New Discord clone ("Harmony") with a suspiciously AI-looking website, a single contributor, and blistering development = AI. Took me a minute to find it but it looks like they were scrubbed from a few places ~3 weeks ago.

you looked thirsty :3

So, my group has recently tried Ignite the Depths demo, and now we're looking for something else to scratch that itch.

Most of the time 2-4 of us will play at once.

In case you haven't read the community name, it has to run on Linux, I don't have Windows installed and another member plays on Steam Deck. Whether the game runs through proton or natively doesn't really matter.

Our schedules don't match too often, and we usually use it to play TTRPGs, which means we generally don't play all at once, so a tens of hours long campaign would be hard to play without someone having to grind up or fall behind.

Suggested games don't have play too similar to Ignite the Depths, we find the combat too simple, but we're looking for RPG elements like classes we could choose before starting a run and level up on the way.
There was also not enough variety among the enemies and locations, bu Ignite the Depths devs will probably add them along the Early Access.
AFAIK we don't have any more strong combat preferences regarding tempo and pace, so we're fine with, for example, something closer to Dark Souls series.

We've tried playing with friendly fire on and off. Playing with it turned on was harder, but we enjoyed the additional communication challenge.

Any sort of in-game story end goal would be a huge advantage. It'd help a lot with bringing us back, and convincing me - the group's rogue-like hater. BTW if you'd like a deck builder rogue-like with a really good story, try Chrono Ark.

And now, the personal preferences you can treat as a bonus:

Me

• progress even on the worst runs
• flashy combat, as long as everyone can see what happens; I know it's hard to do in multiplayer
• low on progress-blocking grind
• core class gameplay doesn't change depending on the loot - see Loop Hero, you can focus on certain aspects of the class, but no matter what you pick, necromancer will summon minions to fight and tank for him

Member 1

• low price, short on money for the next month or two, but we'd rather wait than waste our time on a mediocre Free to Play
• magic restricted to certain classes, low availability of elemental weapons and such (might conflict with Member 2's preference)

Member 2

• loves magic, more = better (might conflict with Member 1's preference)

Member 3

• likes dragons - they didn't express it, but I know them well enough I included it

Other people have not specified any special preferences.

One game we've found interesting, but haven't bought yet, is Elden Ring Nightreign. Seems to check most of the boxes. Still, more options to choose from would be nice.

She usually won't put up with being covered by anything, but today she was so comfy in her position that she stayed put after I carefully put my "don't sweat on the couch after post-exercise shower" towel down 😁🥰🥰

Despite massive investments and widespread hype around artificial intelligence, the technology has delivered zero financial payoff to corporate America outside of tech.

Revenue per worker is rising for the Mag 7 but is flat for the S&P 493. Profit margins are rising for the Mag 7 but are flat for the S&P 493.

And there are still no signs of AI boosting productivity growth. With no impact on the bottom line, mainstream corporate America is pulling back and starting to view token spending not as a source of growth but as a cost center that weighs on margins.

Former President Barack Obama on Saturday seized on what he described as cruelty and indecency coming from President Donald Trump and his Republican allies, stepping into one of the nation’s ugliest midterm fights as he worked to rally Democratic voters in two Midwestern battlegrounds.

First in Ohio, Obama took aim at Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, who has doubled down on an advertising campaign featuring the estranged mother of Democratic rival Dr. Amy Acton. Trump and Vice President JD Vance have also defended the ad, even as Republican leaders across Ohio, including Gov. Mike DeWine, have called for its removal.

“As an economist, I understand productivity; people lose jobs when technology changes. But the valuations of these AI companies are literally based on the assumption that hundreds of millions of people will lose their jobs and employers will buy AI services instead of labour services.”

Dr Denniss said that while much of the attention was focused on the technology itself, he was more concerned about the broader economic consequences.

“What is the ATO’s plan? What are the state government plans?” he asked the committee.

“Again, all that money that Anthropic is betting on is coming from somewhere, and that’s going to have very real consequences for individuals, for communities, for the economy, for the way Commonwealth budgets are drawn up.”

Dr Denniss also challenged the argument that Australia risked being left behind unless it rapidly embraced AI, warning that national security concerns should not be used to justify an unrestricted rollout.

I am watching VHS tapes with ffmpeg and piping it into MPV with ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i [my video card] -f alsa -i [my sound card] -c copy -f nut pipe:1 | mpv -. The reason I'm not just playing the video and audio stream off of my capture device is because I want to be able to adjust audio delay in real time with MPV hotkeys. This works well so far. Now, I want to grab the stream from another computer on my LAN. How do I do that? I've been thinking of sshfs, but I can't mount the capture card. Should I stream into a file on the server which I then mount on the client side with sshfs? If I did that, I'd have to delete the file that my command created every time I watched something, no?
