Smudge
  • I hate when people ask me to pass them their glasses. They're putting the responsibility of not smudging their glasses on me. Sure I can do it, but there is always that small possibility of failure.

    If the glasses are folded up there is that moment of trying to decide how to grab the glasses. Do I grab them by the bridge bit that sits on their nose, or by the bits that hook over the ears? Surely it's too risky to grab by the frame around the glasses.. if they exist.

    The absolute state of Humble Bundle monthly flagship titles

    Kids who use ChatGPT as a study assistant do worse on tests
  • As adults we are dubious of the results that AI gives us. We take the answers with a handful of salt and I feel like over the years we have built up a skillset for using search engines for answers and sifting through the results. Kids haven't got years of experience of this and so they may take what is said to be true and not question the results.

    As you say, the kids should be taught to use the tool properly, and verify the answers. AI is going to be forced onto us whether we like it or not, people should be empowered to use it and not accept what it puts out as gospel.

    Day 45 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots
  • The subscription fee imo is warranted given they release new content every 3 months, which includes voice acting, new dungeons, and new raid content. If it was a monthly sub with nothing released between expansions it wouldn't be acceptable imo. Highly recommend not having a recurring sub

    Day 45 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots
  • I have 3,400 hours in this game. What I enjoy is that I'm not expected to dedicate my life to it. I pay for 30 days at a time and play when new content is released every 3 months.

    I know the last expansion Dawntrail is being slated on Steam reviews, but gameplay wise it was great. The music was solid as always, the Arcadion content was fun and the new zones looked great. Given how good the story has been in the past expansions I can understand how hard it must be to write a whole new story arc and make everyone happy. Some people want something entirely new, while others want to keep it all the same.

    Spinoff Dead Boy Detectives Cancelled
  • I thought the first season was alright, had some good moments and an interesting premise. I'm not surprised it was cancelled however.

    Four-day week for workers under Labour shake-up
  • I'm personally not a fan of adding another ~2 hours onto my work days just to get a 3 day weekend. I feel like I would lose my time in the afternoon to wind down. I would much prefer to cut down to a 4 day week and work less hours with the same pay, but most companies are not going to do that.

    Weekly what have you been playing discussion - week of August 26th, 2024
  • This weekend just gone I've been playing Sins of a Solar Empire II & Steam World Heist II. Both great games, the style and music in SWHII is really well done, and a worthy successor to the first game.

    Why Gen Z & Millennials are hung up on answering the phone
  • "It's the anxiety associated with real-time conversations, potential awkwardness, not having the answers and the pressure to respond immediately" - this hits the nail on the head for me about not wanting to be on the phone/teams call in the work place. Being pulled into a call with no context is my biggest nightmare.

    Has anyone seen Loudermilk?

    I recently kept getting advertised Loudermilk on Netflix. I'd see the initial trailer that they play and wasn't intrigued. I then sat down for lunch and wanted something to watch, I decided to give it a go and after the first couple of episodes I was hooked. I finished season 3 and it was such a fun show to watch. Unfortunately I see the studio that created it has been shuttered. What's the likelihood this show will ever be picked up again?

    I know this is probably a long shot but does anyone know of a non-biased source of all party Manifestos?

    I remember some time ago there was a site where people could answer questions on subjects that were important to them and based on those which party is recommended.
