  • Explaining hardware to enthusiasts

  • Have you considered, that the vast majority of gamers are not COD kiddies? I'd love to play Elden Ring, Minecraft, Skyrim or Satisfactory on my TV, while cuddling with my gf.

    And the best part? You get an arch install that doesn't randomly break because you haven't paid enough attention during the last pacman update! I seriously expect Valve to understand that pacnew files and mandatory forum readups are not a good concept for OS maintenance.

    Writing this from my phone because the last update probably removed the encrypt hook from my initframes. God, I love using linux!

  • EU backs German chip fabs with €623m State aid

  • Lol, what are you talking about? Most of the german nuclear power plants were built before 1980 and would not have met modern safety and operational requirements. Only three can be considered "perfectly fine and working", but tbh. even the owners don't know whether they would have passed the mandatory inspections in 2019 and 2039.

  • One of those is not like the others. There's no future for nuclear energy. It's an outdated, expensive, fossile fuel just like coal and gas and Germany is doing well in phasing it out!

    • Nuclear is the most expensive energy form
    • It's only green if you ignore several key factors like water usage for cooling, dirty mining operations and long transport routes
    • Its a maintenance nightmare especially compared to distributed power production like solar and wind
    • Nuclear fuel recycling is as big a lie as plastics recycling
    • Fusion remains a pipe dream even after almost 100 years of continuous research and funding

    Nuclear wins in one metric though: Space efficiency per kwh! Although it's debatable how important that really is when we can use solar panels to provide shaded parking and place wind turbines on the open sea where there's plenty of space...

  • Idk, there's a lot of people at my job talking like this. LLMs really do help speed things up. They do so at a massive cost in code and software quality, but they do speed things up. In my experience, coding right now isn't about writing legible and maintainable code. It's about deciding which parts of your codebase you want to be legible and maintainable and therefore LLM free.

    I for one let AI write pretty much all of my unit tests. They're not pretty, but they get the job done and still indicate when I'm accidentally changing behaviour in a part of the codebase I didn't mean to. But I keep the service layer as AI free as possible. Because that's where the important code is located.

  • Half the smaller villages in southern Germany are named "Ried" which comes from reed and roughly means "swampy place". The other half uses some variation of the suffix "-höfen" which just means "this place consists of farms" 😂

  • Or Manjaro. Arch purist weeaboos hate it, but it's made in Germany, is amazing for gaming and has very fast driver updates. Additionaly, the installation is super simple and fast.

  • I know, memes are allowed some creative freedoms. But come on. Who's that woman supposed to be? Because it sure as hell isn't Cleopatra. Wrong hair, wrong nose, wrong teint, at least give us some recognizable features...

  • Cudos, this actually made me go: Hm, that's kind of interesting.

  • Counterpoint: I love rugged nobody adventurer types. I love the point in the campaign when you still have to use your brain to solve problems and when wild animals still pose a significant threat. This may be one of the reasons I stopped playing DnD altogether.

    It's not fun at low levels because your characters have absolutely no skills whatsoever and it sucks at high levels because over time you only get a bunch of instant-problem-solvers like Tiny Hut, Fly and Teleport.

  • Day 500 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

    Jump

  • I would love to play this game, but the lack of a FOV option makes it entirely unplayable. I tried several times and within minutes I'm at the point of almost throwing up. I've never encountered another game with a FOV this bad, it's pathetic!

  • Indie game developers have a new sales pitch: being ‘AI free’

    Jump

  • That entire statement is a lie. Antivaxers and other conspiracy nuts are just as tiny a minority as the Lemmy bubble. If you want to discredit the "normies", at least use arguments that are actually true.

  • Indie game developers have a new sales pitch: being ‘AI free’

    Jump

  • Another case of Lemmy users angrily downvoting because they don't understand how the world works. These are exactly the questions that need to be asked.

    Right now, I could slap the label "AI free" on my completely AI generated game and just claim that I interprete it as "the game doesn't use gen AI while running.

  • I completely disagree. Difficulty is not an accessibility option. It's a cheap way out of fixing more complex problems, but ultimately easier difficulty just means that you won't have to interact with the game as much to get through it. No problem if the parrying lacks clear indications when you can just take the very weak hits from the enemies instead of learning the parry system.

    But for most games, it doesn't really impact anyone if you add a difficulty slider, so game developers just do that instead of dealing with accessibility issues in their core systems.

    And then there's the souls games. These games would become objectively worse by adding a difficulty option. When overcoming impossible odds is the core principle of the game, then adding a slider to make the odds mildly inconvenient instead of impossible will actively jeopardize that very principle!

    In fact there are countless stories of people with severe disabilities who found new hope in clawing through the souls games. They let go of their learned helplessness precisely because they realized that what their playing is hard and failing over and over again is an important part of the process.

    That being said, the souls games do deserve some criticism in some aspects regarding accessibility. There's a lot in the UI and feedback department that could be done to improve accessibility without having a negative impact on the game itself.

    And as a last point, there are plenty of ways in which you can tweak several difficulty aspects of the souls games. Mavic is way easier than heavy strength builds which is way easier than dex builds. So, if you just want to go sight seeing, then why not use cheats and magic?

  • Yeah, I'm downvoting this shit. This is not mildly infuriating, this is just unnecessary ragebait and the fact that OP didn't even blur out the usernames clearly shows their intention to go against rule 5.
