Some strong Distance (2018) feel here.

Got it, thanks!

Can anybody please explains it to a cybersecurity layman such as myself why that is? Did AI just exaggerate how serious those exploits are? Did it hallucinate the exploits whatsoever? Were the exploits uninteresting in the real-world hacking, where the human is still the weakest link?

Yeah, taking AI out of the context of tomato’s comment makes you think it’s not already the case, but it’s been the case since, like, wealth and connections and status became a thing, if not earlier.

Back on topic, I don’t think having real skills that you can leverage without AI is going to completely lock you out of a job or something. For now, it is pretty gloom, but I’m seeing more and more cases in my company where AI leads to nearly catastrophic failures because people use it mindlessly and generate too much busywork of others, who don’t bother checking it that thoroughly, leading to really bad consequences for everyone in a couple of weeks since the slopping commenced.

Of course, it’s happening because the upper-management has been pushing hard for everyone to use AI for everything.

Maybe companies turn away from AI because their average AI user does more harm than good with it. If I can’t have a world where all the tech that’s powering AI goes to something where it actually has benefits (which is a few scientific fields and applications like protein folding or some shit, if that hasn’t been proven wrong, too), I hope I can at least have a world where AI has disappointed the decision makers enough so that it becomes a niche expensive toy for morons with money that are ridiculed and shunned.

I fucking hate Discord. Probably gonna get a lot worse if they do go with the indexing plans.

That said, Discord is the place I had previously gotten stuff from that I couldn’t get anywhere else, and in a neat all-in-one installer package, too.

Echoing this. I’ve been playing exactly The First Encounter on my Steam Deck and it’s just great - the controller support is nice, mixed input is nice for controller+gyro, the performance is great as well, no crashes in my experience. And it’s insanely convenient.

GOOD.

Stupid just doesn’t seem to run out.

How about UZDoom and some kick-ass famous WADs from Cacowards from all the years? Freedoom wads let you do a lot of it without owning the original games:

Easily one of the most bountiful communities with endless maps and mods and sprites and music and whatever you can imagine and then some.

I so love Space Station 13 and owe it so much.

I don’t trust myself enough to jump into 14 and not neglect everything else in my life lol

looks too cartoonish for a fps

You can’t disrespect Team Forteess 2 like that after admitting to love a Valve game, especial\y Counter-Strike - both are epitome to gameplay over visuals, with the former using its visuals to bolster the FPS aspect (with silhouttes and such).

Take this from another avid FPS enjoyer of decades - it fucking rocks.

Depending on your region and time of day, the communication can be very much what you’d expect from Counter-Strike and Valve games in general, but it’s easier to get people talking like a team. Probably just for now as the game is still invite-only and somewhat niche. Like, you not having played it with the kind of query you’re making the starter post? That’s a genuine surprise.

Fun to learn and master, especially after mostly FPS.

And since we’re here, THE FINALS. Easily the most unique online FPS that is also completely free, their Cashout gamemode being something you just can’t describe through other games - it’s not bomb defusal, it’s not capture-the-flag, it’s not king-of-the-hill, but it’s awesome. Treat yourself to something new and fun, trust another CS player - it’s really good.

Don’t wanna dox myself, but yea, but only technically and marginally. I had lead a less healthy lifestyle a few years ago, which, when thought back of, really feels like an older age due to lower body inflexibilities and back pain.

Leave two bullshitters in a room and they come up with this lol

There’s no way “Paddy” explains the disastrous results to Patel, who’s gonna be real mad at the end of these 24 months, if not sooner, wondering where all the money went and where’s the ROI.

Truly the rule of dumb.

Discomfort can be so great for you! Or maybe it’s too much comfort leading to greater downsides - not sure.

A while ago, I was stuck in a situation where I had to use a backless chair for a week or so. I found myself switching positions and stretching and taking breaks more often, and how it actually led to less fatigue at the end of the day, both mental and physical. Then I tried expanding it to another experiment I had tried years back: floor-sitting, but not with my back towards a wall or a heavy piece of furtniture, with something in-between for comfort - I just set up my laptop where it was most convenient and relied on my back and legs to do the support, still taking breaks and stretching. In no time, I noticed a lot more flexibility in my legs and spine, and the morning back pain was just gone, like it was never there! Of course, initially there was discomfort, and there still is if I don’t listen my body, but overall, I feel so much healthier and lighter and more capable than my peers - especially those going to the gym and buying ergonomic PC/gaming/office chairs and such.

So I’m probably very biased towards that headline.

I am being watched!

I have not booted the game since that comment lol

No regrets, though, I’m still playing it a little on the 31st and have had a good time gaming anyway.

What’s your Spooktober progress?

I wish Mamdani would run my city, too. Heck, run my country!

Cellphones as a whole or smartphones specifically, given the attention economy and other predatory bullshit that arose subsequently?

Thanks for the demos! I think I might try The Heir: Steampunk Escape Room.

I’m still rocking a Pascal GPU from Nvidia. Shit’s not even officially supported driver-wise anymore, but it’s only getting more dear to me, especially with all the news.
