2026

    Jump

  • The Steam Frame seems just the thing I need to get back into VR gaming. Hopefully it costs less than the Index.

  • Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment Review (Switch 2) | Nintendo Life

  • Drive through etiquette

    Jump

  • When an organization targets a metric, that same metric will then fail it eventually. It even happened to the Soviets when plant managers had to over report production or else face the wrath of the administration. I often wonder why management can't just realize some things are better left untouched lest they break something.

  • Linux users have no reason to worry about recent AMD GPU driver changes [driver for GPU series RX 5000 and RX 6000 are going into "maintenance mode" is just for Windows]

    Jump

  • Linux Mint still has problems displaying games after the system wakes from sleep for some reason. Maybe Bazzite or Pop_OS would work better?

  • Multilingual people, do you feel better about yourself than those that only speak one language? Monolingual people, do you envy/admire Multilingual people? And why?

    Jump

  • Spanish, English, and some Japanese here. I feel it's easier to pick up underlying patterns in vocabulary between languages which in turn lets me understand the written form of other related languages (Portuguese and Italian due to Spanish, some Chinese too). I don't really consider monolingual to be all that different though I figure it can limit their ability to travel the world unhindered somewhat. I notice a very slight change in my personality depending on the language I'm speaking, like I get a little less patient when talking in Spanish and speak a little faster too.

  • Elon Musk’s Grokipedia launches with AI-cloned pages from Wikipedia

    Jump

  • Holy shit. They claim Einstein's Theory of Relativity has something to do with moral relativism? That's so fucking stupid.

  • Spices in Coffee

    Jump

  • Orange peel, anise, cloves, cinnamon, and brown sugar work really well together.

  • Career Advice

    Jump

  • Depends on what job you're in. If it's highly technical and niche you'll have an easier time finding a better job. A competitor recently tried to poach me for a 50% raise but I turned them down since they didn't have hybrid work available. Sometimes it's better to stick with a job that offers things you value more than money.

  • Spoiler Alert

    Jump

  • Life is one big horror film.

  • Not quite sure that's right

    Jump

  • I once went to a free lunch event hosted by a local church. The guy in there trying to convert me was using the story of how Moses (the "let my people go" guy) built an Ark that somehow proved God loved mankind.

  • People who don't like math, why?

    Jump

  • It's really hard to understand some of it. It might've been fun if I had good math instructors for every class at every step of the way from algebra to ordinary differentials. Because so much material builds on what was taught before, it gradually got more and more incomprehensible until I gave up trying to understand it halfway through cal 2 and just memorized the important parts enough to pass. Besides that, I rarely see applications in day to day life past basic algebra. It's not like I'm gonna take careful measurements of how fast my car's going to derive my exact fuel consumption rate. It's easier to just go off the odometer and gas pump readings between fills for instance.

  • System Shock 2 (1999) is getting delisted and bundled with the 25th Anniversary Remaster

    Jump

  • Wait long enough and the bundle will cost about as much as it does now when on sale.

  • Working in a large corporation is a place where you get paid for

    Jump

  • All this is great if you're working remote. At least you can be far away from a cubicle or even worse - an open office while doing all this nonsense.

  • You're not alone

    Jump

  • To be paranoid nowadays is just being aware you're under constant government and corporate surveillance for their profit/political gain.

  • If A.I. is so fast and efficient, and CEOs are paid so much, why not replace CEOs with A.I.?

    Jump

  • Because deep down the shareholders and executives know the company will lose money if an AI CEO is in charge. AI can't even take orders in a drive through ffs.

    The term carrot and stick doesn't sit well with me. If you hit a donkey with a stick then it's likely it won't trust you enough to accept a carrot later.
