  • Predictions

  • It's a reference to a meme that was particularly popular on Tumblr at some point, it's called Apollo's Gift of Prophecy Dodgeball, you can google that to see some examples. Basically when someone makes an obvious and ridiculous joke that (much) later turns out to be true, they were struck by the dodgeball of prophecy.

  • After watching a mad scientist/chemistry youtuber NileRed trying to cook, I think that those skill sets are completely separate and may, in fact, be mutually exclusive to some degree.

  • I use mine on a sofa (for gaming, even!), but I get around the issue a bit by having a pad under the laptop. It's literally just a hard plastic board with a beanbag attached underneath, I think I got it from IKEA. It isolates the laptop a bit from dust and improves airflow + lets it heat up without burning my knees + the one I have is just large enough that I can also use my wireless mouse on it when I push my laptop to the left.

  • I dunno about that, recent knitting drama took a while to clear up, and I'm not sure if AI sceptics are as determined a crowd as pissed off knitters.

    (Tl;dr on the drama: there was video on SciShow about knitting that many (myself included) felt was not well researched, misrepresented the craft, and had a misogynistic vibe. It took a lot of pressure from the knitting community to get, in order, a bad "apology", a better apology, and the video taken down.)

  • Necesse Version 1.0 | Launch Trailer

    跳过

  • I've only played EA for less than 10 hours, but it was fun. It's kind of a top-down Terraria. I put it down because I wanted to wait for some features from the next patch, which came out and delivered those features but then also promised some even more exciting features in the next patch and so on. Launch may be a good time to get back in since they didn't announce an exciting post-launch roadmap yet.

  • Necesse Version 1.0 | Launch Trailer

    跳过

  • It's more of a top-down Terraria than a pixel shooter, with procedurally generated world, village building (with npcs that can do jobs there), gear upgrades and boss fights. That comparison might make it a bit less ridiculous.

  • Recommendations for the current sale

    跳过

  • Fair warning: lots of roguelikes on this list. Just seems like the devs of these games really like 2d non-demanding visuals. And I don't know how low do you need to go, so check these individually.

    Don't even need a sale for Moonring, which is a retro turn-based RPG, completely free. Runs on a potato.

    Original Monster Train should work decently well, it's 90% off.

    Shogun Showdown is really cool, 50% off. Necesse is a very fun Terraria-like, coming out of EA in like a week and on sale now.

    Look into Reus 2, very fun, but it's got some more visual effects so may be a bit too much. Same with Astral Ascent, one of my fave action roguelikes but, well, it's action. Needs a decent framerate. Same with Dead Cells, Cult of the Lamb and Chronicon - great games, 2d, but may require a basic dedicated video card or a beefy integrated one.

    Spellcaster University is not a forever game but it'll be fun for a while.

    Cook Serve Delicious series is really good. You can start with 1, they are each a bit different.

    Cross Code if you want an RPG. Citizen Sleeper or Road Warden if you want an RPG that's borderline a visual novel. Slay the Princess if you straight up want a visual novel.

    Library of Ruina and Lobotomy Corporation if you're a masochist who likes a good story.

    Then there's eternal classics like Stardew Valley, Balatro, Terraria,FTL, Into the Breach, Slay the Spire or Binding of Isaac: Rebirth.

    And on the incredibly niche side of things, I recommend Intergalactic Fishing and Rings of Saturn.

    Hopefully something from this list catches your fancy!

  • In this case:

    • this comic artstyle is very characteristic of AI, down to the line weight, facial expression (these soulless eyes and smile), and how the character is positioned;
    • the bus has no door;
    • the picture has a yellow-ish tint, which has been plaguing certain AI image generators ever since the AI Ghibli trend. They likely overtrained their slop machines on Studio Ghibli works and various other "cozy" artstyles/pictures.

  • I've played this briefly when it launched, but was annoyed that for people playing solo the map outside your bases fully resets every time you save and load, I'd prefer if the areas I cleared of the fog would stay cleared. I get that in a multiplayer setting it's better to reset because then everyone has the same opportunities to get loot/xp, but my map-clearing goblin brain was disappointed.

    Unless they've changed it, but last I've heard there were no plans for that.

    Other than that it was a lot of fun already at EA launch, probably got even better by now.

  • Honestly, thank fuck for the AI studio Ghibli trend, they overtrained the models on that stuff and caused the easily recognizable piss filter to appear. Makes finding AI slop at a glance easier.

  • Cold water was probably less refreshing for early humans due to most cold water likely only being available during colder weather.

  • Not necessarily? Icy water would have been rare, but even in the summer water from a stream or a lake is colder than the air, which is enough to make it refreshing. And well water can be very cold.

  • I've been trapped in a Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time addiction ever since that came out. I'm a huge fan of the original 3DS game, but it was kinda forgotten by gaming history. And now we have a much bigger and more polished game for more platforms! For those who haven't heard of it: it's a bastard child of singleplayer Final Fantasy XIV and Animal Crossing. Very cute and cozy, mercilessly addicting, simulates the experience of having ADHD incredibly well.

    This is how it typically goes: you want new furniture for your house. You're out of a specific kind of wood that's needed, so you go to a place that has it. On the way there you see an NPC with a quest - some poor farmer is besieged by overgrown carrots, and wants you to kill 10 of them. Might as well, it's only a slight detour. You kill the carrots, and then help yourself to some more crops on the farm, and get a rare carrot that you need to cook a dish to advance your Chef Life! Better get to that immediately, before you forget. You go back to town and cook the dish. You still don't have that new furniture you set out to get.

    About the only thing I don't like is that the story quests are less weird than the original game, everything else is a straight upgrade.

  • Eyup, I've waited 6 years to get World and now I am comfortably playing it at max settings with a light sprinkling of mods. I'll do the same with this one.

  • I got the testicle part :P it's just that "piroshkis" doesn't sound Polish at all, and since we're talking about Poland... Even "pierogis", with its unnecessary "s" would be better.

  • As a note, as this story is about a Polish radio station the word you'd want to use is "pierogi" or "pierożki", no "s" at the end either.
