I have enough games in my steam library that I could never buy another game, and be perfectly content

So, just Rimworld then.

Honestly though, same. I was really interested in Ghosts of Tsushima when it launched. Now years later it’s finally on PC but it costs more than I usually pay for new games. Fuck that. The only way I’m buying a PS5 is if a friend wants one and is willing to let me get it, play FF7 & 16 then sell it to them in a few months.

Damn right. There are approximately infinity other games to play, they had their chance.

Average night when you accidentally open tvtropes.

Right, so it’s not like they’re being tricked into generating porn or anything. It’s not some option that they would have turned off if they’d known about it, they just don’t care what’s happening because they only want the reward. Again I’m not saying I agree with it or that Salad’s right to do it, but if they say that’s potentially what it can be used for (and they do because the opt-out is available) then the focus should be on the client companies using the tool for questionable purposes.

They said they did.

However, by default the software settings opt users into generating adult content. An option exists to “configure workload types manually” which enables users to uncheck the “Adult Content Workloads” option (via 404 media), however this is easily missed in the setup process, which I duly tested for myself to confirm.

Honestly, and I’m not saying I support what’s being done here, the way I see it if you’re tech savvy enough to be interested in using a program like this you should be looking through all of the options properly anyway. If users don’t care what they’re doing and are only interested in the rewards that’s kind of on them.

I just think the article is focused on the wrong company, Salad is selling a tool that is being potentially misused by users of their client’s service. I can certainly see why that can be a problem, but based on the information given in the article I don’t think it’s really theirs. If that’s ALL Salad’s used for then that’s a different story.

If I’m reading this right, it’s a program that users sign up for to donate their processing power (and can opt in or out of adult content), which is then used by client companies to generate their own users’ content? It even says that Salad can’t view or moderate the images, so what exactly are they doing wrong besides providing service to potentially questionable companies? It makes as much sense as blaming Nvidia or Microsoft, am I missing something?

Yeah I was holding onto it because I used to be active on /r/pokemontrades, but I haven’t been back there since the blackout stuff. I’ll DM it.

I still have the code for the mystery gift download if you want that, I don’t think it’s expired yet.

All I’ve got is my Ranger clothing and Mantis suit, and I don’t really like any of it. I’m doing the Ryujin missions now so hopefully I’ll get something nice to wear. I still need to find something for the crew too.

I’m partway through it, playing as a character with good stealth and persuasion. The only other faction line I’ve done is the Ranger one, and this one is much more fun & interesting. My only complaint is that the missions are a little too quick & simple, especially considering I’m still trying to get the hang of travelling without fast-travelling but I always manage to make multiple jumps instantly by accident.

Well, at least Abbott’s gone and, let’s see… has just been nominated for a position at Fox Corporation’s board of directors by the new Murdoch who appears to want to be worse than the old one. Oh boy.

There was, just replace the “one” with “two” in the url and it’s there.

If it’s the thing I stumbled into yesterday then not only can you choose not to do it, if you’re part of a certain faction you can refuse in a way that lets everyone walk away happy without starting any fights. 3 completely different outcomes affected by faction relations sounds pretty good to me.

How do you feel and what do you think are pretty much opposite questions though, one’s asking for a reaction and one’s asking for analysis. So far in my experience the game has been pretty good about different dialogue options, I’ve reloaded a bunch of conversations to explore the directions they can take, it’s not like say Pokemon where you always have 2 choices and they always lead to the same line of dialogue that addresses both.

It’s not perfect, but that helped a lot. The audio’s still a bit dodgy, but the freezing has stopped and I can actually play now. Thank you very much.

I’ve got well above the recommended specs but the game runs too badly for me to play, sadly. Every voice file is delayed by a few seconds (which is an eternity in lip-sync time) and the game stutters & freezes constantly, in both interior & exterior cells. I haven’t played since the latest update to see if anything improved, but I’ve easily got over 1000 hours in everything from Oblivion to Fallout 4 and had every intention of sinking the same kind of time into Starfield.

deserves to be frog stew (as in that boiling frog metaphor). I’d love to be proven wrong though.

Professor Hutchison says: “The legend is entirely incorrect! The ‘critical thermal maxima’ of many species of frogs have been determined by several investigators. In this procedure, the water in which a frog is submerged is heated gradually at about 2°F per minute. As the temperature of the water is gradually increased, the frog will eventually become more and more active in attempts to escape the heated water. If the container size and opening allow the frog to jump out, it will do so.”

Alright Lavrov, grab a gun and get moving.

Exact same situation here, I used Boost for ages and have been registered for the play store release since it appeared. Connect lets you hide individual posts so it appears to be possible, it’s the only feature I desperately want. I just set up Connect and Boost today after using Liftoff for months, and as much as I liked Boost I might just stick with Connect unless/until a hide button is added.
