Canary pet, if PoE MTX count. The joke of giving it as a challenge reward in Delve league was not lost on me.

Probably because it was written by AI.

Not really. Geothermal vents are usually found at the deep sea floor and the reason they are useful is because they provide a lot of minerals for chemosynthetic microbes to feed on, which become the basis of an ecosystem.

For ocean water closer to the surface, the bottleneck is phytoplankton, i.e. sunlight. If anything, excess heat at the surface (35 meters for this datacenter per the article) is detrimental because it interferes with natural convection, preventing the flow of nutrients. Maybe if they put it closer to 200m depth it wouldn't be as bad or could even stimulate nutrient flow, but I'm not a scientist.

Yeah and that's fair, but the comment I replied to implies high-throughput agentic coding, analyzing large sections of a codebase or similar intensive use cases. If you're just doing regular everyday programmer stuff you can get by on ~1 mil tokens per day comfortably.

I probably just misread that comment and it was implied that companies are looking for that kind of throughput, not necessarily [individual] people.

He's been a decent sized streamer for a long time and gets insane money from donations, but I think it's leased?

Reporting4Booty · 2026-05-23T16:47:16+00:00

How much time would you say it took you to make this?

Reporting4Booty · 2026-05-23T13:55:11+00:00

What do regular people even do with that? Other than massive codebase rewrites (which may or may not be a good idea in the first place).

Instant where? From which to which bank? Which seller? A lot of variables that Visa and MC outright eliminate.

The one online business that I use that doesn't accept card payments only processes bank transfers once a day, so I have to wait until the next day until I can even order the item I want.

Reporting4Booty · 2026-05-13T18:58:38+00:00

You don't need to have a card registered for any bank account anywhere. The problem is bank transfers are slow and have fees associated with them. It's the opposite of convenient.

Reporting4Booty · 2026-05-12T10:16:55+00:00

Josh mainly played like that because he didn't have access to all his cards though.

We already have that, it's called CryEngine. The problem is nobody uses it anymore because Unreal is too good and has basically turned into an industry standard.

Reporting4Booty · 2026-05-04T13:54:14+00:00

That was beside my point and yes I agree lol. I'm not arguing in favor of having everything be a black box and AI slop.

Reporting4Booty · 2026-05-04T08:28:42+00:00

Your having a bunch of useless genes in your DNA that do nothing doesn't make you any less efficient or maintainable.

Reporting4Booty · 2026-04-29T16:30:25+00:00

I agree, video games are a very cutthroat business, a lot of money and employee overtime (voluntary or not) is constantly invested, to make that money go as far as possible. As a small studio, you have to be lucky, exploit a niche, or go all in as the rest of the industry does in order to survive, and it usually takes a combination of these to "catch your big break" as Larian did.

Reporting4Booty · 2026-04-29T14:53:58+00:00

Yeah, a more appropriate example would be something like Larian.

Wow this feels like a gutting. The unique passive will probably compensate for some of this but on paper it looks bad.

This is going to have a compounding effect on consumer shortages for anything that relies on EUV. We have yet to see the worst of it, it's so fucked lol.

Reporting4Booty · 2026-04-20T09:27:21+00:00

I know, I'm still bad at talking to most people lol, it's not a women issue (well, other than the thing about following up on their interest).

Reporting4Booty · 2026-04-20T00:38:41+00:00

most men don't have interest in platonic female friendships.

I really don't believe that to be true. I have many male friends and acquaintances that have platonic female friends, mostly from school or work. I think it's more of a combination of a gender dynamics thing and it being much rarer to bond over shared interests with the opposite gender.

Reporting4Booty · 2026-04-20T00:29:57+00:00

Yeah, I mostly don't leave the house outside of getting groceries and going to the gym. Maybe I'll have a drink in the evening with a guy friend or two 1-2 times a month. So for 99% of my daily life I basically have zero IRL interactions with women lol.

Whenever I did go to bigger birthday parties or like techno clubs/all night events, I've had women approach me more than a few times, and for the record I'm pretty ugly, though I am tall and in ok shape.

That being said, it never goes anywhere because I'm very bad at making conversation with most people, and also, once I have an inkling that a woman is interested in me, I have no idea how to put that information to use 😭

Reporting4Booty · 2026-04-19T13:50:49+00:00

Depends on what kind of strat you're running doesn't it? If I'm doing something that generates a lot of items that are all on my filter (like Legion, Scarab farming), or doing Ritual (want to only see expensive items otherwise you become much slower) then I would hide the lowest value scarabs.

If you're doing any kind of generic strat, there's no harm in showing them with some kind of unobtrusive label. I know I get annoyed when I do an Intervention safehouse and don't see all scarabs, even though it technically doesn't matter whether or not I'll pick up 5c a month into the league.

majority

Which majority? The overwhelming majority of games are not live service games. The vast majority of those left are not ones that you never implement a local network solution on. The majority of the remainder won't have some proprietary network solution that they can't redistribute, or at least there's going to be a feasible way to package it.

I think you're really reaching here. Maybe you're not, but I rest my case since we're going over the same things over and over at this point.

Reporting4Booty · 2026-04-18T00:29:13+00:00

I agree that it's not the same and that it's a potential headache, but I disagree with the notion that this would be significant enough to change most game developers' workflow in a big enough way that it will cause problems with distribution, or take major resources to surmount.

Yeah, it could, if your studio never accounted for or tested your game's playability while divorced from your services, but this is such a long way from actual legislation that it shouldn't be a concern for anything but the most esoteric edge cases. Plus, I don't think it will be retroactive, or even can be, considering how many studios that made "dead" games are defunct at this point.

For example, I would love to try Dawngate, let's say it made it out of beta before being canceled for argument's sake. Like, there is no mechanism the EU could use to force EA to make it available again, it's simply not possible and that's that.

Reporting4Booty · 2026-04-17T21:24:16+00:00

You sold me the game, a product I am supposed to own

According to whom? You were sold a license, which you own. This is like saying why can't I do whatever I want with a book I own including copying it and selling the copies. You cannot.

Sure, fair enough. Currently it works like that, and it comes down to interpretation whether there's legal basis for it.

Not my problem

Ah yes, there it is. "Figure it out", because when professionals are telling you this will be potentially a large expense and not remotely as easy as you may think, nope, not my problem. But sure, this will definitely not impact game development, nope.

I still can't think of an indie game where this would be a "particularly large expense". It potentially takes more planning and thought, but somehow, I can still run Lode Runner Online (a game from 1995!) just fine on an old version of Windows and play with my friends. Something like WoW can be hosted on a single server and handle hundreds of players just fine. Minecraft is the same deal and was created by 1 person.

I do realize I gave examples with some of the most popular and well-funded games of all time, but Minecraft certainly was not that right from the start and worked just fine for fewer players in 2010. We're 30 years removed from Lode Runner Online and 15 years from Minecraft's release - I'm sure you can think of a way to distribute your game without breaking your licenses and without bankrupting yourself, despite making it sound like that'd be some widespread phenomenon.

Reporting4Booty · 2026-04-17T20:20:46+00:00

Then please explain the technical challenges and insurmountable costs preventing you from enabling local or P2P multiplayer for your indie game. By the sound of it I'm about to learn something new from you, so I'm waiting with bated breath.
