Having an official YouTube channel seems to be kind of counter Anonymous.

That said, they come from 4chan and that has mostly been right wing for the last decade or so.

I had Covid in 2022 and weeks after the infection I still wasn’t feeling better. And my doctor apparently didn’t know or care about Long Covid and just told me to slowly start working again. That’s made me even worse and now I mostly have to lie in bed. I bet he doesn’t even feel bad about that.

I’ve got fatigue and brain fog and my whole body hurts the next few days to weeks when I dare to do something mildly exhausting (like cooking pasta, showering, filling out long forms). I’m vaccinated, got two or three shots.

Nobody knows what the cause is. It seems to be the same as CFS/ME. Just with more cases because almost everyone on earth got infected.

Rest makes me feel better. But it takes time. With any luck I’ll soon be joining a study on the effects of apharesis. And with any more luck it works and I won’t be getting the placebo.

So archaic. Real men just flap a butterfly’s wings so that they deflect in cosmic rays in such a way that they flip the desired bits in RAM.

Well, green stuff usually is more expensive.

Neverwinter Nights has coop. It even has a dungeon master mode where one controls the game for the other players.

BG3 might also not be suitable for kids anyways. It’s full of gruesome imagery. Like at the beginning you can pull a brain out of a more or less living person. And later on it gets much worse with mutilated bodies everywhere.

Another game to play would be Diablo 2. Also gruesome imagery but more removed from the players. If your machines can’t handle Diablo 2 Resurrected, they should at least be able to run the original. And for the original you would also only need one copy between all players. But keep in mind that D2 is more action oriented.

I don’t know. It’s been over a decade since I’ve last played that game. But I heard it’s still popular.

Bin selbst betroffen. Ist echt beschissen. Ich kann fast nur noch im Bett liegen und nur aufstehen, wenn ich auf die Toilette gehen muss. Die letzten Tage war es ein wenig besser, da konnte ich auch aufstehen, um den Kindern gute Nacht zu sagen. Aber ich muss vorsichtig sein, weil zu viel “Anstrengung” kann mich wieder um Wochen zurückwerfen.

Ich kann froh sein, dass ich noch ein bisschen Lemmy (die langen Texte überspringe ich) und Youtube browsen kann und nicht den ganzen Tag mit Ohrschützern und Schlafmaske dahinsiechen muss.

Am perversesten ist, dass Arztbesuche im Grunde genommen kontraproduktiv sind, weil das eine Überanstrengung ist von der ich mich wochenlang erholen muss. Nur dass dann wieder Zeit für den nächsten Besuch ist.

Habe bald einen anstrengenden Termin in einer Klinik. Ich hoffe, dass die das richtige für mich ist. Ansonsten schiele ich eigentlich nur auf BC007 und hoffe, dass es bald freigegeben wird.

Edit: Hab mich gerade zu einer Studie angemeldet. Hoffentlich kann ich da noch reinkommen. mhh.de/…/hilft-blutreinigung-gegen-schwere-erscho…

Lost one because the cables broke after too much tangling. These things are not good for kids.

They’re doing both. Yeah, I’d wish they’d do more for public transport. But the 49 Euro ticket was a good start.

Does anyone know of any kid-friendly "horror" games out there for children ~7 years old?

My son loves the adrenaline rush of getting scared, particularly with jump scares, however, I have a lot of difficulty finding a game or show which is appropriate for him. He is prone to nightmares, and more adult-oriented “kid horror” is too much (Poppy’s Playtime, Cartoon Cat?) And others like Siren Head. His peers...

Maybe the 7th Guest. I played that as a kid.

I actually liked that the show got a proper ending. This post shows that there are too many series that just pucker out without getting any plotlines resolved. Fringe had coherent seasons that all did something different instead of staying with a monster of the week formula.

Never watched the second season because I knew there wasn’t coming anything else.

I laughed!

Astarion's voice actor (Neil Newbon) is doing a let's play of Baldur's Gate 3 (www.pcgamer.com)

Voice and motion capture actor Neil Newbon, known to fans of Baldur's Gate 3 as Astarion, is streaming a co-op let's play of Baldur's Gate 3 alongside friend and horror writer-director Tom de Ville. As they stream they laugh along to the game, and yeah, Newbon does The Astarion Voice a lot when he's in control of, you know, the...

I hope they get the audio problems sorted. They do hilarious shit but Tom’s robotic voice cutting out all the time makes it a hard listen.

BTW, they had the Narrator, Amelia Tyler, as a guest for their third stream. She’s a friend of Neil.

You can probably get a ton of these correlations because a lot of stuff just depends on population increase.

That’s why I only use inside cameras, eg dumb cameras where I can ensure that they are only accessible inside my LAN.

bjoern_tantau,

Literally any dumb webcam and a Raspberry Pi or similar will do. I used a webcam and an old laptop. But I never put up full time surveillance. Just spontaneously when I needed something.

Heard Ubiquiti was good.

I still wonder what was so special about my N64 joysticks that I never experienced drifting. They’d recalibrate every time you turned the console on (or held some key combination) and after that were golden.

Huh? Wasn’t that literally one of the original goals of Stadia. You’d watch someone play a game and you’d be able to launch the same game at the place where you paused the video.

Yeah, these people are really entitled. Stupid snobs who miss their electricity, warm and clean water and healthy food.

I know enough poor people from Cuba who don’t want to go to USA level. Just basic humane living conditions would be all right.

On a higher level there are friends and family who have lost loved ones in east Germany. No, they weren’t super poor. Just dead, when they tried to leave this incredibly free and democratic country because they wanted the food and medicine the people on the other side of the wall were enjoying.

18+ BG3 compared to desktop

I setup BG3 on my desktop, thinking of sometimes play there as mouse can be faster for dealing with some things, for example I get frustrated trying to highlight the chest so I can open it because I have to first select a bunch of candles then a book, then a bottle rack, then a empty bottle, etc before I finally select the thing...

Reset gameplay hints maybe. You get all these tips at the start of the game. But if you have started playing on desktop those hints would have been for desktop controls.

Why should Valve release a laptop? Plenty of others with more power available on the market. A laptop should have enough space to house a dedicated GPU.

Rückzieher nach Kritik: Russland bei Nobelpreisen wieder ausgeladen (orf.at) German

Obwohl sie zuerst eingeladen wurden, werden die Botschafter aus Russland, Belarus und Iran von den Feierlichkeiten im Dezember wieder ausgeladen und werden erneut nicht teilnehmen. Mehrere schwedische Politiker hatten zuvor angekündigt, die Zeremonie zu boykottieren. Die Ukraine begrüßt Kehrtwende.

How far into the game are you? Performance goes down very much in Act 2 and 3.

My settings, running the GOG version on Vulkan through Lutris:

  • 1024x640
  • Framerate capped to 30 fps
  • in-game FSR off
  • Models: Medium
  • Shadows: Low
  • Clouds: Low
  • Textures: Medium, Filtering Anisotropic x2
  • Instance Distance: Low
  • Fog: Low
  • Detail Distance: Low
  • Animation: Low
  • Anti-Aliasing: TAA
  • Ambient Occlusion: On
  • Depth of Field: Gaussian, Quarter Denoise
  • God Rays: On
  • Bloom: Off
  • Subsurface Scattering: Off
  • Slow HDD Mode: Off
  • Dynamic Crowds: Off
  • Audio - > Occlusion Quality: Low

I get 20 to 30 fps, depending on the scene. Mostly 30.

Valve wasn’t first to market by a long shot. Valve was the first to offer a great price and a great operating system. But the general category of devices existed long before the Deck. They just were fucking expensive.

[Discussion] two handed split / VR controllers similar to joy-cons on nintendo switch, but for PC?

I honestly don’t care about VR headsets or full-body tracking right now, but I would love to have a controller that’s split into two pieces like the wiimote/nunchuck duo or the joy-cons. I know Steam can connect to actual joy-cons, but the bluetooth range on official joy-cons is pretty bad, and I haven’t had any luck...

Since the Wii was announced everyone was joking about how the stereotypical fat gamer would never want to flail about to play their games. But honestly, playing Twilight Princess with one hand resting lazily on my thigh and the other behind my head I was wishing for the industry to go in the direction of independent controllers for every hand. But apparently only motion controls went that way.

So, good luck finding what you’re looking for!

I hate my Fairphone. I bought it because due to a small crack in the screen it was impossible to repair the 5 € USB slot of my Nokia without getting an entirely new screen.

But the fucking Fairphone doesn’t even break to give me the benefits of great repairability!

Der Unterschied zwischen Supermond und normalem Mond ist so gering, dass du da sowieso nichts sehen kannst. Vergrößerung dadurch, dass die Atmosphäre als Linse agiert ist viel wahrscheinlicher und unabhängig vom Supermond.
