- Comment on Xbox chief Phil Spencer is leaving Microsoft 2 days ago:
Aside from Sega I was going to toss Atari on that list but TIL they are very much still making new hardware, except it’s all targeted for retro gaming. Different focus and not a true competitor to Sony but technically still kicking.
- Comment on Xbox chief Phil Spencer is leaving Microsoft 2 days ago:
For sure it did. Dumb decisions, compounded.
- Comment on You NEED To Selfhost 1 week ago:
Maybe. Depends on the use case.
- Comment on Video game romances need to evolve beyond lore dumps 1 week ago:
They make good points until this bullshit:
But if video games are ever going to be taken seriously as an artistic medium, they have to grow up, and that means learning how to love authentically.
No. That take is horseshit. They don’t have to do anything to be taken seriously as art. They already are. If you can’t see it because it doesn’t tick some of your boxes that’s a you issue.
- Comment on Fighting games have a product design problem 1 week ago:
I don’t really play fighting games anymore but previous titles like SF Ex+Alpha had a killer training mode which scratched my completionist itch. There were scores and gates and orogressions, though I can’t recall if you got anything like XP (in truth that bares no relevance to a fighting game anyway).
- Comment on Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy 1 week ago:
They become cheap if you’re patient enough.
- Comment on Overseerr & Jellyseerr to merge into Seerr 1 week ago:
Honestly the UI is so slick even a one-user setup will benefit in my opinion. Even when not requesting media I use it extensively to look up actors and directors.
Possibly the best foss UX I’ve ever used.
- Comment on Wendy's closes US restaurants and focuses on value to turn around falling sales 1 week ago:
I know! They dumped the grilled chicken, at least in Canada, which had the best macronutrient allocation of all fast food sandwiches. That probably doesn’t mean much to most but for me it was a perfect cheap post workout meal for years. RIP.
- Comment on Games you fell out of love with. 1 week ago:
That reminds me I need to login and transfer some funds to my fleet carrier, if it hasn’t already defaulted. Love the game but shallow depth for sure :(
- Comment on FR#153 – What does a Discord replacement look like? 1 week ago:
Snuck in an edit that touches some or your points. I’m not on Lemmy because of federation, that’s incidental. I’m here because it’s another option to explore. But I still use reddit, too, because the community is there.
- Comment on FR#153 – What does a Discord replacement look like? 1 week ago:
Barring the single account, I want them entirely disconnected though. Discord had not suffered in growth because of a lack of interaction.
Centralization is irrelevant for what users want outside of a niche. The average user doesn’t care.
- Comment on FR#153 – What does a Discord replacement look like? 1 week ago:
It looks like discord. There is no replacement. No other project comes close.
- Comment on FR#153 – What does a Discord replacement look like? 1 week ago:
Why do we need federation though? I like my discord ‘servers’ being disjointed.
- Comment on A succulent meal 1 week ago:
My kind of vegetable-less meal.
- Comment on Discord Alternatives, Ranked 1 week ago:
IRC isn’t really a replacement either. Discord supports rich multimedia embedding and the servers preserve history (by default anyway).
- Comment on Sony Patents System to Generate AI Podcasts in the Voices of Your Favorite PlayStation Characters - IGN 2 weeks ago:
Games aren’t all uniform and linear or progressively more difficult. It varies wildly by game. Then there’s the personal element, how an individuals performance with the mechanics and strategies affect perceived difficulty.
- Comment on Obsidian's The Outer Worlds 2 Underperformed, and There Won't Be a Third - IGN 2 weeks ago:
Yeah the first was alright, like a small scale Bethesda game with pretty ok gunplay. I got my copy for free (thanks epic) but it still wasn’t enough to interest me to buy the second.
- Comment on You are allowed flavor 2 weeks ago:
What with the poor cropping epidemic? Seriously.
- Comment on 32-year-old programmer in China allegedly dies from overwork, added to work group chat even while in hospital 2 weeks ago:
He reads like heavy cope.
- Comment on Notepad++ Hijacked by State-Sponsored Hackers 2 weeks ago:
Awesome choice but one crucial detail is that commercial use requires a license.
- Comment on Gaming market melts down after Google reveals new AI game design tool — Project Genie crashes stocks. (A.K.A . Investors panic because they don't understand what "real" videogames are) 3 weeks ago:
There will be a demand but I wouldn’t bet on that demand being the most popular.
- Comment on I just realized there is not really a for "cuddling" in Chinese Languages... probably a reflection of the lack of Public Display of Affection in Chinese Culture... 3 weeks ago:
Typically something you do lying down, or sitting. All of these are cuddling: Image
Hugs can be a part of cuddling, but cuddling is more than a hug.
- Comment on What is the best way to drop 50lbs in two months without spending alot and no fad diets? 3 weeks ago:
You don’t. If you’re serious about weight loss you need to commit long term.
- Comment on What is the best way to drop 50lbs in two months without spending alot and no fad diets? 3 weeks ago:
This is so wrong it hurts. Your body cannot synthesize muscle from fat.
- Comment on Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App 3 weeks ago:
It’s one way but not the only way. They make money from developers before they even write a single line of code, every year.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
They’ll never read nor act on this feedback, but here’s my list:
- drop the AI
- drop the ads
- stop pushing services, namely cloud
- stop requiring Microsoft accounts
Honestly win10 was great when it dropped. Not sure why we needed 11.
- Comment on This kid gets it 3 weeks ago:
I have a hard time making conclusive statements in various subjects precisely because of how many unknowns there are. And the more I learn the larger that discrepancy grows. I am utterly baffled how anyone can be a politician and make these broad general statements as if they’re fact on multiple topics all at once. Then people eat it up and build identities around it. I feel like I’m crazy.
- Comment on This kid gets it 3 weeks ago:
In my 20+ years in the corporate world now it seems that everything is just a sale. Every transaction (business to business, business to consumer, employee to business, employee to employee) is a sales pitch. The quality of the transaction matters less than the sale itself.
- Comment on ...is this retro? 3 weeks ago:
Perhaps I’m in a minority but when the PS and 360 first debuted I did not consider even the NES to be “retro”. I would have applied that term to the likes of an Atari 2600 or colecovision.
