Actually, it would really help if the “Block” button was right next to the username on the spam post. Having to hover over the name and wait for the modal to appear and then go click on “Block” makes it more of a nuisance. I wonder also if in the future you could choose not to display posts by user accounts less than a month old with only downvotes or who have been blocked by hundreds of people.

The Homeworld 3 demo is impressive and I’m really enjoying Lightyear Frontier as well. Definitely going to buy both when they come out in March. I’ve been hooked on the Homeworld universe since I started playing it in the 90’s (25 years ago! lol I’m old) so it’s been quite a long wait but it looks like BBI have done a great job. I’ve loved them since Hardspace Shipbreaker so I knew this would be something special.

You forget a thousand voice chatbots every day, how about you make sure this is one of them…

I recently re-installed The Crew 2 because I wanted to start a new character and start the story again from scratch. Unfortunately I’d forgotten that YOU CAN’T START AGAIN (Jackie Chan Confused Meme). Because of these ridiculous shenanigans of theirs your progress is inextricably tied to your online account. They have literally built a system that limits replayability. Bravo.

There’s something he said in that interview that felt like a hint about why he’s behaving like he doesn’t give a damn anymore.

“For a while there I was like really getting demotivated and losing sleep over the sort of the threat of AI danger and then I finally sort of became fatalistic about it and said well even if I knew annihilation was certain would I choose to be alive at that time or not and I said I probably would have choose to be alive at that time because it’s the most interesting thing. Even if there was nothing I could do about it. So then, you know, then basically sort of a fatalistic resignation help me sleep at night because I was having trouble sleeping at night because of AI danger.”

A billionaire who believes that we’re all probably doomed within the next decade and has accepted it so he can sleep at night.

Maybe explains a lot about his behaviour? If you know this all ends in the next few years, why not just try crazy shit.

Thanks :)

I’ve sunk 473 hours into it haha. Haven’t played it recently though… and you’ve just reminded me of it so I’m going to go salvage a Mackerel right now! :)

Really stunning looking atmospheric game but then I read this in a Steam review posted today by user Sawovsky “By far, the worst thing in this game is infuriatingly outdated traversal mechanics. The game only allows you to climb or descend at very specific places, and it won’t let you traverse anywhere else, despite being obvious that our character can do so. It’s hard to describe just how annoying this is.” I think I’ll wait to see if others echo this sentiment before going for it…

They’re two, they’re four, they’re six, they’re eight
Shunting spaceships, hauling freight
Grey and black and speedy too
They’re the awesome pew pew crew
All with different roles to play
'round planet Daro far away
Down the hills and round the bends
Thomas and his pew pew friends

Can I hazard a guess that you’re an ex redditor? People try to be nicer to each other here. I’m a reddit refugee myself and it’s sometimes hard to change habits but this place is nice and it’s worth it. To me this whole migration kerfuffle seems like a rare opportunity to be more thoughful in my interactions with people online. So far it’s making for a much nicer experience.

Soon there won’t be an inch of the planet that isn’t being live streamed, whether people are aware of it or not. I really wish Mark had been hugged more as a child.

The kind of people who stick around because you pay them aren’t the people you want to stick around.
Coincidentally I notice that Conagra Brands, Inc. (CAG) is trading down at the moment (28.01-0.28) so if you’d like to buy some shares in one of the biggest producers of popcorn in the world now’s a good time lol

Back in the 90’s I owned a Forte VFX1 headset (shout out to my config.sys and autoexec.bat bros) and that truly tested your stomach but it was “the future” so everyone seemed to put up with the near constant nausea and vomiting. Things are so much better now, but there’s one fundamental aspect of VR in my view that will always hold it back. It’s not the cost, cos that eventually comes down. It’s that you’ll never get away from the fact that you are wearing a giant plastic thing on your head. You can’t itch your face. It gets hot and sweaty and generally not a fun time after a while. The minute someone figures out how to safely somehow beam the experience into your brain, without having to wear a high tech casserole dish on your head for hours then it’ll become the new global thing.

Oh my goodness! Thanks :D

I’m a reddit refugee and as a non technical person I actually prefer kbin to reddit. It’s nice and simple and I get all the content I need easily. The only thing I wish was 1 click less is viewing images/videos. At the moment I seem to have to click on a post to go to that posts page and then click on the image/video in that post to see it full size. I wish I could just go through my feed expanding and dismissing images and videos with 1 click without having to load a separate page. Kbin is awesome though and definitely my home for the foreseeable :)

Isn’t this game living up to the hype then? When I heard that planet landings and takeoffs were going to be cut scenes I did wonder.

I have no idea about Harris history but this seemed like such a biased headline and gossipy article I did a little digging about who the Washington Examiner is. Apparently it’s a right wing paper owned by a billionaire mega donor to Trump’s campaign.

Makes a little more sense now.

I’ve had this game for a while but just haven’t been able to make friends with the UI so far. It feels like there’s a cool little game loop in there but it just hasn’t grabbed me yet. Do you know if there’s a good guide out there I could look at?

My online experience has been much better without reddit. kbin is awesome and I want nothing to do with reddit. Last week I deleted my 10 year old account and I even add “-reddit” to the end of my google searches now so nothing from them comes up in the results. The interesting thing I’m noticing is that the longer I’m away from that toxic hellhole the better I feel. Thank goodness for kbin!

On a sidenote, I’m also fully aware that a company as aggressive and twisted as reddit will definitely have agents in here trying to manipulate the conversation to get people to come back. I ain’t never coming back. Reddit sucks. I see you. Quit your BS.

Great question! Didn’t even have to think about it. It’s got to be Hardspace: Shipbreaker. It’s the game I go to whenever I’m down and just need to sink into something familiar and simple. I can just be an anonymous roughneck nobody, floating in orbit far above a ruined earth, taking old decommisioned spaceships apart for salvage. The Mackerel Exolab with the large Solar Sails is my favourite ship. It’s just really peaceful but with the slight risk of sudden death to keep me on my toes hehe
