  • Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason?

    Jump

  • Nah, at least this once it's definitely not a US defaultism thing.

    As an American, this is the first time I've thought about pro wrestling in a very very long time.

  • Why not? What definition of 'athlete' are you even using? Did you just decide this?

  • How can I create a Lemmy instance without coding or the use of Ethernet/router wiring?

    Jump

  • You don't need to be wired in order to self host things? It's better, ofc, but far from required. You can just do it via wifi.

    My experience with self hosting begins and ends with video game servers and jellyfin, though, so maybe I'm wrong here.

  • Given how paintball guns work, could you swap paintballs for waterballs?

  • I too despise the obsession with making videogames look like they were filmed for some inexplicable reason lol.

  • GAMMA has faction questlines. I'm not sure how good of an experience they are because that is very much not why I play GAMMA, but they definitely exist.

    Also: if you install GAMMA and are initially utterly disgusted by the depth of field, don't panic you can turn it off lol.

  • A (rumored) $40 live service battle-royale.. outlook bad for this game.

  • More than 1,000 classic RPGs, strategy games, and horror greats are wildly cheap in GOG's "Classics" PC sale, and are we OK with Skyrim officially being labeled an "old game?"

    Jump

  • 'Retro' in a gaming sense is often used interchangeably with 'Vintage', as far as I can tell.

    The subreddit r/Retrogaming even has this gem on their sidebar:

  • Carmack defends AI tools after Quake fan calls Microsoft AI demo “disgusting”

    Jump

  • .. yeah, I'm aware AI isn't a person. I'm not sure why that's a question? Maybe I phrased things badly, but I'm not- nor have I ever- been really mad about AI usage. It's mostly just disappointment.

    It's just a technology. I largely dislike the way it's being used, partly because I feel like it has a lot of potential.

  • Carmack defends AI tools after Quake fan calls Microsoft AI demo “disgusting”

    Jump

  • Why? AI doing one good thing doesn't erase the dozens of bad ways it's utilized.

    I'm interested to see AI used on a larger scale in really specific ways, but the industry seems more interested in using it to take giant shortcuts and replace staff. That is going to piss people off, and it's going to really piss people off when it also delivers a shit product.

    I'm fine with DLSS, because I want to see AI enhance games. I want it to make them better. So far, all I can see is that it's making them worse with one single upside that I can just.. toggle off on my end if I don't like it.

  • Fink is the founder and CEO of BlackRock which means it’s assets are his assets.

    It's a publicly traded company, so no. It's assets are not his assets.

  • sad Elon

    Jump

  • Is everyone just blatantly lying then? Because according to a google search, Elon Musk is worth 300+B, and Larry Fink is worth.. 1.2B.

    Are you taking the 10 Trillion number from

    Founded in 1988, initially as an enterprise risk management and fixed income institutional asset manager, BlackRock is the world's largest asset manager, with US$11.5 trillion in assets under management as of 2024.

    Because "assets under management" and "money that Larry Fink personally has" aren't the same thing.

    Or is this some conspiracy theory shit?

  • 'Chemtrails,' cloud seeding would be banned under bill passed by Florida Senate

  • Props can have contrails, too. Just can't fly anymore.

  • Found money. What do?

    Jump

  • I assumed. I know it's similar where I live, but for all I know Montana has some strangely restrictive finders keepers law where if you drop your wallet and someone else finds it you can only legally reclaim it via a duel to the death.

    Have anyone seen any Chinese tourists behaving properly before?

    Jump

  • Bad news dominate headlines, do you think journalists will write about people behaving normally?

    This is a funny mental image.

  • Found money. What do?

    Jump

  • Where do you live? That matters, unless you're just asking from an ethics perspective. I'm not asking you to dox yourself, country/state is plenty.

    Assuming you're Canadian(based off your instance being lemmy.ca) technically speaking you should report in to the police, and they'll hold it for 6 months. After that if someone hasn't claimed it you're free to claim it yourself. At least in Vancouver. Maybe the laws are different in other parts of Canada. Your local police probably have a non-emergency number for pretty much exactly this purpose if you wanna double check.

    Realistically, it's not even $200. Probably keep it for a week or two and then tell the kid the cops couldn't find the original owner.

  • Paradox date Stellaris 4.0, a "phoenix update" to attract new players and improve performance

    Jump

  • Most of my playtime is before alloys even existed lol. If I played the game more often I'm sure I'd be able to figure it out, but it's just bad luck on my part. I tend to get interested like a month before they've released some massive groundbreaking update.

  • Paradox date Stellaris 4.0, a "phoenix update" to attract new players and improve performance

    Jump

  • Ehhh, they can be rough experiences on launch so if that's what you mean by 'right from the start' I disagree a bit. I very much wish I let Stellaris cook a year or so before I grabbed it.

    Otherwise I definitely agree. The free updates they release with the DLC are usually excellent, and sometimes I still intentionally disable the DLCs because they add mechanics I'm not interested in interacting with. I own Man the Guns for HoI4, for example, and I almost never actually enable it.

    You can generally get the base game for a bit of nothing(Stellaris' historical low is $4), and then grab the DLCs you think will interest you down the line when they're also on sale.

    I am somewhat tired of them completely upending how Stellaris plays, though. I feel like every time I get comfortable with the game they overhaul some major system, and I'm learning how to play a new game again.
