  • The Witcher III is currently on sale for 3€ until 25th May

  • First two are collections of short stories so there is no big time invesment with testing it out. You can try the waters and see how you like the style and if you don't like it enough to continue, at least you have a book that works on its own.

  • My wife has this meme for when someone tries to shame her for me liking to play video games and build Legos/Gundam models.

  • Nah. My wife also tries to remember the games I play and sometimes almost succeeds like this. This is close enough from a non-gamer wife

  • Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer

  • Yes, but them not calling it out in the article makes me thing this is not the case here. If it would be done locally, it would not be as bad. But I somehow doubt it would be.

  • Yes, books came out some years before games. I think around late 80s/early 90s. My understanding is in Poland even people not usually into fantasy know of the books. And it is a classic in the surrounding region.

    Games are fairly faithful to the books, at least in spirit. There are some problematic things lore wise that they did in games but I can understand why with most. No adaptation can be 1:1 and I understand it. Overall, I'm happy with how the games ended up.

    First game, I didn't like that much though. One thing is that the age is showing on the gameplay. I could get over that, but the story also recycled too many things from the books. The main story is its own thing, but there are many story beats that felt copied, with some things changed up to mask it. Pretty sure some sidequests were just stories from books, but with diferent characters. I like a good callback, but this game went a bit too far with them for my taste (also didn't help I read the books just before going into the game - so it was all fresh in my mind).

    Story wasn't bad overall, but it broke the immersion and I just couldn't get over it. This in combination with the aged gameplay just made me look for a recap and play the Witcher 2 instead.

    Stoked for the announced remake of the Witcher 1 though.

  • I'm a huge Witcher fan and couldn't stomach the first game unfortunately. Luckily there is a neat recap video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X52-ssOk2KM

    I do recommend playing the second one before the third though, even though the stories are standalone.

    I do recommend the books if you feel like it. Books -> Witcher 1 recap vid -> Witcher 2 -> Witcher 3 is my recommendation for best experience.

  • Article doesn't state this but I assume this is done via Copilot, so anything you use it on goes direct to Microsoft cloud, right?

  • Trump and Putin hold phone call but Kremlin refuses Ukraine ceasefire

    Jump

  • The other bloke also said he won't invade in another phone call so...

    With this one we can at least be fairly certain he tells the truth.

  • Knees are somehow better than they were in my 20s. My back however is killing me.

    Driving a manual: is it difficult?

    Jump

  • Since they say they will be giving you a quick lesson... might be allright. It will most likely need some time to get used to it but you might be fine. See how the quick lesson goes? They might show you around the neighborhood for you to then drive around yourself and get used to it a bit.

    It will be a whole another thing to keep in mind so be extra careful with your driving probably

  • In alpha I think? They have a playable version afaik, but not released, no. Can spend thousands on virtual ships tho

  • Edit: YSK that Today is the deadline for the European Citizens' Initiative to ban conversion therapies and THE THRESHOLD HAS BEEN REACHED but you need to keep signing if you haven't already!

  • I mean... yeah, I know, but conversion therapies? In 2025? Might as well apply leeches to cure flu

    I'll tell you - average user just doesn't know about it. And doesn't know the benefits.

  • I shit you not, I heard both of these mentioned as potential AI uses on one introductory AI training at work.

    Not back to back so unfortunately it wasn't a joke.

  • Is it possible to listen to artists who are terrible people without feeling guilty?

    Jump

  • I mean... technically, yes, we all do good and bad stuff.

    But you can't say Hitler was a good person just because he was against animal cruelty. I don't think any person out there is cartoonishly evil to a point they never did anything good - that doesn't make those evil persons not evil.
