Ooo, another Ubisoft game I can not spend my money on. Always enjoy a chance to financially give them as much of a middle finger as I can

- Comment on The Most Loved Digital Audio Streaming Platforms. 1 month ago:
Made the switch to Tidal, and I only have a couple nitpicks: no console app and it does this weird thing on desktop where it plays a split second of paused music when other apps or windows are opened. They’re small things though, and I’m happy to be supporting artists more.
- Comment on PC gaming fan Steven Spielberg says he "can't do controllers," prefers keyboard and mouse 1 month ago:
They have left-hand hardware that has a thumb analog stick and a bunch of mapable keys. Problem is getting games to use “controller” functions like analog sticks and mouse functions at the same time. I haven’t tried it myself, but apparently most games don’t have a way to recognize and use that as a keyboard function
- Comment on Balatro is now out on Mobile. Humanity is doomed. 1 month ago:
Fun game. I don’t usually go in for card games, so I ignored the hype, but this is a good one. Got to ante 4 a few times over the last couple of hours before rng killed me. I’m sure I’ll get my money’s worth out of this one
- Comment on Who is your favorite video game developer? 1 month ago:
Arkane and Remedy are the two that stand out at the moment.
Redfall was a pretty bad indicator coming from Arkane. But if they get their act together and go back to games like Dishonored, they’ll be back on the good list. Keeping them up here out of hope. They make fantastic games when they’re allowed to.
Remedy just always puts out bangers. Control is how I found them, and I love their style as well as the obvious amount of love and work put into their universe. Still need to play AW2, but I’ve only heard good things about it. They’re not everyone’s cup of tea, but they are mine.
- Comment on The age of wood 3 months ago:
This does have real implications in dendrochronology. If you were to take a beam from a structure built hundreds or even thousands of years ago, you can use ring spacing along with climate records of the area it was cut down in to determine when it was cut down, which will tell you the approximate age of the structure (and as a result, the tree). The rings can reflect events such as floods, fires, droughts, and periods of rapid growth, so if you can match those up with climate records and known samples, it works out the way the graphic describes.

It is a video. Lemmy clients seem to be broken for some videos and gifs, I have no idea why. This one works for me, but some others don’t
- Comment on I should be banned from using microwaves 4 months ago:
See, that’s the thing. I still can’t tell if you’re talking about several buttons, or if you’re talking about buttons located in parking lots. You’re saving a miniscule amount of time at best.

This. It would have to be set as relative to something, why you would define that as any object not Earth or on Earth is a mystery to me
- Comment on My opinion on Bone conduction earphones 7 months ago:
I think they were saying that if you’re not super skinny, you ought to test them to make sure they work for you before buying them. Super skinny people can safely assume they would have good enough conductivity and could buy without testing with more confidence.
Not my opinion, never tested these.

- Comment on I have attempted science. 7 months ago:
Looks like they put off the science fair project for too long and had to throw this little number together the weekend before. Been there, I still remember mine: what genre of music will cats like? Hypothesis: classical. Result: hard rock. Sampled 4 cats over 5 genres, took an hour. Methodology was crap. Sample size was crap. It was a non-experiment that scraped a “you tried” grade

- Comment on You Can Now Design A Fallout-Themed Xbox Series X/S Controller In Design Lab 8 months ago:
Checked it out, being pretty excited.
It’s just the face plate. They may have added D-pad and analog colors, but those are the only things that change. The Brotherhood one has red. The Mutant one has olive green. But if you’re not a fan of the white Vault Boy case, you’re not missing out on anything.
- Comment on Ticketek ‘glitch’ appears to re-sell fan’s $659 ticket for Taylor Swift concert — “They said, ‘someone else has it, we don’t know who, we can’t check or track who has your ticket’” 9 months ago:
As someone who just tried to get a hotel near a concert, it won’t work like that. The hotels know there is a show in town and price accordingly. When I tried, rooms that were typically $75-$150 per night were at $400-$1000 per night. I’m talking Hilton and Marriot all the way to econolodge and motel 6, all raised their prices by 5-10x. Anything I found that was decent was an advertisement for a general price. Then you try to reserve and they say “Oh you wanted it for THOSE nights? The price is $700 a night for those nights.” Even though I clicked on $125 a night search results.
Ended up renting an RV for 4 days and parking it at a cheap rv place. Still cost over a grand after everything.
The rates you mention are… ridiculously foreign to me. I cannot even conceive only dropping half a grand and having somewhere to sleep for a whole week. Not saying it doesn’t happen, but not near me for damn sure.

- Comment on The Fallout TV series trailer certainly looks like Fallout, except for that one cyclops 11 months ago:
Girl got scared by a tumbleweed. Camp incoming for sure.
I’m holding out hope as well, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it failed for the same reasons Cowboy Bebop’s adaptation failed: campy, tone-deaf, 1-dimensional writing and straying from the source material too much.
But I really hope I’m pleasantly surprised.

- Comment on SanDisk Refutes Claim That Faulty Hardware is to Blame for SSD Failures | PetaPixel 1 year ago:
Is it bad that I recently bought the SSD in the picture? It is, isn’t it.
It did behave oddly when I tried to use it to move a coworker’s data, but that coworker always has weird difficulties with tech so I just assumed. Now I know it’s just SanDisk going downhill. And that my knowledge of tech companies’ reputations is probably 10 years old.

Good. I like Remedy, I don’t want to see them falling into the freemium, microtx-littered, cash grab trap. Just let me pay for the game and be done with it.
