Yep, it lives up to the best of what immersive sims set out to be. You have point A, point B, and a million ways that you can go about getting from A to B

To me, Ctrl Alt Ego is not well known enough. It is an immersive sim in the style of Prey. You play as a robot roaming a station, where your Ego (like a spirit) can pass into and control all sorts of objects to solve puzzles, evade, control or kill enemies. The graphics aren't impressive (it was made by a 2-person team) but the gameplay is so interesting and the story is surprisingly compelling and funny!

If they did that, anyone could spin up an instance and start just fabricating votes and there'd be no way to know

I think part of the motive is to make brigading harder (show if users or bots are colluding to vote things up or down)

this is shitpost 5d chess.

20,000 people are playing it at a time. Not exactly a secret. The way they're testing this game is radical and newsworthy in itself. I'm glad Verge reported on it, and they don't seem mad they they were banned

LTT posted a do-over video with Stefan. He seems like a decent guy. Have followed him since then. https://youtu.be/QKzmYsySGFQ?si=AlEpsycL5ifF3RxD

It's a tease for shareholders desperate for more and more elaborate ways to squeeze a few more cents per user

I have been liking Boost because it has a nice tablet app!

I have to set literally everything up again on a new microSD for my Pi because the apt-get repositories no longer support the Raspbian version I'm on. I'm not mad; good for security to update, but I don't have half a day free anytime soon for it.

Also the safety was statistically worse for the most part

I think it probably breaks even and fits with their strategy to abuse everyone until they pay for premium
