Have you not heard of a router? Sure i have an internet connection but i wouldnt have to. Lots of people have subnetworks that are isolated from outside network access, and my router would still be able to stream from my computer to my laptop even if my internet was down or i unplugged the modem. The last time they did scheduled maintenance on my internet thats exactly what i did, i streamed things that i had previously downloaded and saved on a different computer.

Literally if my “ai based adblocker” could block ads originating from another server, why wouldnt it be able to block hundreds of gigabytes of javascript? Why would i even let that download in the first place?

So if you had no soap available and shit on your arm, what would you use? Only paper? Or water? Your argument is fucking stupid. Of course people have different standards of cleanliness but the guy who doesnt clean his ass at all also has a different standard of cleanliness, and his standard is fucking disgusting.

If youre only streaming it within your home network that could still be very much offline…

Microsoft mjght have been better than thwy are now then, but they were NEVER fun and cool. Dont be gaslit.

Steam deck. Not as cheap as an ambernic or raspberry pi, but I’ve been blown away by how painless and plug and play everything is, and I’ve played games on it from every console generation up to ps3 so far, plus modern pc games. Steaminput makes controller settings a breeze even for games or applications that don’t have good input settings. I knew I’d like it before I got one last year, but since then I can’t say enough good things about it, it’s honestly everything I dreamed of as a kid playing video games, almost every game under the sun all in one handheld package, it’s honestly incredible.

Lots of controllers have gyroscopes these days. The ones I’ve personally used are switch, ds4 and steam deck, but I assume it’s a pretty regular feature on newer controllers these days too.

I usually do this anyway to a certain extent, at least I kinda rephrase what I said, in case them asking ‘what’ wasn’t because they didn’t hear me but because they didn’t understand. Then if their brain does catch up they get two different versions of my message :)

I mean the way I’ve seen it in a lot of grocery stores is there is a separate, often walk in cooler for single cans/small cases of imports or more specialty beers, and then an aisle with big cases of the common beers that arent cold. I’ve also seen a store where half the aisle was stand up refrigerated shelves and half was unrefridgerated for the bigger cases, which I assume is happening here.

More like Goron amirite? Hue hue hue

Except you’ve already had 5 hours of your body metabolizing caffeine, so the effects of the remaining half a dose after 5 hours aren’t nearly the same as if you took that half a dose after a night’s sleep and not having had any. Your body becomes accustomed to it. That’s how all drugs work. You can take 6 grams of mushrooms and it’ll definitely still be in your system after 6 hours, but the effects won’t be the same as taking 3 grams straight up, it will have almost entirely worn off despite the residual psilocybin in your body.

He just has 3 centipedes as patients, but that’s enough, he’s not taking on any new ones right now.

I assume we saw the same one but it wasn’t an ‘official’ controller, it was a 3rd party one specifically designed with steam in mind. Made by a company called Hori. Valve hasn’t announced another steam controller yet.

I mean you could just not use the difficulty slider. I’ve never turned down the difficulty in any game even if I could have, but I don’t begrudge people that do if they’re struggling.

I hate that games started designing around microtransactions. Like who thought “hey let’s take the worst parts of MMOs and put them into single player”. I loved AC origins and was so looking forward to odyssey and then I just bounced off it within a few hours because so much of it just felt like doing chores.

Nothing says freedom like forced conformity and rigid adherence to authoritarian power structures!

Make mac and cheese with your leftover hot dog water if the desert you’re in only has macaroni and hot dogs instead of eggs and potatoes.

Or they just made an announcement in 2021 about their existing content management tools and how much they’ve spent on them over the years. That’s how I read it anyway.

I’ve installed many non steam games on my deck, but the vast majority were ones I already had on my PC. I’ve found the easiest way by far is just to copy over the installed game folder to the steamdeck via ftp and add to steam. Only one game I’ve had to do any fiddling with so far, and that was just installing vcc studio dependencies with wine tricks. Other than that everything has worked with zero fiddling.

The ai has done a pretty good job damaging its own reputation. This one is fake, but there’s lots of real examples of it saying absurd things. Like to drink urine when you have a kidney stone, or put glue in your pizza cheese to stop it from sliding off the pizza.
