For anyone reading this who doesn’t understand, shikata ga nai is a common saying in Japanese that literally translates to “nothing can be done.” It’s used very similarly to the English saying “it is what it is.” It’s not a reference insofar as just speaking in another language isn’t really a reference to anything

Hi

Updoot if you get the reference

In addition to the other comment, a lot of companies typically sell support for their software, not the software itself. That counts for a lot in the business world

The other bottles are milk jugs. This person put glue next to milk with the intention of tricking people into drinking glue.

If we consider it to be a bug and that those are false reports, then the actual number of Linux users would be 5.33 * (1-0.23) = 4.1%.

IMO that seems like a more reasonable number than 5.33. 5.33 is a crazy jump month-over-month, even factoring in Chinese New Years (February results)

That would only encourage billionaires to nope off into space fantasy land (and of course they would still maintain power over governments). As it is right now, billionaires being on the same planet as normal people is at least incentivizing them to keep the planet in somewhat hospitable conditions.

As it is now, the best course of action would be to depose billionaires more quickly than they can escape off-planet. And to do it in a public and spectacular way to put fear into the billionaires

Fighting against AI slop is fine, but that’s not what’s happened here. The devs tested using gen AI for a brief time with the intention to make placeholders. They stopped using gen AI after they found problems with the outputs. They therefore continued to use humans to make the rest of the placeholders. They then replaced all the placeholders with finalized versions, which are entirely human made.

The issue is not that Expedition 33 has gen AI, the issue was that they used gen AI for a brief time in the game’s development

Basically everything is more powerful than the steam deck. The steam deck wasn’t really designed to be powerful, moreso it’s meant to be the “reference model” for handhelds: cheapest, weakest, yet also most mainstream. My understanding is that the Z2 should be substantially more powerful than the steam deck, and though it should also use more battery than the steam deck, it also has a larger battery capacity to make up for that increased power draw. Price, on the other hand… Well, nothing can even get close to the sort of price that a steam deck offers

Nine sols. A metroidvania with parry-based combat and insanely good plot.

My understanding is that there was a scene where a young girl rides a naked man/woman around. Apparently it has since been changed to make the child older, but… I can perfectly understand why anyone would be hesitant to accept such a game based on that description alone. Even if it’s not intended to be sexual, the developers were certainly pushing the line

Gives a strangely similar vibe to seeing the slide reels. Pretty cool!

I liked Control but Alan Wake was a sludge. Its age really shows. That being said, it wasn’t necessarily bad enough that I couldn’t tank through the game, but if Control were in lower A tier, Alan Wake would be upper C tier

There shouldn’t be a need to look through multiple folders. Check the path that I listed, it should be that one.

From what you describe, it sounds like you’ve already found it once on your own. That folder contains all the custom images (the default images are presumably stored somewhere else). Just put your custom image into that grid folder and name it the correct thing. It’ll work.

The path should be the same for non-steam games as well

That looks like the horizontal grid. All the custom images are in a folder in Steam (see below for the location). You should be able to copy an image into that folder, and as long as it’s using the correct name format, Steam should use that image just fine. You’ll need to know the game’s ID, but you should be able to figure that out by cross-referencing other custom images

• Image folder location: (steam directory)/userdata/(user id)/config/grid/

• horizontal grid format: (game id).(file format) (ex: 2284631436.png)

• vertical grid format: (game id)p.(file format) (ex: 2284631436p.png)

• hero (aka wallpaper) format: (game id)_hero.(file format) (ex: 2284631436_hero.png)

• logo format: (game id)_logo.(file format) (ex: 2284631436_logo.png)

• how to find game id: there’s no easy way to find it, but you can set a custom image for the game with any of the other options, then look into the folder to see what the custom image is called. You then should be able to figure out what the game id is by comparing it to the name format

I get why the ending to 2017 Prey might have been annoying, but I honestly thought it was very in line with the themes present in the rest of the game. The more time has passed, the more I’m satisfied with the ending. That being said, IMO the only right ending is

Frankly I think it’s simply that the public doesn’t particularly care to figure it out. As an analogy, people use Windows because that’s just what their computer came with, and therefore saying that Linux is free (as in price) is a meaningless selling point to them. You don’t convince Windows users to switch by saying that Linux is free, you convince them by saying that Linux is more convenient, stable, and less annoying.

In the same way, you don’t convince the public into using Lemmy by arguing about why open protocols are better. You convince people by saying that Lemmy is basically like Reddit but not overrun by bots and spammers

My speculation? They’ll call it HL4 and then just say that HL:A was technically HL3

I recognize the original, unmodified meme but I don’t understand what the new (4th) panel is supposed to indicate. Could someone explain please?

No, that requirement has already been met. The final requirement (which has just been met now) is to reach a total of 1 million signatures. Basically, all requirements are now satisfied
