I don’t know what’s so impressive about the water, looks the same as water in every other 3D game from 1998?
I think Wave Race 64 had better water iirc

Oh I thought they’d experience more than 1000 grams of force whilst pecking 😜
- Comment on Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny 2 days ago:
It depends how broad their “masculine influencer” definition is…
I think whether it actually matters would depend more on if they’re consuming “masculine influencer” content exclusively , without any concept of other world views.

a subtle edit resolving a duplicate reference in a way that removes displays from the list of parts that must be replaceable by a layperson with basic tools
That’s fucking significant change, considering probably even more smartphones become ewaste from cracked screens than anything else by a long shot…
- Comment on Why is U2 considered "grunge?" 3 days ago:
is this post an attempt to disprove the title "no stupid questions"? - Comment on Why is U2 considered "grunge?" 3 days ago:
Don’t forget about the grunge bands Dire Straights and Phil Collins…
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to someone who says "transracial is just as valid as transgender"? 6 days ago:
Transracial is an actual thing, but it refers to people of one race adopted by another
I think a better word for it would be “Transcultural” or “Transethnithicy” ?
But I’ve never heard of that specifically, closest people I know of are people with parents from other cultures who grew up in a different culture than one or both parents, call themselves “multicultural” or as having “multiethnicity”…

- Comment on Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all. 2 weeks ago:
Apple always arrives late to any new tech, doesn’t mean they haven’t been working on it behind the scenes for just as long though…
- Comment on iFixit says the Switch 2 is even harder to repair than the original 2 weeks ago:
Also don’t need to pay a premium for mobile device parts if you have no need for them.
- Comment on where are worker rights parades? why are we focusing on very limited issues? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think they’re angry at pride parades, they’re angry that there’s no similar parades/demonstrations for workers rights, and using pride parade as an example to be emulated…
- Comment on We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink 2 weeks ago:
That would also make latency worse and the signal weaker.
- Comment on Why are you here and not on Reddit? 2 weeks ago:
Main reddit app and website user experience is garbage compared to 3rd party apps for lemmy.

Same is true of any software these days, not just cracks…
- Comment on OpenAI is storing deleted ChatGPT conversations as part of its NYT lawsuit 2 weeks ago:
If that was the case wouldn’t the Judge just dismiss/banhammer the evidence from the case somehow? (IDK IANAL)
- Comment on In North Korea, your phone secretly takes screenshots every 5 minutes for government surveillance 2 weeks ago:
The main difference being the consequences that might result from the surveillance.
- Comment on Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater - Gameplay Trailer 2 weeks ago:
One problem with that idea is Konami stock price is way more than I’d consider paying for the game 😅
- Comment on Please Don't Preorder This... 2 weeks ago:
What about horse armor though? 🤣
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I think both will happen, at the same time:
With the steam deck using Linux games are finally working on Linux, which is a major barrier to it being used for personal computers. And with Google and apple phones getting worse, projects like Ubuntu Touch might pick up some momentum…
But yeah those will likely still be quite niche…

- Comment on "Official" Russian Military game depicting invasion of Ukraine released on Steam as Yunarmy propaganda 3 weeks ago:
It also had a link to thier recruit sign up page in game if I remember correctly. Also was one of the first free to play milsims.
- Comment on Google is going ‘all in’ on AI. It’s part of a troubling trend in big tech 3 weeks ago:
Results vary wildly depending on the game or situation, mainly depending on how fast the camera moves, and how cluttered or dark the environment is. It does pretty well in cyberpunk when you’re walking around the city on a sunny day with a low camera sensitivity, but looks pretty bad when driving in the rain at night.
- Comment on No time to explain, grab a milk and look at the camera 3 weeks ago:
Probably because it’s from 1963.
