I wish this was possible back when I played Overwatch 1 and 2. But people reported me because I was not responding back.

Videogames is a form of games. Every game you play will help during bad times. Racing? Puzzles? Story? Competition? Social? Is it really that surprising that Videogames CAN help with mental health during bad times?

I wish news articles would just inform without strong opinions. It’s clear this guy hates this game and doesn’t want play the update. It’s not a review…

I guess they don’t want to a) split the user base of similar games, b) force people into buying new stuff from new game, c) can’t or don’t want to maintain multiple live service games at the same time. These are guesses by me, not saying its the case here or always the case, just giving a few ideas why this could happen.

The biggest problem to me is, that they will shutdown the previous game. I think its different enough to keep it, but probably not many people play it. What is the current Don’t kill videogames campaign called again?

4v4, objective based gameplay with a slight hero-shooter twist

This sounds awesome to me! Add the portal mechanic to the mix and its a unique hero shooter with objectives. I played the first game back when it was new, but stopped playing because lack of content, playing the same thing over and over again. It got boring. Hopefully they learned their lesson this time.

Do it.

X (formerly Twitter)

I love how everyone always need to explain what X actually stands for. If you have to explain it with the old name, why not just use the old name “Twitter” instead “X (formerly Twitter)”?

And somehow every controversy is linked to the US, even if the controversy is about another country in the world. :D

Note, this is a month old post by the OBS team. I just came across this interesting article and never saw it mentioning or linked, so decided to post it here. Also not claiming to understand all of it, but fascinated and interested. Have fun reading guys!

Yeah, that was a real stroke of genius by Microsoft.

Closing Tango Gameworks was one of the brilliant ideas of the decade by Microsoft. I’m curious to see what will happen how and what games they will produce. At least the talent can work together and have their jobs, regardless of the output.

@Kissaki@beehaw.org @baggins@lemmy.ca @ivn@jlai.lu Apologies. I think you guys are right about this, its actually killing the old plugin (in Chrome). Thanks all for explanation, now I understand why that is.

Its still the same extension, same source code, same logic, just less capable; hence the addition of “Lite” to the name. Originally they wanted release the Lite version with same name, but changed it Lite, so people don’t get confused why its not longer blocking everything it blocked before.

More people should use Firefox. Anyone who does not want Google to control the web browser space with a single base. Firefox will continue support uBlock Origin in its full strength. Notice, Google does not “kill” uBlock Origin, but rather weaken it substantially with a new protocol.

But I get it. With such headlines more people will read it. At least it has a good effect of getting attention of people, who would otherwise ignore it.

Looks like it runs on the Deck. My concern was a possible problem with a new launcher or some kind of anticheat or DRM. Maybe its unsupported because some internet connection functionality does not work, but it runs in single player? Not sure, need to read the reports and comments. But at least many reports say it works.

Thank you.

Steam Deck: Unsupported ☹️

Catherine Flick from Staffordshire University noted that these models do not “understand” anything better or worse when preloaded with a specific prompt; they simply access different sets of weights and probabilities.

Exactly what I was thinking. I think this is the key point and why it’s not alarming or surprising at all (at least to me).

“In my opinion, nobody should ever attempt to hand-write a prompt again. Let the model do it for you,” he said.

But I disagree at this point. We should not lose the ability to hand write prompts, as we need to learn and understand and check the prompts ourselves. AI’s should not gain full control, it should still stay a tool in “our hands”. Write it yourself and compare it to the AI, then you might learn and get better too, just like the AI. If you don’t, then you stay dumb and the AI does everything for you. This is the worst in my opinion.

I wasn’t aware this was a thing. Here is my contribution:

Spikes are not that interesting. In fact, hey can harm more than be useful (server problems during peak, maybe for days, sudden cost increase for maintainer) if its not an organic and slow increase. The longterm conversion rate is much more important.

Reddit. I said it, and I say it again: Reddit

Doug Bowser, President of Nintendo America, enters the chat.

Hopefully this makes it illegal for Google to pay other software to make it the default search engine.

Next step should be: “Google illegally maintains monopoly over internet ad-network, judge rules” (with the link to the browser technology harming anti-ad tools with deprecating Google’s Manifest V2 (MV2) and forcing V3 for the leading browser)

The bag seems to be fine, but we still don’t know what butterfly effects it will have to its surrounding. I quote a local farmer:

Yawn

I’m afraid about every person who has power, not only the dumb ones. Either smart people with bad intentions or dumb people with power. The chance that a powerful person is smart and has good intentions is rare.

This article says the app was removed because it still had the Twitter branding and they have a new app instead, and the old app was ad-free. Why not just use the regular web browser?

This post title is correct.

Interesting way of testing this. Another would be to search the search machines with adding site:your.domain (Edit: Typo corrected. Off course without - at -site:, otherwise you will exclude it, not limit to.) to show results from your site only. Not an exhaustive check, but another tool to test this behavior.

I love how the community can smell bullshit miles away.

“Forever mouse” is a marketing term to sell you a subscription. I’m not going to pay a subscription to get driver updates or to use basic functionality of the mouse. I have a forever keyboard (expensive mechanical keyboard) and it does not require a subscription and I can use the entire functionality without paying ever again.

But isn’t he abusing it further than just getting his money back? If you know a weak point on a machine and use it just so you give yourself the right to abuse it, is criminal in my opinion. The first time is probably an accident and taking back what is his own. Now he has the knowledge and is going with the intention to abuse a defect.

Let’s say a shop website has an issue and one time the site was faulty and did take your money without anything in return. Then the hacker decides to break the law and get his money back, somewhat understandable, but not legally right. Still stealing. Then he realizes this loophole would be abused to make more money and nobody would notice. That’s not okay anymore.

Or do I read it wrong here? The above analogy hopefully explains how I view this situation.

That’s a different issue. The machine was obviously defective, not stealing your money. And even if someone steal from you, doesn’t change the fact you stole too. Someone doing something illegal does not give you the rights doing something illegal too.

He was hacking the machine. But isn’t it stealing and illegal, if he short circuit the machine? I mean its like showing someone how to get free apple, by going in a shop and stealing without anyone notices it. Or by hacking into a server and ordering a meal for free. I don’t see how this is any different.

They were much more tactical and had better controls too, visually and audio better and just more polished. The PES series (before they renamed it from ISS) were just the better games back then. I started with International Superstar Soccer Deluxe on the SNES and wasn’t even a big sports fan. But got obsessed (well not that extreme maybe) with this game. And then the Nintendo 64 followup International Superstar Soccer 64 was phenomenal! Everyone compared it to FIFA 64 and it was clear and cut which game was better for the majority. I’ve played PES98 on original PSX too.

Today, people can’t understand how good these games were back then compared to any other football/soccer game at that time.

That’s a fun fact right there. :D

How dare you to type “cotton” and “Mexican”!

So many Trumps these days. But, is this even real? Not because I don’t think this can’t be real, because it’s Twitter. My question is, is there any evidence this image being real? Because anyone could create such a fake and most people would believe it… – which tells a lot about Twitter, BTW, regardless of being true or false.

More exclusive games tied to a specific service or platform. Hopefully Netflix will release their games on Steam as well.
