A decent Diablo-like hack and slash with addictive gameplay for sure. If you get it on sale, it’s worth it if you like the genre. It does have some bad design decisions.

The bad: even when you’re not in a dungeon, the map is always pathways, not open. This plus no quest markers and only one travel gate open at a time means you do a lot of mindless looking around for stuff and painful backtracking. The procedural equipment drops are tedious though they can be filtered. Their naming conventions are overly-verbose and terrible. The soundtrack gets repetitive.

The good: the game’s skills and trees make sense and make you can feel pretty OP if you give it some effort and thought. The crafting is actually useful and you get a generous amount of storage (that can be upgraded to ridiculous levels). The lore is deep and if you’re into that, there’s a lot of it and it’s fairly original.

One successful launch and it will be up to $350. The stock market is illegitimate.

Oh look, capitalism trying to sell you something by calling it a solution to your problem. The problem that it created in the first place. This doesn’t seem familiar at all.

Oh I’m pretty certain none of their code is written by AI. If you read what he says carefully, he’s most impressed with how it can identify issues and guide the project to what needs attention. They’ve loudly complained about low-effort AI submissions previously, so AI code is not what he’s really talking about here.

AI is absolutely killer at issue identification and is getting better. He knows, as they all know, they won’t be able to survive without it going forward because if it can identify vulnerabilities for them it can identify vulnerabilities to anyone.

I’m guessing you wouldn’t like Alien: Isolation because it’s basically all hiding and strategically trying to outwit the alien… while hiding. But it’s fucking terrifying and very well-written.

I read this entire comment and I don’t regret it.

Worse than that, the printer I have, a Brother MFC-J895DW, actively eats its own ink on purpose (in the name of keeping it from drying out). Like most people, we print infrequently and I noticed that like every other time we would go to print we would be out of ink. After a bit of searching I found out this was a known thing and it was done on purpose.

I now turn the printer on to print and off when not printing. I haven’t bought ink in over a year. Yeah the print heads need to be conditioned if you go too long between prints, but so what.

Fuck the comment section on that site is cancer.

Well I can’t speak for the whole world but by my Windows usage dropped 100% from 2025 to 2026.

What a load of bullshit.

Edit: This post is irony.

Wow that’s impressive. The thing was built like a brick. I had one back in the day and had several games (all of which I downloaded and am running for the nostalgia hit).

One game I found I never knew existed is Tron 2.0. I can’t believe I never even heard of this game, I would have been all about it. The nice thing about the emulator is it has an upscaler and games in HD are absolutely dynamite, especially Tron 2.0.

Are we still sure that LHC didn’t break something when they found the higgs boson? Like sure sure?

I’m not, personally. LHC high-energy collisions timeline:

• Start of Main Program (at 7 TeV): March 30, 2010
• Run 2 (Upgraded to 13 TeV): Started in 2015
• Run 3 (Upgraded to 13.6 TeV): Started in 2022

To me, these dates all track to changes in… things. That’s probably crazy, I am probably just nuts. Which is lucky because:

• High-Luminosity (14 TeV with 10x collision capacity): 2030

I’m sure it will be fine.

tbh the wonders of the Feral PC Army include several groups writing console emulators. I am successfully running: Wii, Wii U, Switch, OG Xbox and PS3 emulators as we speak. I understand Xbox 360 and PS4 are also out there, but I haven’t got 'round to them yet.

Interestingly, a lot of media for these emulators is just kind of laying around on the internet for anybody to download.

Yeah it’s Luigi Mangione Fever sparking the class war, not the morbidly wealthy CEOs fucking us all off to die. Typical new MAGA MSM bullshit headline.

It’s more rigged than anybody wants to admit. It was down 500 today. It will be up 600 tomorrow.

Edit: And so shall I say it, and so shall it be true: +522.53 today, Jun 30, 2026

In the kangaroo court in which a mob ousted me, Wikipedia’s administrators showed that they don’t appear to value details like formal charges, a designated prosecutor, basic decorum, distinction between prosecution and judge, dispassionate adjudication, and so forth

These hypocrite fucks always rail off at the mouth about how abused they are… and it’s always just to get their foot in the door. Once they run the show, they rewrite history, dole out all the abuse they want and face zero repercussions. Intolerant shits that the rest of us simply must tolerate. Well go fuck yourself Larry Sanger. The world doesn’t need more right-wing bullshit.

I mostly used postgres in my work but we had one master server that had to be oracle for reasons so I took a class. The class mostly taught me that I wanted nothing to do with oracle.

Yes, that’s all true. I would temper that by saying if you can rig orders with front loading the way the book described ten years ago, the end game is not to make the market less predictable and more chaotic. The people architecting this stuff have now been working at it for over a decade.

The no more crashes thing is my own extrapolation based on my personal experience watching them control the price of stocks that were shorted to oblivion using dark pools and synthetics along with the sudden subsequent rise of crypto-capital. I am aware that this brings me into conspiracy territory, but I’m also aware that nothing that has happened since 2008 has done anything but reinforce the notion in my head.

Time will tell, I don’t mean to imply that no crashes is a given but I strongly suspect the entire market is price controlled using all these tools (AI, HFT, crypto, dark pools, synthetics) - and not just this market, but any market that allows these tools to be used.

Every time I say this I get this comment or one like it… since 2014. I invite you to save this thread and come back and make me feel like a complete moron when it happens. Eventually, I think everybody will come around.

Edit: I started to come to these conclusions when I read the book I mention above - it’s more than 10 years old now. I’m not alone in thinking these kinds of things, the book’s author does as well

The stock market doesn’t work like this anymore and hasn’t for several years… maybe decades. Share price is completely decoupled from fundamentals. The way you make money for shareholders is by getting the stock price to go up and what the actual company does or doesn’t do is not particularly a consideration anymore.

I go one step further and say that I personally believe the market itself is rigged, has been rigged since just after 2008. It is fully under control by dark pools, algorithms, HFT and AI. We will never again see an appreciable crash in the market, just things which vaguely resemble “normal” market action as the overall line continues to go ever upward.

The stock market is now fully a money-generating machine for the Epstein class. I have been saying this since about 2014 when I read Flash Boys by Michael Lewis and the Dow was at 18,103, Nasdaq 4,773. Even today with this news, the Dow is up currently 72 at 51,564 and the Nasdaq is up 496 at 26,517.
