- Comment on Dijkstra’s algorithm won’t be replaced in production routers 17 hours ago:
I’m personally of the opinion that we should always upgrade if the improvement is significant and the improvement actually gains us something beneficial.
Sometimes even a significant improvement doesn’t necessarily net you a real tangible gain. But often it does!

Or in layman’s terms, why fix what ain’t broke
- Comment on Discord roll out global age verification system, including an "age inference" model that runs in the background 2 days ago:
It’s easier to set up than a forum. I suppose. But messier.
A forum is much better suited for the purpose a lot of people are using Discord for.
They should be using Discord for voice chat and streaming, that’s what it’s good at. Use a fairly tool for what it does well. Not for what it does poorly.

I’ve been using sed recently to edit my lines. Quite cumbersome but it gets the work done.

Either way, I don’t know why, but if I don’t want to read email from a certain source, I just feel cleaner if I don’t receive them at all. Why receive shit just to put it in storage. Seems wasteful. It’s stored on actual hardware somewhere. Not a lot of course, but all them giggerbites add up yanowutumsayin?

Not a feature unique to Port87 of course. But yeah that’s one way or handling it. Or just click unsubscribe.

- Comment on Guitar technology 1 week ago:
The strings breaking is also inevitable even with a regular guitar lol. It just happens. And this guitar is even more prone to it. So definitely not a viable instrument lol. Fun little dangerous gag tho.
- Comment on Guitar technology 1 week ago:
Fun and dangerous experiment but of course not feasible in the long run.

No offense but I don’t enjoy the way you use commas. 🥲

Sounds absolutely illegal, or it should be, to overcharge you like you’re staying in some backwoods little hotel in Thailand or something.

Agreed, although I have almost no experience with Japanese games like FF as I don’t vibe with those for some reason (but I love Japanese cinema). But other than that, I hear you. 👍
- Comment on RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously! 2 weeks ago:
It was a really good deal! I bought it for €19,90 again one time for a friend. I don’t think he played through it all. 😆 He plays a game for like 6 months then drops it…
I 100%'d Horizon Zero Dawn. Sooo good. The story was amazing, the pacing, how they slowly introduce mechanics to you to ease you into advanced combat mechanics, how you slowly gain access to armour, weapons, etc. Just masterful. And the story, super engaging. It’s very well received. 🥰
I think it it’s probably a little bit different from the FF games, but I can’t say for sure as I never played those.
But yeah, anyway, I’m glad you’re able to play all you want and need to play without upgrading. It’s very nice to be able to save money for a rainy day. 😁

Thinking the avg lemmy user plays games that are newer th[a]n 2008 is were you fucked up.
I didn’t think that. I asked if they’d be able to play it. It’s an inquiry about their system more than what they like to play.
- Comment on RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously! 2 weeks ago:
super new games
I dont pay more than 20 dollars
I paid €16 for Horizon Zero Dawn 🤷♂️ One of the best single player games I’ve ever played. Runs on Linux. Played the whole game on Linux. Played in sessions of a few hours a time. I have 2 kids and played this game.
I think you are using a lot of assumptions here. But if you really don’t like that kind of game, fair enough.
I’m just saying, there are a lot of high value games which are not slop. All I’m saying.
- Comment on RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously! 2 weeks ago:
There’s a lot of AAA that isn’t slop. That sounds like coping.
Would you be able to run something like Horizon Forbidden West at moderate settings and 60 fps?

Oooh, okay yeah.
Man, what I wouldn’t give to time travel back millions of years and just have a glance through the window of a pod, to see what it would be like to live here for a day back then.

Pardon my ignorance, I seem to have misunderstood the meaning of “extinct” (?).
