😂

all I’m sayin’ is it’s kinda silly to call the Steam Controller a new product like the other two

Valve can indeed count to three.

…

Steam controller

New

(X) doubt

It looks to me like the cat would have to be stuffed into the pocket, so there’s that. There might be an opening on the other end to crawl through though.

Just let me boil the holy water

*Amazon’s cums

They always reminded me of paper snowflakes and I genuinely can’t recall ever having a name for them… Maybe “people streamer” is what I would say if I ever had to describe them. Even that phrase feels made up on the spot lol

So uh, happy… anniversary… I guess?

Was gonna say “not anymore” to keep the joke going, but if you think about it, it’s created as one and was never multiple to begin with. Huh, maybe we’ve needed to human centi-sleeve for the good of human unity all along??

Pure math, finite automata, math rock, analog synthesis, knitting (in my demographic), video games from before we knew modern UI and game design… to be fair, none of these communities are non-existent, but they’re pretty niche even among my weirdo friends.

Exactly. We’re already bootstrapping, re-tooling, and improving the entire process of development to the best of our collective ability. Constantly. All through good, old fashioned, classical system design.

Like you said, a lot of people don’t even put that to use, and they remain very effective. Yet a tiny speck of AI tech and its marketing is convincing people we’re about to either become gods or be usurped.

It’s like we took decades of technical knowledge and abstraction from our Computing Canon and said “What if we didn’t use that anymore?”

I’m honestly doubting it will get there someday, at least with the current use of LLMs. There just isn’t true comprehension in them, no space for consideration in any novel dimension. If it takes incredible resources for companies to achieve sometimes-kinda-not-dogshit, I think we might need a new paradigm.

Niche mechanics are my jam. My favorites usually revolve around unique economies or structures that create their own depth of play.

I love genre benders and sandboxy stuff. I’d like to see something like Chaos Seed (SNES) built on or re-imagined, dwarf fortress is great for tinker-ability, and I always liked how Nethack has some deeply designed interactions even if they can seem superficial or esoteric. FFXII with the gambit and realtime-ish combat systems was always a standout too.

Was about to bring up the pagers cause that’s literal state sanctioned terrorism any way you look at it. It’s still surprisingly unsurprising that we’re cool with it.

Neat project! Kind of makes me think Habbo + Warioware or something. This is on another level entirely, but multiplayer and player-made minigames/content would make an interesting roblox-like.

Lmao I have and just forgot about it apparently

The epic store integration in Lutris never worked for me, so I end up using both lol

It’s the car culture I tell ya

I didn’t know lutris had that! I just wish it had an aggregate view of all libraries without games being installed. It seems to be the best for managing a diverse library, but I miss playnite sometimes.

I’d guess it’s to point out the fact that it’s developed under the guise of social liberty, but it isn’t a well defined term. Conservatives and neoliberals alike regard the views as liberal in America for some reason. In my mind the word helps distinguish it from liberal ideology by tacking on a modifier that can’t be equated to liberalism per se.
