  • Pretty sure that's called "evolution". If the caves were so sensitive and sacred, why let people in at all? They bothered putting all that effort into making it a tourist destination, changing the landscape of the cave by adding walkways and railings. As if all that doesn't already have an impact.

    Palworld faces the difficult choice of whether to become a live-service game or stay buy-to-play, PocketPair’s CEO says
  • I haven't bought Palworld yet. What is the current state of the game?

    I didn't want to buy it because I saw some friends playing it many months ago when it released and it look janky as fuck. Buggy AI pathfinding, janky enemy AI, NPCs getting stuck on terrain objects or player objects, physics bugs.

    Have these things been fixed/improved since launch?

    Reminder to clean your hole
  • That's alright. I wash my butthole every time I got to the toilet. Basically I keep an old water bottle next to the toilet. It's much more hygienic than simply drying off all the wet bits with toilet paper (as that's essentially just what you're doing. Your butthole isn't really clean, you just removed all the moist stuff that'd stick to toilet paper).

    A bag of Cheetos created a huge impact on a national park ecosystem
  • I... Don't see the big deal at all. This is something other animals do all the bloody time. Like a bird that gets blown off-course and poops undigested seeds in someplace completely new.

    I'd argue that this, is even less of an impact than seeds in birdpoop. It's a sudden and temporary bounty of food that the local creatures will make use of for a limited period of time. It might permanently change around some of the patterns of a few of the cave residents, but otherwise nothing world shattering.

    There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple.
  • Um... Yeah? You about Steam Cloud, right?

    Besides that, if it's a none-Steam game you could just... Transfer the same file to the Deck. Did with a couple of games through Google Drive.

  • It's not weird to you probably because you're used to terrible infrastructure. One car and multiple bicycles. Or just no car at all and multiple bicycles. And good public transport. Now those are reasonable things to have. Not two cars.

    After 350,000 signatures in an EU consumer rights campaign, Ubisoft is adding offline modes to The Crew games - but not the now-dead original
  • Good for you! You played a game so much you personally stopped caring. But that's just you and you alone.

    There are whole communities out there that are all about retro games. You're throwing them all under the bus for being perfectly fine about something no longer being playable due to an arbitrary and otherwise avoidable reason.

    This citizen initiative, if successful, has the power to change the way games are built from the ground up, and is the sort of "tide lifts all boats" thing that'll only end up benefiting everyone.

    Putin: lifting Ukraine missile restrictions would put Nato ‘at war’ with Russia
  • I don't know what counts as a "world war" these days anymore.

    A significant portion of the world's militaries have been involved in various Middle Eastern conflicts, yet those haven't been called world wars...

    So... What qualifies as a world war?

  • First a definition for this question, because there are many kinds of sci-fi out there and they sometimes liberally use cool sounding words without explaining them:

    A disruptor is a kind of weapon that weakens, or "disrupts", either material bonds (breaking a material into molecules), molecular bonds (breaking a molecule into atoms), or atomic bonds (breaking an atomic nucleus into protons, netrons, and free electrons. Almost like instantly turning into plasma).

    Temperature can do these things, but the idea behind a disruptor, specifically, is that it happens through some kind of catalyst, rather than brute-forcing with insane amounts of heat.

    Would such a weapon physically be possible (even if we don't know how to make them just yet)?

    How would a target realistically behave when hit by a disruptor?

    So, I have a Steelseries M800 keyboard and a Corsair mouse. Unfortunately neither of them are supported by Open RGB, and so I'm stuck with my RGB making rainbows.

    Well, sort of. My keyboard still has the configuration it had from when I still used Windows over 2 years ago. But my mouse does not.

    I use an XP Pen tablet for making art, and the official driver from XP Pen doesn't come with any options to adjust and calibrate the screen's colours, but I managed to figure out how to access these hardware settings through command line. Now this has me wondering if it's possible to do the same for my keyboard and mouse.

    I have a 2nd generation XP Pen Artist 13. It's a great tablet and I've managed to make it work with my Steam Deck too.

    But...

    It's basically an external monitor with pressure sensitive surface, so still less portable than an actual stand alone table. So I'm wondering if there is a tablet with a pressure sensitive screen and battery free pen that either comes with Linux or can install Linux on.

    The programs I use for making art are Krita, Gimp, and Blender 3D.

    There are many other bee species that can sting Humans and survive, but the European honeybee has a barbed stinger, so it cannot remove the stinger once it's stung. In attempting to remove the stinger the bee will rupture its lower abdomen and then die.

    Why? What is the evolutionary advantage to that?

    Recently discovered The Art of Noise by looking up Max Headroom. Found a bunch of tracks I like that fit well with my already existing Spotify playlists.

    However, I want to find more music like three of the dance tracks on the album Dreaming. specifically like the tracks "Colour Red", "Colour Maroon", and "Colour White".

    Any recommended tracks/albums/artists?

    I want to get back into reading, so I'm thinking of getting a Paperwhite. But I have no idea if it's possible to transfer files to it from a computer, and I have no experience with pirating books.

    Do I go to the same places I torrent movies and games or are there special places dedicated to E-Books?

    EDIT: So many awesome answers on here! You guys have been very helpful. Thanks a lot!
