On one hand some posters don’t give a shit. On the other hand, proofreading your own text is systematically harder than one that you didn’t write. I’m sure there’s some scientific explanation; it’s some kind of fact of life. It’s way easier to spot mistakes in other people’s texts. So don’t be too harsh on other posters; they didn’t hire a proofreader and that’s alright.

Been playing mostly Our Adventurer Guild. Super fun indie strategy RPG. Pretty close to the ending I think. If you’ve got a Final Fantasy Tactics itch I recommend you check it out! The art and the dialog is kind of goofy, but don’t be fooled this is a solid game.

LLMs will replace software engineers any day now!

Also LLMs:

Meh. You can make numbers say anything you want. And any metric ceases being useful once it’s known. All in all these lines tell such a partial story as to be useless and I’m immensely suspicious of any manager that enjoys reading in tea leaves.

See I think you’re onto something. Playing music you consider abhorrent during a visit may actually increase the likelihood of ending up with a neighbor that enjoys said music. You either need to discover something universally repugnent or spy on the visitors and make a quick judgment call based on their appearance on what would repulse them better. Anyways fast tempo baby shark.

It’ll trickle down any day now.

😅 I went a bit fast lol. It’s been a while so I’m sure new stuff will come up (like Balatro was mentioned)

Just to start off, there was a thread about this some time ago.

Nah I feel you. Grew up with the NES as well. I played for a few hours and then I bounced off it. I think I’ll play it some more at one point. I love that it exists, I love the idea of it, but playing it leaves me pretty neutral.

There’s a lot to unpack here. By the time I feel like saying something about it, well it would be necroposting for sure. It touches on the fact that open source alternatives to exploitative social media mimic their counterpart rather than offer a genuinely different experience which is definitely something bothering me.

I don’t understand how one would equate YAGNI with writing everything half assed. Is this actually an issue?

I fully expect this to be yet another chromium reskin.

For discovery, check out https://rateyourmusic.com/! You can rate music and then use automated suggestions, or better yet, go on albums you like and check out profiles of people that made reviews that resonate with you for other stuff they like. It’s old-school, based on humans! You can look into charts by genres as well.

Instead of collecting a physical music library, you can consider DRM-free digital as well. You can buy albums in such formats at Bandcamp, Qobuz, 7digital. Of course you can sail the high seas as well once in a while. Personally I’m proud to support artists, but I have much less scruples concerning copyright over music made by musicians that have passed away.

May your blueberries thrive and prosper!

There’s this theory that if an infinite amount of Bored Apes make games for an infinite amount of time at one point they’ll make a decent one. I don’t buy it.

Ugh, those teenagers and their duck face selfies.

I have the utmost respect for ConcernedApe’s Stardew Valley, I’m happy it’s a success and I’ve played it plenty. I have to say though, there’s something in the game that leads some of us straight into a minmaxing management race-against-the-clock frenzy. I think I could play it casually, but I’d need an unwavering discipline… and that’s the problem.

I’d need to be paid a non negligible amount to try and wring some speck of usefulness out of this thing.

Good luck assembling, you’ll love PC gaming I’m sure!

Just in case you don’t know already: https://pcpartpicker.com/ is an amazing site to plan a build. You can put all the parts you’re aiming to buy and it’ll tell you if there are any compatibility issues. You can share your parts list with a community too and ask for specific advice.

Concerning parts, XFX AMD GPUs are very well built and go for a reasonable price. Their 6000 series have great cost/performance value imho. I have a 6750XT in a PC connected to a 55’ TV and it’s hardly breaking sweat provided I don’t go overboard with game settings. For a normal computer screen you could have plenty of fun out of a 6650 XT I’m sure.

Could you get Amazon delivery from say, amazon.it? It could give you a chance to find what you’re looking for.

Of all the ways one would harvest a botnet for propaganda, asking the victims nicely is surely the most cynical yet.
