deegeese,

Pretty sure I could balance 100g on a spoon if it’s the kind with emulsifiers.

deegeese,

Pixel Pirates?

deegeese,

Having comment history is what earns you the benefit of the doubt.

If you hide like a spammer you will get treated like one.

deegeese,

I could feel my grey beard growing long as I read that.

deegeese,

Magenta means you’ve been eating beets.

deegeese,

No, bees are yellow.

deegeese,

Can we give Putin a special award for expanding NATO?

deegeese,

In the future, Google Assistant can only be used for activities which can be monetized with ads.

eBay agreed to pay maximal possible fine of $3 million after employees harassed, intimidated, and stalked a Massachusetts couple in retaliation for their critical reporting of the online marketplace (arstechnica.com)

eBay’s harassment campaign against the couple, David and Ina Steiner, stretched for 18 days in August 2019 and was led by the company’s former senior director of safety and security, Jim Baugh. It started when then-CEO Devin Wenig and then-chief communications officer Steven Wymer decided to “take down” the Steiners...

deegeese,

If the defendant agreed to the maximum penalty, that tells you they’re being let off easy.

Criminal acts by companies should include fines large enough to make the shareholders mad, or else there was no real punishment.

deegeese,

Keeping my fingers crossed they eventually sand off the rough edges and turn it into a halfway decent Skyrim in Space.

deegeese,

People are just the worst.

deegeese,

If they shut down other people’s events I don’t feel so bad that someone shut down theirs.

deegeese,

MicroProse and Sierra Online were my faves

deegeese,

How hard is it to backup the save and restore after quitting?

deegeese,

Isn’t that what we’re discussing? How to save scum “honor”.

deegeese,

This is a tempest in a teapot.

Steam ended pricing in those currencies and reverted the prices to USD without local adjustment.

Any developers who want to sell in Turkey or Argentina will set a local price in USD.

This really only affects older/abandoned games where the developer never updates pricing. Those games will be left charging US prices in poorer countries.

deegeese,

Project Highrise was like $3.60

deegeese,

Good grief.

Like reading 10 pages that Milkshake duck is racist.

Internet providers say the FCC should not investigate broadband prices (arstechnica.com)

Internet service providers and their lobby groups are fighting a US plan to prohibit discrimination in access to broadband services. In particular, ISPs want the Federal Communications Commission to drop the plan’s proposal to require that prices charged to consumers be non-discriminatory.

deegeese,

In other news, robbers say cops should not investigate robberies.

deegeese,

Well, yes, that is a pretty accurate description of regulatory capture of the FCC by telecom companies.

deegeese,

LOL it’s much easier to block one moron.

deegeese,

So f’ing mad at Apple for forcing Firefox to use Apple’s WebKit on mobile instead of Gecko.

A monopolist corporation standing in the way of security sounds like Microsoft forcing everyone to use IE, but worse because of the walled garden that is iOS.

How to get into the habit of cooking >1 portions?

I always cook for myself alone which means I’m used to cooking just one portion, or 2 portions which I end up eating in one sitting anyway. I usually improvise my meals and my brain just seems hardwired to measure quantities for a single portion meal. Does anyone have any tips for scailing your cooking up to cook for groups?

deegeese,

Besides just doubling or quadrupling the recipe? Can’t you make 4x as much and plate 4 portions before digging in?

If you can’t improvise a larger quantity, work off a written recipe until you retrain your sense of portions.

deegeese,

Vegan baking sounds like one handed boxing.

deegeese,

Should I be multiclassing Astarion?

deegeese,

Oof, was hoping for the best but this confirms my worst fears of a shitty Stellaris reskinning.

deegeese,

Dude, we do big data every day at work. We just call it data engineering because why call it big if everything is big?

deegeese,

You’re missing the point that if Apple had just given it to VESA, it would have become the de-facto standard instead of DVI because other companies would rather reuse ADC than design DVI from scratch.

deegeese,

As a consumer, would have been pretty cool if DVI carried USB too.

Instead, almost every monitor bundles a USB hub that needs an extra cable. Not sure how that saved manufacturers money.

deegeese,

They said FO4 was shitty, not that it lost money

Looks like Starfield is more of the same.

deegeese,

The issue is that those previous promises were for a very short support window, and Google has a terrible track record for any sort of long term support.

Google supports Pixel? Sure.

Google supports anything for 7 years? Doubtful.

deegeese,

Public event cancelled due to death threats from Unity employee to Unity Corporate.

Maybe a sympathy ploy for good PR and to give an excuse to cancel a town hall that would have gone badly.

The next Sims game will be free-to-play with paid DLC (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

The next Sims game currently goes under the name Project Rene rather than The Sims 5, but that aside, we know a growing amount about EA Maxis' next social simulation. During today's latest Behind The Sims community update, they shared more, including the news that the next entry in the series would be free-to-play and without...

deegeese,

Free To Play means gameplay value has been deliberately sabotaged to create paywalls.

Instead of paying once and enjoying, you get nickled and dimed which sucks all the joy out of a game.

deegeese,

You don’t have to use our advertising service. In unrelated news, we’re raising prices for everyone not using our advertising service.

deegeese,

The strength of consoles as a development target is that there is only a single hardware configuration you need to support.

Microsoft squandering that advantage in order to hit a lower price point was a gift to Sony that will keep on giving.

deegeese,

Cyberpunk 2077 was a far bigger mess on Xbox-S.

Not the first time a game fell flat on an underpowered console.

deegeese,

Are the results available in a table somewhere so I don’t need to watch a damn video?

deegeese,

Kinda reminds me of Tamagotchis that go to sleep at night so you can’t stay up playing with it.
