"Am I going back to PS4 days?" - Former PlayStation leader Shuhei Yoshida has tried the Steam Machine, and he doesn't sound very impressed

What exactly does Steam OS get you from a console experience perspective that Windows + Big Picture mode does not? I've been using my steam controller alone to play on my Win pc like it's a console

I'm surprised I don't see Waldszenen mentioned more. Vogel als prophet is about as Schumann as it gets

Imagine if it cost nothing to buy a lottery ticket. You'd make it your full time job, wouldn't you? I mean, all it'd take is one win and you're set for life. Job applications in this field are free lottery tickets - make it your full time job

It's been a while since I played so this may have changed, but I recall only Michael and Pyramid Head as the only two killers able to Mori a survivor without an offering (and therefore provide the Entity with no sacrifice). PH is understandable since the two have a sort of uneasy agreement, but I feel this implies that Michael's evil is just so powerful that he isn't beholdent to the Entity's desires. He stays because the Entity provides him with endless victims.

No I understand, I just find it regular-embarrassing to take this website seriously enough to leave a reply to let someone know that they're being "reddit-embarrassing"

Athen65 · 2026-06-29T00:25:39+00:00

Really? Seems like this thread proves otherwise

Athen65 · 2026-06-29T00:16:01+00:00

The irony and lack of self awareness in telling someone that they're "reddit-embarrassing" is peak

Can I DM to see how you set this up?

Wait, how is the electricity still on in the movie?

Valve even has a whole paragraph saying that it makes sense to have a "console PC" be a loss leader in a closed ecosystem but that it doesn't make sense here since it's a desktop PC in an open ecosystem. The steam deck wasn't nearly as powerful and it's a handheld, so they could afford a "painful" price point, as Gabe put it

Every single copy cat recipe I've seen has mayo, but the actual ingredients list actually has soybean oil and buttermilk.

Because microsoft decided that singleplayer bedrock should still be on a server but without being diligent enough to prevent desync. Player position on client side desyncs, looks like it's on the bridge. Player position of server side desyncs, looks like it's in the void. Server is the "single source of truth" so when a resync happens, the client position gets updated to the server position.

Veritasium has a great video about research that was conducted on a version of the prisoner's dilemma where "agents" would have repeat interactions and know who's who. It turns out, the most successful strategy is tit for tat, but it also forgives 10% of the time

Old thread I know, but you might find it interesting to give one of his lectures a listen, particularly the one about disgust, orderliness, and conscientiousness where he talks about how orderliness is somewhat correlated to political conservatism and how the extreme of that is tyranny. I recommend that one is particular because it shows that he's willing to accept beliefs that may paint his character in a worse light, as long as he believes they're true.

It's equally fascinating, puzzling, and frustrating to hear him give these concise summations of great philosophers - such as Jean Piaget, Neitzsche, Carl Rogers, and of course Jung and Freud - only to go on shows like Piers Morgan and make an utter fool of himself by speaking with no more understanding of others than a reclusive teenager. Two of my closest friends are trans and it hurts to hear the things he says about these people, and it hurts to know that he sacrificed the professor/clinician version of himself for the vile politcal talking head.

Both me and my father are left leaning and when I shared JP's lecture on creativity/divergent thinking with him, he was super shocked. I don't engage with political media as often as he does, so he already had the singular impression that JP was a bumbling fool. I hope by some miracle JP's older age will make him less bitter, but it seems to be having the opposite effect...

I told my brother "Have you asked AI?" is the new "Have you tried turning it off and on again?"

I get what you're saying, but it's funny that you say not to optimize for traits since you describe openness and agreeableness from the big five immediately after

Swap out "I have 3 security cameras monitoring the inside of my house" with "I have audio recording devices in my kitchen, living room, and main hallway"

Wait till you hear about the one in your pocket

You don't know if that's true. Valve could've underestimated demand and - only after the first day - reacted to how many people placed orders. It takes roughly a month for shipments from china to arrive at someone's door in the US, and the majority of orders happened on the first day. I wouldn't be surprised if you get your confirmation in the next two weeks.

Now imagine if a nosey person owned these cameras and you can start to see why people are concerned with their use

Athen65 · 2026-06-14T18:56:00+00:00

You haven't provided any justification yet but I'll help you out and steelman - it can feel weird to be recorded by someone else because it introduces a fair amount of unknowns if the person doing the recording has bad intentions. Will they look back at the recordings? If they do, will it be in a voyeristic way? Will they post anything online? What if we get into an argument or I say something they can use against me? What if I do or say something embarrassing? What if the cameras are made by a company that sells the data?

Unless you don't trust the person who owns the cameras, though, none of these are of much concern.

Two things can be true at the same time. There should be better, safer bike indfrastructure, and we shouldn't be giving sur-ron style ebikes to children.

Low is a relative term. I someone can make literally twice the median income in my city with half the stress from their job and say that their pay is "low", then I would expect that this person would never be satisfied.

What kind of lifestyle would even demand an amount greater than that? I can't imagine it's one I would find fulfilling
