  Can’t beat them for games that require low latency input though. Just playing retro games on them is worth owning one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not trying to disparage first responders on 911. Why aren't nurses included with fire and police departments? Did we not take care of people on the backend of the rescuing?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What about all the people that breathed in that toxic cloud or injured themselves trying to run away from the chaos? Surely many of them ended up in hospital.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did I used to be homophobic? Am I?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  People are allowed to ask honest questions and IMO this seems like one. If more people exercised self-reflection like this we might live in a better society.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good news. :)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Whatever you say, pal. -eyeroll-

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good news. :)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I love when people throw around the idea of Canadian provinces just being up for grabs, as if we want anything to do with what’s going on south of the border.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good news. :)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Russia would love that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"This is the first:" The 16 year odyssey of "time, money, wrong turns and frustration" it took to finally emulate the Pioneer LaserActive⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This was a great read. What a monumental effort to emulate that device. The perseverance is inspiring, honestly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, you can store data on a bird — enthusiast converts PNG to bird-shaped waveform, teaches young starling to recall file at up to 2MB/s⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Who on earth is gonna shoot a starling for food?

  Have you seen starlings? They can fit in the palm of your hand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The family of teenager who died by suicide alleges OpenAI's ChatGPT is to blame⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some shit is just straight up poison though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teen killed himself after ‘months of encouragement from ChatGPT’, lawsuit claims⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You hate to say it because you know this is a ridiculous take. There’s no fucking way that the parents are “more at fault” for their son’s death than the company whose product encouraged him to hide his feelings from his parents and coached him on how to commit suicide.

  Read the lawsuit filing. cdn.arstechnica.net/…/Raine-v-OpenAI-Complaint-8-…

  *I have excellent parents and even they were not privy to the depths of my emotions as a kid. * You are actively choosing to ignore the realities of childhood as well as parenthood to play some shitty devil’s advocate online.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If copyright on a work expired immediately after death, would be that a bad or good idea?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm. Interesting idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamers Nexus big story about GPU smuggling got taken down.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Louis Rossmann has commented on the situation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RJvrTC6oTI

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER - Launch Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m glad they re-made the worst entry in the early era of the series and didn’t fuck with Sons of Liberty. That game is literally perfect. MGS3 is tedious AF. Still fun and better than a lot of games, but massively overhyped. Also, worst fucking camera system in the history of gaming in the original PS2 version. Truly atrocious.

  I hope it turns out well, but I still doubt that I’ll play it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wyoming launches first state-backed stablecoin on seven blockchains⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If we settle for slogans, we are going to get our private parts sucked into a toilet at 34,000 feet.”

  Amazing intro.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When I run out of stuff to see on Lemmy, I touch grass. Simple as.

  I feel way more in control of my online experience when endless scrolling isn’t possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perplexity AI is complaining their plagiarism bot machine cannot bypass Cloudflare's firewall⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re the outlier, I promise. People are literally forfeiting their brains in favor of an LLM transplant hese days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks! I’ll disconnect my Linux drive when its time to accept Microsoft’s shitty upgrade.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you dual boot off the same drive or have separate drives and this issue occurred anyway?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit will block the Internet Archive⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same here. I’ve been better off ever since.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sons of Liberty is the most cohesive entry in the series IMO. Best story too; prophetic, really.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Shouldn’t it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Survey for July 2025 shows Linux approaching 3%⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Add Nobara to the list too!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gamers have you ever been in a game competition or something similar?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I played in a Halo 2 tournament at my local theater when I was a kid. Got second place. Won a wristband 👍

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some games with absolutely fantastic soundtracks?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Hyper Light Drifter’s soundtrack is truly a masterpiece. Same guy did FEZ too; another excellent soundtrack.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Drummers covering other drummers is a very popular scene on Youtube. Check out Alex Rudinger to start and just go down the rabbit hole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you worried about your child’s screentime? Get a landline⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I love how on the internet all it takes for someone to call someone a shit parent is a mild difference of opinion.

  It’s just 0 -> 100 at the drop of a hat. Its fucking hilarious to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Substack app sent a push notification promoting a Nazi newsletter to several users.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I saw last year’s North American eclipse in the path of totality. I know what you mean. It is very strange.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Substack app sent a push notification promoting a Nazi newsletter to several users.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d chalk that up to the assumption that a cloud has partially or fully obscured the sun. If clouds weren’t a thing, we’d be much more sensitive to light changes as they wouldn’t be a part of our outdoor experience.

  I’m not checking to see if the sun is still there every time the ambient light outside dims, y’know what I mean?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people hate coldplay?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  iHeartRadio is a cancer. They’re just consolidating everything like Ticketmaster did with venues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Restaurant Uses AI for Menu, Accidentally Describes Appetizer in Way So Disgusting That We May Never Recover⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do we need to start review bombing sites that are doing this similar to how review bombs happen on Steam?
