Isn't Black Mesa Half-Life 1?

That's not particularly rational given how quickly computers progress in both performance and cost, a current-gen $1k Macbook Air will run circles around your M1. You'd probably be…

Games like this based on an existing skill would really benefit from the ability to start at higher levels. I'm a pretty proficient typist, it'd be a lot more interesting to me if …

Good? I've got gigabit symmetrical and I'd much rather stream just what I need rather than have to dedicate an entire hard drive to storing a planet I won't see 99% of. And if it r…

Where did this article title come from? Last I checked, "soon" isn't "now," the feature isn't actually available yet

I had a near-identical experience. I looked into switching in 2019 and ran into this 2016 bug which was a showstopper for me. Fixed it myself, grand total 4 line diff. https://gith…

Can someone please help me understand why this is useful? The article mentions malware scanning applications, but if I'm sending you a malicious PDF, won't I want to clearly mark i…

Alright dude, you clearly just want to enjoy your $3500 toy, don't let me stop you. I love and support you, brother. Meanwhile I'll keep doing a ton of stuff on my technically infe…

I'm not ignoring anything, but if my Lamborghini got out-accelerated by a Toyota I'd be upset about that, too. There's all sorts of other things to be upset about, again compared t…

Blatantly false. The FOV, which is one of the most critical performance characteristics of a headset, is inferior to the Quest 3. I'd _expect_ every single thing to be better if I'…

It's VR-only but VTOL VR is incredible and I think matches what you're talking about here? I haven't played those older ones you mentioned though

We are in an absolute golden age of PC flight sims, especially with the immersion that we can get from VR, so when you say "all games" you mean "console games"

I spent all day with friends going around Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. We had to Uber around since the subway was mostly disabled. That was expensive and traffic wasn't great b…

Oh my, polluters will need to cover the cost of their externalities for once in human history, let me go grab my pearls

AC in the context of electricity has meant "alternating current" for literally more than a hundred years. This is a you problem, not OP's, so turn down the snark. https://en.wikipe…

This is complete bullshit. I have the exact same experience Parent has, my feed used to be full of interesting people from tech, science, and journalism. Now it's ~80% meme feeds s…

> On my most recent visit this spring I paid $24 for a single very mediocre cocktail. I have bad news about every restaurant in Manhattan since Covid.

Sure you can, businesses generally love you giving them money in exchange for goods and services.

The only guaranteed quests are for Lazarus and Diablo at the end of the game. It was possible for the Butcher to not show up in any given playthrough. https://diablo-archive.fandom…

What's not open about it? I see the source, I see instructions to build from source, I see a license that seems to say I can copy and make derivative works out of it. Can you try t…

You seem to be coming at this as a member of the Android team. I'm coming at it as a user. It's not my job to make it better, but it is my job to make informed decisions over wheth…

But there's a bar somewhere, right? If I reported a bug that your lock screen could be bypassed by entering 0000, you'd expect that to trigger a security response, right? If you're…

It casts serious doubt on the Android team as a steward of the platform if this was reviewed by multiple "product and engineering teams" and not a single person thought that fundam…

There is no 15% bracket, I was mentally averaging between 12% and 22% https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/taxes/federal-income-tax-...

If you look at Table C-1 in parent's source, it has median post-tax household income at 65K which is a much more reasonable number. We're incredibly wealthy, a per-person median in…
