  • Mewgenics becomes the most-played roguelite ever on Steam

    Jump

  • Let's be honest with ourselves combocore is really just another phrase for rhythm games, which let's you aggregate things like guitar hero (rythmncombos) and DMC (actioncombos), as it's all about hitting buttons at the right time interval. Surprisingly many darksouls also fall into the combocore/rythmn category - sekiro and Lies of P (with their parrying/dodging timing) which we'll now call soulcombos.

    Now we just need to start promoting this through the steam tags.

  • Mewgenics becomes the most-played roguelite ever on Steam

    Jump

  • And yet I tend to like most games that fall into the "rouge lite" category. It feels too broad and yet also seems to work to classify games.

    I think it may just be a bit like "RPG" or "Action" that are actually very wide categories that now have a lot of subcategories to help better explain them.

  • Tucker Carlson 'detained' in Israel as passport taken from him after interview

    Jump

  • Sounds like they released them pretty quickly as they are apparently back in the US. From the article Tuckerson said "It was bizarre. We’re now out of the country."

  • Here Are Your Choices for a Self-hosted eBook Server

    Jump

  • I tried Calibre web and Kogma.

    Calibre is just bad software at this point, it's clunky and not really designed as a server.

    Kogma was fine, but a web only interface made it hit or miss. The big selling point for me with audio bookshelf was the ability to download local copies.

  • Oh yeah, the multiple libraries is a good point!

  • Republicans, Braced for Losses, Push More Voting Restrictions in Congress

    Jump

  • Luckily states control how elections are run so that's currently just fear mongering.

    However, acknowledging your concern, only about 50% of Americans even own a passport Source. While this article says only 9% don't have direct access to their proof of citizenship, I suspect that percentage is overstated.

  • Intel Expects Every “One in Two” PCs to Be AI-Powered, as Panther Lake Makes the Shift Inevitable with Its High-End NPU Performance

    Jump

  • I mean, it's already embedded in a lot of different things that you may not realize.

    • Many photo/video modes on phones can/do leverage dedicated NPUs
    • Translation services that run locally

    At the end of the day, anything that can be done in parallel can leverage these cores.

  • EU to Require 70% Local Content in EVs Receiving State Support

    Jump

  • I know in the US there were general subsidies for any electric/low-emission vehicles. Maybe they mean any kind of subsidy going forward will only be available to EU made vehicles.

  • Here Are Your Choices for a Self-hosted eBook Server

    Jump

  • You can read using the web client or dedicated apps (android and ios). I feel like the clients work just as good if not better than similar software.

    I haven't tested how it handles two versions (audio/ebook) of the same book, but I have ebooks and audio books and it works well for me.

  • Here Are Your Choices for a Self-hosted eBook Server

    Jump

  • The only real downside I've run into is it's very opinionated about folder structures around authors.

  • remember progress?

    Jump

  • Unless there is a paradigm or materials breakthrough I wouldn't expect a major leap anytime soon.

    Its kinda like the same with TV quality/video game graphics. We've been squeezing a lot out of the current technology, but further enhancements will be incremental.

  • Here Are Your Choices for a Self-hosted eBook Server

    Jump

  • The one I've enjoyed the most is https://www.audiobookshelf.org/, it may be "focused" on audio books, but works really well for everything. It also supports offline mode (meaning downloading local copies in the app).

  • Why does postal voting favour the American Democratic Party?

    Jump

  • Just for context this isn't anything new, this is a long running issue in the US that Trump has just exacerbated.

    To add to that, it's likely every country has some elements that enfranchise or disenfranchise certain voters. Not to mention rampant propaganda.

    While it might be a quote from Regan, it's a good quote:

    Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. It has to be fought for and defended by each generation

  • Why does postal voting favour the American Democratic Party?

    Jump

  • It's state by state whether it's required and/or paid time off. Additionally, just because something is in the law doesn't mean every employer is good about it.

  • Why does postal voting favour the American Democratic Party?

    Jump

  • Except when you add in the element of access to voting. Voting in-person on a work day isn't necessarily feasible for the average American. By enforcing in-person voting you disenfranchise the groups that are more heavily democratic (younger, working, lower/middle class).

  • Removed

    YSK that murder is now legal in California. Fully legal. Slaughter a family of four by driving over the speed limit. Go home.

    Jump

  • Yeah, everyone seems to be forgetting the secret to getting out of jail in the US - be rich.

  • Amtrak Is Revamping Its Run-Down Fleet. Check Out the New Trains.

    Jump

  • Depends on where you are. There are areas on the northeast corridor that (if bought in advance enough) are a pretty good deal. The other major thing is that in some instances you're going from center city to center city, meaning no transportation to/from the airports.

    That being said, it's no guarantee the train will be cheaper.

  • In Kentucky, People Blame Ford More Than Trump for Lost Factory Jobs

    Jump

  • If I have my timelines correct they killed the factory after Trump got elected. Whether that's cause he would kill funding for electrification or cause he would increase subsidies for gas, it's hard to say, but either way Ford saw more money in gas than electric with Trump.

  • Everything's fine. Nothing to see here.

    Jump

  • LLMs can't really do math, so if there is any analysis being done, the numbers will typically be junk. Unless the LLM is writing the code to do the math, but then you have to validate the code.
