Helping with complex Terminal commands/shell scripts is basically my #1 practical use-case for AI right now… especially if you use tools like JQ a lot. Saving keystrokes is a lifestyle, after all.

I am also a really big fan of Warp, and was even before they added the AI feature (the editor-style functionality is wonderful). For the record, the AI isn’t always running in Warp, to use it you start a prompt with hash (#) and then ask for what you want and it presents options.

It does not make a meaningful difference at all. Get the keyboard you like best. Personally, I’m a fan of the Logitech G915 (Windows layout) for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Hi-Fi Rush

Pure joy and happiness from start to finish.

Yes, please!

PSVR2 is a great headset, and I would love to free it from the shackles of PS5 exclusivity. If they officially supported PC, it would easily be the best PCVR headset you can get right now.

And that. The list of “nopes” is so long I missed the most obvious one!

Always online, live service, Denuvo, and characters that are not remotely faithful to their source material abilities…?

Hard pass four times over.

Not if I’m not using any Google products. There are now excellent (even superior) alternatives to everything Google offers save YouTube.

Maybe we’ll get lucky and Gaben will leave ownership of the company collectively to it’s employees.

Daggerfall remains, to this day, one of the best games ever made. I still have my original boxed copy, and several pre-patched CDs that Bethesda would mail out back in the day. I replay it a few times a year, because it’s held up so well and there is nothing else that scratches the same itch.

I frequently wonder what Bethesda would be like today if Peterson, Lakshman, and Lefay had stayed at the company and Todd had been chased out, instead. Those three created The Elder Scrolls from scratch - lore, gameplay concepts, all of it. They had a TES Bible covering the story from Arena to Oblivion… and one by one, Todd excised all their influence from the franchise.

I miss the oppressive, grimdark atmosphere and lore, the complex world simulation, the unprecedented freedom, the unflinching maturity, and the epic, massive dungeon crawls.

I don’t see anyone trying to make a game like that again, ever. Certainly not Todd Howard’s Bethesda.

Admitting the genocide part out loud… and there will still be no consequences for Israel’s bloodthirsty terrorist government.

I’m on Debian + GNOME right now, which works fine for me, but I plan on trying out Pop! OS in the next couple weeks. I’ve put off a long time because it’s downstream of Ubuntu and I’m no longer a fan of Canonical’s direction.

The big anti-cheat tools (BattleEye and EAC) are already compatible. The only remaining problems are a small number of developers that intentionally announced that they will be proactively blocking linux… like Bungie.

Now if Valve can just give us an up-to-date version of SteamOS for desktops…!

I am getting really tired of these right-wing dictatorships trying to play the “discrimination” card whenever their governments are criticized for their heinous actions.

…are they going to apply this rule to Nintendo or Sony…

They absolutely should. Closed ecosystems should be illegal. They are literally an intentional form of unethical, predatory trust.

Nah, BDSM is all about consent. I don’t think he requested that consent before inflicting that amount of widespread pain.

Monstrous right wing imbecile is right wing monster, imbecile. Full story at 11.

Every time I see that phrase it makes my eye twitch. ALL pricing is artificial. Always. No exceptions.

I’m in California, where it is legally required for them to provide an online cancellation if that’s how you signed up.

They have a cancellation link, but if you click it, it takes you to a fake error page.

Yes.

The thing that has struck me the most is how much lighter it is. Nobody seems to be mention that, but that one small thing makes such an outsize difference.

The battery life is also very noticeable, and you can multiply the benefit by using energy conserving settings.

The other big difference is control responsiveness. If you play fighting games or other games with intense timing and accuracy needs, you WILL notice the difference.

The OG Steam Deck is still great, but the OLED is just better in so many little, meaningful ways.
