Your perennial reminder that Keven Sorbo is an idiot.
  • If I recall correctly, the whole tax thing didn’t actually happen at that time as far as we know because there aren’t any contemporary records of it happening at that time.

    2024 could be the year the PC finally dumps x86 for Arm, all thanks to Windows 12 and Qualcomm's new chip
  • Steam runs absolutely fine on my m1. I haven’t checked if it’s running Rosetta or native arm code, but I can’t tell at all so it doesn’t matter. All my Mac games run fine on steam, unless they are old and 32 bit. But macs dropped 32 bit support a while ago even on intel chips. The games run great too.

    Pluralistic: "If buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing"
  • I have been for over 20 years actually! What do I get for winning the bet?

    Edit:

    One of our games we actually ended up supporting a form of piracy. A huge amount of our user base ended up using cheat tools to play our game which meant that they could get things that they would normally have to purchase with premium currency. Instead of banning them, we were careful to not break their cheat tools and I even had to debug why their cheat tool stopped working after a release.

  • Piracy was never stealing. It’s copyright infringement, but that’s not the same as stealing at all. People saying it’s stealing have always been wrong.

    Long COVID really sucks
  • Yep! As long as I don’t get Covid again?

    It happened over a year ago and my doctor says there’s been no change, and to not expect it to get better either.

  • Absolutely. I heard it non-stop from my dad and my in laws. Listening to them act like it’s nothing even after it gave me partial vision loss drove me crazy.

    Not only does my dad think it’s ’like the flu’, he keeps saying it IS ‘just the flu’. He thinks it’s the same virus and people are conspiring to control us by giving the flu a new name and then freaking out over it.

  • It sure does. Mines a bit unique afaik though.

    I was diagnosed with a swollen optic nerve a few weeks after getting Covid when I realized my vision was going dark in one of my eyes.

    They did an mri to rule out any other causes and concluded it was from Covid.

    Over then next few months the swelling of the nerve went away but the bottom 1/4 of my vision in that eye is still dark due to the nerve being damaged from it.

    Theres been a number of other documented cases of this happening from Covid.

    It is November.
  • Wild Turkeys do fly. Just usually not very far, and usually only to escape predators or to fly into trees at night. Or to fly onto my roof to get the the yard on the other side of my house lol

    Unity’s new “per-install” pricing enrages the game development community
  • Developer makes a game for the iPhone, charges $1 for it.

    I buy the game for $1.

    Apple takes 30 cents.

    My family of 5 all install the game and play it via family sharing.

    Unity takes $0.20 X 5 = $1

    Developer loses 30 cents on the sale.

    I accidentally bought a game while my VPN was on
  • In the US it’s only illegal if there is a crosswalk and you don’t use it. If there is no crosswalk, then it’s not jaywalking.
