  • Tem Tem is way closer to being a proper Pokemon game and has been on Steam for years.

  • Kitten looks very new born. He likely found it there and decided to take care of it.

  • Steam engines.

    The vast majority of our power comes from making something really hot and boiling water. Coal plant? Oil plant? Gas plant? Nuclear fission plant? Geothermal plant? The grand holy grail of energy production that would be a nuclear fusion plant? All steam engines.

    Yes, unbeknownst to everyone, this is what a steampunk society realistically looks like.

  • How's the game these days? I like the idea of it, but when I saw my friend play it around launch I was put off from buying it due to all the problems it had. Or just the bad design in some areas.

    • Like, how is enemy AI? Are they still brain dead?
    • How are the game's physics? Do they still cause weird things to happen?
    • Are random clipping issues solved?
  • "Functional machine" is the working term here. But I guess we have different definitions of what counts as "functional" :)

  • Warning:

    Since I'm not seeing it mentioned here, I will. Intel ARC cards have issues with Unreal Engine 5. Expect graphical artefacting in Dune Awakening, and ten-fold the artefacting in Oblivion Remastered and Avowed.

    Looking at the Mesa forums they already found what is causing the graphical issues and made a quick fix for it which will be added to Mesa... Who knows? It's been a while since they found a fix and it's still not part of my Mesa driver.

  • Brilliant! I remember when the Bionicle fans did this, with the original planned, but cancelled, Bionicle game.

  • Your dad has impeccable taste.

    Goes well with the rest of the room. Would be a shame there weren't more sea related items in the room, though. Gotta commit to the theme besides the sexy sirens.

  • Votes for harsh immigration laws.

    Sees Canadian getting fucked by immigration laws.

    "Wait! I meant brown people! Immigration laws against Brown people! Trump betrayed us!"

  • This was bound to happen. No way would Musk let an AI contradict his views.

  • You know, it's getting seriously difficult for me to discern Trump's actual posts from parody accounts.

    The way he writes and says things... It just sounds like someone trolling.

  • Yes, but assuming the system has 100% perfect efficiency (which is impossible) it'll only produce the same amount of fuel each time, not more than was put inside.

    Problem also is that fusing becomes progressively more difficult the heavier the element gets, requiring more energy to create the fusion. So really, if we're looking at a perfect efficiency, and consider the potential energy from the entire process until fusion isn't possible anymore, you'll only ever get as much energy (fuel) out of it as the fuel (potential energy) you put into it.

    I really take issue with such headlines because people who aren't scientifically literate will be mislead and become stupider as a result.

  • I know. I like online content as well. Some of the games I spent the most hours in (Warframe, Helldivers 2) are these kinds of games. But if a corpo lobbying group is forcing the choice between "Enshittified always online" or "never any online content ever anymore" I'll choose the latter.

  • You sold them your prints, didn't you? They're not allowed to claim any ownership over the art of your photography, but they still are owners of the print they bought.

  • I've heard this bullshit so many times...

    What we call "morality" is simply put to words those behaviours that has made us a successful species. We are a communal species, one of our greatest strengths being the delegation and specialisation of tasks; all working together. Everything we've built, everything we've achieved, can be attributed to that feature of our species.

    Now, imagine how far we'd get if every individual in our species acted "amorally".

    Morality is a product of evolution.

  • Produce more fuel than it consumed... I'm pretty sure that's breaking a law somewhere... And not the human kind...

  • Woaw, yeah, OK. I can understand why the mod was taken down.
