Ah yes, I forgot folks with ADHD are also insane. /s

For folks with ADHD, like myself, slow talking video essays are a special kind of hell.

They make broken games. You can stand up for “It just works” Todd as much as you want. He’s not going to give you a special corporate shill badge and pat you on the head.

The problem with days old threads is I never remember the context. Looks like they were asking if Steams data would be more reliable. Tbh, I think Steam is great for gaming stats, not for general use stats. Statcounter supposedly uses what the browser reports when participating websites are visited.

I’m not a fan of Bethesda in the slightest anymore, and this drives it home for me. I get that they want to update their game, good on them for updating an old game. But they release broken games that need mods to become playable. If they want to keep that ecosystem they need to quit, “breaking userspace” so to speak.

I’m happy to see more Linux gamers don’t get me wrong. Steam is specifically gathering specs on people who game, the other stat counter (that reports 4% Linux use) is based on what people’s browsers are reporting.

Steam is only installed on one of my computers, I have at least four running Linux. Not to mention plenty of Linux users don’t game at all, so probably not.

Discord lives up to their name I suppose.

I think it’s less the network’s fault, and more on where someone chooses to spend their time on the network. If you’re on Facebook, it is in their interest to piss you off so you stay and fight. But plenty of other tools exist to connect folks online without being manipulative.

It’s like fire, nuclear energy, or most any other tool. Use it right and everyone benefits, use it wrong and people get hurt.

When I was younger I wasn’t sad because I was online, I was online because I was sad and felt out of place in reality.

The cough isn’t the cause of the cold, it’s a symptom.

Also, I gained more empathy the older I got. So you probably need a bigger data set than your own experiences.

This appears to be more geared towards experimentation. Super interesting and more relevant to the article for sure though!

In 1973 the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the Hippocratic Oath saying it didn’t cover the latest developments in medical practice.

I’m just… gonna go scream into a pillow in the corner now.

“These ‘CAT’ cables, they aren’t made out of real cat right?”

He eats trash!

Never even heard of The Register before right now. Been using Firefox for most of my life. This checks out.

They are tired of right clicking Command Prompt to “Run as Administrator”. They’ve been doing it for decades, they can have one tiny piece of QoL improvement.

Just saw the article about early access premium players having the game auto-complete on first login. DRM should be the last thing on their minds.

Path of Exile has a lot of good grind to it. Every league added mechanics, and a bunch of them went core over the years. Also, if you haven’t hit the Guiding Lands in MHW, the grind gets real there.
