- Comment on Warcraft 1 & 2 Remastered Editions Now Available 3 days ago:
The upgraded sprites look like mobile game rejects.
Succinctly put. I feel like the original vision did not intend for them to look so cartoonish. While limited by the 640x480 256 colour pallette display, they still represented a more serious design.
Starcraft 1 remaster looked so better, too. Was that done by the same team?

Thank you for the clarification. That was a very risky click.

So did someone f**k a costco rotisserie chicken and this is how I’m learning about it?
- Comment on Worst examples of Treknobabble 2 months ago:
Almost anything involving the space-magic Enterprise D dish between the engine nacels:
Need more power? Modify the main deflector and divert power from shields.
Space anomoly? Bombard it with tachyon particles from the main deflector.
Need to modulate frequency of phaser array because a borg cube adapted to your weapons? Use the main deflector to send a resonance pulse and overwhelm their shields with a flood of positronic particles.
- Comment on Sony is taking Concord offline on September 6th after disastrous launch 2 months ago:
Woooow.
I wonder what this development holds for Sony’s future of live service games.
I’m really hoping Sony re-invests in smaller projects and Studios. I really miss the Twisted Metal series and smaller games like Fat Princess.
A six-year project on a trend is way too risky, when these trends change so fast.

LOL. This meme goes way back, doesn’t it? I vaguely remember it from early 2010’s.
- Comment on Nah, I'd win 4 months ago:
I’m so proud of the Lemmy community for starting to reject the stupid assed, lazy Loss meme.

- Comment on Alex Jones' Infowars to Be Shut Down, Assets Liquidated 4 months ago:
Does this include his own home and/or other properties as well? If it’s just his business assets then what is there besides his name and show? Hopefully substantial funds in the bank, assuming they weren’t shovelled off shore.
I can’t imagine his stock of bullshit supplements are worth much anymore.

Got a new windows 98 gaming PC
You weren’t kidding. It actually looks brand new!

- Comment on Taylor Swift deepfakes on X falsely depict her engaging in election denialism — and have been viewed millions of times 9 months ago:
For what it’s worth, I doubt these videos were “viewed” millions of times. X tracks even a 1-second automatic playback as a view, such as when someone slowly scrolls past on their feed. Every other service typically counts treats that as an impression.
- Comment on $300 Vision Pro developer strap is just an expensive USB2 device 9 months ago:
Aren’t they really paying for a dev license and support? Can they develop for the apple vision without the device?

I don’t get it :(
May you elaborate?
- Comment on Google has agreed to pay $700 million in an antitrust settlement with U.S. states and consumers 10 months ago:
That’s the real headline right there. This is huge news, and hopefully opens the door (or re-opens?) to eventually opening up Apple’s ecosystem.
I understand the merits of Apple’s case with Epic and why Apple prevailed, but it still seems like a big part of their market dominance was not properly attributed to their mind share and sheer momentum, and not entirely due to their service and product quality.
Sorry if thats unclear, typing on mobile and will try to expand that thought later.

Yea, eventually the sour smell of garbage overwhelms the sweet taste of member berries.
- Comment on Detective Grimoire returns as Tangle Tower devs announce submarine sequel 11 months ago:
Is this still the same detective grimoire from the old flash games on Newgrounds? Created by The Super Flash Bros., if I recall correctly? Are Dan and Tom still involved?
I’m at work but will try to google this further layer, lol.

Let’s cut back on the Ricks as well, while we’re at it.
- Comment on 'Corrupt' cop jailed for tipping off pal to EncroChat dragnet 1 year ago:
I must confess I started to google “Forearms UK” thinking it’s some foreign expression I never heard… At which point I was reminded how close ‘I’ and ‘O’ are.
Damn forearms indeed.
- Comment on Any idea what Google are doing? Is this because I dont use Chrome (use Firefox)? I've no adblockers. 1 year ago:
You blocked the blocker and that worked?? Lmao.

I prefer A Date with Tom
- Comment on What Cloud storage solution do you swear to? 1 year ago:
Yea, at my job its an uphill battle with automating OneDrive’s maintenance and security. There are consistently new failure types and event IDs that I have to update the event viewer client reports almost as often as I run the audit.
But for personal use, particularly since I’m already so familiar with the service, I can’t say no at that price.
- Comment on What Cloud storage solution do you swear to? 1 year ago:
I can only speak to price and compatibility as key values, but I’ve been endeared to OneDrive, specifically from the Office365 family plan.
For about $100 a year (USD), you’re given six Office365 subscriptions that includes 1TB of storage each. A good value even if you don’t care about the office suite itself.
As a bonus OneDrive is supported on iOS and Android for photo backup. I use that to protect some family members’ phones and keep an extra account as added storage for myself.
It’s also handy for streaming and sharing your media: Doesn’t require account registration and has good download rates.
- Comment on Microsoft expected to finally buy Activision Blizzard next week 1 year ago:
Just remember that with game pass growth, more attention will be put on the xbox ecosystem overall, including the xbox marketplace app. So I’m not sure games are more likely to go to Steam than before.
- Comment on Magic man 1 year ago:
This artwork is absolutely incredible! But I don’t understand the comic, lol.
- Comment on Amazon Prime Video is able to remove a video from your library after purchase. 1 year ago:
Lol.
There might be something else going on, because my YouTube feed was recently bombarded with a bunch of clips of Superman 2 Richard donner cut.
