This sounds nice - when i’m done with getting my life back in order i’m gonna start selfhosting for real, and this goes onto the “to implement”-pile! (i just realized that the pile is getting pretty large)

Unless you’re fucking Cracker Barrel.

Which was manufactured outrage, spawned by a few Shitter posts which were then amplified by a huge bot network.

This is a cultural milestone in humanities history.

Yeah, i agree on that; when i heard that i thought about jumping in for a month and playing it again; it actually is pretty fun, but it’s simply too expensive to buy in. I would be happy if other games with lots of DLC or expensive DLC considered something similar; Paradox games are the first thing that come to mind, but there’s other stuff like Rimworld where you can drop 100 Bucks on expansions that i simply do not have.

I’ve pulled an allnighter with this game after letting it sit in my library since it was in early access, it’s fucking awesome! i’ve stopped an hour ago because i realized that i started to slow down and make more mistakes; gonna take a nap and then it’s on again lol

And yes, Death to Chronos!

I’m glad we’re both having a good time with that game.

rest assured your sacrifice has improved the blocklist of everyone here, bro

Deadlink is a great roguelike arena shooter, give it a whirl!

Yes, there are meta upgrades; the gear is a parallel system to those upgrades.

And yes, things are more straightforward; you always get a few unlocks that you are close to shown at the start of a run.

I have Soulstone Survivors here, but didn’t have time to try it out yet, so i can’t say anything to compare the two.

Progression is slower than other survivor games, but they have increased the pace and added a mechanic with gear drops, which smooths out the curve and actually makes builds possible. All in all it’s one of the top survivor games i’ve played. I would place Vampire Survivors (because of the huge amount of content) and Halls of Torment (because i absolutely love the style) above it, but for me DRG:S is a solid 3rd place (and i’ve played quite a lot of bullet heavens)

Cronos: The new Dawn, it has a great Dead Space feeling. I’m not far yet, but i like what i’ve seen so far.

and Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor has hit 1.0, so if i’m looking for something to play without having to think that’s my goto this week.

Exactly. Blocking out ads wherever possible is the only way to not be influenced by advertising. At least it helps to know that one isn’t immune to it. That helps to counteract the effects somewhat, but don’t count on it if you aren’t actively keeping your defenses up.

Everspace has silos like that, but many games have stuff that is similar. We definitely need a bit more info here. Also, like @iamthetot@sh.itjust.works said, !TipOfMyJoystick@retrolemmy.com is the correct community for that.

I realized that when i tried to cheat on a test in school, that when i prepared a cheat sheet, i didn’t actually need it afterwards - that only applies when writing the sheet by hand.

The russian mafia is nothing new, and to be honest, that scenario is still better than what we have now. at least they just try to survive then.

Release the Epstein files, and since they won’t need it anymore, transfer Trumps and Elons Cash to me; afterwards start a looooooong list of cash transfers to everyone NOT in the Epstein files. I hope i don’t age while time is stopped, because that might take a while. While i’m at it, go down the list of Top 100 richest people and fucking do it again. Keep a respectable sum for myself, but only in the “me and the closest to me will never have to worry about money again”-region, not more.

Steal Denuvo’s encryption keys.

Defenestrate Putin (and Medvedev just to make sure the war ends), then pull the same move in Israel. Personally slap every Russian and IDF soldier who willingly went into war.

Destroy all the North Korean artillery and rockets aimed at Seoul and place notes in front of SK politicians informing them about the new situation.

Dismantle the surveillance networks - all of them. Let every Citizen know how much information their state had about them - except for Cartel/Mobster types, those i put on skateboards like cardboard cutouts and let them ride down a steep hill into prison gates.

Do i still have time left?

OP, this statement is bullshit. you can do about 5 million requests for ONE flight.

i’m gonna quote my old post:

I had the discussion regarding generated CO2 a while ago here, and with the numbers my discussion partner gave me, the calculation said that the yearly usage of ChatGPT is appr. 0.0017% of our CO2 reduction during the covid lockdowns - chatbots are not what is kiling the climate. What IS killing the climate has not changed since the green movement started: cars, planes, construction (mainly concrete production) and meat.

The exact energy costs are not published, but 3Wh / request for ChatGPT-4 is the upper limit from what we know (and thats in line with the appr. power consumption on my graphics card when running an LLM). Since Google uses it for every search, they will probably have optimized for their use case, and some sources cite 0.3Wh/request for chatbots - it depends on what model you use. The training is a one-time cost, and for ChatGPT-4 it raises the maximum cost/request to 4Wh. That’s nothing. The combined worldwide energy usage of ChatGPT is equivalent to about 20k American households. This is for one of the most downloaded apps on iPhone and Android - setting this in comparison with the massive usage makes clear that saving here is not effective for anyone interested in reducing climate impact, or you have to start scolding everyone who runs their microwave 10 seconds too long.

Even compared to other online activities that use data centers ChatGPT’s power usage is small change. If you use ChatGPT instead of watching Netflix you actually safe energy!

Water is about the same, although the positioning of data centers in the US sucks. The used water doesn’t disappear tho - it’s mostly returned to the rivers or is evaporated. The water usage in the US is 58,000,000,000,000 gallons (220 Trillion Liters) of water per year. A ChatGPT request uses between 10-25ml of water for cooling. A Hamburger uses about 600 galleons of water. 2 Trillion Liters are lost due to aging infrastructure . If you want to reduce water usage, go vegan or fix water pipes.

Take deep, slow breaths and be mindful of how the air flows through your body when you think you might cry - train it beforehand.

Keep telling yourself that you are now communicating facts and what you say is not personal - maybe have a little trinket, and every time you take that trinket in your hand you know that now is “fact-time”.

Those things help me when situations get emotionally difficult.

Rumors (which are even on Wikipedia) say it’s Robert Del Naja from Massive Attack, who started as a graffiti artist. Bansky told interviewers that he was inspired by Del Naja.

or it is an additional layer, like: its fake news so we don’t have to investigate -> it can’t be denied anymore -> we investigate forever so we don’t get targeted by israel and the gang
