I try to contribute to things getting better, with sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.
Let’s discuss to make things better sustainably.
Always happy to question our beliefs.

Games@lemmy.world•Valve confirms Steam Machine will be priced ‘like a PC with the same level of performance’English
8·19 days agoMost gamers don’t want to get involved with PC building and just want something as convenient as a console to play their Steam games with good performance on a big screen. This can be priced quite above what a nerd would be able to build by himself with PCPartPicker.
I will never go on a second date for the life of me.
I have had enough of these dates costing a kidney every time.
Shucks, I thought the blood coming out would magically irrigate every bank account and solve all unfairness.

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Finding a New Favorite Food (by Jake Likes Onions)
9·2 months agoFrom the French Wikipédia:
The existence of marshmallow paste is documented as early as 1779 in a letter from the Marquis de Sade, imprisoned in the dungeon of Vincennes, to his wife, where he says, “Another loaf of marshmallow paste, please.”
It’s funny to see marshmallow associated with Sade, who was imprisoned multiple times for… sadism.
Four months after his wedding, Sade was accused of blasphemy and incitement to sacrilege, which were capital offenses.[43] He had rented a property in Paris which he used for sexual encounters. On 18 October 1763, Sade hired a prostitute named Jeanne Testard. Testard stated to the police that Sade had locked her in a bedroom before asking whether she believed in God. When she said that she did, Sade said there was no God and shouted obscenities concerning Jesus and the Virgin Mary. Sade then masturbated with a chalice and crucifix while shouting obscenities and blasphemies. He asked her to beat him with a cane and an iron scourge which had been heated by fire, but she refused. Sade then threatened her with pistols and a sword, telling her he would kill her if she did not trample on a crucifix and exclaim obscene blasphemies. She reluctantly complied. She spent the night with Sade, who read her irreligious poetry. He asked her for sodomy (another capital offense) but she refused. The following morning, Testard reported Sade to the authorities. On 29 October, following a police investigation, Sade was arrested on the personal orders of the king and jailed in Vincennes prison.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I landed in another toxic workplace after quitting a previous one. What would you do in this scenario? (Open to all suggestions)
39·2 months agoI guess your job market as a scientist is even worse than for IT engineers right now. So I would keep looking for a new job while keeping my head down at the current one until I can safely secure a new one. There’s also a possibility that your problems at 2 months will get better after 6 months once you get to know all your colleagues better and make some allies.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is Lemmy much better with telling a user why they were banned?
2·3 months agoJlailu is quite anti-tankie, we had some problems with them before, to the point of considering alternatives to Lemmy due to the ideology of the creators. As the average of Lemmy, it’s also no very tolerant with conservative ideas, but I have no idea what happened to this user in particular.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is Lemmy much better with telling a user why they were banned?
6·3 months agoSometimes it’s a tactic to discourage escalation because it adds confusion.
If you need to run queries that aggregate big amounts of data in a reasonable time and cost, you’ll need something built for it. For example, with a column oriented file format instead of the row oriented file format found in traditional relational databases

Guild Wars 1 made its own little style called CORPG.
A competitive online role-playing game (CORPG) differs from the standard massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) in that they are less focused on the massive group experience. All outside areas are instanced, meaning that a player and his group are the only ones there, so that every player gets his or her own unique version of the game’s story without the headache of killstealers or people disrupting the fun.
In Guild Wars, as opposed to one of NCSoft’s other offerings, like City of Heroes, a player might roam the countryside with a group of 1 to 11 other heroes. In an MMORPG like City of Heroes, the group would be surrounded by other similar groups, all wishing to kill the same mobs and achieve the same goals, at the same time, in the same space. Guild Wars eliminates this scramble, letting players take the game at their own pace while playing player versus environment.
The competitive aspect of the name derives from the player versus player, guild versus guild, and an international war called the War of Worlds. In many respects, the PvP version of the game is a very different experience from PvE, using different strategies and playing styles to battle human opponents instead of the computer AI. https://guildwars.fandom.com/wiki/Competitive_online_role-playing_game
It could be a temporary hot fix to pass some issue in production, but could break other things if left longer. So better to revert it after the big issue had passed and take more time to work on a proper solution.
