Easy, live in a civilised country, get yourself a !chronicillness@lemmy.world and you can retire early. And on top of that you get the fun of !chronicpain@lemmy.world and being a burden on your whole family.
- Comment on Could you explain to me why you like silent hill 1? (Spoilers) 5 days ago:
As far as I’m aware (I only played one Silent Hill, Shattered Memories) the series really took off with Silent Hill 2.

But. Have you considered that it might be depression or that those kids are just lazy?
- Comment on Why do people see me as far older than 19 when I type the way I do sometimes?/Why do people think full stops are rude? 1 week ago:
Well, I only know that people who don’t end their sentences properly sound like rambling idiots.

Posted this the last time I saw this article, but it seems to be even more relevant for this video.

- Comment on Just started playing Life is Strange 1 week ago:
Don’t bother with the latest game in the series Double Exposure. It plays like a lazy cheap cash grab.
But the same devs as the original also recently released Lost Records: Bloom & Rage that’s supposed to be good. It’s similar but not officially part of the series due to rights issues.
Same with Tell Me Why, which is free every pride month. Personally I found it to be boring but others seem to like it.
- Comment on Spamassassin for Remote IMAP 1 week ago:
Nowadays rspamd is used instead of Spamassassin. Maybe that one has tools to do what you want.

- Comment on Mid games review: American McGee's Alice (2000) and Alice: Madness Returns (2011) PS3 1 week ago:
I always liked the idea of these games more than the games themselves.

Adding the US to Canada would drastically increase the number of awesome countries.
- Comment on It is weird to see the voice actors from long-running shows having aged because their characters look and sound the same as they did a decade ago. 2 weeks ago:
The Three Question Marks is a very famous radio play in Germany. Nowadays the original actors perform live on stage. With such nice additions of the narrator saying “he ruffled his thick curly hair” and the actor gently rubbing the bald actor’s head.

- Comment on Valve have just updated the Source 1 SDK on GitHub to the latest code based on Team Fortress 2, effectively making TF2 code source available 2 weeks ago:
Damn, Valve going against fan projects is really weird. Especially considering that most of their biggest games are former mods. And they let just about anyone do something in the Half Life universe.
- Comment on Getting a Steam Deck to emulate retro games? 2 weeks ago:
It has been a literal lifesaver. Long COVID has tied me to my bed and with the Deck I can at least keep playing games.
- Comment on Getting a Steam Deck to emulate retro games? 2 weeks ago:
It’s just a PC with integrated gamepad. Almost all emulators work on Linux as well. It’s even powerful enough to run Switch games. I’ve emulated everything from C64 over general Mame, PS1 and up to Switch.
The only “suboptimal” thing is that it doesn’t have the best button layout for N64 and Sega consoles. Still Starfox 64 was a lot of fun.
ScummVM and DOSBox also run great. And I love that I can easily configure the controls to play adventure games with one hand on either side.
Honestly, there is hardly anything it can’t do.

You can probably find a “rotary phone” that sends sounds instead of pulses.
Or an even older phone with an AI powered operator.
- Comment on What do you think about centralised clients? 2 weeks ago:
You kind of point out the problem. Which instance should be the default? Some would say lw, but you already discounted that.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Using Lemmy has nothing to do with political views. Supposedly there are some right wing instances that just don’t federate with the rest.

- Comment on Teenagers turning to AI companions are redefining love as easy, unconditional and always there. 3 weeks ago:
Teenagers aren’t stupid. They’re playing around and masturbating. They know it’s not real and they still want to touch each other.
Call me when sexbots are here.

Isn’t there a new UI in the works for the 1.0 release anyways?

- Comment on What's up with lemmit.online? 3 weeks ago:
You’re right, it mirrors stuff from Reddit. I use it to get news from niche communities. You can request communities to be mirrored. Blocking it is the correct move, when it has nothing for you.
