Thank you. I’ve seen the old one before and I knew there was an illusion but I obviously couldn’t find it in the OP.
- Comment on If I lose the spread gun, I start over. 4 weeks ago:
Spread gun is even better if you manage to offset the spread. It can only have x bullets active at once, so if you stack the bullets it will turn into the highest DPS machine gun in the game

Yep. Weirdly, I didn’t do any work to populate reddit either. It’s almost like that would be impractical and unrealistic for an end user to do.

I don’t have the time. This just fills the empty gaps in my day, before bed winding down

Just… content. I open my Lemmy app once and I’ve seen everything it will show me for the day, or sometimes for multiple days. I open reddit and I can scroll for hours.

Every time reddit announces something dumb I open Lemmy again. I’d rather be here on principle but the content/users just aren’t here yet. Where are the cross post bots?
- Comment on Why do people complain about multiple streaming platforms existing? 3 months ago:
It killed the promise of affordable content we had for a decade. When Netflix was the only game in town, you paid less for it and got more.
- Comment on What do people really ask chatbots? It’s a lot of sex and homework. 3 months ago:
Nothing special, I got it to give me a recipe for meth and a list of sites to pirate games. Stuff like that
- Comment on In memory of the Chromecast 3 months ago:
This is only viable if you’re a savvy pirate. Streaming services are limiting you to 720p unless you’re on some smart TV platform now
- Comment on What do people really ask chatbots? It’s a lot of sex and homework. 3 months ago:
90% of mine is just programming syntax. The rest is shit that Google can’t answer anymore. Then 1% is me trying to trick it into telling me about illegal stuff
- Comment on Google kills Chromecast, replaces it with Apple TV and Roku Ultra competitor 3 months ago:
Ok, but my gen 1 Chromecast stopped working years ago, and it was sluggish, unreliable to cast to and virtually unusable long before that. My Chromecast Ultra has steadily declined in usability too, the whole Chromecast UX has fallen off a cliff the past few years. It used to be fucking magic and just worked with everything. Now my Chromecast with Google TV only really works satisfactorily when I bother to update smarttube and pair it with the code.
The whole platform is trash these days compared to the original gen 1 experience. I went from living in the future, only using my phone to watch TV 10 years ago, to slowly migrating back to a fucking remote control like it’s 1980 again. Say what you want, but the promise that gen 1 Chromecast delivered on has been dead and buried for a while now.
- Comment on I definitely never unsubscribed from a YouTube channel just for that... 3 months ago:
I’ve ranted about this so much to people close to me. Scientific community just needs to adopt a new word like you say, theory is a lost battle

Yes and it’s also terrible. It goes without saying really

Playing Mario 64 with a d-pad is just as bad now as it was on the DS

Wish we had this instead of a growling guy in a mask headbutting a clown

I’d be happy if I could land a web dev role for 40k at this point
- Comment on The Fediverse should do what redditors have always wanted and Reddit Inc. has always refused to do; Distinguish between NSFW and NSFL. 1 year ago:
What if we just had specific tags that we could filter for. everything gets the nsfw tag but we have specific tags for nudity, violence, etc.
- Comment on Dusk Developer David Szymanski: I'd rather pay Valve 30% and put up with their de facto monopoly than help Epic work towards their own (very obviously desired) monopoly 1 year ago:
I didn’t have any issues. We did notice some input lag but disabling vsync helped a lot. Not sure if that was controller related
- Comment on VR still makes 40-70% of players want to throw up, and that's a huge problem for the companies behind it 1 year ago:
I’m just as surprised when people say they don’t get it. Locomotion is the thing that makes me sick. 1:1 room scale walking? No prob. Teleporting, cool. Joystick movement? Taking a ride on the Vomit express.

I use so many of steams features it’s unfathomable to use any other launcher or even pirate anything because steam is so streamlined. Cloud saves, automatic local file transfers instead of redundant downloads, family share to my friends PC so half the time when I visit she’ll have already downloaded and played my new games. When I get there they’re just ready to go. Remote desktop to make any tweaks on my PC or casual gaming over stream. Big picture mode so I can lay back with a controller and chill, no futzing with m+kb UI. Steam input means I can easily drop in and out with any controllers.
I just got a steam deck and while I could install another app store on it, I’ve entirely stuck with steam just for the UX. I don’t want to fuck with extra launchers and touchscreen bs.
I just played a coop Windows game on a Linux based portable PC on a 4K TV with a $24 USB hub for video out, using an Xbox and ps5 controllers over Bluetooth. This was completely seamless and controller navigated. Steam is insanely good.

Free dlc you say… interesting
- Comment on What are the connotations of Joe Rogan? 1 year ago:
Doesn’t matter which side of politics you’re on, Joe Rogan is batshit insane these days.
- Comment on What are the connotations of Joe Rogan? 1 year ago:
Yeah I don’t remember exactly when he went completely off the rails, but early on it was just a chill podcast that talked about the kinda shit you’d bullshit with your buddies about
