I'm here for it, my wishlist is approaching 100 games. My unplayed list is approaching a thousand though...

Anyone else thinks shes hot because shes doing cool stuff like flying and to that being brave as shit landing that plane like a pro. Not your average influencer making a makeup tutorial ;-P

Fuck it's so hard to see going that fast. The side eye head turn peripheral move is the only way to see. Her eyes were prolly watering till the next day tho lol.

Woot woot! Hopefully going to pick up Balatro on sale this weekend.

caut_R ,

Fantastic game. As an achievement hunter I shake my head a bit at the gold chip on all jokers thing, but for now I just see it as another excuse to play it more. I still feel like I‘m shit at the game though around 40 hours in.

delitomatoes ,

At the higher levels you realise the randomness is too much, not sure if they updated the starting rounds to have more player choice

Wouldn't it make sens to wear a helmet, with goggles and all?

These are extremely rare events. It would be like wearing a helmet in case your windshield fell out. Having some in the cockpit for emergencies could help, but I don't know if it would be possible to put them on while handling said emergency.

telllos ,

I get this, but race car pilot wear one. And jet fighter pilot also.

shadowedcross ,

Helmets can help race car drivers in crashes, if you're in a plane crash it's unlikely to help much. Fighter jet pilots wear helmets mainly for breathing at high altitudes (that most GA aircraft are incapable of flying at), as well as for things like an HMD.

@mesamunefire What are y'all going to buy in this sale? I'm thinking Space Tyrant, to satisfy my itch for a more laid back 4X focused on combat; the Metal Gear Solid master collections; and maybe some indie games below 15 bucks

caut_R ,

Unravel 2 and Styx Shardssomething, a friend and I need more coop games.

(Any suggestions are welcome, we might‘ve played a lot of them already though)

Planet crafter is supposed to have solid multiplayer if you like satisfactory style build/resource games.

Playing through planet Crafter right now with a friend and it's awesome and co-op

Donjuanme ,

Comparing the games in this video and my wish list, planet crafter apparently!

Pheta ,

I'm looking at picking up the Kingdom Heats bundle, since it recently came to steam, I'm not sure of what else though.

Habahnow , to Crazy Fucking Videos in Airplane canopy opens mid-flight

Anybody with experience want to talk about how/why this happened? Seems like part of the problem was the small opening on the right side of the plane. But I imagine its should be designed to not break so easily considering the use case. In addition, I'm surprised the canopy would open instead of staying locked.
Good thing this pilot didn't panic and was experienced enough to still safely land the plane.

hikaru755 ,

It's in the description of the video, the canopy locking pin wasn't locked and she failed to notice during visual checks

Oh my god the poor lass aged about 25 years from the wind blast

You either die a hero or live and watch yourself turn into a villian.

Tom's hardware, woot, and most recently donut media just to name a few. All were once the place to go, they all were bought out by bigger interest and eventually became the villian.

Donut - how? All the giga-sponsors they take lately?

They've been bought by an entertainment parent company, which is why the glut of sponsorships along with their content leaning towards pure entertainment instead of including educational and DIY content. Zach and Jeremiah started their own thing recently and explain in their first video.

I just saw their Big Time video! Glad those guys have the guts to do that.

They are just a crypto shill and a neoliberal. They don't care for liberation of humans, just for liberation of payments from government. They are a professional investor, I'd say this video is basically anarcho-capitalism in a nutshell. Some of the points they raise are valid, but many are not. For example, not being able to print more money in the government actually removes the ability to control deflation, and if governments can't print money, that's basically self-imposed austerity.

if you want to pay somebody on the other side of the world, crypto already lets you do that. There's no need to hype it up any more than it already is.

Also disingenuous to hype up bitcoin without bringing up the inherent environmental concerns.

@davehtaylor@beehaw.org avatar

Exactly.

Also far, far more often than not, when someone talks about "corrupt banking systems" they're about two steps away from quoting The Protocols.

It's all Libertarian/anarcho-captialist pablum, pushed by people who think society was a bad idea

One of the biggest misconceptions about bitcoin is that it's a neoliberal/libertarian thing. Thinking this way only shows lack of understanding.
A famous short video from the most respected bitcoin educator will make understand better.

And about the environmental concerns Lyn Alden has a post that deals with all the misinformation. If you are really interested take the time to read it, it's exhaustive.

PotatoesFall ,

I'm not talking about bitcoin I'm talking about the creator of the video. And their talking points are very much libertarian.

It's not even that their results suck, per se, but they straight up ignore most of my search query and focus on one or two words only. Obviously that makes your search results suck.

So the advantages of bitcoin are, that it is a market based deflationary money?

Does she not see what happens with unregulated markets?
They gravitate towards monopolies, which is why... we invented regulation and "corrupt officials".

Also deflation is way way way more dangerous than inflation, simply because each actors amount of money will start to become more and more worth. This in turn will lead to lower tendencies to invest in new technologies/products and therefor kill progress.
