I think it's a miracle that we found a way to get humans to cooperate whatsoever. It's fragile but by assuming everyone is fundamentally self-interested then it just about works.

Other systems assume a higher degree of altruism than humans actually have. Paradoxically this leads to more corruption in those systems, like endemic corruption in communist countries once some people start to play the system.

Capitalism facilitates cooperation but with an underlying game theory assumption of self interest holding it all together.

It depends if you can get your Going Into Games Machine working again

Superb game so far. Seems like a steal for £18 in the UK given how much content there is. I love retro games so this is right up my street.

Sounds like a healthy use of your time

Regardless of the drug, someone who isn't a medical professional shouldn't be mailing it to children.

Keffals has a bit of a bad stink around her online presence. I think she claimed to be posting sex hormones to underage people at one point, without any kind of medical license. One of the ecelebs on the weirder side of the terminally online subculture.

Obviously no one should ever be swatted. Wanted to mention that she is somewhat controversial though as opposed to a regular activist.

I mean, there were riots last month and then the last time I recall riots before then was 2019 when the journalist was shot. There might be more inbetween I've forgotten but a cadence of 5 years is more than the ~10 year cadence for mainland UK (which is culturally very similar). Sectarian tensions have died down in the past 20 years - my sister is currently in Belfast and loving it - but they still exist and have deep roots.

There's a dumb Italian Horror movie called Del Amore d'ella Muerte (Cemetary Man in English speaking territories) that I absolutely love. It was made in the 90s and stars Rupert Everrit as a graveyard keeper who fights a zombie invasion with his mute assistant.

Hard to explain but the universe they create is very comfy where he's drinking red wine and shooting zombies.

Yeah there are some absolute gems like Astral Chain which got positive reviews like 8/10 but in reality are close to 10/10 for me personally. One of the best games on the system.

Then there are a few infamous examples like Godhand and Deadly Premonition which were completely slated by many reviewers but I found to be very strong titles. 8/10 personally.

I was trying to write a custom Strategy for an objectMapper in Java. Foolishly decided to ask ChatGPT about it and got instructions which suggested an implementation that was the inverse of how Strategies actually work. Stuck for an afternoon.

Then in the evening I read the docs and put it together in half an hour from scratch. Lesson learned about the stochastic parrots.

Would 2nd this suggestion. It is also often possible to swap to using the arch repos after you've got the install setup and you are happy with it on these distros.

 

Playing Hellblade 2 at the moment myself. Personally I'm fortunate not to need any of the accessibility features but I found this review to be a fascinating read.

The reviewer also compares the accessibility options to some other recent AAA releases in this reddit comment.

In terms of my opinion of the game: I've only got the Series S version so it's not the full fat graphics but even then they are stunning. I think some of the negative reviews were from people wanting it to be a different type of game, however, if you are aware it is basically a walking simulator with Punchout combat every so often then the story and world takes centre stage. The world is similar to God of War (2018) but grittier and focusing on other aspects of Scandi mythology. I think I like this world more.

 

Careful with this one, it's an antique
