I love MCC, but I don’t like competitive FPS games at all. I’m in it exclusively for the campaign, and occasionally custom games. That said: playing any FPS with a controller is an incredibly frustrating experience. I know what I want to happen, but my hands can’t make it happen.

Yeah! I really like the combat in KotOR. It’s like a normal turn based CRPG, but faster.

Vimm’s Lair probably has whatever PS3 games you want- google should find that site easily. I have no clue on DLCs- I don’t think I’ve ever emulated a PS3 game that had DLCs so I can’t really help.

RPCS3 is very user friendly as far as emulators go so you might be surprised with what non-techie people can do with it. AC4 multiplayer is listed as compatible with RPCN so you could probably play it multiplayer, it’s just a question of actually finding people playing it.

As for Xbox 360 emulation: again, you can get files from Vimm’s but I’d suggest you let that cook. Xenia is the only 360 emulator I’m aware of. It definitely works, but it’s still in rough shape right now. Needs more time. I know OG Xbox emulators exist, but I’ve never looked into them personally.

I’ve never really understood the comparisons between Destiny 2 and Borderlands, honestly. I like both but my brain puts them in very different boxes. Same thing with Warframe.

I like them, personally, and there’s absolutely nothing else that scratches the “I want to play Borderlands” itch. The quality varies a lot by the game, though.

Has it not? I feel like 16:9 has basically won, with a consolation prize for 16:10

I think a double split end is a pretty great fit for mildly interesting? It’s not that it’s a split end, it’s that the split ends then split.

It’s mildlyinteresting, not roastme or haircare advice.

I actually have, it’s an extremely obscure Celtic god. I first heard of him in Smite, though.

That’s why I don’t really use them myself. I’m not willing to spread misinformation just because ChatGPT told me it was true, but I also have no interest in going back over every response and double checking that it’s not just making shit up.

Well, the primary thing is that you can ask extremely specific questions and get tailored responses.

That’s the best use case for LLMs, imo. It’s less of a replacement for a traditional encyclopedia- though people use it like that also- and more of a replacement for googling your question and getting a Reddit thread where someone explains.

The issue comes when people take everything it spits out as gospel, and do zero fact checking on it- basically the way that they hallucinate is the problem I have with it.

If there’s a chance it’s going to just flatly make things up, invent statistics, or just be entirely wrong… I’d rather just use a normal forum and ask a real person that probably has a clue whatever question I have. Or try to find where someone has already asked that question and got an answer.

This reads like one of the results on a personality quiz.

I’m not incredibly concerned with it- checking that was like the third time I’ve done that in the last six months. I only use incognito specifically to test if my extensions are breaking something or a webpage is just fucked.

What? Using Firefox? Or using incognito with no extensions?

Afaik, browser fingerprinting is pretty much unavoidable. Your best option is to just use the most generic setup possible. Alternatively, I’ve heard librewolf has some anti-fingerprinting options. No clue if they’re useful or that browser even works since I don’t use it.

Well that’s extremely neat.

Firefox. I used an incognito tab, and I have all extensions turned off since I mostly use incognito to check if they’re fucking with something.

“Calls Stalin a person of color” is a new one for me. Basically all of these require some mental gymnastics, but that one is extra wild.

Also, there’s a joke about “We can’t deny the USSRs accomplishments” and “Holodomor denial” being on the same bingo card but I can’t figure out how to phrase it.

Youtube doesn’t work when not signed into a Google account, or if one is connected to a VPN.

Youtube works fine without an account? I just checked. It also works fine with a VPN, again I just checked. Maybe this is a country thing, or something with your browser?

I watched a documentary about a guy that went undercover with a lot of alt-right crazies. Proper straight up 1488 neo-nazi types. The guy offhandedly mentioned that they did initiations and filmed recruitment videos… in the town next to mine.

It’s generally extremely Republican-leaning here, full on MAGA signs in lawns type shit. I still did not expect that. I’ve never actually run into someone that was a blatant Nazi. I think they just keep a lid on this shit in public.

I have met a few ‘just asking questions’ types, though.
