Law enforcement has been collecting fingerprints for over 100 years now, and the history of using fingerprints for other reasons goes even further back.

The error here is that we decided to start using an easily obtainable piece of data as a “lock” on our phones and computers. For many reasons, it’s better to use a password or PIN.

I had no idea it was even released.

Hacker News works fine. Can’t vouch for the others, since I don’t touch corporate “AI” if I can help it.

Splatoon 1 actually had local multiplayer - it was 2-player only, but for those of us with kids, it was good enough. Split screen multiplayer in Splatoon 2/3 would’ve been great.

Pretty much nothing you said is true, it was not “designed from the ground up to be frustrating” and the other statements are too vague to even bother attacking. “Not even wrong” is the phrase that comes to mind.

You didn’t even mention an example of a game which would count as “something good”.

QubesOS. When you need security and don’t need to play games, this is objectively the best distro.

NixOS for me. It’s a package manager (a very nice, declarative one) that you can use on any Linux (or Mac), and there’s also an entire distro based on it.

Thank you for this! Gonna download it ASAP.

Thank you! I hadn’t heard of Qanba before - they definitely have some interesting joysticks.

I’m not into feet specifically, but when I ask for “Veronica Mars in a string bikini” I don’t want to get “Veronica Mars with unattached toes.” It’s distracting AF.

Doesn’t happen with real models, or even human-made hentai.

The tech isn’t there yet. There are so often distracting flaws around the hands/feet. The AI doesn’t really know what a human is, its just endlessly re-combining existing material.

My lifehack: block every community with “memes” in its name. You’ll see far fewer memes in general, and be less aggravated when one does show up!

Corporations always go bad over time. Hopefully more and more people will realize this.

I have my copy! Only made it through the prologue since work+family limits my gaming time, but I like it so far!

Nice! I will admit to not having played many Survival Rogues so they’re not prominent in my thinking, so I’m glad you mentioned them.

The fact that you can say “rougelike card games”, and we all know exactly what you mean, is precisely why we should name that genre. There are plenty of folks who want to seek out roguelikes and not be inundated with Slay The Spire clones. (I like them just fine, personally.)

FTL is what I’d call an Action Rogue, even though it’s pausable (and actually a lot, maybe all, Action Rogues are pausable).

I haven’t played The PIT - I need to look it up.

The idea of classifying based on progression is one of the most important ideas here, you’re right about that. But I also want to capture the idea that the core gameplay itself - grid combat, real-time, cards, JRPG-style battle screens, whatever - is important.

Zip the file(s), then GPG symmetric encryption/decryption with AES. Nothing fancy.

Dragon Quest IV has all the ingredients of a fine 16-bit RPG: multiple playable story characters with unique personalities, a plot with twists and turns, minigames, and a fairly unique villain with human motives.

Somehow, they made it work on the original NES, before 16-bit RPGs were even a thing.

There’s also the risk of users saving and distributing confidential data. You don’t need admin rights for that! I’m not actually sure this applies to OP, but if he’s giving everyone a web browser, it certainly seems like a risk.

Vim is the greatest tool ever made for manipulating text as text. Emacs is easier to modify (I <3 Lisp) and is better at handling the semantics of the text it’s working with.

Also, Emacs has evil-mode now, so the only reason to still prefer Vim is 1. A strange love of vimscript, or 2. A lack of permissions to install Emacs.
