  • Honest question: Why would you want a remake/remaster when the original can be played almost anywhere thanks to emulators? Is it just the legal acquisition of the game, or would you want to see some improvements to the game?

  • Did you use Gmail? If so, how did switching various accounts to another email address go?

  • I think that the use of em-dashes specifically is a result of either the preprocessing of the training data or postprocessing of the generated text. I doubt that the material the models are trained on (i.e. Reddit) contains more em-dashes that hyphens in the position of sentence breaks.

    But it definitely gets the use of dash as sentence break from people writing like that. If you ask ChatGPT in another language, whose users don't generally use dashes, e.g. Slovak, it won't use then as much.

  • There are dozens of us that know how to type en- and em-dashes! Dozens I say!

  • Chickens love salad.

  • I did not know what a joint was. But I knew that miniature versions of things are cool as heck.

  • I would have killed for this when I was ten. Love this!

  • I've heard that Shadows is one of the better Assassin's Creeds, but 100%-ing it still sounds like hell. There's just too much to do in Ubisoft openworlds.

  • I think it's connected to the line above, i.e. don't play along with the elites.

  • I like that the companion seems to be more talkative.

  • The first planet kinda drags on. The games gets slightly better after that. One of the DLC is quite good.

  • This reminded me of a blog post I read recently, in which the author also says that if you want to make video games and you don't know how to program, you should start with something small and simple. (It seems obvious, but people often start making a 3D game with a branching story and multiplayer and then quickly quit because they can't get it working.)

  • I've been (re)playing some not-so-well-recieved RPGs recently. In august I replayed Greedfall, which PC Gamer gave a score of 67, and now I am playing the Outer Worlds, which PC Gamer gave a 79. Yes, they're flawed games, but I was and I am enjoying myself. One just has to keep one's expectations in check.

    What I'm trying to say is: I look forward to buying this for 5 € in 5 years.

  • I like that you show GUI apps alongside the terminal. Often I see a cool setup where someone just changes the wallpaper and the colour scheme of the terminal.

  • Mine's really simple; I just make the path bold and yellow:

    What I like to do is change the colour depending on the machine I ssh into, e.g. make the path red on my Raspberry Pi.

  • I've only watched the musical from the Simpsons.

  • In my country we have these:

    This is a dvoukolák (lit. twowheeler). According to the internet it can carry up-to 240 kg. Dvoukoláks often have bigger wheels and they're not collapsible.

    I looked on American Amazon and on Walmart's website and I couldn't find anything like it. Bike trailers seem to be closest to a dvoukolák.

  • To open an app launcher press Win+D, then type the name of a program you want to launch and press enter. Boom, you're using Sway. Here are the default key bindings: https://wiki.garudalinux.org/en/sway-cheatsheet

  • It's the blocks! (I never felt like I could create good looking buildings using the walls-stick-to-the-floor building system that NMS and other games use.)

    Are there any games like Starfield?

    So, Starfield was a disappointment (in my opinion). The story isn't interesting. The lore and world-building do not make sense. The game mechanics do not mesh together. (And it doesn't run well on the Steam Deck.)

    But the promise of Starfield? The big space game? The big space RPG where you can play as Captain Reynolds type character? That's something I can get behind. I want to traverse space, visit different planets, get lost, meet interesting characters, solve their problems, and shoot some stuff. Two games come to my mind when I think of this:

    • No Man's Sky
    • Mass Effect

    I've only played a few hours of No Man's Sky, but I think it does space traversal well. To put it bluntly, flying from planet to planet without interruption is better than fast travel. But the gameplay loop did not

    Mass Effect nails the space adventure side of things. You visit multiple interesting places, you meet different people with curious problems, and you solve
