The shining. I watch it every year at the first snow. I’m afraid I won’t get that chance this year.

check on your boomer relatives. is it just me or can any other people immediately tell an AI photo because of the lighting and Depth of field is always wrong? Like it’s always off.

Memmy is my favorite. cute name. Memmy for Lemmy

Her Morrowind high elf cosplay is impeccable though

I’m nostalgic for Ubuntu when it still had Unity as default, and Linux mint around 2014. That’s when I began coding, and that’s the time I liked the look of them more than the current modern offerings. Plus there was more ease of customization it felt like

Neither does Memmy for Lemmy. Plus it has a cute name

people are shitty

Yeah I guess I should revise my statement. I haven’t paid the full 60-70 price for AAA game in a very long time.

Indie games seem to be priced more fairly, most of the ones I’ve bought tend to be 20-25 dollars.

And I’ve never bought any kind of special edition, unless it’s an older game and it comes with all the dlc bundled, like oblivion GOTY edition or something.

But I’m also a /r/patientgamer so I don’t really see a reason to buy something just because it’s new and shiny, unless it’s some kind of multiplayer. But most of them have become such a quick burn where the player base drops after a year when the hype train moves to the next stop, I don’t really see the point in buying them

I’ve never paid full price for a game. Not in a very long time. And I don’t buy transactions. 🤷

Yeah I really hate how gamer culture has changed. It’s non stop bitching. Yeah there can be bugs in games, it happens. Lmao you telling me there were no bugs in the games I bought on disk twenty years ago and there was no infrastructure to digitally update them? I’ve got boxes of old pc games that I can use to prove this is just something that happens.

People act like there are nothing but bad releases anymore but 23/24 have had phenomenal titles. I’d say this is a great time for the industry as long as you’re not stupid enough to buy micro transactions and $150 collectors editions Lmao

I’ve always wanted a game that I could pilot from the planet to space and we’re here

I prefer launch no man sky to what it is now. Sometimes you don’t need a hundred features and multiplayer in a game. Sometimes you just want to calmly explore the universe and feel alone for a bit. Not have a million things to do and pop ups . I have enough of that in my life and other games

What I’ve seen from the average person, torrenting safely is for techies and most aren’t bothered with the effort of it. It’s a low hurdle that most people don’t want to waste time on. Building a local collection takes a shit ton of time. I’m currently rebuilding my music collection to roll my own music streaming server and I’m questioning the time value. But I’m sick of music I like getting deplatformed due to licensing

I bet it’s for the National industry, fake tech support call center scams and other places. A lot of them pretend to be in America. That and generally a lot of developers there fake their location.

I like just good old gnome terminal. Theming scripts work well with it, like the gruvbox one that has like a hundred color themes. it’s got all the right features. just works

Currently, I have 3 DEs installed that I use regularly. Cinnamon, i3, and Unity. Cinnamon is for retro themes, and Unity is for a modern mac look after tweaks. and i3 is just nerd porn

I’m holding my judgment on AI assisted content. I already feel ai writing and image generation is still shitty, I’m less interested in something more complex like a video game.

Also, my 20+ years in the workforce has taught me that large and small companies suffer the same exact problems and both are greedy. Ai will be used to not hire workers, but to increase worker output , not lighten their load.

I trust indie companies to maybe make better content, but I expect them to rip off workers.

Not that I’m defending EA. There’ve ruined so many franchises.

No

Do you have android or Apple? I was the only one with an Apple. Not saying they’re better, I’m just trying so see if there was a difference or if it was a software thing

I’ve never had TikTok, and i showered.

But I’m not saying it from a conspiracy angle, I’m viewing it from a huh, technology is weird sometimes angle. Or more like, I want to understand why from a technical standpoint.
