Dang coming in clutch, my friend

I was able to register, thank you so much!

Check out Tildes

I would if it wasn't invite-only :/

Half the reason I was on reddit was to engage in discussions, and that's largely lost if I'm just scrolling through an unfiltered news feed with no way to participate.

I'm 100% not okay with stealing and ransoming people's personal information, but this makes me want to be 99% not okay with it.

Is this just SMTV: Royal? Like basically the same game but with some added content?

What are your options?

Cemu or original hardware? I love playing the original on the Wii U but it's cool upscaling to 1440p

Picked up Paper Mario TTYD on Switch to see what all the hype is about, and yeah honestly all the OG fans were right about it. It's the best one I've played in the series by a longshot.

Without context, I would assume Sticker Star and Color Splash released before TTYD - as if they were still figuring out where to go with the series, and would eventually evolve into something better as technology advanced. Then TTYD comes along, and not only has more mechanical depth, but also so much more life and creativity in it.

I like the idea of rolling release in theory, but stability is extremely important to me because I use Linux as my daily driver.

EndeavourOS and Manjaro aren't really going to do much to address your desire to use terminal more than Mint IMO, either; most mainstream distros like that emphasize usability first and foremost.

If you're looking to really get under the hood, go with Arch ans follow a guide so you don't bork anything too badly. Arch uses a different package manager than Mint/Ubuntu, so some of the commands might look different if you're not following Arch-specific guides, but terminal is terminal is terminal in many cases. You can run Steam on Arch, and building the core functionality on your own will get you acquainted with terminal.

Although I've used everything from Arch to Zorin, and eventually you will have to use terminal for something. Just depends on what your longterm goals are, what usability you will need to rely on quickly, and how you think you'll get to those goals most efficiently.

Sounds like you should just use Mint, especially if you tried and like it. It's customizable, GUI friendly, it's based on Ubuntu so most guides for either will work, and you can download Steam to it and play native games (or Windows games through Proton).

I don't know what you're looking for, that Mint doesn't provide. You can download different DEs or window managers, you can write your own bash scripts, and the core functionality for regular use is already there.

The issue is voters talk about how regular people are doing, while politicians talk about “the economy” which is rich people and business…

This, 100%.

Ask some person on the street how their stock portfolio is looking, and they'll probably be like "The F are you talking about???"

Ask the same person about the cost of groceries, and they'll have a rant locked and loaded about why a 12 pack of soda costs $10 now.

When people respond to these surveys, they are taking their experiences with them, and most of us are seeing expensive gas, expensive groceries, expensive housing, and jobs that don't pay enough to live. People couldn't afford to live on $8 an hour a decade ago, and now everything costs more.

This has downstream effects in that it makes it harder to switch jobs because you cant wait two weeks for your new job to kick in - much less afford to take off work to go to an interview. You can't move to a city with more opportunities because cities are more expensive and you can't even afford to save up enough to make the move because you're paycheck to paycheck. Jobs paying "market rate" for wages which is dragged down because the system keeps people desperate enough to work for cheap.

These are people who have had to live with the boot of the economy on their necks for a long time. And while politicians can talk about all the great jobs out there and how amazing the economy is, for real people that boot is just stepping down harder. It's no wonder they blame leadership when this is their experience with this economy.

Pollution, climate change, unchecked capitalism, VR headsets... I'd say we're just a few decades out from a dystopian cyberpunk era

Genre mismatch might be a factor? Don't Starve is not an action-roguelite like Binding of Isaac; it's a survival-crafting game. They are aiming to be vastly different experiences.

I've had Kenshi on my wishlist for a long time, and I haven't pulled the trigger. What's your favorite part about it? Most of what I know is that it's punishing and has deep roleplaying opportunities, but I don't know a lot of the specifics.

Most of the story criticism I've heard fall into a handful of categories:

• Overall plot seeming convoluted and hard to follow (which is understandable when you throw both time travel and parallel universes into the same story)

• Whitewashed portrayal of racism used for story aesthetics

• Ending feeling confusing and/or unsatisfying

• Certain story moments feeling out of place and/or undermining things that other story moments set up

I haven't seen much in the way of players expecting/predicting plot twists.

For those who can't watch right now

I thought Tommy was the White Power Ranger?

The amount of time to build something like this seems like it would offset the amount of effort it would take just to write good character dialogue. AI tools are basically word calculators, which means you have to provide data for the LLM, which means time to produce this data, time to build guardrails, etc. Even in this implementation, they say they had to build guardrails so that they don't say anything "harmful."

There are also a number of lawsuits going on that will set a precedent for how training data can be utilized in commercial products. While I expect them to take the side of large corporations with vast resources at the expense of ethics, there's the possibility that they will do the right thing. This will affect how AI tools wil be used in such contexts.

So is this stock Yuzu without any changes? IIRC the legal issue was something about circumventing copy protection, so would this project be subject to the same issues?

Also, how do I verify that this fork isn't malware wrapped in emulator code?

"Monado" has no specific meaning and is just a name.

As a Xenoblade fan, I call BS.

But I do expect we'll see more open source VR solutions and support as adoption increases. They're still in that phase of expensive luxury goods in most cases - PSVR costs more than a PS5 and also requires one to work, Index is $1000, and I don't even know where the Apple headset got its pricing.

Most of these also want to lock down their VR as a platform, instead of being ubiquitous hardware like a monitor, and I think lack of standardization is gonna hurt them in the long run by narrowing their audience.
