Lol they are going hard on social media comparing how they are faster than Steam, but the new launcher they are boasting about doesn’t even have feature parity with their own old launcher never mind feature parity with Steam.

Was really disappointed in the genAI use on this one. Own every 1800 pack there is and have 600+ hours, but can’t bring myself to buy this one.

It has been an upsetting thread to read; in frustrated on your behalf OP. I think many commenters here have not worked in the kind of environment you’re describing, and “get another job” is deeply unhelpful advice.

Will have to disagree on that one. I’ve gotten hundreds of dollars of cash back on credit cards each year.

Not buying things you can’t afford still applies.

To anyone else reading this, please don’t take out a loan to buy a computer.

How many more until Gabe can afford his next yacht?

I think it’s quite fun, and they’ve made consistent improvements to the game over time.

Use a VPN to access outside the home.

I’m not opposed to the concept of smart appliances. Getting a phone notification when my load of laundry is done. Remotely starting the oven preheat. Having the humidifier interact with the thermostat automatically. Blinds that open on a schedule to gently wake you with natural light.

For the record, I don’t have any of these things, but I like the ideas of them. It’s the kind of stuff I was wide eyed and hopeful about as a sci fi loving kid.

The problem with ask these things is not the connectivity ideas, imho; it’s pretty much capitalism. These things can’t exist in a way that doesn’t also spy on you, build a profile that knows you better than yourself, and sells every last morsel of information to not just the highest bidder, but every bidder.

And to be clear, I don’t mean can’t on a technical level.

Hopefully “moving fast” means securing rights.

The actual quote comes from

MatPat announced that he and Blumhouse are currently in talks with writers and directors, saying they’re “actually moving fast” to get this project made.

So could definitely mean a few different things. He could just mean that he’s not experiencing a lot of red tape or humming and hawing.

New ones are pretty damn good.

Just rip the bandaid off.

Don’t dehumanize Nazis. That’s literally that they do. It’s important to acknowledge they are human.

The project lead himself says the game is not very good, lol. Still, very cool project. And a meaningful attempt at preservation.

It’s linked right in the OP.

There also only seems to be one comment chain mentioning the AI, which has been mod deleted. The test of the comments don’t mention AI or aren’t critical because of the AI.

Download now before the cease and desist hits! The more people who have it, the more likely it will live on the internet forever.

I was a big fan of self checkouts when they were new.

Past year or so, I’ve completely changed course. I go out of my way now to go through the regular checkout lines.

Mealie has been great for my partner and myself.

Goddamn shame because they’ve been making great games.
