I started playing Ember Knights with some friends after seeing it on the Steam sale on a whim

It was a hit! I spent more time this weekend with this group of friends than I have in quite a while just running through the game.

At $7 and $14 with DLC that seems to double the content, it’s very much worth it for a game that’s basically couch coop “Hades at home”.

It also supports Remote Play Together fwiw, but we’ve had mediocre luck using it

I’m on the reservation list and still have not been able to make a purchase, don’t worry

I played a game of BTD6 right after making that comment

Tower defense games are super fun. Too bad they dropped off in popularity. I’m sure there’s more that could be done with that genre

You lost because not enough druids obviously

Goddammit maybe I’ll have to pick that game up again

That is… Certainly a strategy of all time

I mean I had an auto-refresher going anyway

If Supergiant has anything to say about it

Yes

All of them

Holy shit, I played this as a kid.

Thank you for the nostalgia trip, I’ll be grabbing a copy off Archive.org and trying to play it soon.

Fandom is home to some great wikis, if it wasn’t for some of the most aggressive, user-hostile advertising in the business.

I just don’t bother anymore.

Creating shareholder value

The hate comes from the people whose lives are being made materially worse as a result of the prominence of LLMs

They’re incredibly inefficient environmentally, causing companies to want to do nothing but build increasingly loud, power-hungry data centers.

They’ve only exasperated the K shaped economy we currently live in where the ownership class takes everything, and everyone else gets crumbs.

All the while LLMs produce misinformation, lifeless “art” and propaganda almost exclusively.

Machine Learning was useful, LLMs are slop machines that make everything worse.

This is America

We will own nothing and be happy

Also no, they still offer individual washes at places but they also offer a subscription service alongside them

My Bluetooth earbud did a low battery sound died as I was typing this comment

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Sadidas is a good Vorin brand

Ew. Fandom wiki

Oh I know

I’m a Windows admin for my job and it’s just a breath of fresh air to use my dialed-in home Linux systems rather than fighting the Spyware-as-a-Service that is Windows.

Feels so good to be able to update a system in 2 minutes and not need a reboot after.

The whole White Knights questline is fantastic for these with wonderful names like

“Sir Tiffy Cashien” who handles certifying new members, and “Sir Vyvin”, the quartermaster.
