  • He's not eating it exactly. Just trying to suck it through his mask. I suppose if he drooled enough on it and the mask is porous enough he might manage to slurp it down eventually. He is part spider.

  • If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7

  • Exactly. AI will take any old random slob's opinion and present it as fact.

  • Long ago, I'd make a Google search for something, and be able to see the answer in the previews of my search results, so I'd never have to actually click on the links.

    Then, websites adapted by burying answers further down the page so you couldn't see them in the previews and you'd have to give them traffic.

    Now, AI just fucking summarizes every result into an answer that has a ~70% of being correct and no one gets traffic anymore and the results are less reliable than ever.

    Make it stop!

  • Discord works absolutely fine in Linux. I use "Vesktop" which is a desktop client for Discord. Performance is identical to using the Discord app in Windows AFAIK.

  • The only "problem" with buying a nice mechanical keyboard is that you never need to buy another one.

  • My problem is that because of Linux I can almost never throw away an old computer. I've got a bloody netbook around here somewhere running Lubuntu.

  • Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?

    Jump

  • I'm five videos deep, now. Thanks! It's weirdly super refreshing to watch something other than Serral bodying everyone.

    You ever watch any bot matches? Tens-of-thousands of APM. They're pretty entertaining too.

  • In the first pictures, the knight would clearly be of the "upper" class. Your chances of being some peon in a field are much, much higher.

  • This is wild. I watch a ton of professional Starcraft on YouTube and had no idea! I'll look up some matches, tonight.

  • People who have permanently moved to another country, what gave you the opportunity and was it worth it?

    Jump

  • Yeah, the past twenty years have been a bit of a roller coaster ride watching what's happening in NA. Ironically, I thought I'd be moving into a blatantly corrupt government basically run by crony capitalists. And yeah, Korea has its share of that, but wow, things out west have been falling apart horribly recently. South Korea seems to have its head on straight by comparison. Canada at least doesn't seem to have fallen too far down the fascist rabbit hole, yet.

  • I'm sure this is referencing someone, but I have no idea who. Twitch is blocked in Korea.

  • Well, I now run my own (half-owned) school in one of the most beautiful places on the planet, work four days a week, 6 hours a day, and fund several hobbies, a nice house, and a gym habit. I can't really complain. Maybe I'd have a more secure retirement working as a middle manager back home, but which one sounds like more of a career trap to you? Oh, and I can transfer my pension to Canada and go live there when I retire if I really want to.

    Jump

  • I came to Korea from Canada in 2004 to teach English for a "year or two". I'm still here. I have zero regrets, though I do wonder sometimes what my life would be life if I'd stayed in Canada.

  • What's your greatest "gaming high" you've been chasing ever since? Please take care not to spoil anything, if you are going to be story-specific.

  • I (horribly inefficiently) figured out a puzzle in Prime Mover last night that took me four hours over two days. It was a real hallelujah moment.

  • Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions!

    Jump

  • Final Fantasy isn't continuous. Aside from races, the occasional character name, and some thematic elements, the games are not connected at all. PS2 has two of the best: 10 and 12.

    Of the two, 10 is a more traditional turn-based experience with notoriously awful-in-a-good-way voice acting and a very typical FF plot. It's not really a spoiler to say that you end up killing god. It features some of the most egregiously awful mini games to grace the franchise. And if you want some of the best gear in the game, you will be committing a not -insignificant amount of time to frustrating button mashing.

    Square tried a whole bunch of new stuff with 12 including realtime, MMO-like combat and a much smaller and focused narrative that is mostly a side story occurring inside a larger narrative. The voice acting is infinitely better than 10's, and there are no obnoxious mini games.

    They're both still worth playing. The PC ports don't add all that much to the games over what you can do with them emulated. In fact, I bet save states make some of the mini game awfulness of 10 better.

    I did not intend to write an essay...

  • Looks like they might not be terrible. They use a tiny amount of gochujang, though. I'd expect pasta sauce to use a lot more. I suppose he could be making a massive batch of cookies.

  • I will search that! Sounds cool. Why are there no giant mud dauber horror movies I wonder?
