- Comment on What If History Had Taken a Different Path? 1 day ago:
Couldn’t agree more. Consoles not being upgradable is the reason why I exclusively play PC games.
It’s no surprise that the 32X failed; I don’t know what Sega was thinking when they decided to go back to a sound chip after everyone already got used to PCM audio with the Sega/Mega CD. I think if the Sega CD was delayed long enough to add a 3D accelerator, they could have canceled both the 32X and Saturn, dropped the upgraded Mega CD in 1994 for $249, and absolutely dominate the 5th gen before the PlayStation ever got a chance.

Start a fake restaurant and then order directly from Sysco.

lol more like 0.1%
Lemmy has 50,000 active users. Reddit has 50 million. We have a long way to go before there are enough people on here for niche communities to become a thing.
- Comment on If you're still on Reddit... 5 days ago:
Not quite there yet. Not until niche communities rise up and become commonplace.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 5 days ago:
The GPU has less than 10% the CUDA cores of a 4090, a GPU that can’t hit 120 FPS in most modern games @4K without DLSS. No way in hell will the Switch 2 hit 120 FPS @1080p, not without some extreme DLSS upscaling and some serious graphical compromises… Proper RT is completely out of the question.
This thing won’t even be able to keep up with the PS5, a 5 year old console. It will compete with the Steam Deck, however.
That said, I miss the days when Nintendo cared about graphics. But at this point it’s been over 25 years since those days. That’s almost as long as it’s been since I last enjoyed a Mario or Zelda game. Between all this and the fact that they sue their fans, I am so done with Nintendo. I feel like I’ve outgrown them anyway.
- Comment on AdNauseam is a uBlock fork that goes further: it actively attacks marketers by auto-clicking every ad before blocking 6 days ago:
Tell me how, then, because I don’t know how to get around the font thing. Everybody’s computer has a different set of fonts, and blocking browsers from seeing what fonts you have installed would help identify you even more.

- Comment on Another 122.88TB SSD just launched and this one comes from an obscure Chinese startup you've probably never encountered 1 week ago:
Yeah but how is that not China’s fault too? Americans buy cheap products from there because China pays their employees pennies.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure that just about everyone on Lemmy originally came from reddit.

I’m surprised that the loss of 3rd party apps almost 2 years ago wasn’t the final straw for y’all, but either way I’m glad you finally made it here.
- Comment on how do they decide where to put bus stops? 1 week ago:
OP you should play Cities Skylines 2 (the original is good too if you have an older system). Then you can design your own bus routes and learn for yourself. It seems like the kind of game that would be right up your alley.

The shut down Facebook? All of it?
Or did they simply block it in their country?
- Comment on Samsung CEO Han Jong-hee Passes Away At 63 2 weeks ago:
Even though Apple lost that lawsuit, Samsung most definitely did copy Apple back then. And this is coming from someone who has never, and will never own an Apple product.
Quite a lot has changed since then. These days Apple products feel extremely outdated, with their square watchfaces and embarrassingly large camera notches and whatnot. It’s embarrassing when compared to modern Android devices.
- Comment on Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today 2 weeks ago:
Dude, VR has been affordable for over half a decade now. Get with the times.
- Comment on Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today 2 weeks ago:
There’s a no VR mod in the workshop but don’t bother because without VR this game is nothing special.
- Comment on Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today 2 weeks ago:
I feel like most people who sing praises for Alyx only do so because it was their first VR game. (a lot of people bought a headset just for it.) It’s decent game, but without VR it’s nothing special.
Sucks that VR is still a niche product, despite it being an obtainable consumer product for almost a decade now. When the OG Rift and Vive first dropped, I imagined it being as popular as traditional gaming within 5 years. Yet here we are 9 years later and we still don’t have epic, 50+ hour AAA experiences in VR because hardly anyone owns a headset. Every VR game feels like an indie title.
- Comment on YSK that if you lose your Social Security Card (USA) more than 10 times, the Social Security Administration will have to, by law, refuse to issue anymore replacement cards, for the rest of your life. 2 weeks ago:
They upped the number to 10? Last time I had to replace mine (about 10-20 years ago), the limit was set to 3.
- Comment on Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind? 2 weeks ago:
I always hated the “cowardly” argument.
Who gives a flying fuck what others think? Fuck that egotistical bullshit.
Do what you can to survive. That’s more important than worrying about how brave others think you are.

I’m not an artist so I haven’t touched one since college. Why write, when typing is faster? Even a phone keyboard is better than a pencil. Plus you have the benefit of never worrying about losing what you wrote down.

For more accurate/representative research data.

I haven’t been in school in over 18 years, but thanks for the suggestion anyway.

If that were the case, I would imagine that they would have picked a website with a much larger user base.
