Hundred and eight what?

Hundred and eight speed.

vonxylofon ,

If you haven’t, give the Talos Principle a try. It scratches the same itch as Portal for me, although the tone is less whimsical, but equally bizarre.

vonxylofon ,

Yeah, I’ve heard good things about the second one, so I’m doing the first one now. Finding the stars is truly insane sometimes.

vonxylofon ,

INSIDE absolutely blew me away a few months ago, and I got a recommendation for Little Nightmares in a discussion about it. After about half an hour, I’ve gotta say, it’s properly weird and I wonder what’s it got in stock for me.

vonxylofon ,

Not a single Triffid reference? I am disappointed.

vonxylofon ,

Innit?

vonxylofon ,

Innit?

vonxylofon ,

Looking at all the cars in the socialist countries… Huh.

vonxylofon ,

Who says you can’t eat the car? Definitely not this guy: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Lotito

vonxylofon ,

Did they f*cking stutter?

Quite strange when you know the scene.

Nomination itself is a kind of a prize. Yes, BG3 will probably win everything, but that’s what happens if it’s really that good at everything. LotR won 11 Oscars because it was better than all the other contenders that year, but the nominations mean they were recognised as good enough to go against the winner.

vonxylofon ,

Clearly, you don’t frequent simracing communities.

vonxylofon ,

Uh, soft is the correct consistency of the brain, no…?

vonxylofon ,

They got my wife’s name wrong.

That could be pretty easily abused, imagine, by straw men siphoning state money without any prospect of winning.

At least in Europe, there are campaign financial limits so things don’t get too out of hand. Corruption, therefore, is done via other means.

vonxylofon ,

The stated problem is actually more pronounced with a larger number of parties than 2. If the governing party is strong, but doesn’t have majority, and the opposition is split, they usually need to trade favours with the opposition parties to get anything done.

vonxylofon ,

Yep, same in the Czech Republic.

On the internet, nobody knows you’re one of these: 1000034683

Hogwash! I love getting new socks. Last year, I got bright green socks with avocados on them. Glorious.

vonxylofon ,

That’s not what the article says. This is basically a save game for every-ish moment in the gameplay + a facility to launch the game at the scene you’re watching a video of, which is massive amounts of data + progress sync, so if they figured out how to do that at scale, it’s legit innovation.

vonxylofon ,

Not enough info in the article to tell the difference, I’d say. Maybe because this should apply to your local games? IDK

vonxylofon ,

If you can encode your entire game progress into that level code, then it’s just that, yep.

vonxylofon ,

Yes, NES games. Now try that with Baldur’s Gate.

I'm so sick of dinky shitty devices with garbage rechargeable batteries

you always have to manage a million different cables for each one, and they all suck. why can’t we just use AAA batteries instead of these shitty lithium ones? it’s so fucking frustrating. where can I find gadgets that work while plugged in, or at least don’t need to be recharged every two fucking days?

vonxylofon ,

Philips used to be a pretty decent brand, it’s gone down big time over the last decade. Ask me how I know.

vonxylofon ,

Charging my laptop with my powerbank I have for my phone is a moment of glory.

vonxylofon ,

WTH do people do with their cables? I haven’t had one fray/fail on me… ever, and I pay zero attention to them.

vonxylofon ,

That was rhetorical.

But since we’re all gathered here… I used to buy a lot of their stuff, and, well, now I don’t because they’ve gone to shit.

vonxylofon ,

Oh no, step stool, what are you doing?

vonxylofon ,

Talk to the parents then?

vonxylofon ,

Not any more, actually. Francis rides in the open.

vonxylofon ,

He did say something to that effect, yes.

vonxylofon ,

Nah, the first Iron Man still holds up well.
