I didn’t click the link but I’m envisioning the old school studios (if they’re still around) just using the AI to drive physical drawings.

Inclined to agree on the controller.

But I think that just having that “locked in” PC specs where you’re less likely to have to deal with different driver and component issue is hard to dismiss.

Save us a click - cliffnotes?

It runs pretty well and everything and I think will scratch the itch.

It’s just a very jarring throwback to the times.

The game was more built around being ran with a controller, so mouse and keyboard is a little janky - I pretty much solely use a keyboard.

Map/travel is very old school. Alt tabbing for maps/routes, boats, etc.

Making a player level to 20, and then immediately starting over to level again for a sub job is an incredibly sadistic thing to ask from an MMO.

I could go on. But it regularly sees 2k+ players online so there must be some subset of people that enjoy it.

I can’t in good conscience recommend this to an internet stranger - because the experience is quite brutal.

But if you do in fact hate yourself - you might look into https://horizonxi.com/

Haven’t you been paying attention? AI will do it.

Had forgotten we’ve been promised this before.

US Healthcare will now be affordable!

I’m kind of surprised to see its name. Was fairly widespread back in angular/backbone days – I kind of assumed all the useful stuff from it got adopted natively as I haven’t really heard any frontend teams I’ve worked with over the recent years mention it.

When does a My Little Pony MTG set come out?

The porn goblins.

 

Grabbed this on sale – anyone had success running this on Steam Deck?

I seem to be get a Microsoft Studios splash screen and then the screen goes blank and eventually self restarts.

Have tried a couple compatibility modes with no real progress.

 

Is there a way to select or level up a skill on a controller?

Select will open the screen to where I can grab a separate mouse and interact with these. I tried holding down select and then the skill button but that didn’t seem to work.

Please note - I’m talking about the 4 skills on the bottom - the ones you’d want to be able to easily select on the fly while in lane.

Thanks.

 

A sudden exodus of employees is causing leadership to panic and suddenly puts me under a microscope with questions like:

  • Are you going to leave?
  • What can we do to keep you from leaving?
  • Do you see yourself here in 1 year?

These are all semi valid questions to ask in the best interest of the company. But I’m curious how this information could be used.

This all got me thinking – at what point could – “no - I don’t see myself in a year” be used as a resignation with a 1 year notice – and then terminated after ~3 months and be ineligible for unemployment since you “technically” resigned.

 

I assume the answer is currently no and can probably survive with alt tabbing around.

In the old version of Big Picture you could bring up a browser in the Steam overlay while playing mid game. This allowed for quickly accessing online references and even bookmarking online guides etc.

I’m aware of accessing Steam guides and notes - and these are great features. But is there a way to easily access online information while playing?

 

I’m looking at an empty bottle of Valentina hot sauce. It has a flip top cap but is not twist off and seems to be press fitted on in some way - ideally there would be a way to easily remove it and re-purpose the container or at least clean it out for recycling.

With some recent legislation in some countries to standardize USB-C it got me wondering if there are pushes elsewhere or if maybe it’s just my country just hasn’t caught up on things.

 

I frequently wear a pair of Bluetooth headphones paired to a computer. If I want to listen to something on my phone I have to re-pair the device to my phone.

Is it possible, through software or hardware, to have both my phone and computer connected in such a way that I can get audio output from either device to my headset simultaneously.

 

You’re walking along a path and another person approaches from the opposite direction.

Do you tilt your head to signify which direction around them you intend to go? Is that head tilt understood by others?

Should we start pointing also?

Install hand blinkers?

 

Returning to the game and looking to introduce some things into the daily routine. Are there any events or timegated materials from EOD that would be recommended?
