I recall IR game controllers of that era were only particularly bad when I got excited, nervous or too focused on the game, and let them point a millimeter away from the sensor…so they only really thoroughly failed exactly when it cost me the most in the game. Haha.
I get that.
I hope you will consider that financially supporting art distributors is very optional, today.
Obviously, there is piracy.
There’s also used media sales. Used media is so cheap today, because the only people buying it are doing so for purely moral or vibe reasons.
There’s also the hybrid approach: accidentally buying “used media” created by pirates. You can tell it’s fake once you get it, because it’s not covered in ads or FBI reminders about how much more convenient piracy is.
You might also find a friend willing to loan you their copies of these shows.
For those unfamiliar with the fictional character of Charlie Burke, this McGuyver link doesn’t help.
But, since that’s clearly a uniform from “The Orville”, this Charlie Burke may be more helpful.
I like pancakes, and that this Charlie’s legacy examines racism in a thoughtful empathetic but still critical way.
Congratulations! You should get a cake.
“Why does the navigator of the Enterprise have to watch his step?”
“Because the Captain does his doody on the bridge!”
This recipe is cool, but needlessly complicated.
As the top Hacker News comment points out, just grab Luanti and Mineclonia and start playing.
On your SteamDeck, boot to Desktop, search for Luanti in the app store. Install. “Add to Steam”. Reboot. Grab a community controller mapping. Enjoy.
Or on Windows, Mac, Android, Linux or FreeBSD: Luanti Downloads, and enjoy.
Yes, you can play cross platform between all of these. Any running copy includes an optional server for your friends.
No, the system requirements aren’t the same as Minecraft - you can get away with way cheaper hardware.

Yep. And since they’re made by “Meta”, any promise that those glasses aren’t constantly recording and over sharing - well, I won’t believe it.
Usually these feel bittersweet, but it feels like this guy is just in good shape.
He’s either going to very confidently meet and fall in love with someone else, or confidently not bother with dating. Either way, that’s a pretty handy machine.
Edit: I guess “everyone” is probably literal across time. I guess at least he can get a head start getting comfortable going to dinner and a movie alone.
“If you don’t want to carry it home, that’s okay. I can bring the smell home for us with a quick roll in it.”
Yes. Or, they’ll get the thread with the awkward dog meme about a microwave. It’s beautiful to contemplate.
As someone “ordinary rich”, it is acceptable to also call me “useful idiot who turns over power and influence to the real rich in exchange for an empty promise of joining them”.
“Our AI security reviews 20,000 configurations every hour. Your money is safer than - shit. Well, nevermind. There’s no money left. Excuse me, I need to leave the country.”
If it’s all dumped into a single commit, I will whip your computer into the nearest body of water and tell you to go fish it out.
I’m going to steal this for an update to an internal guidance document for my dev team. Thank you.
People are too hard on Janeway. She didn’t have great options here. I’m sure if she could have, she would have sacrificed Ensign Kim - for not refilling the coffee replicator.
Definitely not unique to Stargate. I remember a cast member from Power Rangers commenting on how interesting it was that so many rock filled quaries were key strategic targets to the various forces invading earth…
The tactics in Wolfenstein: ET were brilliant.
That’s totally fair, and I’ll keep it in mind.
I hope my habit makes your life a little easier by normalizing they/them (or just avoiding gendered terms) as an un-interesting default.
I hope for a world where they/them becomes accepted as “I’m not trusted enough by this person to be told their pronouns yet, and that’s okay.”
I think asking people to identify their gender, early in a (non-intimate) relationship, is a particularly unhealthy cultural habit. I hope I’m helping push back on that, a bit.
In the meantime, I’m trying to learn speech habits that don’t force you to gender yourself, or to be noticed in not doing so. I hope to help make these kinds of situations easier for you.
You shouldn’t have to decide at a random moment whether to share your gender identity with me. I’m committed to keep trying to learn communication patterns that make it natural for you not to have to.
Yeah. Which I’m sure is what they’re officially selling. That’s fair. Long term, walking robots are likely only going to succeed thanks to learning algorithms.
I find it suspicious that this company is touting their AI enhancement while admitting their product can’t be trusted to navigate an apartment alone.
Personally, I would select homes with simple layouts, before conceding to constant monitoring, if I could. But I couldn’t do that if my mix of math and AI was outright bad, and it couldn’t handle it…
To me, this smells like over-promising and hoping new AI algorithms outpace their promises.
And having a remote operator just looks like a lot like a classic mechanical turk scam.
AI is propping up the blockchain bubble that already popped.
Both have been primarily interesting solutions looking for problems to solve without any hard work, rather than having any worthwhile investment strategy, in most cases.
There’s people doing hard work with block chain and AI to solve real problems. But there aren’t “the vast majority of venture funds” number of people doing that.
I am constantly amazed at how long it takes folks to realize their money is being pissed away.
An alternative less generous assumption is that they’re mostly just laundering crime money, and so don’t mind the high rates of loss.
Yes. Yes, I do.
For what it’s worth, I’ve played with my buddy’s controller while he refilled the chips bowl enough to give uninverted a fair try. I play fine at it. I just don’t like it.
