Hbomberguy has been getting nothing but better.

Foldingideas also has fantastic long form video essays that I really enjoy.

Binging with Babish - used to be a fantastic set of recipes and takes on cooking that I really enjoyed trying to make, then got into the serious money and jumped the shark, both in “I bought my brother a Tesla/fulfilled a fan dream” and “this week we’re using this dehydrator” ways (that meant I just wasn’t going to be able to even imagine using the techniques and knowledge on show).

John Walker (founder of RPS, back when it wasn’t a window to Eurogamer style content) is currently doing Buried Treasure, a small review blog for things that aren’t being appreciated by the masses. Well worth checking out!

Can you explain how “emailing all your friends about your viewing habits” is enshittification and not just a feature you don’t like?

Fairly easy fix, there, given this is Valve who own the marketplace:

• Only initially sold via Steam
• Require a Steam account to buy, and the amount must be unrestricted (have bought some amount of games, I think is the way they do that)
• Optional: restrict sales to 1 per account initially, maybe open that up later

I’ll say, as someone who loves listening to chill music, but has had a few events leave them with pretty bad tinnitus, it sucks to be even partially on the way to there.

The digital foundry video said no plans to support at launch.

I’m sure they haven’t tested this out, at all. 😅

In more seriousness, does it not just look like the same distance as on the steam deck (which I find comfortable to use), but mildly rotated?

Have you, uh, seen steam input and the new controller with the touch pads? It sounds like you haven’t…

Looking at netstat, I see at least one connection to GCP - but I’m not checking exhaustively, and that could be for anything.

Something something “there can be only one”.

Sigh. Not that I particularly enjoyed bloodhunt when I tried it, but it’s always a shame to see a game shuttered.

Completely agree, this is far less QoL and far more “I didn’t really want to play the game.”

It’s available to see in person in the tour of the GW HQ in Nottingham, just at the end of the first room (I think).

Sword of the Sea, apparently.

Wow, either you’ve not played a bunch of the excellent Warhammer games that have come out over the last decade or we really disagree on what makes a good game!

What sort of things have you played?

That’s just… Not how they work.

Equally, from your other comment: a parameter for truthiness, you just can’t tokenise that in a language model. One word can drastically change the meaning of a sentence.

LLMs are very good at one thing: making probable strings of tokens (where tokens are, roughly, words).

I was going to bring Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem up, but I see they don’t have documentation! Shocking lack of paperwork.

If you don’t count arbitrary clusters of buttons as a d-pad, I think this is an invalid comparison.

Do you count, e.g., the A/B/X/Y buttons as a d-pad?

Having not read the article yet:

I’ve used it on my Steamdeck. It saves a fair bit of battery, and can look quite nice for it - but you’ll obviously need a fairly reliable internet connection.

It’s hard to try and super sample, and the official “installer” will trash your non steam games. I was using the flatpak available until this week, and I’m thinking I’ll move back.

Another thing I’ve found is if you limit the Steamdeck enough, GFN will drop the visual quality and it can look pretty awful.

That said, it’s pretty neat to be able to run some windows only games that I might not consider playing on the 'deck, or to easily play Xbox game pass games, or whatever. I played a fair bit of AC Valhalla like this.

Any specific questions?
