…the first search result being about a community that in its largest part started existing in 1923 is relevant to ancient history?
I mean I don’t know enough about ancient demographics to comment on whether there would feasibly be more than an extremely tiny minority of sub-saharan africans in ancient greece, but claiming someone didn’t search and then providing an irrelevant search result has a certain irony to it.
They can all be shit but one can still be more shit than the other. I don’t want to lose one eye but I’d rather that than go fully blind.
Though the argument here is more that “we are the better colonizer, trust us bro” should never be taken as a reason to want a new colonizer to take over.
Easily, if it’s a large enough backpack. For 3 days of clothing, it doesn’t even need to be large. I mean what do you need, some assortment of care products (available in small packs, usually, so don’t take a ton of space), maybe a razor and hairbrush, toothbrush (negligibly tiny anyway) and then 3 days of clothing don’t take that much space unless you change your pants (not the british kind) or sweatshirt every day. And even then a large-ish backpack could fit it.
I went on a 5 day trip with just an average size backpack and laptop bag, and that included bringing the laptop. And headphones. It was pretty tightly packed but worked Clothing doesn’t take that much space if you fold it and compress a bit.
That’s not even artistic ability, that’s just basic tool use.
…but yea that still applies
Yep, and even for me while I prefer to download the game directly usually, when I need to bother with manually getting it to work, I much prefer steam and its proton integration. It’s nice that most games at least just work by running them in a random proton prefix with protontricks, but shipping them with an install script that just gives you a shortcut and installs any dependencies would be huge (actually a step up from steam). And then if galaxy runs on linux it could use that same process.
It depends on the project, I think. If you require hundreds of pieces to make the concept work (and such concepts have floated in my mind) even hiring an amateur would get pretty expensive. If it’s just small scope art (and for most games it will be) I agree, it can be relatively cheap. Though I’m still privileged in being able to afford that, some people couldn’t even really spare 200€ for a project that, statistically, is unlikely to make even half of that back.
Great way to make sure your kid gets bullied and socially excluded, resulting in lifelong trauma. Not to mention that they will then start using the internet with the media literacy of an average 70 year old and fall for everything they should’ve learned with parental guidance at a young age.
These days you can do that on fucking arch (from the point of “have a usable DE with internet access” onwards ofc, which is the point most distros get you out of the box). Install steam, check the setting to show windows games with proton, and it just works. At most need GEProton sometimes but I doubt that’s different on SteamOS.
No doubt SteamOS is the most optimized for that experience but there really isn’t a lot of friction for gaming on steam in general these days.
I would never judge anyone for using AI to fill in the parts they need to realize their project vision that they otherwise simpy couldn’t (without putting in a lot more effort into a thing they probably don’t really enjoy), but doing this is still a statement and pretty cool to do.
Not that I’ll ever be motivated enough to actually finish a project, but I’ve thought about the art aspect of making a game, and eventually figured if I’d need to commission more than I can afford, I’d be morally fine with genAI if the game is either free or I use a large portion of profits (if there are any lol) to hire artists to gradually replace the art.
Though I also refuse to give a single cent to all the companies profiting off this so any image gen I’ll ever do will be local on my pc (or for free on some service, I guess).
You… heavily overestimate a grandma with 0 technical skills.
It can be installed in 20 minutes with a youtube video by a person with 0 technical knowledge that is comfortable using a computer and doesn’t get scared seeing a terminal.
I wonder if this might not be exactly the correct approach to teach them, though. When there’s actually someone to tell them “sorry that AI answer is bullshit”, so they can learn how to use it as a ressource rather than an answer provider. Adults fail at it, but they also don’t have a teacher (and kids aren’t stupid, just inexperienced).
You can escape it with backslashes

Believe it or not i can condemn a country’s actions and think they lost the right to exist in their current form without thinking that the people living there should be displaced, or that everyone living there is in full support of what’s going on.
Similar to how you might notice that germans still live in germany, but the governmental structure was transformed and there were (poor and insufficient) attempts at denazification. (And yes, plenty of germans were displaced. In similar situations as current israelis would be. But there’s a difference between going to another part of your country and having to go far away/into a neighbouring country. Some suffering is unavoidable once you start a war, and innocents that were powerless to stop it will be swept up in it even on the attacking side)
Ideally I’d say have palestine govern the area and let the israelis live there, but realistically that can only go wrong since there will be a very understandable grudge that isn’t going away for a long time.
Regardless, if you genocide your neighbour (or anyone), you lost legitimacy as a country in my eyes.
Is there anything at all surprising about teenagers using what might be their only computer outside of their phone to access porn?
I think it’s relative change and not percentage points, from quick mental math that seems to add up. Very weird choice, maybe trying to inflate the perceived increase in linux users. So it would be a change of a bit more than +1 percentage point for linux.
Dynamic difficulty is the game adjusting the difficulty based on how well you’re doing, e.g. in the mentioned l4d (or maybe it was only l4d2 idk) if you have more health and healing, it will spawn more/harder enemies, and vice versa.
It’s sometimes also used in other ways, e.g. boss fights get easier after failing them a bunch, which I really don’t like because I want to decide myself whether I want to make the game easier. Though roguelite progression systems like in hades in effect do a similar thing, but the player is actually aware of it (though this is why I don’t really like roguelites).
Mainly I think whether this is a fine feature or shit will just depend on the ability to choose if you want the AI to beat the boss for you or not.
Cheat codes and difficulty settings have existed for forever. Dynamic difficulty is common, and used to great success in beloved games like left 4 dead. Just a different option to get past the part you’re stuck in is really nothing bad.
The statement was “every form of entertainment”. Tbh tho yea i didnt really notice it being rpgmemes so it wasnt super relevant, that statement was surely not just meant for ttrpgs tho.
I fully agree you can’t have a ttrpg without political assumptions
Yeah generally when talking about a thing you draw a circle around the thing, that’s how that works. My glass from ikea isn’t making any political statement or assumption in its design as a finished product (unless you consider presumed size requirement for a beverage container to be political, though inherently nothing about it even states its purpose, so even that is doubtful) the process behind its design, manufacturing, and sale very much is political as fuck though.
Thanks, now I know a little more about ancient greek demographics! Well it still seems to be mainly about greeks in africa, but some exchange both ways seems inevitable when it’s that prominent.
