Do we have a community/magazine for instances of slamming yet?

Steam Deck Won’t Survive 2025 Without A Significant Upgrade. - (Original clickbait headline and not my opinion!) (www.forbes.com)

I personally have a huge backlog of games I’m happily playing through on the deck. And, having been burnt a few times (Cyberpunk, No Mans Sky …), I very rarely buy new full priced games anyway (better to wait for a discount and some patches!)...

Eggyhead ,

Will the switch 2 outperform the steam deck? Because if not, games will continue to be made to run on lower hardware.

Welcome to the wonderful world of phrasal verbs, idioms, and collocations.

Why Do People Still Play Destiny 2?

With the release of “The Final Shape,” the main storyline has concluded, and it seems like the developers are now just churning out random content and seasonal passes without a clear direction for the game’s future. I’m genuinely curious about what motivates players to stick around. Are there aspects of the game that...

Eggyhead ,

What main storyline? I jumped in late and none of it made sense. I couldn’t even figure out what order I had to play. Gameplay was great as long as it wasn’t PVP.

Eggyhead ,

Who knew you could make mice with dye?

Eggyhead ,

(Just as a side reference, the “iMac” is that all-in-one computer that just looks like a big monitor on your desk that connects to a keyboard and mouse.)

Eggyhead ,

I would guess the absurdity is the point. People trying to make each other laugh. If it bothers you, you don’t need to be there.

Eggyhead ,

Well then let them. It’s no skin off your back and no one else is actually getting hurt, so just ignore it.

Is Elder Scrolls 6 doomed to fail? I can't see how it will work

After the massive blunder of Starfield, I cannot see how Elder scrolls 6 could possibly be successful. Everything points to the fact that they knew that the game was not even half finished, in my opinion, with major glaring issues, and they decided to just send it off anyway. The difference between this game and Oblivion is that...

Eggyhead ,

Tbh I love FO4. It’s not the best in the series, but I’ve played it through a couple times and wouldn’t mind playing it again soon. Hardly anything I’d call a colossal failure. FO76 was a hot mess at launch, but it had its hooks. I got that at launch and ended up playing more of it than I expected considering. No clue about Starfield, but if FO4 and 76 didn’t bug me as much as it did everyone else, I might get on with it decently… assuming they put it on PS5 at some point.

I think Elder Scrolls VI will do well no matter what condition it’s in, though I also doubt it will be a smooth launch.

There are so many reasons to be glad not to have kids. Live it up, friend.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 1st Remake Coming To Switch in 2025 | Retro Gaming News 24/7 (www.retronews.com)

Fans of the classic turn-based RPG saga will be thrilled with the news that The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky is being remade and coming to Nintendo Switch in 2025, announced by Nihon Falcom. This remake marks the first time the game will appear on a Nintendo platform, offering players an updated version of their beloved...

Eggyhead ,

Here’s hoping it’s not exclusive to switch.

Eggyhead ,

& a utility

Oh they don’t want that one.

Eggyhead ,

It’s the other way around.

Eggyhead ,

They definitely ensured I became less inclined to even consider giving this game a chance.

Eggyhead ,

I figured there was enough already to complain about, but if this is now what we’re complaining about, I start to think the game isn’t as bad as it’s being made out to be.

Harris vows tougher approach on migration, supports weapons for Israel (www.reuters.com)

Aug 29 (Reuters) - Kamala Harris vowed a tougher approach to migration along the U.S. southern border and said she would not withhold weapons to Israel, in her first interview with a major news organization since becoming the Democratic nominee for president....

Eggyhead ,

Which one are you opting to vote for?

Eggyhead ,

Would successfully decompiling this game make the process any faster for the sequel, or is it just a manual labor thing?

Eggyhead ,

I just want to see what the game looks like at a stable framerate.

Eggyhead ,

Well, assuming there even IS a punishment…

Eggyhead ,

Does this go to show that authorities needing backdoors to everything in order to do their jobs is actually kind of nonsense?

Eggyhead ,

Now now, Elon knows that there are conservative snowflakes who need their safe spaces.

Threads deepens its ties to the open social web, aka the ‘fediverse’ | TechCrunch (techcrunch.com)

Meta announced that users on Threads will be able to see fediverse replies on other posts besides their own. In addition, posts that originated through the Threads API, like those created via third-party apps and scheduling services, will now be syndicated to the fediverse.

Eggyhead ,

I don’t like this rebranding to “open social web” like it was made for them.

Is this thing on? Harris and Trump battle over hot mics at debate. (www.politico.com)

With just 15 days left until the scheduled Sept. 10 presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, negotiations between their two campaigns have hit an impasse over whether the candidates’ microphones will be muted when it is not their turn to speak, according to four people...

Eggyhead ,

Sometimes the questions take more time than the candidates are actually given. I can’t blame them for trying to talk over each other every god damned minute.

Eggyhead ,

So people need to be bound by EULAs that they don’t click to agree?

The guy hit esc to back out and the game launched anyway. Love it or hate it, whoever screwed up, it wasn’t the verge.

Eggyhead ,

To ride this special car, you must agree to not open the windows.

Expectation: No? Okay, then I cannot allow you to ride this special car.

Valve: nope? Okay well get in anyway... Whaaat you opened the windows? Wtf?

Not saying the verge writer was or wasn't behaving like an entitled child. In fact, I'm inclined to think he was, but It's irrelevant. Valve made a goof. (Gasp!)

I could care less what valve does in response. They could blacklist the verge entirely and I probably wouldn't even know. I just wonder if people only care because it's valve.

Eggyhead ,

As a cis male, fwiw, I personally wouldn’t even think about it if the male body was option B or 2 or whatever, but what do you think about a feminine to masculine slider? I think Elden ring did that and it seems pretty clever. After that I think there were other sliders for options such as weight or fitness or whatever.

Eggyhead ,

Huh, I suppose if you do support Palestine, you can’t be a DNC delegate?

Eggyhead ,

For those who wish to avoid the cookie wall

Eggyhead ,

Well whoever is selling meth on the street is probably very happy about having an FBI ballistics vest now.

Eggyhead ,

Well, they do like their natto over there, so I’m confident they can find a way to stomach this.

Eggyhead ,

Haha. You're right. I totally missed that. Try natto some time, though.

Eggyhead ,

Yeah my wife loves natto. I don’t mind the taste at all, but the texture is like a mouthful of snot and I can’t get over it.

Eggyhead ,

Putin would probably turn them right around and drop them in the middle of the Ukrainian frontlines while laughing.

Eggyhead ,

It’s funny to me that they even felt a need for this clause. What does the game have to do with feminism or Covid? It’s based on ancient Chinese mythology in ancient China telling a fictional story featuring Chinese mythological beings that are not real. Why would there be any reason to bring feminism or Covid into that in the first place?

It’s so weird and seems really snowflakey to me.

Eggyhead ,

Students don’t learn by just going to class then doing nothing afterwards. Teachers give the tools, the kids need to practice them. Jesus I wish I could get paid for just going to school.

Eggyhead ,

I’ve always believed that fiscal responsibility and interpersonal skills should be taught in schools. Add online etiquette and context interpretation to that list as well.

Also, who’s going to pay you? You’re going to school so you can learn how to make money for yourself later. If you don’t do your schoolwork, you might end up making less than others who did because you’ll be less experienced with it.

Eggyhead ,

Are you actually referencing a mastodon post made by one individual claiming to be a lifelong teacher as substantiated evidence to support your claim?

I’m also a lifelong teacher, and I think homework has its place.

  1. It allows teachers to assess a students progress and identify issues that individual might be struggling with.
  2. Teacher can modify the curriculum to improve common shortcoming appearing in homework results, in other words, hw can help the teacher help the students.
  3. HW allows more accurate grading, so you’re not just judged based on your tests, your attitude in class, and the teacher’s gut.
  4. As I mentioned, it’s practice for the student. Sure I could do math accurately if I really thought about it, but getting lots of practice in means it takes less time and I don’t look foolish at some point when it matters.

That said, I almost never assign hw in my own classes unless students need more time with a project than I am able to provide. That said, some student are never happy when I give them a score based solely on how much (or how little) they actually participate in class vs poke about on their phones.

Eggyhead ,

Was your citation not just another anecdote with no citation?

Eggyhead ,

It’ll be exciting to see prices temporarily jump during the few hours the majority of working class folk have to do their shopping.

Eggyhead ,

Assuming a store with 9a-9p hours (every day), a 9-5 worker can shop 44 hours in a week, vs 40 they cannot.

You can’t just logic this kind of thing out mathematically because during those 44 hours people have lives to live and obligations to fulfill. Families to manage, food to prepare, appointments to attend, plus they need to sleep. Busy shopping hours are busy for a reason. Nobody wants to be stuck in a busy shopping center. They just do because that’s the time they have to do it.

Eggyhead ,

Huh. TIL only socialists argue from a perspective of what benefits society...

Eggyhead ,

Are you telling me that if a kid named Timmy wants me to call him Tim, I should only be calling him Timmy? Fuck that noise.

Eggyhead ,

Im so glad you have insight on this. You see, I get a lot of international students in my class and I’ve had to deal with this type of thing a lot. Maybe you can help me out.

Let’s say I have a polish student whose name is “Żółć”, which is somewhat difficult to pronounce in English. After a few failed attempts, he just tells me he prefers “George” because it sounds close enough, he likes that it sounds like English, and is easier for everyone to pronounce. His English-speaking friends call him George as well.

Do I…

  1. Go on and call him George since he prefers it, everybody knows him as that, and move on with the lesson?
  2. Call his parents to request that they have his name legally changed to George so I can use it in the classroom, then butcher his actual name in front of his friends until they do?
  3. Assign him a nick name (not a pet name, because that might be a little weird) “Polish kid” or “Student number 8” so I can call him something easy, be technically correct, and disregard his preferred, yet technically incorrect name?

I could really use some help with this since it happens all the time. Please let me know what you think.

Eggyhead ,

OR, just bear with me…

Call them the name they’d prefer to be called because it’s easier than making a scene and nobody actually gaf.

Eggyhead ,

Cue the space man gun meme.

It always was store exclusives.

Eggyhead ,

I was literally talking about housing costs with my wife on our walk back from the grocery store not 30m before stumbling across this post.

Eggyhead ,

That discussion comes up whenever we talk about having kids.

Eggyhead ,

Police can’t tell who you are when you’re caught on video.
