YouTube’s anti-ad blocking test gets even pushier with a new timer
  • Honestly I'm surprised they haven't done so already, they already have the tech to do it, probably need to scale it a bit.

    Now I wonder if there aren't SFW videos in pornhub from people that want to upload videos but don't want to use YouTube. Or NSFW video that aren't really porn, like a random guy reviewing videogames naked for some reason. I'm not checking either.

  • Are ranged weapons just worse than melee?
  • I don't think they are worse, they just do less damage. A lot of the value of ranged combat depends on the map layout, if there are places to take cover, choke points, difficult terrain. And also it requires coordination with the rest of the party to be very effective, if everyone grabs a ranged weapon they can shot at enemies while they get close, then switch to melee when they are in reach.

  • ‘Flying aliens’ harassing village in Peru are actually illegal miners with jetpacks, cops say
  • I'm pretty sure you can get a jetpack nowadays if you have enough money. I have no idea if it's legal to use it though.

    Also flying cars is a stupid concept. And we have had the better equivalent for ages, they are called helicopters. And you can also get an actual flying car nowadays if you have enough money...

  • What god do you think will die?
  • Most of the core deities are in Starfinder, so I think we can discard them. Maybe they get revived or Starfinder is an alternate timeline but I'm not going to assume that.

    That leaves 9 deities: Erastil, Gorum, Gozreh, Irori, Nethys, Norgorber, Rovagug, Shelyn, Torag.

    I think some of those have explanations of why they aren't in Starfinder. Torag I remember reading is guarding Golarion, wherever the planet is. Rovagug is either The Devourer or still inside Golarion. Gozreh is specifically a Golarion deity, so he/she is almost certainly still there. Erastil really doesn't fit Starfinder setting, so I think he is still around, but probably the people that worship him are not traveling in starships. Gorum and Nethys seem to be like weird choises to kill off, I don't think they are part of any current storyline and I can't really see the god of magic that knows everything dying, same with the god of war though he might enjoy that. Similarly with Irori and Norgorber, I don't think they dying would be dramatic enough.

    So my bet is on Shelyn, it will probably involve Zon-Kuthon. And we already have the perfect replacement for the deity of art I think, Nocticula.

  • Bards are Baldur's Gate 3's best class and I can't imagine playing it as anything else
  • It's not a problem for a videogame, but D&D5e (actually most D&D editions) is not a balanced game at all. In fact the only RPG that I've played and would call balanced is Pathfinder 2e.

    So I was not expecting Baldur's Gate to be balanced at all given it's based on D&D5e.

  • The Irish Light: Woman abused by paper which falsely said vaccine killed her son
  • I know, I was pointing out that it sounds like a total fantasy. I actually don't believe people actually believe all that stuff, but it's up there in yankeeland so what do I know.

    I understand why conspirancy theories are popular, it is fun to me to think about them. But I don't believe and the few interactions I had with conspiracy theorists online make me think they are all hard trolling or insane.

  • Google taught me it's OK to be evil
  • It makes sense though. People can already install Dolphin wherever they want, including the Steam Deck. But Valve probably thinks they can get Nintendo to publish on Steam. It wasn't so long ago that Sony and Microsoft maintained exclusivility on their platforms. Valve doesn't win anything allowing Dolphin on Steam, but it can potentially anger Nintendo.
