Well thank goodness they have that ß character to help keep their street names so efficient.

Yeah, when my Lemmy server goes down I don’t want it to be because of a large scale cyber attack, I want it to be because some dude’s dog got the zoomies in the basement and tripped on a cable.

Not just tech illiterate but also advertising illiterate. The regular folks I know seem happy to wade through endless platform ads and influencer sales pitches. Enshittification can really be a slowly boiling frog type scenario.

It seems pretty consistent that any time I hear somebody mention Sharia Law, I am in for some horrible takes.

No anomalies detected in this case.

For me the 365 suite (including copilot) all works great inside Firefox on Mint. But I work in software so the other everyday stuff is pretty well available.

I assume some day I’ll need to boot back into windows for something, but it’s already Ben months.

Bethesda. Guys. Gather ‘round.

I really love your types of games. I admit I haven’t played through all of the most recent ones, but I’ve structured my PC builds around the Elder Scrolls series since Morrowind. I took 100 hours to play through Skyrim, then I took 200 hours to play through Skyrim VR. And you can tell business daddy that I even used a WMR headset to do it.

Your engine has enabled some great gaming experiences for me. I am not writing this comment to shit on your engine. Thank you for making it.

But we should all be clear with each other that to suggest it is “perfectly tuned” in any meaningful way makes you sound like you’ve lost touch with reality. I get that the dev tools and your process may be nice behind the scenes, but from the consumer side, damn no.

Ooh I still haven’t tried this. I wonder if it has any issues with Skyrim VR.

They’ll bury you in a lunch box!

I remember being so psyched about the original Serious Sam that I pirated a copy to play right away, and then bought a boxed copy as soon as I saw it in Best Buy.

Hype confirmed!

Oh you mean the Serious Sam series? Tons of fun!

Honestly at this point I’ll be surprised if we DON’T see openly employer owned & operated towns for employees.

Future bootlickers be like “TheY pUt A rOoF oVer My HeAd!!”

Yeah, unfortunately many people seem to default to complaining about things while continuing to consume what they are fed. And not change anything, of course.

XBOX Game Vault is now an exclusive bullet point for XBOX GAME PASS Ultimate!

Good forward compatibility with spec bumps might be a good way to sell people on new consoles without exclusives yet.

It was an exciting time when we finally passed the $1/GB mark.

And with steer by wire like in the cybertruck, they could fully disable it.

Or get a decent TV?

My LG oled has options to disable ads, and I never see ads when using the apps or the menu that launches them.

I still have a PC connected to the TV, but many of the TV’s apps do a good job.

Advertisements? Targeted to individual people?

Brilliant!

You know, I was just thinking that salt water is definitely what my last PC build was missing.

No wonder Terraria is so awesome, coming from people that are so awesome.

I think I disagree a bit. It is the owners of the companies that have no passion for what they do. They just want that particular position in their portfolio to appreciate or spit out dividends.

Then they put the MBAs in charge to get the most efficient use of capital.

American here, and I am totally OK with a tiny bit of extra latency if people & companies want to move their servers to some place in Europe that actually respects freedom and people.

Though I suspect that if you’re a US company with servers located abroad, they will still make the law apply to you since you control it.

YouTube music will not let you put a “for kids” marked song on a playlist! It kind of sucks for putting my KID’s favorite goofy songs on my KID’s playlist. The kid’s playlist that is composed entirely of content not marked “for kids” because that’s all that is possible.

The lethality of the world in 1&2 contributed to so many memorable moments in them, for me at least.

There’s something different about figuring out step by step how it is even possible to beat the enemy that wrecked your shit as soon as you walked into the room, versus grinding out a more typical battle. I’m not saying it’s better, or that BG3 has to be that way, but it is definitely a big part of this particular series for me.

For example, I have vivid memories of running into mind flayers, and fights with certain dragons, and the demogorgon, and Kangaxx, and even the first time getting to the gnoll stronghold.
