- Comment on Can’t upgrade your PC to Windows 11? Buy a new one, is Microsoft’s laughable solution 5 weeks ago:
Mine too. I tried 11 and went back to 10. Honestly, only thing keeping me on Windows currently is my plex*arr servers. Guess I have a year to figure out docker.
- Comment on Kroger executive admits company gouged prices above inflation 2 months ago:
Why break them up when you can just let them get bigger. I’d bet my job the fucking merger is still happening.
- Comment on California Votes To Approve $150K In Taxpayer-Funded Home Loans For Illegal Aliens 2 months ago:
Assemblyman Joaquin Arambula (D-Calif.), the author of the bill, has claimed that the legislation would still require applicants to meet federal requirements, which includes providing either taxpayer identification or a Social Security number, both of which are things that illegals are generally not supposed to have.
So which is it? Helping illegals get a home, or helping those that are legal according to the federal government?
- Comment on Current best lemmy clients 2 months ago:
Same. But mark read has been broken for a while and at $20+ for no ads or ultra dev really needs to be on top of these updates to justify the price. My ultra expired a few weeks ago, but I’m not paying again unless he stops treating this like reddit. Reddit was pretty stable so didn’t mind the long gaps with no updates. But at 5x the cost …update
- Comment on No Rest for the Wicked - The Crucible Update Trailer 3 months ago:
Its currently on sale. Recent reviews haven’t been as good as initial ones though. People are mentioning it has wait mechanics like mobile games where it takes like an hour of real time to do something. I’m still interested in it, but will probably wait for it to get out of early access.
- Comment on Netflix mulls introducing free ad-supported tier. The circle is complete 4 months ago:
Depends on whether they start making shows with ad breaks in mind. Because the cut where the ad was, while not nearly as annoying as an actual ad, still diminishes the quality of the show imo.
- Comment on Suicide Squad Cost Warner Bros. $200 Million In Revenue 6 months ago:
So basically the single player offline game made bank, but they keep pushing this live service crap thinking it’s going to be the next GTA online and not what 90% of the live service crap ends up being.
- Comment on Independent auditors confirm top VPN doesn't log your data 6 months ago:
If you need to ask, you probably don’t know enough to keep yourself anonymous. But it starts with tails, tor and not doing anything stupid like reusing user names that you use on the clear web or signing into something like Facebook. If a nation state has reason to find out who you are, they most likely will. All it takes is one little mistake that you most likely didn’t even know was a mistake.
- Comment on Can homeless people be fined for sleeping outside? A rural Oregon city asks the US Supreme Court 6 months ago:
Great idea. But jails are expensive, you have guards and such you have to pay. Maybe a small house, like a tiny one. Where they can come and go, and maybe find a job and start paying taxes.
- Comment on Face masks made ‘little to no difference’ in preventing spread of COVID: study 7 months ago:
Masking and other precautions killed a strain of the flu. bloomberg.com/…/covid-killed-yamagata-type-b-flu-…
Imagine, if there weren’t so many anti maskers and vaccine deniers we possibly could have killed covid as well.
- Comment on The deepest sinkhole in Florida has a deadly secret. Here’s why you should stay away 7 months ago:
So why should I stay away? Is it because a couple of divers dies? Or maybe because it’s on private property and you aren’t going to tell me where it is. But how do I know where to avoid if you don’t tell me?
- Comment on $70 titles are doomed to go “the way of the dodo” says Saber Interactive CEO 7 months ago:
I have ads blocked everywhere, so I don’t know if BG3 had traditional advertising. I do know they focused a lot on the voice actors with YouTube stuff like them playing table top D&D.
- Comment on $70 titles are doomed to go “the way of the dodo” says Saber Interactive CEO 7 months ago:
The article doesn’t really say pricing will go up. Just that the current AAA $70 isn’t sustainable. Even says he doesn’t want to sell their next game at $70, but is afraid of it being perceived as a lower quality game if cheaper. I think hellblade 2 will be a good test if a cheaper game price is seen as a negative. Personally, I loved 1, with their AA idea. Which is just AAA quality, in a shorter length. After the first hellblade, I was really hoping we’d see more high quality games releasing at different price ranges. Seems only indies, really move away from $70 though. I just beat immortals of avalon on ps+, and I think that would have been a perfect example of a game that should have released at $40. It wasn’t worth $70, but was a pretty fun experience for the right price.
- Comment on New Quest apps will be unable to support Oculus Quest 1 headsets from May 7 months ago:
I have a rift s and was already fed up with Facebook so wasn’t buying a quest anyway. This just confirms that Facebook sucks and will not be the headset I get next. Hopefully the psvr2 pc support is actually coming and works well.
- Comment on 32°N’s liquid-lens sunglasses transform into reading glasses with a swipe 7 months ago:
Cool tech, but $850. Makes me wonder though how long before vr tech makes it to prescription glasses. A pair of glasses that can eye track where you’re looking, determine the distance of your focus and adjust the prescription to be able to see clearly at all times would be awesome.
- Comment on Sony Reportedly Pauses PlayStation VR2 Production to Clear Backlog of Unsold Units 7 months ago:
I agree that the headset needs to work on pc. That’s what has kept me from buying one and sticking with the rift s currently. But the ps5 game wise is so much better than the Xbox. There’s no reason to buy an Xbox if you have a pc. Sony has quite a few excellent exclusives. They’re starting to come to pc as well which is nice, but they’re still on console first and not everything makes the jump to pc.
- Comment on Skull And Bones is Ubisoft's "biggest open world" and cutting the campaign was vital, says former creative director 9 months ago:
“Building a solo campaign is really time-consuming,” Pellen comments in the piece. “We didn’t have the full team to deliver a full solo campaign.” She later adds: “Instead of working on a solo campaign that would have prevented the team from creating a really deep open world, we built lore that can be consumed like a puzzle in the order you want.”
Lmao. One of the biggest publishers in the business can’t create a campaign in the 10 years this has been in development. So sounds like pirate themed destiny without a story.
- Comment on DC AG infuriates residents after saying city 'cannot prosecute and arrest' out of crime crisis: 'Madness' 9 months ago:
And it’s being portrayed as we should stop arresting and prosecuting criminals, instead of what what meant. Which I quoted, and was on the posted article.
- Comment on Commercials Are Streaming’s New Norm, and Creators Aren’t Happy: “It’s Almost Worse Than Broadcast” 9 months ago:
Oh I know. Having issues with my plex server, so I’m currently subscribed to Disney/Hulu, Netflix, paramount & max. Paramount is straight trash, so many issues. Max won’t save my play history half of the time, one show it won’t even put in the continue watching section so I have to search for it every time. Shouldn’t have to deal with all this crap when you’re paying for it.
- Comment on DC AG infuriates residents after saying city 'cannot prosecute and arrest' out of crime crisis: 'Madness' 9 months ago:
“Prosecution, however, by definition, takes place after a crime has occurred, and to truly make the District safer, we need to focus on stopping crime before it happens in the first place,” he added. “Prevention efforts cannot replace effective policing and prosecution, but are equally necessary in order to make D.C. safer now and in the long run.”
Typical conservative spin. Take a sentence out of context. And then get enraged.

- Comment on [deleted] 9 months ago:
My YouTube use is going down because the algorithm absolutely sucks now. I went to the gaming tab 2 hours after the state of play and it was nowhere to be found. But outdated years old crap was being shown.
But never had any ad issues with ublock origin or revanced.
- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg says Apple and Google should manage parental consent for apps, not Meta 9 months ago:
They’re probably the most installed application worldwide. Definitely the most installed social media application worldwide
Of course they are. Facebook comes pre-installed with no way to actually uninstall it. Image

Still annoying, but hit back and restart the episode. So far that’s caused it to start without the ad for me.

- Comment on File size preference for Radarr? 10 months ago:
In the profiles? Not sure if that’s the correct term, but there’s settings for all the quality profiles 720p 1080p etc with a slider that can set minimum and maximum size for that quality.
- Comment on Final Fantasy XVI Is Getting Two DLCs And One Of Them Is Available Now 11 months ago:
I beat the game. It killed any desire to finish the rest of the side quests/hunts. And I’m mad that everything that you get from the hunts requires a sword that got surpassed ages ago in the game, with no way to get it back or any hint that you might want to hold on to outdated gear that was worse than what you had.
Basically, in order to craft the best gear, you have to do hunts for material. But you also need that sword. No hint not to sell it. And no way to buy it back. So no reason to do the rest of the game as you can no longer craft the reward for doing so.
- Comment on Final Fantasy XVI Is Getting Two DLCs And One Of Them Is Available Now 11 months ago:
Have they made a patch to let you require the worthless sword if you sold it before realizing it’s needed to craft a better one? Because I lost all desire to play at that point.

- Comment on [Survey] Can you tell which images are AI generated? 1 year ago:
10/20. I thought I got the photorealistic right, but the first 2 I got wrong. The back of the bench being different on the girl with a drink made me think Ai. I still don’t know how that is real, bokeh can’t explain that difference.
