Replace AI with something like Flex Tape, and you really get a sense of how stupid the push to get AI into everything is. Flex Tape is great, but I don’t need it when ordering a pizza ffs.

I’m calling wrong sub because that’s awesome! Not dull at all!

If anonymity is your goal, then surely you wouldn’t want a unique last name? you’d want Smith, Nguyen or Wang

Ahh should’ve looked before I posted! You beat me to it!

what did you expect?

Pfft. Learn to time travel n00b. Skill issue.

Just got my Steam controller, and it’s amazing how many friends I have who are just like: “Ew, I never use a controller. I played <insert some game that would be better with a controller here> with a mouse and keyboard”

Where is this data from? I seriously doubt NZs current thumb in chief has the stones to remove his tongue from Trumps ass long enough to arrest Netanyahu

Americans will use anything but metric

I hate how close that guess is 🫠

Dark Souls/Souls likes in generals. If I want to bang my head against the same problem endlessly and get hopelessly frustrated, I’d just do my day job

I’ve not seen one in the wild yet, but I will refuse to scan them. TIL I am a robot.

Also PS4 is x86, not some weird proprietary BS like PS3 was, and look how far that’s come!

Ah looks like I got the name slightly wrong. close enough

My dad used to be a police officer in South Africa. He had several interesting artifacts from his time there.

One such artifact was an unmarked black cylinder with a spray nozzle. One day after school, I had managed to get locked out of one section of the house and could only get into the kitchen and my dad’s office. (Houses in SA often have security gates inside locking off sections of the house.)

It was sitting in this office, waiting for someone else to get home and let me in that I absent mindedly started playing with this cylinder. I sprayed a small bit out. It made made a really cool heat haze effect in the air. Awesome, but what the fuck was this stuff? Well I’d just had a highschool science lesson on how to test an unknown gas… you waft it towards yourself, you do not sniff it directly. So I sprayed out a bit more and wafted it carefully towards my face…

Instant regret. My nose felt like I’d just done a netti pot of hot sauce. Eyes streaming, snot dripping.

Lesson 1 learned. Don’t play with random cylinders of mysterious chemicals.

I found out later that it was tear gas.

Hey pop quiz: What’s the worst thing you can do if you get tear gassed?

That’s correct! My dumb ass ran straight for the kitchen tap. Lesson 2. DO NOT USE WATER to clean off tear gas. I will say that I knew IMMEDIATELY that I had fucked up a second time. Felt like my entire face was on fire. Baaaad times!

I kinda want the opposite. I want official alerts only. NewRandomYouTubeGamerX64_L33tSauce’s opinion on “What a good price for the Steam Machine would be, and 10 reasons it won’t be that price” really doesn’t interest me. Has Valve said anything new? No? Then kindly STFU.

The Witness is polarising. People either think it’s incredible, or they think it’s dogshit. There is no in between.

(I am in the latter camp, sorry)

Other stuff that might interest you that I haven’t seen already recommended:

No idea if any of those work on Mac though. If you have an intel based mac you can use bootcamp to dual boot windows, and unlock maaaaany games.

is that bugs bunny on the podium?
