Well, obviously. Just look at the massive success by the other major game in the genre, Baldur’s Gate 3. Fucking packed to the rafters with live service elements so that must be it.

For whatever reason this YouTube video about playing the game after 100 hours is burnes into my brain.

Only a sith deals in absolute paths.

I didn’t realise until I read that comment, your comment and the other comment about slash direction.

Agreed there too, my friend, nobody is

Anyone who gets their house fire bombed for exposing corruption is deserving of respect in my book.

I see what you mean. I agree with that and in that sense DeepSeek is actually a really good thing because it gives some hope that you don’t need insane amounts of money for a powerful model. Let’s hope access and development doesn’t get too concentrated.

I disagree strongly, ChatGPT will gladly tell you all about the My Lai Massacre for example. Not to say it’s perfect or completely uncensored but to say it’s worse or the same…I just can’t get there.

Not that these concerns aren’t real necessarily but they certainly aren’t unique to DeepSeek. The real win is in propaganda, if you have a very capable and cheap model you can get everyone using you can push the party lines in sensitive issues much more effectively beyond your borders. I don’t think DeepSeek is a good tool for that yet because it just refuses to discuss those issues but I wouldn’t be surprised if that is the direction they take with future models.

Still, the fact that it’s heavily censored when it comes to sensitive CCP issues makes it a no from me.

Is there still nowhere to buy Freelancer legally? Who are the idiots sitting on that payday.

Edit: Oh right, of course it’s Microsoft.

Escape from butcher bay was so much fun. I didn’t get into Dark Athena as much but the fact that they included an updated version of butcher bay with it was such an awesome move.

Other people’s homes burning or flooding won’t make a difference. When coffee supply is impacted people will start to care.

I remember reading about the implications of overlapping fire seasons a while ago. Pretty terrifying stuff honestly. I think it was back when Bill Shorten was proposing a big investment in firefighting.

I’m really sorry you had to experience those fires up close, that would have been horrifying to the point of being life altering. Tasmania is a beautiful part of Australia at least.

Can you just fucking not, please?

Time to sell your house to Aquaman.

I don’t think it follows that a product having many users means it is not hated. Just look at health insurance in the US. I’m not saying everyone is secretly itching to ditch Windows and move to Linux as soon as possible but I do think the vast majority of people simply don’t care and just use whatever the default option is provided that things work well enough. If it becomes just as easy to use Linux as Windows (including PC vendors offering Linux preinstalled and working with all appropriate drivers) I think we’d see more people switching because of the slightly cheaper cost alone.

Windows: So you’re saying there’s a chance

This is a good point. I think it’s definitely worth people trying it out if they haven’t and they might be surprised by how good it is. That said, it does still depend on the person, if there’s a particular app or workflow that needs Windows and there’s simply no good alternative then you’re kinda stuck which sucks. For me I almost never boot into Windows these days but I still wouldn’t feel comfortable totally removing it yet. Maybe one day soon.

Haven’t read the article just yet but it’s so insane how far this has come and all the pieces that came together over so many years. Very excited about the future of SteamOS

Even better is when that one guy is the DM
