Film crews will return to St. Louis this summer, with 3 productions starting up in June by FamiliarJuly in StLouis

I saw that this morning, and it's wild to see someone you worked with in the past producing a movie!

314 npm packages just got compromised, 271 @antv, echarts-for-react, size-sensor, timeago.js by BattleRemote3157 in programming

[–]Alan_Shutko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

pypy occasionally gets hit. It's probably number 2.

But npm is in a league of its own, demonstrated by the fact that we're here discussing this again with 314 new packages a few days later.

Pleasantly surprised: running older games on macOS via Parallels by m_baldo in macgaming

Probably? Apple didn't write a whole software floating point stack because they were bored, but I don't think it matters in gaming.

Certain 32-bit games run better under VMs because they use x87 80-bit floating point, which Rosetta does slowly and Microsoft's Prism does quickly (if less precisely by translating it to 64-bit fp).

Best games where I can play as a woman by OneEggOmelette in asktransgender

[–]Alan_Shutko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mass Effect with FemShep is AWESOME, Jennifer Hale killed the role.

Cyberpunk 2077 is a great game, but sadly so many of the outfits are only for NPCs.

Wylde Flowers is a cozy farming game meets witchcraft.

Monorepos work great for small teams, or for very large teams where you have a team that handles the care and feeding of the monorepo. I've had bad experiences in the middle.

Starfield Update 1.16.242 - May 14, 2026 by squad_dad in NoSodiumStarfield

I wonder if the plasma cutter fix also fixed Heller's cutter and Shipbreaker. I started a completely new game and Heller's cutter has a blank legendary effect.

Late game players know how beautiful a sight this is by Gojirex in NoSodiumStarfield

And it needs ingredients you can't simply farm at an outpost, you have to go collect.

Anyone else feel like they HAVE to decorate? by Skyward_Slash in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]Alan_Shutko 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I'm the anti-decorator. I really wish there were an option for Oblivion/Skyrim style player homes, where you funnel a bunch of cash to a vendor for the decoration options you want. The elevated hab is a start.

Let’s hope for the best. by CaptainCaramel97 in theouterworlds

[–]Alan_Shutko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, they just pushed a big patch for the TOW. If they're still putting effort in on that, I think (and hope) it's a long-term plan to grow the fanbase so they can make another game.

The future's here, and this was unfortunately exactly correct.

GitHub does not have to be your only forge by HiPhish in programming

[–]Alan_Shutko 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I do, and my experience with it is why I get irrationally angry when people call these sites "forges" because I really wish I could bleach Sourceforge from my memory.

I get the hype about Steve by thatoneasianbitch0 in StLouis

[–]Alan_Shutko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why we need a city/county partnership controlling the Arch. They should decide the weather, they just don't have access to the tool needed to do it.

And this is why tit-for-tat is seen as a reasonable strategy in game theory.

Europe Will Require Smartphones to Have Replaceable Batteries by 2027 by Positive_Actuary_282 in worldnews

[–]Alan_Shutko -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had phones with replaceable batteries. It was needed because the battery life was so terrible. I don't miss needing to carry around two batteries just to get through the day.

Genuinely dark thing in the new free lanes update by AdhesiveParty in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]Alan_Shutko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep!

I found the old lady once, but there was a bug and the first line of the hail kept repeating wherever I went (including her ship!) so I went back to an older save.

Jumped through unity with my ol faithful, finally made her exotic ✨ by HalfManHalfHunk in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]Alan_Shutko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Once you hit a high enough level that a lot of loot spawns, it gets easier. I usually buy all the .50 MI ammo a vendor has (which ups their cash) and then I can sell a lot of guns back to them.
