  My financial present is pretty fucked too…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite Pokémon Game?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember playing Blue so much as a kid, I would hear the MIDI based music whenever I closed my eyes.

  So glad we finally have the room on the carts for different music for each region/dungeon/route, but there something quaint about only having a half-dozen musical bits per game.

  I love me some organ music.

  There’s a video game called Stellaris that uses it, and I find myself pausing the game, just to zone out to that ethereal sound.

  Damn, didn’t know he died. The headline should be:

  Omega factor artist Tomoharu Saito lost a leg, and then his life, due to working on the game

  For me, it was the lack of support for certain Wi-Fi cards. I had to pull an older Wi-Fi card out of an old Chromebook, because no flavor of Linux supported the card that came with the (Windows 11) laptop. And guess who has two thumbs and no Ethernet port…

  Finally got it working, but at one point i was almost willing to have a USB tether to my phone, just so i wouldn’t have to fight with windows anymore.

  “Just Jeeves it” doesn’t quite roll off the tongue…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I ethically use LLMs?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The only “creation” I’ve tried to do is a cover letter for job hunting. If I needed something other than a resume, portfolio AND references, then I see nothing wrong with using one to do work that another ai is going to look at… Just my $0.02

  “freedom of speech” means the government can’t arrest you for your views. It doesn’t mean the rest of us have to listen…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit plans to lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says | Reddit executives also discussed how they might introduce more ads into the social media platform⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Whenever i search for a problem now, most of the posts that contain actual answers are more than a year old, and increasingly out dated.

  Fortunately, Lemmy is tech savvy and small enough that I can ask questions without worrying about the down vote brigade.

  I’m imagining an LA noir style section involving the lasso of truth (?). And i haven’t seen the movies, but watched reviews, and there seems there might need enough upgrade paths to ramp up the combat elements. Maybe she gets with Batman to upgrade her suit?

  Hell, even a tomb raider style origin story might work, if they don’t skimp on the writing team.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This was Likely Recently Auto-Installed on your Phone.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, found on my phone yesterday.

  It also claimed that i was part of the beta program, which is probably how they back-doored it in, so make sure you leave the beta program to keep it from coming back.

  When I beat Grim Fandango.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the origin of aliens looking like humans? Why and when did it become the norm?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One of my favorite trivia bits from Deep Space Nine;

  In order to have a bustling station with weird, exotic, new aliens, the production team took to mixing up alien makeup appliances. A Cardasian neck ridge, with a Klingon forehead, maybe a fish-species mouth, paint it all a different color and baby, you got an alien stew goin’.

  I like the ones with the multiple, positionable, lamps. You can aim the light.
