All, top 6 hours.

Is that bad? I love almond milk but I feel like it deserves its own word. :P

I usually am pleasant, though. I would feel much less human if I just demanded things!

Very cool! I’m looking forward to it, but it also seems like the first expac that I might not want to enable for every playthrough, which is interesting—I wonder if we’ll see more of these themed packs going forward.

I’m on board with this, but I may be biased because I also don’t like using Discord for anything else. Every time someone sends me a Discord invite I feel a little defeated, because it is usually after I have agreed to participate in something.

I did as a kid, but my tinnitus covers it up now.

Edit: Sorry, meant to reply to the comment above you!

They’re not really leases either. Leases last for a defined period of time, like “one year,” or they renew at regular intervals, like “monthly.” “Pay up front and we’ll let you keep this license for either forever or until we decide to revoke it without notifying you” isn’t the same thing.

No idea!

Is all bad online behavior “trolling” now? Isn’t “shill” a better word for someone who is paid to surreptitiously promote something?

Belated congratulations on having a super awesome wedding day!

This is the first I’ve heard of Jumplight Odyssey. It looks potentially cool, but $30 for an early access title is a big ask in a year completely saturated with banger games, and based on the reviews it seems to need a bit more time before it is really ready. I’m not surprised, then, that it didn’t do as well as they hoped: if they hadn’t just announced that they’re stopping development, I would have put it on my wishlist to come back to in a year or two when it’s feature-complete, and when hopefully I’m not in the middle of so many other games already. If that’s a typical response, they probably didn’t get many sales.

I think WB is counting on people blaming Sony even though it seems like WB is the one who decided not to play nice.

This is just like the “designer drugs” thing where regulation can never keep up, right? You can always make a new product that falls outside the current definition of what’s restricted but inside the definition of what your customers want.

The government can’t win without completely forbidding the export of electronics tech to China.

I wonder if new vehicle sales are down overall. If I had to replace my car today, I’d be looking for something second hand.

Edit: According to Cox Automotive Inc., September sales were actually up 13% from last year. Huh.

In the initial phase, the official fix (just purge your cache and redownload the filter lists to get the latest ones) didn’t work for me, but the second revision of a filter someone posted to Lemmy did. It had the side effect of making it impossible to scroll down on video pages, but it’s not like the comments on Youtube are super valuable most of the time anyway.

After a week or so I deleted that one to see how the official filters were doing, and it turned out they worked great and I haven’t had an issue since.

I’m curious why the limit is one item. If the drone can carry 5 pounds, why can’t they put 5 pounds of stuff in the box?

It’s not a generative model running on your graphics card coming up with novel speech to match the gamestate; it would never be fast enough (and you’re also using that card to, you know, run the graphics). They’re using machine learning to generate speech for their pre-written lines so that they can avoid hiring voice actors. I guess they didn’t want to try the old way of having whoever isn’t too busy in your office record the lines.

Mostly SMS, but I have one friend who uses Whatsapp. I have Signal installed but wasn’t able to convince anyone else to switch.

I would ask if I’m getting royalties from this episode, and if the answer was no I would walk out.
