That might be good. With text to speech getting as good as it’s getting, it’s probably getting in the realistic territory, too.
- Comment on Why 🤷♂️ do users 👨💻 dislike 👎 the use ✅ of emojis 😀 on Lemmy 🐭? 2 months ago:
How would you tackle that? Unless you build a really intelligent system that’s allowed to interpret and reword and understand the significance (or lack thereof) of emojis in context, it sounds tough. Like, generally speaking, you just wouldn’t be able to tell how important an emoji is to the message, when writing an algorithm.

Are we both talking about the original game for Nintendo 64? Because that sounds like a bit of an overstatement to me if that’s the case.
Or am I remembering something wrong?
- Comment on Discover Super Mario and the Rainbow Stars: 7 Chapters 2 months ago:
Doesn’t look bad at all, but aren’t Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series RPGs?
Feels weird to use them as examples for inspirations for a platformer.
Feels more like Yoshi’s Island elements thrown into a 2D version of Super Mario 3D World.

I wish you were wrong. But…
- Comment on US grid adds batteries at 10x the rate of natural gas in first half of 2024 2 months ago:
A Climate Town video convinced me natural gas actually manages to be worse.
Natural gas is methane, and it’s extremely hard to handle that without having any leaks, ever. And since methane is a very powerful greenhouse gas, it doesn’t take that much leaked gas to cross the line into “worse than coal”.
And there are lots of leaks.

I mean it was hardly news to begin with.

I don’t get it. Can someone help?

Wait they’re still adding natural gas? Geez.
- Comment on Twitter loses World Bank ads over pro-Nazi content placement 2 months ago:
Hmm, but then we’re outwardly dissing it and we can’t confidently put it in serious reporting.
And aren’t technically respectful disses the best?

I also like Xitter, because in my head that can only be pronounced Shitter, which is a good name for it.
- Comment on Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon 2 months ago:
Oh I see. Well if it has exactly the same API, if that API also has weird legacy stuff built in that hinder developers, then maybe not, but overall that does sound very similar, yes!
- Comment on Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon 2 months ago:
Yeah, that makes sense. If it’s starting to bite them in the butt, though, maybe they should start relegating that stuff to emulation, if they can write a good enough emulator.
I don’t know when. Maybe it’s already gone by, maybe it’s in the future. But there’s probably a point in time when all of that backward compatibility stops being worth it.
- Comment on Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon 2 months ago:
I don’t understand
- Comment on Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon 2 months ago:
While I haven’t diven into their codebase, that kind of thing tends to severely limit what developers can do to improve the product, slow them down, etc.
Be it new features, deeper UX improvements, performance optimizations… Basically anything you want to do with your progress, generally speaking, it’s going to get harder the more legacy stuff you need to deal with.
- Comment on Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon 2 months ago:
My god, the amount of legacy crap in Windows.
They ought to just start over at some point.
- Comment on Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people? 2 months ago:
Elden Ring with the Seamless Coop mod looks like great fun if you enjoy that type of game. I’ve wanted to try it for a long time.
- Comment on New Cobalt-Free Silicon EV Battery Is The Best Thing Ever 2 months ago:
That article is so positive it almost reads like an ad. I’m suspicious, but hey if it can melt my phone last longer, I’ll keep a gram of optimism.
- Comment on Would you like a receipt? 2 months ago:
I sometimes don’t even listen to the amount they say. I just hear a number and know it’s time to use my card.
I wonder how much was mistakenly charged to me over the years.

That is an if so huge I think I can feel its gravitational attraction.
- Comment on Health food 2 months ago:
I love to eat a bowl of them for breakfast. But sometimes I have trouble waking up and don’t have time for them. Then I reach the weekend, looking forward to finally eating them… And half of them have spoiled. Damn it. I really wish they lasted longer.
- Comment on What were your (now retro, but not at the time) gaming wow moments 3 months ago:
Final Fantasy X blew my mind in pretty much every way possible. Never had I seen such amazing graphics, heard such great video game music, been immersed in such a gripping story in a game.
Honestly I think I may have been chasing that high ever since.
- Comment on Switch 2 cartridge format leaked via patent 3 months ago:
These days Nintendo doesn’t really try to compete on performance. The Wii, for instance, was unapologetically what it was. You played relatively low-poly, low-res, low-texture games on it, but you played them, because they were fun and imaginative.
That’s their main thing. Performance comes, like, 4th.
However, this time, they got burned on their own games. Zelda Tears of the Kingdom had pretty obvious performance issues that even the normiest of normies could notice, for instance. And my memory is short but I think that wasn’t the only first-party game where performance was a challenge.
I think this time they’ll care about performance more than last time.
- Comment on Switch 2 cartridge format leaked via patent 3 months ago:
I like it. They could have easily cited the needs of a mobile console and wanting to dedicate every last cubic centimeter to cooling and battery as an excuse to make the next console digital only.
I’m glad they didn’t.
- Comment on Switch 2 cartridge format leaked via patent 3 months ago:
Isn’t the new device based on Nvidia Ampere?
I don’t really know how it’s going to turn out but I’m somewhat optimistic.

So which instance an account is from matters regarding which communities you can join? Huh.
- Comment on Spreading of the 100 biggest Lemmy communities 3 months ago:
I heard what lemmy is. I googled Lemmy. I downloaded an app. I pressed sign up. I ended up on Lemmy.world.
I’ll be honest I don’t even really understand what different instances do.
