Updates generally don’t require settings resets. It can happen if there’s major changes but that’s the exception, not the norm. If Chrome updates revert settings to default with any degree of regularity (I actually don’t know if they do, I haven’t really touched Chrome in ten? years) that’s either gross incompetence or sheer malice.

Okay, fair enough, Fo76 was an unmitigated disaster. But what were you expecting from Starfield, exactly?

Honestly, I’m amazed by the hatedom for Starfield. It’s … a Bethesda game (and it’s actually better at being a Bethesda game than Fo4). I’m not sure what people seem to have expected?

Imagine having that little understanding of how and why people enjoy modding their games.

The engine is what allows the game to have a thriving modding community already.

I know it is, developers can block downloads unless the user is signed into a Steam account that owns the game. But as an end-user that’s distinction without difference.

That’s even worse though. Plenty of games (e.g. Stellaris and RimWorld) are also available on platforms like GOG or, ugh, Epic. But if you want to use mods and you bought the game on any platform other than Steam it’s fuck you.

Yeah, no. Death threats are acceptable in exactly the following circumstances:

That’s it. Nothing beyond that.

It’s probably still going to take some projects with it. If you’ve sunk hundreds or even thousands of manhours into a project you can’t just… do it again, or at least not always. Especially not if you’ve invested money as well as time, which is probably the case for most indie projects that aren’t literal one-person shows.

That assumes that everyone will be willing to have children with just about anyone, regardless of their personal opinion of them, and regardless of whether or not they even want children to begin with. You can’t selectively breed humans without massive human rights violations.

And yet somehow a mandate worked for seatbelts. The people who politicised basic safety measures between then and now have blood on their hands.

The difference is that the images AIs spit out are, well, real. Imagining someone naked doesn’t produce a potentially very convincing actual image that can be shared.

I do think that AI can’t really be effectively regulated (my fucking laptop can run Stable Diffusion), but that doesn’t mean that there’s no need for a debate.

I’m in Berlin too, born and raised. 5G is still twice as fast as any landline available in my building.

I have to use O2’s 5G (using a landline would be much slower) and there’s no data cap on it. Costs €35/month, around the same as a regular landline contract. I think they’d cry foul if I tried using that SIM in a phone though.

Almost certainly both. And people who made an account but who didn’t stick around.

Basically anything single-player from BioWare and Bethesda that’s not Mass Effect Andromeda.

Sony allows unlocking the bootloader on a lot of their devices. Except two new US-specific models, according to their site.
