One problem, Rome actually put effort into feeding the populace (ie the bread part).

I played Primordia ages ago. It's such an interesting world, and the voice acting is top notch.

The NES controller. Though I like 2 at the time. First one I remember playing is the SNES controller.

It's the two that aren't outside in the snow.

Evoland 2: A game paying homage to the history of rpgs, and has a fairly solid set of main characters.

Lenna's Inception: A 2D Zelda clone about the world glitching out and you taking the place of the main character.

Bastion: First game from Supergiant Games (makers of Hades). Fantastic music and voice acting. Fairly good story too.

I hope you enjoy it! Fair warning ahead of time it does have multiple endings, and the good one will probably take a second play through, though it's not particularly long.

RaineV1 ,

It's somewhat randomized, but not procedurally generated in the typical sense. There's a set number of dungeons that will appear in the same general regions each time. Along with a set order of doing the dungeons.

It never would have worked. The absolute best case scenario was one hedgefund company has less profit that year.

So, that is a ton of caffeine, but if you have a heart condition you really should be more careful about that shit.

RaineV1 ,

There's generally a sign saying the amount of caffeine it has, and gets advertised as being caffeinated. Yes, people with food issues need to actually read stuff like that.

RaineV1 ,

Honestly, a couch with pockets seems useful.

If you call people in the Southern US a Yankee it won't end well for you.

By all accounts the builders of the pyramids actually had nice places to live, and a higher quality of life than most Egyptians. In truth there is literally no evidence they were slaves outside of the story of Moses.

RaineV1 ,

Ah, going the George Bush route that the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. So, let me tell you about the unicorns on Mars. What, you can't prove they're not there.

Seriously though, we do have quite a few records from then since the Egyptian kings really wanted people to know about them. We also have archeological finds of where the workers lived. Also in them being given lavish tombs that regular Egyptians at the time didn't. This stuff is really not hard to look up.

Things can change a lot in nearly 20 years.

Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish (infosec.pub)

Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....

RaineV1 ,

While I can agree with the 4K argument a bit for the hosting is expensive part, I do think it goes way beyond that or long videos. Youtube exists on a scale most don't even realize. Tens of millions of people upload content every day. We're talking thousands of hours worth of video every day.

Not to excuse YouTube for a lot of dumb decisions they made, but even on their best day the site just breaks even due to the cost of hosting.

RaineV1 ,

Not really. That only really started with the crusades. For most of history it just got traded between various empires that just wanted to control the entire region (Babylon, Persia, Macadon/Selucids, Rome, Ottomans, etc).

RaineV1 ,

I use Vivaldi Mobile Browser that makes it a lot more usable.

RaineV1 ,

That last part is all that really matters in this case. None of them can make their insanity interesting to watch without the reality TV star around.

RaineV1 ,

Probably looking at all republican debates since 2015. In short, the lowest its been since Trump.

Do the Evolution by Pearl Jam is definitely the most impressive that I've seen.

Woman propped up to look alive for family after already being declared dead at Adena Hospital, records show (sciotovalleyguardian.com)

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — A recent incident at Adena Health System has intensified scrutiny of its cardiology department. A 65-year-old woman died during what should have been a routine heart catheterization, leading to pressing questions about the practices and credentials of the physicians involved. What happened after her time of...

Weekend at Adena's.

The latter really wouldn't surprise me. A service could be making four times the investment in profit and many investors will still push to get a few more cents out of it at any cost.

RaineV1 ,

Eh. Can't say I had fun watching my higher end weapon break on the stronger, bullet sponge enemies later on, and replacing it with a crappy short swords that do barely any damage. ToTK though was certainly better thanks to fusion.

Russia has done horrible things to the Ukrainian people for a good century now. I hope the Ukraine doesn't get pressured into giving its land and people over to Putin. Any deal needs to give Ukraine all its territory back, and for Russia to keep its military off their border.

I'm pretty left leaning, and I'm against any fascist state trying to turn its neighbors into vassal states for its interest. And yes, that means being against a lot of what the US does as well.

RaineV1 ,

The main thing is simply being steady. You can get used to, and ignore a lower frame rate as long as it's not jumping up and down.

RaineV1 , (edited )

I mean, yeah, if you aren't into the core elements of a game you probably won't be interested in the game. It's like say, "I'm not impressed with the new Mario game. I don't want to do platforming, and I don't care about powerups or collecting things."

RaineV1 ,

Most reviewers have given it a good score. Usually around 8/10. ACG has a pretty good review of the good and bad where he gave it a buy rating.

Impressions: Starfield’s sheer scale is already giving me vertigo (arstechnica.com)

There's a quote from Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy that I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. “Space is big,” he writes. “You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the drug store, but that's just peanuts to...

RaineV1 ,

It doesn't use the old engine.

I HAVE KILLED THE MONSTER, AND BECOME AN OUTLAW.

Tormented Souls is probably the best example out there of modernizing classic style survival horror. I hope the second one is just as good.
