I mean, the people making them, for one.

This is a bad take in general, if your computer can’t handle running steam it probably can’t handle many games to begin with. It’s the least intrusive option presented so far in terms of DRM, and steam has done more for the Linux gaming market with Proton than any other company afaik. You have to launch steam to avoid games wanting to do things like denuvo or kernel level anti-cheat which is WAY worse, and those of us on Linux need steam running while we game for additional reasons. This complaint about not wanting to look at a storefront is just petty, especially when I’m pretty sure there are settings to open it directly to your library.

The one that sticks with me is called “the cold equations”, and it’s about a pilot flying a ship through space and discovering he has a young girl stowing away on board. Since he only has enough fuel to get to his destination if the ship weighs a very specific amount, he has to decide whether or not to jettison the girl out the airlock. I remember liking it, but I’ve never forgotten how emotional it was to read.

Never put your phone in your back pocket. I briefly worked at a Verizon store and like 20-30% of broken phones I saw came from people who sat on it in their back pocket.

You mean 2002 and 2003, right?

Until you can use things like banking apps on them they will never be mainstream sadly.

Women have been complaining in popular media for decades about random dudes approaching them and asking them out. How is it a surprise that the trend is dying out? It’s clearly something that most women don’t enjoy to begin with.

Did any of these actually get built and used, or is this like the medieval version of a concept car?

During the testimony, Warren’s attorney, Jean-Jacques Cabou asked those within DeSantis’ administration what “woke” meant to them.

The governor’s general counsel, Ryan Newman, said, in general, it means “the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.”

They know what Woke means, and it’s just as fucking backwards and asinine as you’d expect. Imagine trying to criminalize people fighting for equality. It’s the only word I’m aware of that is simultaneously classist, racist, misogynistic, and anti-lgbtq thanks to how the right have chosen to use it.

Pretty sure this is the article being referenced. https://www.thefield.co.uk/country-house/queens-horses-black-beauties-knightsbridge-31908

I always thought the reason they did this was because they tie a bunch of random mechanics to frame rate in soulsborne games, and increasing it beyond set limits causes unintended behavior

this was a thing before ICP even existed.

Try Gloomwood, maybe?

My guess why this comic is confusing people here is simply due to the fact that the Lemmy community is primarily made up of middle aged straight men, many of whom have probably dealt with bitter divorce and find the base concept of this comic impossible to relate to.

This comment has similar vibes to a boomer in the 80s saying that the Internet is useless and full of nothing but nerds arguing on forums, and he doesn’t see that changing.

I use chatgpt to help run the TTRPG I run every week. Primarily I use it for reference images of NPCs, but I’ve also generated battlemaps and stuff. I don’t usually use it to help with the writing, but it can be pretty helpful when coming up with names, or when you are in need of some inspiration for a particular session.

I think you might be part of the problem, dude. Those are some pretty grand generalizations/assumptions about women there.

How

This is from 2018. I can’t speak for pirated games but basically everything on steam works out of the box these days.
