- Comment on "Valve must stop making excuses": Steam under fire for "significant price disparity for PC games," causing regional pricing that's "often 20% to 30% higher than the dollar equivalent" 3 weeks ago:
Maybe I’m just misunderstanding the quote, but I’m pretty sure regional pricing have been around at least since 2010s.
Maybe I should RTFA
- Comment on Why do people say "as sweet as canned beans"? 3 weeks ago:
Can we have /c/assweetascannedbeans as lemmy’s counterpart to reddot’s /r/boneappletea?
- Comment on Superhero stories have become less about saving people and more about fighting villains. 3 weeks ago:
I recently watched that Superman movie and liked it. I couldn’t figure out exactly why, but I think it is because he’s helping others.
I was a bit hesitant prior because of MCU fatigue, but I’m glad I watched it. MCU ended for me at whenever Thanos was truly defeated. I can’t even remember the movie.
- Comment on What’s the deal with unrelated content platforms trying to add a games section? 4 weeks ago:
I imagine it’s for when someone want to take a break from doom scorlling and indulge on slop
Recently yahtzee from second wind confessed to playing the YouTube games slop.

- Comment on What are the visually-best anime you're seen? 5 weeks ago:
Another zetsubou sensei enjoyer, nice.
It is one of my favorite anime and manga series, Top 5 for me. The soundtrack is also a banger.
- Comment on Nintendo reportedly gets even more obnoxious about patent law by taking a 'mods aren't real games' stance against a Dark Souls 3 mod that could invalidate its Palworld lawsuit 5 weeks ago:
There’s a group of citizens of a nation that supports what Nintendo doing to Palworld devs. Back when I read the noise on Xitter when Nintendo first filed against Palworld, lots of Japanese support it because something something disrespect or some bullshit. It sickens me that they are just lying belly up drinking the shit Nintendo puts out and trying to snuff competition
- Comment on "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership 1 month ago:
The same wsd also reported by Second Wind (old Zero Punctuation) and their experience is the same: way too sudden drop to be anything else except YouTube adjusting their algorithm.
In their video, Yahtzee said it could be related to Restricted Mode on youtube suddenly turns on by itself. Or at least that's their hypothesis, since they checked that if that mode is on, a lot of their videos vanished from their channel.

man, a unidan reference. a simpler time when I was ignorant using reddit.
- Comment on Damn 2 months ago:
Yep. I take content from there and post it in Lemmy whenever I can.
- Comment on Damn 2 months ago:
And that's okay. That's one of the points for fiction.
It was either just today or yesterday, at some point in the near past, where I read a post of someone bemoaning on reddit (I know I know. Skewer me all you want) the trope of the tall boyfriend coupled with short girlfriend. Got down voted and plenty of post saying that's real also.
Anecdotally, I can confirm that's how my brother-in-law and my sister are lol.
- Comment on Sam Altman admits OpenAI ‘totally screwed up’ its GPT-5 launch and says the company will spend trillions of dollars on data centers 2 months ago:
Someone I know (not close enough to even call an "internet friend") formed a sadistic bond with chatGPT and will force it to apologize and admit being stupid or something like that when he didn't get the answer he's looking for.
I guess that's better than doing it to a person I suppose.
- Comment on There's a YouTube channel called "Touhou Fan Radio" as the name suggests it is a Touhou Radio made by a fan for fans. 2 months ago:
Hmm, I noticed my browser replaced the @ with %40 and truncated the channel name somehow.
Probably whatever youtube forwarding method is breaking things?

- Comment on YSK about Changing your Profile Picture to Clippy 2 months ago:
I agree, as someone that was forced to use W11 work laptop. It also save states of the tabs open as long as you don't close the tabs and close the windows itself.
This is probably just MS catching up to plenty other FOSS programs though.
- Comment on What is piefed? 2 months ago:
It's not more well known for now because the API and integration is still in alpha testing.
- Comment on Disgrace to you disgrace to your family disgrace to your cow 2 months ago:
The other thing about all this. I don't tend to "just" watch
anime these days. I put anime on while I'm doing other
things. But I can't read subs and do other things at the
same time. The result of all that is mostly that I watch
less anime than I used to. I spend more of my time
watching St that is natively in English thatIcan most-
listen-to and glance at every few minutes. (hey that's me too. i put up videos I'm slightly interested in to be noise and sometimes pay attention to, so it has to be English for me.
it's basically tradition now for me to just watch anime subbed.
so no anime in that role. besides I'd like to pay more attention to anime most of the time.

I wish we could have gotten a sequel to the live action movie.
I also need her balisong sword as a balisong knife replica.
- Comment on Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette 3 months ago:
I confess that I don't have the money to frequently donate and fund the services that I use (if they allow to donate) and recognize long time ago ads would be an okay alternative. but like everyone said, ads just became a lot more cancerous and have to block it. despite the shortcomings of the FBI, even they advise to use adblockers.
though I guess I just have to suck it up and donate once in a while as well.

a nuclear passion. I like that. surprised I never came across this phrase before lol

joking aside, I'd wager it's reddit

i still have a 808 Pureview. needs a new battery but otherwise I could flash a CFW for it to keep using it as a point and shoot camera lol
- Comment on Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop! 3 months ago:
I thought I was smart going back to a video that featured two USB C cable testers. I onky watched the video and didnt check or paid attention what the brand was.
They are, in fact, these exact two brands.
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 3 months ago:
Thanks. Starting easy is fine. At least I now have a place to start from.
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 3 months ago:
I honestly don't see much from the comms I follow (and it's a lot thanks to piefed topics), and when I do browse all, if I find a post from a comm that allows them, I either ignore it or block the comm, for example a genAI art comms.
Idk, lemmy, mbin, piefed, etc isn't reddit with algorithms so it's kind of on the user if they see a lot of it, IMO.
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 3 months ago:
All of those use AI as a way to filter and group information
Is there any resource I can read on or start from that's useful for the average person? Just pointers so I don't go on slop rabbit holes which I'm sure there are a lot of.

Ooh that's pretty neat. I'll have to see how to set up listenbrainz.

Oh yeah I knew of last.fm but haven't checked it out in years. Pretty sure I checked Spotify to scrobble to it.
Have to see how to scrobble to last.fm when I cut out Spotify and idk play local music on my phone and computer.
