From the article it looks like that was an issue with ZeniMax Online Studios

Fallout76 was a bad game. Not really evil though. And I heard it got much better, admittedly long after launch. I really enjoyed Fallout 4 but I get that I was in the minority there. Either way, I don’t think a company should be totally panned just because they made the main character voiced instead of silent. Re-releasing Skyrim got old, but you don’t have to buy it, lol. I don’t know what you mean about their launcher. Was it bad? You could always start the games from the exe as well. You’ll be happy to know there’s no launcher for Starfield anyway.

I think they’ve made something amazing with Starfield, although it starts quite slowly.

Pirate the game if you want, no judgement from me, but don’t justify it by pretending its some moral good.

Oh why not, it’s a really good game. Did Beth do something evil or something?

I’ll add the Discworld games. And Simon the Sorcerer!

Just in case you don’t know, CP2077 is great now, and set to get better when the dlc drops soon.

Starfield early access hits tomorrow, I think it’s gonna be tricky to convince myself to also do my washing, shopping, etc. this weekend!

They said they don’t drive

Its just how photography copyright law works. The person who presses the button owns the photo. I was a wedding photog or a while. I wouldn’t stop the couples sharing my photos on social media, but they wouldn’t be allowed to sell the photos for use in marketing or anything. Nit that ot ever came up.

If a couple asked me not to use their photos for advertising then I would have taken them down, not because I was legally obliged to, but because I’m not a horrible person.

When I was getting started I charged less, because I didn’t have examples of my work at weddings. But I made it very clear to the couple that I would be using the photos for advertising o get my business off the ground, so they knew their pics would be all over my website, etc.

Binging with Babish is very cool. He makes food fro TV shows and movies. And he has really sexy arms.

To anticipate the next questions, IP stands for Iambic Pentameter, which is obviously self-explanatory.

Yep, it’s basically a sorting software that makes sure your IP is always sorted under the “somewhere else” tag, so the government can’t see where you are, or more accurately when you are.

I’m forever your girl!

Mind Your Dirigible, the dirigible in this case being your personal data. He’s saying you should use a VPN or other precautions when using those apps.

I’m a special education teacher and today I was tasked with writing a baseline assessment for the use of an iPad. Was expecting it to take all day. I tried starting with ChatGPT and it spat out a pretty good one. I added to it and edited it to make it more appropriate for our students, and put it in our standard format, and now I’m done, about an hour after I started.

I did lose 10 minutes to walking round the deserted college (most teachers are gone for the holidays) trying to find someone to share my joy with.

DayZ?

The Nature Centre - art-pop from Birmingham, UK. They’re great!

I like that your comment is the tl;dr for the above comment

I’ve made a few text/discussion based posts on a dnd community and got good engagement. People are wrong if you give them a chance.

Be the change you want to see. It’s never more true than at the beginning of something like we are now. I’ve only been here a month or two and I ashtray feel like I’ve seen Lemmy evolve over that time. It’s cool!

Weird that he died from fentanyl at the exact same time was he was being choked to death

Space Engine. It’s not quite a game, but rather an accurate simulation of the known universe. Anything beyond what we know is procedurally generated. The first time I played it it made me feel so small.

I started at Earth and flew around the solar system, then picked a star and flew towards it. You have to increase your speed by multiples of the speed if light to get them to move. The stars started moving and then moving past, me, but the star I chose wasn’t moving. I realised it was actually different galaxy, so increased my speed by many many multiples of the speed of light until eventually it dwarves to move. I flee over to it, and then slowed and explored a few star systems there, I found a binary star system, that was really cool.

Then I had a realisation. If I didn’t use the search function, and I just flew around trying to find my way back to Earth, I just never would. I could play it for the rest of my life and be certain that I wouldn’t find it. The odds are that small. That thought scared the shit our of me and I closed the game and couldn’t okay it again for a few days.

Don’t know if that’s what you’re looking for but I do recommend the experience!
