Although somewhat unrelated, I thought this excerpt from the article was interesting and sad.
Asked in an interview if he regrets Balatro’s success, he replied: "Honestly, yeah. Don’t get me wrong - this has changed my life in a lot of amazing ways. I’m so grateful. But I do miss that time before. It was just a hobby that recharged my batteries. Sometimes I think, ‘Maybe I would’ve been happier if I had never released this game to the public.’
It’s marginally better if you say you’re a child. Cancer-lite if you will.
When I searched for the quote, the only result was this:

My guess is that they wrote those themselves.
I’m really sick of how pervasive it is everywhere now. You can’t sell a product or provide a service nowadays without advertising some AI aspect. I wish that would go away.
I actually pay for a chatGPT premium account because personally I find a lot of value in it. I use it to help with writing, picture analyzing (what species of … is this), and a lot more. I just wish I could decide when I want AI involved and when I don’t.
It’s wild to me that somehow the elite controllers are worst than their cheaper brothers. I’ve owned both series. Both sucked hard.
I don’t know how it works under the hood, but from a user perspective it behaves like it’s in BFU. Biometrics disabled, phone code required.
Long press of power and volume up for a few seconds puts you into BFU.
Gave it a shot this weekend after seeing a piece about it on Friday. Generally I thought it was OK. The match making kind of sucks and it took me a number of “quick play” attempts until I was actually able to play.
Gameplay was fun, if not a bit frustrating. I got completely smoked by a couple of people and it felt like they had deep knowledge of the maps which was tough to counter.
All in all, for the price, it’s worth a pickup.

Right? Some of us buy no AAA games and don’t even kinda care it can’t run them
I use the Orion browser with uBlock Origin installed and get 0 ads on YouTube.
I mean, isn’t that the point?
I’ve literally never had it with fries. Perhaps obvious, but it’s my go to for any kind of Asian noodle or fried rice.
Not the topic at hand but,
it seems Americans hate the idea of installing any third-party messaging apps
For me, I can talk to literally everyone I want to via the stock messaging app (iMessage in this case). I get no value from installing a second messaging app for a specific human or two.
Well his own speech is absolutely free. I’m pretty sure that’s what he meant.
This is a tremendously tough journey. I found Bald and Bankrupt’s video about it pretty insightful
Look at those ergonomics on that controller. I never owned a Saturn, but is that thing comfortable to hold?
Like I get it, it’s scary and I don’t want them to have my data, but my picture is being taken ALL the time basically everywhere I go. Is putting my foot down for this specific type really making a difference?
I’m gonna fall through the ceiling :(
Whatever the publicly stated purpose of the camp, the SS men who arrived there on 11 May 1933 were left in no illusion as to its real purpose by the speech given on that day by Johann-Erasmus Freiherr von Malsen-Ponickau
