I saw my wife playing this years ago, and always fancied having a go, but never got around to it.

So a few months back we got it going so it could stream to our Apple TV and off I went. Spent a few weeks playing it in the evenings and having a nice time.

Then Ubisoft put out an 'update' to it, that broke it completely. A massive update for a ten year old game. Cunts.

So I guess I'll never finish it, because fuck Ubisoft.

This is magnificent.

Morning Champions, and welcome to another week!

What's floating your boat right now?

For me, having spent a massive chunk of yesterday sat in the sunshine in the garden playing No Man's Sky, I'm rocking the 65daysofstatic soundtrack.

I've been a huge fan of this band for a good number of years now, but kinda missed this when it came along, because I wasn't then able to play the game for whatever reason. There was a part of my brain that told me that there was no point listening, as I'd be missing much of the context, which turns out to be a load of bollocks. It's a great record on its own terms.

I love fixing up classic iPods, and as much as I enjoy it, any mention of it comes with "but why?", then the person asking refuses to understand why I still like using iPods even in this time of streaming music.

"Look at that subtle off-white colouring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my god, it even has a watermark."

I disagree. Linus shooting from the hip and making himself look an even bigger ass is incredibly entertaining.

Perhaps, but I see it as indicative of the problem in general. A slapdash attitude where they don't pause for a second to consider what they're actually doing, which, you'd think they might try and do under a 20 minute video where they grovel and scrape and beg forgiveness.

Big shout out to them leaving the links to LTT merch in the description. Venal fucks.

[-] DJDarren@beehaw.org 55 points 1 year ago

It's not just "YouTuber drama" though; LTT have positioned themselves as The Grand Knowledge on all things tech, so a good number of people turn to them for recommendations. And their recommendations are questionable.

As per the title, I downloaded this game, have added it to my Gatekeeper exemption and disabled SIP and all that, and even though it's added to Steam as a non-Steam game, all I get when it loads is a message saying "Steam not found, please start through Steam client".

Does anyone have any ideas?

that (mostly) just works.

As a Mac user since 2007 it feels like that statement gets a little less true every couple of years. But for me it’s still light years ahead of Windows when it comes to my workflow.

When I joined Mastodon in the November migration, I wondered why media organisations weren’t spinning up their own servers. Give all the journos an account on that server and there’s your verification right away.

Remember, decent people Never buy The Sun.

Huh, and I've never even used Windows 11...

Personally, I'm continuing my efforts to not be a racist piece of shit.

I know there are a couple of apps already in development, but I kinda want to have a go to learn how to build an app in Swift. So what are some good resources to learn?

I don't know whether this is the right place to post this, but I figured you fine folks might get something from it.

Thought I'd see who's about and whether we could get a thread going on music recommendations from what we're jamming today.

I started off with The Presidents - Dune Buggy as an ear worm, which was very much agreeable.
