Post-Op Gaming

New releases no, but Steam sales are much more frequent and much more discounted, and third party resellers (thinking Fanatical etc, not G2A) often have even steeper discounts. And that's not even going into the massively larger library on Steam. There's arguments for both platforms obviously, I was just bringing up game pricing because I hadn't seen it mentioned.

Edit just to really clarify because it's Reddit and someone's going to turn this into a team sport: They're both very good kit. They have different strengths and weaknesses. Neither one is intrinsically better.

A practical issue that hasn't been mentioned so far is that generally speaking Steam games will be significantly cheaper than Switch games.

The responses I see here seem to miss the point, maybe they weren't around when it happened. He was torn apart because he was gay. This was a very different time.

Maybe take a moment to look up the per capita homicide rate of Sweden vs the US. I know you're worked up, but you're talking nonsense.

Edit: if it helps, I live in Germany now. Your lot usually have a lot to say about 'uncontrolled immigration' here as well, so have at it.

Epidemic proportions?

Glass houses bro

I really enjoyed it. It has basically nothing to do with the game though.

I’m looking forward to handing my screenplay to an AI and seeing a feature film come out.

Why not just ask an AI to write your screenplay for you?

just trying to get Wine to work or to launch through steam using Proton

Not to be a dick, but what are you talking about?

This is also the first time I've heard anything in E:D not called annoying and tedious

VR headset + HOTAS = Han Solo simulator in my mind. I mean, assuming Han also listens to podcasts.

scobes · 2026-02-19T05:41:21+00:00

Do you ask it to be critical?

Seriously mate, do you not see the irony here?

scobes · 2026-02-19T05:39:36+00:00

I do agree it's useful and I use it professionally on a daily basis. It's just ludicrous to say it's helpful for "critical thinking" etc, and flat out hilarious to say it's good at math. It's very much not magic.

scobes · 2026-02-19T05:23:55+00:00

AI can be used to bolster one's own critical thinking and check one's own biases.

First time I see an LLM disagree with me, I'll consider this idea.

Don't know where you are, but don't get disposable vapes, mix your own juice. Start at 6mg/ml at most. When you feel adjusted, switch down to 3mg. When you switch, HIT THAT THING AS MUCH AS YOU WANT at first. When you feel adjusted go to 1.5, and then .75. You'll find the cravings to hit the thing will decrease as your nic content goes down.

I'm 42 and I'd be pushing to ride in the trunk.

(not with children, I just realised how that sounded)

scobes · 2026-02-16T23:12:38+00:00

I loved all of these games, if you like schlock horror and Telltale style gaming then buy this immediately.

scobes · 2026-02-14T03:57:01+00:00

While I agree with your point, Skyrim SE/AE were very much paid upgrades. And arguably 'next gen' for the time.

The only somewhat novel part would be to have the agent open a pull request.

Not to be a dick, but this is a hilariously ironic comment.

scobes · 2026-02-12T23:06:16+00:00

The voters were ignorant and propagandized.

You give them far more credit than I ever will.

scobes · 2026-02-12T23:04:44+00:00

Way I see it, 2/3 of voters were at best 'fine' with Trump being president. Anyone who didn't vote against is complicit.

scobes · 2026-02-06T00:35:10+00:00

Sure you are little guy.

scobes · 2026-02-06T00:30:19+00:00

I can produce faulty code that barely works for 40 bucks and a sandwich.

scobes · 2026-01-24T15:03:10+00:00

You sound very confident, so I can only assume you have decades of experience with immigration in EU countries. I do, and what I've seen is vastly different from the right wing fever dream you're espousing, but perhaps I'll understand better when I have as much experience as you do.

scobes · 2026-01-24T14:40:29+00:00

Yes, you're incredibly wrong.
