Thanks for that replacement mini crossword recommendation, I’ve only done today’s but I really like it already!

Yeah I’m with you, the only time I had fun playing Dota was back in the day when I was playing with friends who weren’t toxic. I know it’s not the only game with that problem but it’s a shame!

Just to add to this, I also like to use the “donate for a friend” option to gift friends a donation to Signal on their birthdays. It’s also $5 but a one-off thing, they get a neat badge for 60 days and perhaps it raises awareness of the donation option a little bit!

Thanks a lot for sharing this! Decky plugins often break after a Steam OS update, which is understandable, but a bootloop is more trouble than I’m looking for right now…

Thanks for the heads-up! For anyone that’s confused like I was, turns out this is the same game as Bloodborne Kart, just changed enough for legal purposes. Considering it started out as an April Fool’s joke, it seems really high quality so far and I’m appreciating all the Bloodborne references!

Wow, thanks for setting that up! Just ordered an A4 print :)

Could you accept a world where someone does it intentionally as a joke?

I really like this! Do you sell prints anywhere online or anything like that?

It seems that Spotify doesn’t accurately count plays for tracks under 30 seconds. I had a look through some of the albums I know of with short tracks and here’s what I found:

• Humanz - Gorillaz / Most popular track: 214m plays vs 11 second interlude: 1,185 plays
• Absolution - Muse / Most popular track: 259m plays vs 22 second intro: 32,174 plays
• California - Blink 182 / Most popular track: 158m plays vs 16 second track: 42,616 plays
• 3 Feet High and Rising - De La Soul / Most popular track: 12m plays vs 17 second track: 1,117 plays
• The Eminem Show - Eminem / Most popular track: 1.9b plays vs 22 second track: 42,050 plays

In fact I found the MGMT album 11​•​11​•​11 has a 26 second long track with no reported plays.

So while it’s probably true that people are listening to fewer full albums than they used to in the days of vinyl or CD, it seems more likely to do with Spotify only paying royalties on tracks over 30 seconds and the discussion surrounding that.

Am I blind or are none of these actually offered by Proton themselves?

I’m glad this is being brought up. As the article mentions, one of the affected games was the Ghost Trick remaster which received a 5.6GB update with no explanation. It was only through data mining that people realised Denuvo was removed in favour of Enigma.

The worst part for me is that Enigma lives up to its name and people have been left guessing about where it’s coming from. Some people think it’s Capcom’s in-house DRM while others are linking it to some Russian company with the same name that Capcom may have partnered with.

As I understand, this DRM has already been cracked so it’s not even stopping people who want to pirate the game. On the other hand, I love Ghost Trick and I wanted to buy gift copies for some friends over Christmas but this move really put me off.

Yeah I’m not sure if they’re in a different region or something but Slay the Spire is also definitely not < $2 for me - I wish it was!

I think we’re looking at the same video then, the one with less than 10,000 views after 24 hours. Yeah that video isn’t a real trailer, it’s just using recycled clips from the first film and guessing what might happen in the second one

I have no idea what the context for the photo is but I assumed they wanted their printed paper signed

You’re right about the sequel being announced but do you have a link to the trailer? The only videos and articles I can find still seem to be speculative.

Looks like this is the smallest ever at just over 10,000! Bournemouth is second smallest at 11,000.

Pretty sure it’s a joke based on the way the headline was written which makes it ambiguous whether the 12 year old was in the forklift or whether the police chasing him were in the forklift.

Oh I see, that makes sense. Sorry that I interpreted it differently based on the post!

I don’t mean to be rude since this seems like a good script and it’s really cool that you were able to get ChatGPT to help. I just find the idea of people writing code they don’t understand using an LLM, publishing it, and then expecting someone else to check that it’s safe a little bit troubling. Credit to you, you’ve been transparent about that being the case but it got me thinking about other developers who might not be so upfront.

I believe that’s the fediverse logo in the middle!
