  • I mourn it too, because there are dumbasses like this who are buying the hype and setting the industry back by decades as a result.

  • It’s massively impractical. You’re never gonna believe it.

    These things require silicon (good luck finding sand!), but they’re mostly glass and aluminum (ridiculously rare substances that we can’t use willy-nilly on stuff that only lasts for 25 years, and then how are we gonna recycle that? we have no idea how to recycle glass and aluminum!), and then to make it scalable you’re gonna want some safe battery technology like sodium-ion (but where are we gonna find a bunch of salt on this blue planet?)

  • If hardware cost/availability is an issue, there are a few hardware simulators out there. Wokwi (ESP32 sim) is free for personal open-source use.

  • Same as the question of “abolish the family” or “make more family shapes”?

    Imo, with both gender and family… the problem is not individuals/groups using these constructs for self-organization and self-expression. It’s government granting legal recognition (and benefits) to some kinds of gender/family but not others.

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preparedness_paradox

    The preparedness paradox is the proposition that if a society or individual acts effectively to mitigate a potential disaster such as a pandemic, natural disaster or other catastrophe so that it causes less harm, the avoided danger will be perceived as having been much less serious because of the limited damage actually caused. The paradox is the incorrect perception that there had been no need for careful preparation as there was little harm, although in reality the limitation of the harm was due to preparation.

    …

    Historical perspective can also contribute to the preparedness paradox. From the point of view of historians after the Year 2000 problem, the preventative action taken has been described as an "overreaction", instead of a successful effort to prepare for an upcoming problem.

  • Fwiw, I think Roehri was pretty clear in their initial comment, and while you had a point that two things can be bad at once I can definitely see why they would balk at “whataboutism”.

    Neither one of yall had to keep pushing it this far, but imo if either one of you really owes the other a “whoops, my bad”, it would probably be you.

    It’s not a big deal, and Idgaf if you do it or not. I just thought you might wanna know.

  • What games similar to hardspace shipbreaker can you recommend?

    Jump

  • Hey there, cutter.

    If you’re really after the deconstruction aspect, then I’m not sure there’s a whole lot out there. But if you zoom out to the level of “methodically tinkering with a system that requires careful attention”, there’s a lot of those.

    Hardship Breakspacer is part of a (pseudo-)genre known as “dad games”.

    • Powerwash Sim
    • Viscera Cleanup Detail
    • Goblin Cleanup
    • Pacific Drive
    • Papers Please
    • Quarantine Zone
    • House Flipper 2
    • Star Trucker
    • Dredge

    On the “hardcore nerd” end of the spectrum, there’s even:

    • Satisfactory
    • Factorio
    • Scrap Mechanic
    • Any Zachtronics game

    A little more chill:

    • Unpacking
    • Potion Craft
    • Please Fix The Road

    Edit: Or for the “scraping my way through out in space” vibe, but less tinkering:

    • Endless Sky (free and open source!)
    • FTL

    Edit 2: Also, repair is probably an applicable theme:

    • ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs
    • Car Mechanic Simulator
    • Space Mechanic Simulator

    o4-mini, not to be confused with 4o-mini

    And 4o, not to be confused with 4 (aka 4.0 or v4, but 4V is different)

  • Steam Machine Hardware Has Me Worried About the PS5’s Long-Term Future

  • Ehh, x86 SoC consoles will always have an advantage vs x86 SoC PCs, because PCs need to treat iGPUs as PCIe peripherals rather than co-processors, which has significant performance penalties and a low ceiling due to bottlenecked heat dissipation.

    The Steam Frame should get you worried about x86 consoles, because if devs start publishing native ARM builds for desktop then this whole accidental iGPU performance moat goes away.

    Buuut it should also get you excited about ARM consoles.

  • Take living thing, slice its skin off into incredibly thin strips, inscribe runes onto those skin-strips, pile them up into the hundreds, then stare at the runes in a pile in sequence for hours on end, hallucinating vividly.
