Here's a great browser extension that searched the steam store pages for the AI declaration and pops up a giant warning when there is one and shows you the text or it.

Always check your public library. The ones in m area have these which cost you nothing to use because they are supported as public services.

“The average American buys more than one new piece of clothing per week. If that matches your shopping habits, in a span of five years you have purchased more than 320 pieces of clothing.”

Who the fuck is buying multiple pieces of clothing every week? I don’t know anyone that does that. I feel like buys-ridiculous-amounts-of-clothing George is an outlier and shouldn’t be counted.

Oh man I hope they do it as a gritty live action grim dark retcon origin story that entirely explains Herobrine’s past starring Jared Leto as Herobrine and shows his face and eye color. /s

We're seeing the rise of push back against AI gen stuff... https://www.theverge.com/entertainment/827650/indie-developers-gen-ai-nexon-arc-raiders

Doubling down on the glazing of the ai bubble is pretty on brand for him. In before "tim sues steam for spurious claims against ai" or some other bullshit.

Sidenote: IsThereAnyDeal.com has the steam ai declarations as part of the quick reference section on game pages now. https://mastodon.social/@isthereanydeal/115606686918493913

Nebula. It’s a video streaming service that is ad free and directly supports the creators.

IIRC GOG is actually partnered with HeroicLauncher... so.. it's semi official to use that... and better UX.

Yeah... "off" is the direction they can fuck with that nonsense...

Maybe that new senior dev they're trying to hire to... "Actively use and promote AI-assisted development tools to increase team efficiency and code quality" will fix it.

Skyrim is a first person action adventure game with RPG elements. Baldurs gate is a much more traditional fantasy RPG which I a focused on tactics and D&D core rules and character stories where action stakes a back seat. So it sounds more like you enjoy the action and immersion of Skyrim than the “RPG” side of it.

BG3 is really a love letter to the people that liked the original games and wanted more depth to the systems to try to capture the tabletop experience a little more. Since you described it as “clunky” I’m guessing that the slower tactical aspect is what you’re bouncing off of.

Some do, but because of the prevalence of automatic coffee machines and microwaves there isn't as much of a need outside specialty coffee drinkers.

The argument about speed and convenience doesn't work in the US because of the outlet voltage as well. The 110-120v outlets don't provide the same level of power to kettles so they can't heat up as quickly. If you have a microwave it's just as fast or faster.

You just need to maintain a relationship between Time And Relative Dimension In Space. 🟦

Dark Reader - Seriously why can't more sites have a "don't blind me" mode in this day and age.

Swift Selection Search - It has a little configurable pop up whenever you highlight a word so you can send it to any number of destinations... search web, search youtube, search imdb, send to translate, look in wikipedia... you just build the search function in the extension and it becomes a little icon in the dialog box.

uBo - besides the obvious, it's good for eliminating unwanted design elements from a site.

Simple Tab Groups - it lets you define groups of tabs as sort of work spaces. I have ones for cooking, working, hobbies... you just configure what you want and dump all the tabs you want into it then you can switch to them like presets. Very handy when you open lots of stuff for a project.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-tab-groups/

Auto Tab Discard - gives much more granular control of what tabs are slept or set to never time out and how quickly they do that. Good for keeping memory footprint lower if you use a lot of tabs.

Augmented Steam - links to isthereanydeal.com so that whenever I'm viewing steam pages on browser for a game, it's showing me all the current best deals from sellers.

ScrollAnywhere - more robust click to scroll feature. Let's me use a button to scroll and pan sites more like a touchscreen device while using my mouse.

The calcium from milk thing was a myth generated by the dairy industry to sell milk.

There is calcium in milk but there is also calcium in lots of things. I have heard the fat in cow milk makes it harder to absorb the calcium anyway. Regardless. The amount you need is easily obtained from many other sources in your diet naturally assuming you don’t take supplements.

A lot of plant milks have more calcium than cow milk so adding more would be silly.

There isn't a single one of my favorite games made by ubi... and ubisoft is half the reason for that.
