Does the creative commons licence at the end of every comment really do anything? Are you going to do anything about it if someone doesn’t respect the permissions you’ve laid out?
It should be fine. You’ll have to be thorough in removing personal information. I would prioritise giving it to someone I know rather than a complete stranger.
Everyone else seems to be very concerned about the terms of service, but I don’t know why ToS is of utmost importance to everyone suddenly. Anyone would gladly share their streaming service passwords, would previously rip CDs or DVDs, use VPNs to circumvent porn restriction laws in their country, lied in sites/apps to sign up as a teen, etc…suddenly Steam ToS is somehow sacrosanct.
This came up recently when Steam confirmed your account cannot be left to anyone else when you die. The conclusion everyone seems to mention there is: if you leave your username and password in your will, how would Steam ever know or enforce this?
When you spend a sufficient amount of time in a community, the inside jokes became more and more obtuse. A lot of jokes will be derivative of some derivative of a derivative of a joke. Logically explaining a joke will never be funny.
This happens with my wife all the time, I show her a meme and she doesn’t get it. When I start explaining it, it becomes clear you need to have seen the evolution of a number of bits of media to put together into this “3rd level derivative” joke.
So in conclusion, yeah this joke might never be funny for you. The link might give you a logical explanation to understand in the future. Just accept it’s an inside joke that’s not for you, and that’s ok.
Yes it is an ultra minimalist version of the comic. Part of the inside joke is hiding “loss” in a number of other seemingly unrelated posts which people find amusing to be “fooled” into not recognising. It is like Rick-Rolling someone…what’s so funny about a Rick Asterley song? It has just become an inside joke about a bait and switch.

Stories like this have been posted every so often to reddit. I’ll believe this is possible when I see it available in consumer electronics (and not just lab conditions).
Hollow Knight is the greatest game of all time for me. I replayed it recently and it was such a different experience for me to move through confidently and quickly when I had a grasp of combat from the beginning. It took me months to finish it the first time because of getting lost and not knowing where to go next.
Some generic (no spoiler) tips:
go in another direction and come back to the boss later if that’s possible. If a boss is way too difficult then there may be an upgrade you haven’t gotten yet.
take your time. It is more important to save your health rather than rushing to get a hit in. Sometimes it’s worth going to a boss and not hitting him at all and just focus on learning movement, patterns and figuring out where the openings are.
play around with your charms and get the best setup you need to help with the boss fight.
try to avoid attacks by running into the gap in projectiles rather than relying on dashes all the time.
if you’re coming to thinking of quitting the game based on difficulty, then there’s no shame in watching a boss guide video on YouTube. Or space it out with a secondary game so you can play something else and come back later.
I picked up Star Wars Rogue Squadron and it has been great fun and very nostalgic to play on the Steam Deck. I was looking for a modern alternative and picked up Everspace, which I like, but am finding it incredibly difficult to get good at so far.
Possibly. The very early part of the game is linear. Very quickly in this game you’ll find it impossible to look up a guide because it is so non-linear, and it is really difficult to judge where you are in the game because you might have done things in a completely different order. Generally, early bosses just take a bit of practice and pattern recognition, and tend not to be reliant on upgrades.
This is affecting many PC gamers around the world, such as myself, as the last 3 PlayStation releases on Steam have been blocked in many countries. I wanna know what’s your take on this. Please be respectful, and thank you. 😊
The fact that they do shitty things like this will male me ignore their games or wait for a crack. I ignore most EA games as well or anything that has another launcher/account forced on you.
Ultimately my main issue isnt that the company is doing shit things. The issue is that they don’t have to care because people will keep paying them money regardless and our opinions/objections mostly go unnoticed and inconsequential. Although public backlash did help the Helldivers 2 situation.
I’m sick of Windows, and especially what it’s become, and the way its trending looks like it will only get worse. I’ll be building a brand new PC this summer and want to choose a Linux Distro instead. In preparation, I’d like to try out a virtual machine with a Linux distribution. I am solidly familiar with Ubuntu, but I...
There’s the distro chooser website, but that might be a bit basic for the amount of experience you have: distrochooser.de
I jumped to Linux as a tech savy, Linux beginner and went through a bunch of distros before settling on Opensuse Tumbleweed, and it has been great. Fedora gets mentioned a lot as well but I never got round to trying that. If I were to choose today with a bit more Linux experience, I might choose Endeavour OS.
My understanding is that as far as gaming goes, some distros have some pre-intsalled conveniences, but you could game on any Linux flavour. If it’s just going to be Steam games, then Steam handles Proton and game compatibility itself. It might be worth looking up things like GPU and peripherals compatibility.
Stunlock made Bloodline Champions, the best game of all time for me. Then that died.
Then they made the next best thing, Battlerite. And then that died.
I’m hesitant to pick this up in case I really like it and it doesn’t live long enough for me to get my fill. I’ll wait and see what the player base looks like in a few months.
It’s an amazing console, but the shortcomings you’ve mentioned are legit. When I got my Switch, I immediately ordered the Hori Split Pad. Then I threw the Joycons in a drawer and never looked at them again. A large capacity SD card is mandatory and is so cheap, I don’t consider that a big deal.
Online subscription shit is just console bullshit that I won’t pay on principle.
All the reasons you’ve mentioned have been sorted with a Steam Deck, and I haven’t ever picked up my Switch from the day my Deck arrived.
I grew up hearing all the talking heads (media), religious groups and parents strongly criticizing video games. You’ve, probably, heard some of this. For example, video games involving any type of violence causing people to become more violent, etc. As far as I know, the academic community has failed to produce any negative...
A lovely story. Ive had a brilliant experience myself with my 4 year old neurodiverse son who took great comfort in playing Ori and the Blind Forest, and finished the game himself and found all the secret areas I couldn’t.
Then at 5, he watched me play Super Hexagon and wanted to play that. He’s gotten to the hardest level and asks for my help, but he’s beyond my skill level.
As far as the argument against the issue you mentionrd, the logical argument was complete in the first paragraph:
the academic community has failed to produce any negative relationship between video games and real life.
This is more ergonomic and precise compared to a stick. It’s completely down to personal preference, but this layout is getting a lot more popular. Fight sticks have been popular because of oldschool arcade machines and historical inertia, but designs are branching out now (see “mixboxes”, keyboard users and all sorts of custom layouts online).
I got buttons from here. The small buttons are 24mm, the big ones are 30mm.
I wouldn’t recommend these for a mouse. These buttons don’t give much tactile feedback and don’t feel particularly crisp. They are nice prominent buttons for bashing in this context for fighting games.
I’m using a R.Pi with GP2040-CE firmware. It doesn’t work with PS5, but I have a Brooke USB convertor (that’s just for local events, I only have a PC at home). I used to have the Brooke convertor embedded inside the hitbox but that gave trou le with my Linux PC at home.
Let me know if you need help with the process. If you don’t have woodworking g experience there’s still a very easy way to make this yourself (with some tools).
Whatever you want. I’ve got drive impact on left thumb. Middle white button is start and pinky white button is unassigned currently (but Daigo uses this for drive impact)
I sold my laptop and used my Steam Deck exclusively as my PC for a month before I collected all the parts for my new PC. If you’re going to use it for gaming then it makes an excellent multiple use device.
I previously posted my custom layout keyboard which I use at home. I got fed up of the different layout at work so I made the same thing to have consistency. Really happy with the result. I’m trying to set up macros now to make annoying tasks at work faster....
Split space bar was mostly the point of this (and also split backspace, split right shift and an added key at the bottom right). I only ever use my right thumb for space so the left key is backspace and the middle key is an additional function layer.
Snagged a hybrid role in commercial lending and my old Das Keyboard I was using at home had some broken switches (including the numpad + which I need frequently). Used some of my cashed out vacation time from leaving my old job to make the upgrade....
Been thinking of doing this for over a year and finally got round to it. Found parts. Spent hours soldering, lubricating, stuffing with foam and programming QMK. So happy with the final result. It’s a joy to use....
The great thing about it is you can make it whatever you want it to be. For me it is: left is backspace, middle is to access another layer (which makes left home row letters into direction buttons and right home row letters into number buttons), right button is space.
I’m not home to post a picture, but it would be clearer if I could show you a screenshot of the layout. Basically this means I only ever have to move my hands away from home row to press enter or special symbols.
I’m still figuring out QMK/Vial. What I actually want to do is use right shift as “up” is tapped and “shift” if held down. I can do that with auto hot key, but haven’t figured out how to do it yet with QMK.
If anyone is able to help ELI5 how to add tapdancing and combos to QMK vial forked firmware that would help a lot.
