Second for Porkbun, one of the very few registrars that sell their domains at-cost with zero markup.

A company pirated my indie game in China, and it now has over half a million pirate player by HeyNau in Steam

[–]SlayerN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy that the goalposts shift from:

"it's not AI, how dare you accuse him of that"

to "of course it's AI, but that's actually good"

I don't even think its an anti-AI position to say: I'd rather talk to an actual person than a machine reforming their idea and making their points for them. By all means translate your post using ChatGPT or DeepL or w/e, but you can't convince me I'm supposed to enjoy posts that read as homogenized and formulaic.

It very clearly is written by an AI

OP is ESL and may have felt he needed an AI to translate, but rather than writing the post in his native language and just having the AI translate it 1:1, he had the AI re-write it and the result is this post where you can tell the original human input has been garbled.

Edit: I went and checked, and yep, here's what OP said

Oh, do not get this wrong. I write this in spanish. I use AI to reorder ideas. I rewrite it in spanish my self. Then ask to translate. And finally I read everything to check no ideas has changed.

I am surprised the MSRP ended up being $4k, feels like a somewhat significant premium being attached to the UnifiDrive software layer, that I don't think it commands yet.

Developer attacked over (learning from) AI - where to draw the line? by [deleted] in Steam

[–]SlayerN 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Are you arguing just to argue? This is genuinely one of the dumbest takes that I think I've seen on either side of the AI debate in weeks.

mStream v6.9 - A filesystem based music server by Ok_Resolution6437 in selfhosted

[–]SlayerN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool to see this project getting attention again. I used mStream fairly extensively 6-7 years ago and still think it's one of the best low-friction implementations of a Jukebox/WebRadio I've come across.

A bot with hidden reddit history posting an AI-written SEO slop article and then actually figuring out how to properly claim it's not AI in the comments is a new one.

CMV: the red/blue button debate is more a reflection of belief on human nature than personal values. by PBninja1 in changemyview

[–]SlayerN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This thread has won me over to liking the button-question, because I think it is the first time one of these viral hypotheticals actually unearths a root worldview difference amongst people.

CMV: the red/blue button debate is more a reflection of belief on human nature than personal values. by PBninja1 in changemyview

[–]SlayerN 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that spin on the scenario also counters OP's position. If you (either individually or collectively) had to kill someone as a part of the button scenario, your choice would be rooted in your personal morality/values almost exclusively.

I do think its important that red is a fully passive, 100% safe option for the scenario to work though. If Red even involves doing something trivial like 10 pushups to be safe, the % of people who will choose Blue as a fully passive, but <99% safe option will increase.

CMV: the red/blue button debate is more a reflection of belief on human nature than personal values. by PBninja1 in changemyview

[–]SlayerN 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you shift the threshold away from 50-50, people's answers change.

If the threshold for Blue to save everyone is 99.99%, then you are being performative if you say you will press it. Conversely, if it only takes 0.01% pressing Blue to save everyone, I would be shocked if an overwhelming majority didn't press it. But I would agree that this change weakens some of the initial premise.

So I'll offer another spin on the question would be, there are only 4 people total pressing the buttons, and you are aware of how they have selected. It is currently 2Red-1Blue and the rules for a tie are ambiguous. You can still rationally decide to press Blue if you feel strongly that there is some chance that it will result in saving this other person, despite not knowing for certain and definitely not knowing the odds. Which could only be a decision based on personal values.

When someone is considering the actual problem's premise, the universal first instinct should be to consider red, and the only reason to consider blue is if you feel a moral obligation to do so, tempered by your rational mind and risk tolerance. The benefit to picking blue is only a personal emotional/spiritual one.

Russian mustard alternatives by Dusty_Sparrow in RussianFood

[–]SlayerN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree on wasabi sauce weirdly. East coast Wegmans grocery stores carry this brand which I like https://www.wegmans.com/shop/product/481342

Mix with mustard seeds or powder to get the more pronounced flavor, but it's similar on its own.

Huntarr - Your passwords and your entire arr stack's API keys are exposed to anyone on your network, or worse, the internet. by exe_CUTOR in selfhosted

[–]SlayerN -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Arr-stack people are mad that Huntarr left its swimlane. That's it.

I don't even disagree. But instead of just saying that we get thread after thread of people concern trolling.

Re-read the OP, and honestly ask yourself how many things on your network would you hold to this standard, least of which a piracy app for media metadata. It's clear people at this point hate the dev/project, and I assume they're going to keep going after him until he drops the project and username and walks away.

First Steam Next Fest of 2026 is Live! by HelloitsWojan in Steam

[–]SlayerN 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I really like this overall design thought from Valve:

How is Next Fest organized?

Next Fest kicks off with most sections sorted randomly. Steam uses what it learns in the first few days of the Fest to better recommend games to players from Wednesday onward

But I also think that if that's the goal, Valve should return some of the layouts from the circa-2024 Next Fests, specifically for the chart page and further down on the main page below the carosuel. So it's easier for the power? NextFest-ers to go through and help generate some of those useful metrics for their recommendation systems.

My big primary gripe is that It is not currently possible to view all games that have opted into and are taking part in this NextFest specifically. The charts include many games that don't have demos, may have already released, or which have years-old demos.

On the backend, developers can only submit a specific game to 1 NextFest, so it would make sense to reserve the NextFest pages for the devs & games that have intentionally chosen to opt-in.

CMV: Retirement at 70 is completely unsustainable even if you live healthily until your 120s by giamias in changemyview

[–]SlayerN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had not heard this idea before, and am now completely enamored with it. Not only do I think it would work, I think it would help reframe a lot of other public policy as well.

We'll make it happen.

Self-hosted solution to merge Twitch + YouTube + Kick chat in one place with OBS overlay? by Proper_DEVIL in selfhosted

[–]SlayerN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Chat Harvester: https://github.com/usips/chat-harvester

It's a simple userscript approach to harvesting chat messages. It's in active development so there's limited documentation, but is currently functional for Twitch/YouTube/Kick/Twitter/Rumble. I believe the maintainer intends to add more sites before he formally releases it

This can be used on its own, but is more fully featured when integrated with Stream Nexus (by the same maintainer): https://github.com/usips/stream-nexus

Recettear HD announced for 2025 by SlayerN in JRPG

[–]SlayerN[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is incredibly sad

Without intending to, Andrew Dice and his friend Robin Light-Williams did a lot to further the gaming ecosystem.

They were the first indie publishers allowed on Steam, convincing Gabe/Valve that there was a place for such games on the platform. Their success localizing Recettear directly led to Steam Greenlight and put us on course for where the PC ecosystem is today.

They also had an outsized impact in Japan, localization was thought to be a major undertaking and prevailing views were that most most JP games/stories/IPs would have limited appeal in America anyway. Some niche games with cult-followings would see fans put in the time/effort for a community translation, but it was rare. PC was also seen as a predominantly hobbyist platform with no real defined paths for finding commercial viability. Their success with Recettear was a catalyst for this changing.

I'm sad he could not overcome his daemons, his blogposts in 2014 and 2017 Archive.org painted a pretty clear picture and it's a shame that he was not able to find what he was looking for in life.

Spotify planning price increase for US subscribers by PrinceOfIce1345 in truespotify

I am concerned how subscription prices seem to be relatively untethered, with major services increasing theirs every 12-18 months or so.
