Ehhh copilot is legitimately not shit. It's actually downright usable in a lot of cases.

An all-time great turnaround. Truly up there was No Man's Sky's resurrection from the dead. Cyberpunk 2077 is a masterpiece now, especially with Phantom Liberty.

I really want to get back into this, but I fucking having to buy old, partially-sunset/vaulted to DLC packs on other to have full characters and locations.

I would buy Final Shape on day 1 if that purchase included all the old DLC packs. I need my stasis back, damn it.

Sometimes others aren't looking to express their needs in order to find a solution to a problem... sometimes they just need to let those feelings out - they need to feel heard, and that's plenty.

Obligatory "DDG is Bing without Microsoft's tracking." Just calling a spade a spade.

Interesting! Did your results have that copilot summary thing? I get most of my answers there without having to visit a handful of ad-laden sites myself, though it also cites its references in case I don't trust the summary.

Have you just, I dunno, used Bing?

Gonna be an unpopular opinion, but for me Bing is more useful than DDG. Note that I didn't say, "better"... I know that increase in relevance of results for Bing stems from the fact that they roll all my historical info into what they serve up.

I was pumped for this but it's a buggy mess. Multiple breaking bugs and even a hard crash in only the first couple of hours. I hope they toss us a performance patch soon.

I'm not sure how to feel about this one...

Something curious has happened since the Supreme Court handed down the Dobbs decision in June 2022: More people have obtained abortions, despite increasing barriers to access.

Actually true. They hooked me in the golden era of rewards points and I'll be damned if it isn't way better than Google now. Bing image search is especially great. Even their copilot thing (RIP Cortana) is useful.

Would it be possible to add (smoother, in some cases) integration with music services? Imagine one library that could reach into Spotify, Tidal, etc. all in one player.

Hey, hey, now! It doesn't just write full emails from merely a single sentence... it also summarizes full emails down to one sentence on the other end.

I get a 404 here... I'm using Boost and I'm on lemmy.world. Would either of those be blocking?

Gotta have that crazy high engagement, broh. Engagement= $$, right??

Until we have a justice system that convicts with 100% accuracy, supporting the death penalty means supporting the execution of a nonzero number of innocent people.

I've been holding out for Lords of the Fallen. Had a feeling that would land on Game Pass eventually. I enjoyed the o.g. despite its flaws and I'll definitely try the new iteration.

Is Immortals of Aveum as bad as it sounds?

Chants of Sennaar looks interesting. No clue what to expect there.

Starfield can't be fixed. The game's issues are rooted in its core - procedurally generated maps, zero-consequence writing, forgettable gunplay. They could fix stuff like base building, giving it an actual purpose, for example. But in order to make exploration and role playing interesting/fun they'd have to effective make a whole new game.

I went the route of a physical collection, but man do they make it difficult unless you get a commercial player that is likely to have ads and doesn’t integrate well into a home theater setup.

What? Where are you seeing this issue?

I grabbed a Panasonic UHD player and it's been a dream. Zero ads, HDMI control so I can use the same remote that works with my TV and receiver, it has full Atmos and Dolby Vision support so the quality is amazing... truly the whole package. And it's available everywhere you'd expect.

For a median salary of $112k/yr. Just sayin'.
