What game is improved the most by mods?

  • I'm not sure its fair to say "most improved" but I do believe that Deus Ex is a game everyone should play, but I do not believe it is truly playable without some content mods to get the game running properly on modern hardware.

    Twitter US ad sales plunged 59%, and internal forecasts are grim, NYT reports

  • There still isn't a great competitor for access to certain groups that I followed on Twitter (i.e. legal analysts and real time local news). Thankfully, many of them have migrated to Mastodon, but there is still a bit of a gap and a lot of people are still pointing back to Twitter. I blame inertia more than anything for those groups remaining and it will take some more time for them to fall off of the platform.

    That all said, I left the platform after Musk started banning journalists and the flight tracker and I've not really missed it at all.

    Tell us about unpopular games you love, or even just appreciate some aspects of, contrary to the inteenet hivemind?

  • I played a bit of Outer Wilds but I got lost and then stopped paying for XGP. I should pick it up next time its on sale somewhere.

  • When I played Obra Din, I got vibes of Tacoma and I wish someone would take another shot at that style of game in space with the depth/mystery element of Obra Din.

    What the hell are Digital Humanities?

  • There's been a lot of effort in creating intersectional degrees between CompSci and other fields. Yes a CS could do the analysis work, but they likely do not have the humanities driven education to construct the requirements for the analysis. Developing intersectional training can help develop a better bridge of understanding between the research design (i.e. the requirements) and the analysis or experiment design (i.e. the implementation). It's been a while since I was in school, but while I was leaving, this intersectional/interdisciplinary approach was growing in popularity, which led to the development of these sort of joint or dual degrees such as CS & Astronomy or Biology or Journalism.

    What the hell are Digital Humanities?

  • According to the Wiki entry, beyond what KelsonV said, it also includes using digital techniques in the scholarship or analysis of humanities subjects. I imagine using generative models to explore how language develops in early societies or use audio analysis tools to study folk music.
