OC finished their comment with “call me crazy” lmao

It’s not UI backsliding. It’s Microsoft being incompetent. I have no idea how they’re still in business, and astounded at their valuation. It seems like everything they manage to push out is just barely functioning

Also, even if it was permanent, it would still be something like a permanently_removed set to TRUE in a database. License keys probably are one of those things no company truly ever deletes from their records.

Maybe why I’m not interested, I have no back catalog of games to play on PS, coming from PC gaming

Is any game worth getting a ps5, let alone a premium version? The catalog is so anemic, it’s mostly ps4 games, the only game that would interest me would be TLOU1 remake… but I got it on PC anyway

so to get AI generated CSAM…it had to have been fed some amount of CSAM

No actually, it can combine concepts that aren’t present together in the dataset. Does it know what a child looks like? Does it know what porn looks like? Then it can generate child porn without having ever had CSAM in its dataset. See the corn dog comment as an argument

That’s because “firefox” (or “chrome” too) on apple products is just a reskin of Safari. Apple does not allow 3rd party browser engines in its app store.

That’s because 3rd party browser engines might not suck ass, which would allow OWA apps in your browser whcih would circumvent Apple’s 30% cut on everything. So they kneecap their own browser and don’t allow any other browser on their devices.

They did not save any lives, that is a completely made up invention. In fact Imperial Japan cared little about the atomic bomb, and even if a land invasion had become necessary, the USA had made a deal with the USSR to invade on land.

This was the real reason for the bombings, not to beat Japan into submission, which Roosevelt’s deal with the USSR for a land invasion ensured, but to show the USSR the destructive power the US held. Truman was a staunch anticommunist, and refused to let the USSR play the part Roosevelt negociated in a land invasion.

It was a war crime with no benefits at all except to show off to the USSR, who would develop nukes themselves 4 years later anyway. An absolute tragedy which proved to be entirely useless.

I’m under 30, I have no idea what winamp is but I figured it’s some music software from the skins’ pics. I imagine it was popular for it to have a museum thing about user created skins

(I haven’t googled anything yet)

I highly doubt the operating hours of this ball of decadence match the time when solar power peaks

AI has been determined to be legal and transformative enough for copyright law already

Accessibility is an extremely important topic and Elden Ring could absolutely be better in that aspect.

Difficulty, however, is unrelated to accessibility. Disabled people should be able to play difficult games – that’s what accessibility is about, letting people with disabilities experience the same content as everyone.

No. The Souls community is built over the shared experience of beating the challenging game we were put against. If difficulty was optional, the game wouldn’t be nearly as popular, as there wouldn’t be that common experience.

Maybe another shared experience would have allowed the game to garner a community, but then it wouldn’t be a soulslike, and soulslike as a concept would not exist. If that’s something that interests you, you can just play a game which isn’t a soulslike.

It reminds me of some Redditor who said they always instantly killed every single named companion in BG3 because they found the dialogues of said companions annoying. I have played BG3 for hundred of hours, but I don’t even think I played the same game as this person, and I think that if it was something a lot of people did, then there wouldn’t be a community around the game at all.

Like for BG3, where the central point is the story and the evolution of your companion as characters, Elden Ring’s has that defining element which caused the community to sprout, which is its fair but strict gameplay. If you remove that then all you get is one of those forgettable Ubisoft games, all the while completely destroying the community around soulslikes.

I’m extrapolating so I might be wrong, but what I get from this is that they boosted the benefits of the first scadu fragments but nerfed the benefits of the later ones, which is just changing the scaling but ultimately results in the same difficulty

Damn that must have been traumatic. I hope all goes well for him

I don’t know, that’s too many inputs which is a trap that I feel console games easily fall for nowadays. Having to long press is already kind of annoying, adding another input layer with a wheel would make it worse imo

You can long-press d-pad down to reset the inventory belt to the first item, same thing with the spells on d-pad up

Difficulty is not an accessibility issue.
