Half-Life 1 was the peak of this genre for me

Still playing Call of Duty: United Offensive multiplayer on PC nearly every day

Lemmy also can’t be used non-publicly so a pointless distinction considering the context.

It already has. Lemmy.zip if unavailable to users (of the admins own volition as they don’t have the capability to comply) in the Uk because of the law

All that information is integrated in Active Directory and available for Microsoft to ingest into their AI. Heck it could be something they put in the system prompt. “If you have low confidence in your output then respond ‘contact your manager’ instead.

Since karma isn’t tracked, I don’t think it’s a real big deal having a negative score comment. But since there are people who care anyways I think the downvote does exist, it can suppress people posting certain points of view lest you anger the tankie triad

I can see that parents failed young men and the education system failed young men. But these men aren’t entitled to a woman or a high paying job. And quite frankly they probably aren’t capable of those things or they would be solving their own problems instead of blaming women for them

You left a “can rot in hell” between your php and forever

The worst person you know just made a great point

Seems like a good thread to plug !youtubeclassics@sh.itjust.works

They made a whole musical about this called “Singin’ in the Rain”

As far as my opinion goes. “I can’t stan ‘em”

1. If db0 was added to the tankie triad it wouldn’t be a triad anymore

2. db0 is an anarchist not a communist. Lemmy world has some tankie users too, but it’s clearly moderated to be a liberal instance and that’s why the majority of users there are liberal. .ml has plenty of liberal users too, but it’s still tankie. The tankie triad is based on the admins, not users

I’m only about 4 missions in but the puzzle with the rail carts in the 3rd mission feels just like that. I hope there are more coming up

I beat blue shift in just 2 nights and I didn’t really stay up late either so I was surprised when it ended. At least it didn’t linger too long or have a bunch of annoying filler like “On a Rail” but it really felt like it ended in the first act

I agree that Opposing force has so many weapons that quite a few of them don’t get much time to shine. And a lot of them come in the last third of the game. Would have loved more chances to use the sniper and the squid gun.

I think blue shift is my favorite just due to the story but I do have to agree that none of the expansions can compete with the gameplay of the original.

Decay is its own thing. I’ve quite enjoyed almost more as an arcade experience where you can compete for the high score and get some more half life lore than it being its own stand alone thing.

Solid perspective, thanks for sharing

I think I’ve generally been less interested in sports as the pro leagues gatekeep more of their games behind multiple paywalls and less interested in college sports as NIL and conference realignment has killed the traditions and the connection between the students, athletes, and alumni.

If you weren’t already a sports fan, I can’t imagine a much worse time to become one

Is the predatory advertising that Apple allows towards children in apps that Apple allows on their app stores going to be stopped by this bill, or does this only affect their competitors?

If you tell the o3 reasoning model to just search the web and give you the top results instead of answering your query it can actually be really useful for obscure queries. I was able to find specific spec sheets for my model of monitor when a google search would only produce the specs for basically any other model the manufacturer made. Even with the model number in quotes

I’ve been playing more of my old retail games that don’t require any launcher or drm beyond requiring the disc. It’s nice.

I’m not exactly sure if “xfire on steroids” bloat of steam actually adds anything anymore these days. Steam is nice because my library is already there. Even the friends list has mostly been supplanted by discord now.

I use the epic launcher for 1 thing, to launch Fortnite to play with my son. I don’t want more steam features, I’d rather acknowledge its existence less. Start selling games without DRM that only use the launcher to update and it’s better than steam. That’s the 1 feature it needs.
