Gaming@beehaw.org•Former WoW devs announce new studio: Fantastic Pixel CastleEnglish
3·2 years agoHonestly the dungeon finder is super helpful to people like me who have a small amount of time to play. I think they should have treated it like Raid Finder though and had it give lesser loot to encourage doing it properly.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Xbox's new policy — say goodbye to unofficial accessories from November thanks to error '0x82d60002'English
2·2 years agoGiven it’s advertised on Microsoft’s page for the Adaptive Controller I’m going to guess yes.

U.S. News@beehaw.org•A Black student was suspended for his hairstyle. The school says it wasn’t discrimination.English
22·3 years agoGreg Poole, who has been district superintendent since 2006, said the policy is legal and teaches students to conform as a sacrifice benefitting everyone.
“When you are asked to conform … and give up something for the betterment of the whole, there is a psychological benefit,” Poole said. “We need more teaching (of) sacrifice.”
Fuck right off with that. Your appearance (so long as it’s not designed specifically to distract) is yours. We have minimal ways of expressing ourselves and that is one of them.

Science@beehaw.org•A disturbing number of TikTok videos about autism include claims that are “patently false,” study findsEnglish
2·3 years agoIt does not “intervene” in their Autism so much as it forces them to appear more neurotypical, and a study from 2018 suggests that it actually creates PTSD symptoms in the patients
That actually explains so much about me holy shit

Gaming@beehaw.org•Are there still any solid, updated minecraft modpacks around?English
5·3 years agoIt’s not a pack with very many mods similar to IndustrialCraft or BuildCraft (which I adored) but I do enjoy how it gates the progression and my girlfriend and I are addicted to running the vaults in Vault Hunters (Third edition specifically) https://vaulthunters.gg/

Technology@beehaw.org•Microsoft to Drop Support for Third-Party Printer Drivers on WindowsEnglish
6·3 years agoYeah and there was a whole privilege escalation exploit because of that, get system level access whenever you plug in a Razer peripheral because you could open a powershell window from the “Choose where to install” prompt.
I’m honestly surprised that made it past as many layers of checks as it did.
I think it was heavily implied to be nukes in the books but never explicitly stated.
The gardens were above a station that was abandoned though, so bombing it wouldn’t do as much as if it was right over an active station.
I only ever did one thing for a science fair and it was dropping an egg in a box with varying materials to see what protected the egg the best.
Nothing protected it very well.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Bethesda Is Changing The Way You Pickpocket In StarfieldEnglish
1·3 years agoI unironically liked it more than when they added NPCs, it was a story about how everyone in the area either fled, died, or turned into a monster while you and your friends from the vault opened up and went out, figuring out what happened as you accidentally your way into different factions kept alive by robots.

Technology@beehaw.org•Netflix kills Basic plan, making its cheapest ad-free tier $15.49
1·3 years agoYep! The Plus/Pro line is the good shit. The base models of WD drives are not great now, especially if you’re going to set up a RAID array of some sort.

Technology@beehaw.org•Netflix kills Basic plan, making its cheapest ad-free tier $15.49
1·3 years agoThose would be the SMR drives, if you don’t want that you’re looking at about $84.

9·3 years agoYou can get refurbed drives for under $50.
New ones that aren’t white label (which, nothing wrong with that) for 4 TB are about $100.

Technology@beehaw.org•Reddit communities with millions of followers plan to extend the blackout indefinitelyEnglish
26·3 years agoStuff’s already starting to go back to public, I expect nothing to change for the better.


Wow there is no reason to be that rude with your “you might be somehow new…” comment, that was uncalled for.
