My barber would be all the way over on the bottom right. Makes literally like 300 cuts just while I’m there and I’ve never even seen a tape measure anywhere in the shop.
- Comment on GOG: We’re thrilled to announce that the Crysis Remastered Trilogy has joined our catalog, and the original Crysis is now part of the GOG Preservation Program! 6 days ago:
Nice, glad to hear that the original, non-remastered Crysis is available! If I remember right, Crysis Remastered is actually an update to the console port of Crysis, and the console versions simplified how your powers activate, making it easier to do on a controller.
- Comment on Immich finally goes stable, a talk with the team 1 week ago:
There’s a photo of the back of the case here, which describes how to use it: https://immich.store/products/immich-retro
So it sounds like it’s a bootable Linux image, with Immich already set up on it.

I love the fact that they produced an installation DVD.

Wait, really? I looked at it on the piefed instance I’m using and also on lemmy.world.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 1 week ago:
I’m not, and I’ve enjoyed the process of finding my own music again. I started buying music CDs; there’s a used bookstore near me with a giant shelf of CDs for $1 each. I set up a music server (I chose Funkwhale, although Navidrome seems to be the more popular choice) that I upload everything to, so I can still stream things, it’s just from my own server. And I bought an MP3 player.

I agree, but I think that says a lot about how good the atmosphere in this level was. Gameplay-wise, it really isn’t as interesting as the rest of the game. And yet, everyone was talking about the Scarecrow parts back when this game came out, and it’s still a memorable part of the game.
I think it helps that you won’t die too many times at this part. If it was a platformer section and you had to keep replaying it, people would remember it negatively. (Kind of like how people always hate the puzzle sections in action games.) But instead, they gave this part a great presentation, and you can get through it fairly quickly, so the gameplay didn’t really leave a bad taste in your mouth.

I love this version of Scarecrow, probably one of the best iterations of the character. Although he was creepy as hell in Arkham Knight, too.

The fake game crash totally got me when I first played this.
- Comment on this level is amazing 1 week ago:
I bet it is. I haven’t played it in a few years, although I just replayed the sequel – Arkham City – earlier this year and it was still great. Arkham City added quite a few game mechanics on top of Arkham Asylum, but I bet Asylum is still fun. Most people agree that Asylum had the best atmosphere, too.
- Comment on You should know how to coil cables 1 week ago:
This is a 10/10 YSK tip. I haven’t had to untangle my headphones or charging cable after I learned this.
Here is the same trick with a smaller cable, probably more like what most of us are coiling up every day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fsvANAT3yg&t=160s (start at 2:40)

Ah, gotcha. That’s a use case I hadn’t thought of. Mine is just the photo backup for my current phone, so when I have my phone with me, I can see all of the photos on the phone itself.
- Comment on Immich mobile app sync V2 2 weeks ago:
I’m using immich and really like it, but I’m not using the Android app. I have synthing on my phone, and I let syncthing send the photos to my server. Then Immich detects the files in the syncthing folder.
Is there any benefit to using the app? Or would using the app be basically the same thing that I’m doing now?

I love how active the development on Linkwarden is. I still have all of my stuff in wallabag, but Linkwarden is tempting. I gave the hosted trial a try a few weeks ago, but my wallabag export was too big to import. Maybe I’ll try selfhosting it and manually increasing the max upload size this time.
- Comment on Linkwarden v2.13 - open-source collaborative bookmark manager to collect, read, annotate, and fully preserve what matters (tons of new features!) 🚀 2 weeks ago:
Yep, that’s exactly what this is for. You use Linkwarden to bookmark things, though – it’s not for your browser bookmarks. But there’s a browser extension, so you’re still just clicking one button to bookmark things. And you can export your browser bookmarks and then import them in Linkwarden.

Bah, I got excited and thought that you meant that it was going to be the Epic Games Store freebie next month. Wishful thinking on my part. :P

H has poutine and lobster, A has France and Ireland. There are some top tiers in each of these divisions.

- Comment on A Less Corporate Net 4 weeks ago:
Good idea for a community, hope it will be active. IMO there are some non-corporate internet concepts that don't really fit into existing communities. There are already communities like !fediverse@lemmy.world and !smallweb@lemmy.ml but there are also non-corporate ideas that are unrelated to the fediverse or to small websites. For example, worker-owned news websites. It may be a big website, and it might not have fediverse support, but it's still a way of removing corporate influence from the internet.
- Comment on Rogue.site is a new worker-owned, reader-funded gaming site 5 weeks ago:
This has not been the case for aftermath.site nor 404media.co, two sites that got started pretty much the same way this new one has.
- Comment on A Brief History of Trapper Keepers. 1 month ago:
Haha, I remember the teachers' back-to-school letters always saying, "A plain three ring binder is all your child will need. Excessively large binders are only a distraction."
And then every kid shows up with the biggest, puffiest Trapper Keeper with all of these pockets and compartments and embossed shiny pictures of football players on them.
- Comment on A look at search engines with their own indexes 1 month ago:
Great list! I've been wanting to start using a smaller search engine with its own index, just for the sake of making sure there's an alternative to GBY. (Also, there's a new and useful acronym, haha.) Mojeek was the only one I was aware of before today.
BTW, exalead.com doesn't seem to be a search engine anymore. I recognized that one because I remember discovering it a while ago...in 2007, maybe? But it looks like it's not available as a regular search engine now.

Thank you for doing this! Some of those sites have that "Windows Media Player skin" look to them that defined the early 2000s.
- Comment on A List of Open Source Game Clones 1 month ago:
Come to think of it, there are so many graphical enhancement mods for Morrowind, I'd bet that every asset has already been recreated by someone already. Not sure if they're all open source, though. There might already be something close to a libre reimplementation of Morrowind, except for rewriting the dialog and quest scripts. Which would be a lot. Ok, close-ish, maybe.
- Comment on A List of Open Source Game Clones 1 month ago:
Great resource, thanks! I played 0 A.D. for the first time recently, and was amazed by how polished it was.
Side note for anyone hoping that there is a free version of Morrowind: you still need to have Morrowind to play OpenMW. OpenMW is an open source (and improved) clone of the game's rendering engine, but you still need the game's content (models, textures, maps, etc.) from the original game.
