    Crimson Desert

    Is this playable with a controller? I know there were lots of complaints initially, unclear if recent patches fixed this stuff.

    Unless the physical media is being adjusted up and digital remains the same.

    Isnt that the pattern? Every other system is a flop?

    Crimson Desert

    Is the combat in this game any decent? And by "decent" I mean Elden Ring / Dark Souls level. Or is it mostly just running around climbing cliffs?

    Crimson Desert

    This to me says the team was off in their own little world. Which aligns with the comments that the game is a hodge podge of different ideas and systems.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Don't think it affects items. Only item that I can think of is the S-tier Potent Robe which you will lose access to if the Tieflings don't make it to act 2.

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    I had to write a simple desktop app for internal use. Nothing super complicated, but it did require some low-level system stuff that I have zero experience with. Had Codex code up something that worked perfectly. In total, spent a couple days making sure everything did work as expected and...

    Advance Wars was sort of a spiritual successor to TG16 Military Madness, right? God I loved that game back then.

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    That is our devs: "AI writes slop!". You write slop.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I've mentioned this before, but I have over 2000 hours played at this point -- and still discovering new things. Have completed the game over a dozen times. Doing a Shadowheart origin playthrough right now -- first time doing an origin run besides the Durge. Also, the Chocolate mod is pretty...

    Crimson Desert

    From the looks of the combat, I would think perfect controls are paramount. Sounds like it would make the combat instantly unfun. So what's left? Running around gawking at the scenery and finding secrets under rocks? We already know the story sucks.

    Crimson Desert

    I put a few days into Black Desert. Combat hits hard and feels visceral/fun at first, but it's super spammy with way too many abilities. Nothing stood out... every move felt equally interchangeable, so I never got that sense of mastering the system or a truly cohesive flow. Sort of sounds like...

    I bought a Switch for TotK and found that one to be boring and not particularly fun.

    It's a Korean studio, right? Hard pass.

    Firefly

    Yes, they were pretty cute. Always had a thing for Alyson Hannigan. Did they make her a lesbo or something in the show? Also, for anyone interested, there's a pornstar that looks a lot like Jewel Staite: (Charlotte Mae)

    Firefly

    Yeah, I don't know...I mean, it wasn't terrible. But the tone of the show felt very different after season 5. Obviously, this was due to the show-runner leaving. But, for me, it was never quite the same.

    Firefly

    While we're at it, an awesome damn show was Supernatural - for the first five seasons. Then they ran it into the ground.

    I imagine you could simply run Windows in a VM on a Linux host system when you need access to this stuff.

    Firefly

    If this is an actual show and not just some stupid podcast, and Alan Tudyk is involved, then it obviously has to be set before the events of Serenity. Given the huge age difference between now and then, I'm betting this will be an animated series.

    Windows 11

    I've ditched Windows on all my PCs save the gaming rig which is effectively a Steam-box. And that's still on Windows 10 at the moment. My work laptop, which is no slouch spec-wise, is running Windows 11 of course. But my god it runs like complete shit. Huge delays when bringing up the Start...

    Linux OS stuff Thread

    What kind of equipment is this? Also, at this point, if you're somewhat technically skilled, AI (ChatGPT, whatever) can be incredibly useful in resolving any Linux install issues. No longer will you need to Google around trying to find some random website that has some random post from some...

    Yeah, the final 10 minutes were an absolute rollercoaster. I thought the series was about to wrap up right there. Hope we don’t have to wait another 10 years for Season 3!

    Group? No, get Sabnzbd and Sonarr. Then just pick the show and poof. Obviously there's a bit of setup, but just ask ChatGPT or Grok and I'm sure they can step you through it

    By the way, I see a lot of YouTube shorts with Shadowheart wearing super hot outfits (yes, I like playing dress-up). Where are these from? Not seeing much on the official Larian Mod Manager.

    Our project managers don't know shit about anything. And they are forced to write user stories which is a complete joke.

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    I've restarted my Retro 8-Bit fantasy Super System project with a new focus: creating a fully AI-driven platform that lets anyone make 8-bit games just by describing them in plain language. Instead of hand-writing assembly code and crafting assets manually (though you can still do that if you...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    Yeah, I have Claude building out a game for my emulator in Z80 assembly language. And things work 90% of the time right out of the box. Now, granted, like I mentioned I'm not "vibe" coding it. I'm giving it very strict rules and orderly phases. This is the way.

    They got us access to GitHub Copilot on the corporate tenant. All our devs use that (if at all).

    I've been using Claude Code and Codex CLI and I actually prefer them over the IDE integrations.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Fellow employees at my org barely use it besides for simple questions. Technically we're limited to Microsoft Copilot but organization-scoped. I don't use it but I'm guessing this is a gimped model? Most complain that it's not great and lump all AI with that assessment.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    We recently had to add a new feature to our ancient WebForms app. Nothing too crazy, but if you've ever worked with WebForms, you know how easily you can spiral into postback hell. Anyway, I used Codex to build it. I fed it the requirements, pointed it at the stubbed files, and presto it just...
