I haven't played Deep Sky Derelicts but One Step From Eden is a good time. It's much more of an action game than a card game though, and very fast paced.

I'm a fan of card games like Slay the Spire, Dicey Dungeons, and Monster Train run on practically anything. There's hundreds of hours of fun in there if you're into these games.

It's probably because the algorithm was tuned for a smaller community. As soon as posts got hundreds of comments it likely made things stay at the top for a very long time. Definitely something that will get tuned over time.

I think Active could use a little bit of tweaking though, it seems like some posts last too long and obscures newer posts.

Brent's desk is actually the microservice holding everything together. Don't shake the cables when you sit down or you'll risk crashing the whole website.

Makes literally no sense to me that Reddit couldn't afford to provide a price exception to 3rd party apps that have helped grow their community and website over the years. I've been using Reddit Is Fun for almost a decade now, and I'm not switching to their official app.

Companies are getting too comfortable when they have no competition. Really hope a Fediverse alternative will kick off like Mastodon did (ironically I'm placing my bets on kbin even though I use Lemmy. Seems like the simpler alternative that'll be easier to invite people over).

Hype \o/

Show me that Elden Ring DLC, Geoff.

Appreciate the recap, there's also https://2023.gamesrecap.io/ where you can sort trailers by conference and date.

Minetest is really cool but it's always struck me as kind of a shameless Minecraft clone instead of trying to do something new. The graphics are identical, the UI is similar, the gameplay is practically the same, there isn't a huge reason to play it compared to Java Minecraft + mods. It is free and open source though, which is cool.

I'm more of a Vintage Story enjoyer myself. It has its fair share of issues but I appreciate how it's not trying to be Minecraft.

This sound like you don't play games very much because that's not the case, at all. Not everyone has unlimited data caps and fast internet, and those that do would still rather play games locally than suffer input lag and video artifacts. With consoles and PCs being as powerful as ever and still affordable I don't think the cloud gaming market will ever be mainstream.

Sounds like you may enjoy F.E.A.R. on a harder difficulty.

This is the stuff that makes me really excited for AI. Sure, having a personal assistant is nice. Generating images and music is also very cool. Optimizing software and hardware though, this is where things get amazing.

Modern software is pretty abysmal when you think about it. In the last 20 years we've focused more on making things faster rather than making more optimized things. We ended up with ultra bloated operating systems, regularly 100mb+ apps, RAM sucking programs like web browsers and background apps that make even 8 gigabytes of RAM not enough, and so on.

I'm waiting for a point where AI can start optimizing legacy code and say "Wait, this is really dumb and wastes so much energy". Imagine Windows running on only 100mb of ram. Imagine apps and websites being 10x more efficient than they are now. It's not that crazy of a concept, only a matter of time.
