I have to give the bouncy concentrated light a try. My two favorites are the classic homing (ideally accelerative homing for that increased damage) rock and the multipurpose ping-pong luminous drill (usually with also add mana to never run out of mana). Those are usually guaranteed to carry me far enough to a point where I can gather all the pieces for a high damage wand.

Noita is great value if you can get around the unforgiving nature of the game.

Now share your secrets with us, give us your go-to wand configuration.

My only suggestion for outer wilds is that at the very start of the game if the village feels boring just go straight to the ship and once you’ve taken off give the game at least another half an hour to wow you. If by that time you’re not hooked the game might not be for you.

Well you don’t have to build them right now. You’ve got time. As I understand Sony is pushing PS6 release into 2028 due to all the hardware shortage. Either the bubble pops and hardware prices drop (or maybe China gets its production high enough to bring the prices down) or prices will still be so incredibly expensive that the next gen consoles will also be pushed back. Use the hardware you have right now and let us all cling to the hope that maybe in the future things will be better.

And? Just because it’s a good practice doesn’t mean it’s okay for Windows to go and fuck up every other OS on the drive. There shouldn’t be any technical issues with having two OS on the same drive. What if you just want to test two different OS so you could decide which one to keep? Are you supposed to buy a new drive just because you’ll need it for a month?

What you’ve said is not an argument why Windows gets to fuck up every other OS that’s on the same drive.

They shouldn’t. There are a lot of arguments why they shouldn’t. But there’s only one argument why they might, it’s the most corrupt government in the entire US history and they’re very gung ho about siphoning wealth upwards. No amount of logic or reasoning will work against corruption. If the government wants to bail them out they will find a way to bail them out.

Of course but the cost can be mitigated. I’ve seen an AI built project and the outcome is that you pretty much have to continue using AI to continue development because it’s borderline incomprehensible for humans. When AI fails to continue development you scrap the entire project and start from scratch.

I imagine all companies that allowed AI to go wild in their codebase have a lot of components that need to be rebuilt from the ground up.

How do you feel when men or women glance at your moobies?

Well yeah, but the price is so high because the big 3 refuse to meet the demand so CXMT selling ram is also going to force the hand of the big 3 unless they’re okay with CXMT just gobbling up the market. It won’t happen overnight but if the AI deals are to be believed CXMT has years to scale up production because the big 3 will have their docks stuck in the AI pot.

Part of the reason Valve gets away with it is that PC is an open platform. If you don’t want to buy from Valve you don’t have to buy directly from Valve. If you find a better deal elsewhere you can buy the game elsewhere. That’s not true for consoles. When it comes to digital only on Playstation you pay the price Sony tells you to pay because nobody except Sony is allowed to sell on Playstation. If Sony decides to jack up the price you just have to deal with it. If Sony refuses to put their games on sale you just have to deal with it.

The argument about removing your library is true for Valve (less so for GOG because you can just download all your installers and store them locally) but I think that’s a problem of the law. I think the law should catch up to digital media and give it the same rights as physical media. I hope SKG movements makes enough headway to lay the groundwork for someone else to come along and establish actual ownership of digital media.

While there are a lot of reasons why getting rid of physical media is bad (such as physical media getting certain consumer protections that digital currently doesn’t) I’m going to try to make an argument I think you’d understand. From the image in the post Dead space digital version costs 69.99 but Dead Space physical version costs 18. Why does it cost 69.99 digitally and 18 physically? Because corporations like money. A physical disk cuts into their profit margin. They could’ve made 139.98 by selling the game to two people but instead they only made 69.99 (I know the numbers aren’t accurate and from physical sales corporations make even less but for the sake of the argument I’ll stick to those numbers) because only the first person paid the corporations and when that person was done they sold it to the second person who didn’t pay the corporations anything. In a sense physical media cost corporations a sale. But that’s one of the benefits of consoles for consumers. You can actually get old physical disks relatively cheap on the second hand market. Now you could argue that physical disk users are a minority and you’re probably right, but the fact that a physical market exists keeps corporations in check. If a game is priced too high you can always see if you can find a physical version for cheaper. But if there’s no physical version available you pay what they tell you to pay. Digital only on a closed platform is just giving corporations more control over the pricing of games and we know they want to jack up the price.

I’m with you, I prefer digital media over physical. But my digital media is also bought on an open platform so I can choose where I get the best deal when buying digital media. I don’t have to pay the price Steam gives me, I can buy the game on GOG or Itch or a plethora of third party sellers. Despite the media being digital I retain (some) control over the pricing. That’s not true for consoles so on consoles digital only is a horrible idea.

This is one of those comics where you question the sanity of the author, and in this specific case also the cleanliness of their toilet.

I love how this is also a culture shock for Americans that the rest of the world doesn’t have mandatory tipping and expects workers to be treated with some dignity (such as paying livable wage). And as American as it can get, they just blame the foreigners for doing it wrong instead of questioning if maybe there’s another way to do things.

So what’s your point? That cars don’t need a seatbelt because we’ve banned kids from driving? Actually what you’re doing is just proving my point. For starters that ban doesn’t stop 16 and under from driving, it’s just something that will be used to punish someone after it has happened. At best it’s a deterrent because law-abiding citizens (including children) are less likely to break the law but I’ve personally seen kids take a car for a joyride and crash into someones yard so the ban isn’t going to stop anyone who really wants to go and drive. And more importantly it doesn’t really address the core problem which are collisions and crashes. Despite the ban adult people still end up in crashes. What does help are all sorts of regulations that car manufacturers have to adhere to make sure that the damage is minimized. Instead of having your brains splattered all across the road you might end up with a concussion instead.

And the same applies to social media. Banning kids from social media isn’t going to do anything about the addiction or mental health problems social media causes to people. It won’t even stop kids from using social media because kids are smart and if they want they will find a way around the ban. Now I’ll compromise a bit and say that banning kids from social media isn’t the worst idea because kids are more impressionable and social media might have a much bigger effect on a young mind. But if the goal is to improve the mental health of kids you also have to target the social media companies and regulate them to make sure their impact on mental health is minimized. Not only would that help kids but that would also help adults.

You can’t ban car crashes. You can regulate car manufacturers to install seatbelts to minimize injury.

If only I could be this naive. First of all this isn’t going to do much to prevent kids from getting online unless the measures to prevent it become absolutely oppressive. And secondly the bare minimum check requires you to give even me information to the social media companies. And I guarantee they won’t be held accountable if kids find a way to bypass whatever measures get put in place. And of course adults are just as addicted to it as kids but I guess they don’t matter.

If the goal was to reduce the amount of people addicted to social media the solution would be to regulate how social media functions not regulate access to social media. What is being suggested is stupid. You can’t ban things on the internet.

Microslop can hire me for CSO. I have zero qualification for the position but when the best your CSO can come up with is ads I can come up with that for a fraction of the costs.

Last time I checked (which was somewhere within the last 3 years) not only will the snap version get installed but if you force a non-snap version of the software and do an update it will replace the non-snap version with the snap version. It’s the kind of idiotic shit I’d expect from Microsoft.

USI, United States of Isreal.

Okay, so your arguments are “I pull random shit I won’t explain out of my ass” and “CONSPIRACY”. Alrighty, bye. Don’t let the chem trails throw you off the edge of the flat earth.
