  I also don’t think Spotify’s High setting is as good as an mp3 of the same stated bitrate

  I’m just saying that in this thread you seem to be the “angry fucker” you describe, rather than the other way around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify caught hosting hundreds of fake podcasts that advertise selling drugs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think Spotify’s High bitrate is as good as it says it is, though. That’s what I’m getting at. Sort of like how YouTube’s encoding for whatever setting you pick is never as good as a local file with the same specs.

  As an outsider looking in with only this thread for context. I feel like you’re gazing into the mirror a bit there and also need to chill.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify caught hosting hundreds of fake podcasts that advertise selling drugs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  You absolutely can. It’s not massive. But Spotify does sound muddy in comparison. And I’m not some crazy audiophile either. But I’ve definitely heard more clarity in some of my favourite songs and noticed certain powers of them that I’ve never noticed before just because I was using a FLAC vs using Spotify where I used to listen to it.

  At a certain point, you’re right your not going to notice a difference on shitty speakers but there’s something about Spotify’s lossy compression that even at high you’ll notice the difference between the two.

  As someone from the UK, where most of our spines were standardised like the PS1 and PS2. And having personally collected hundreds of the latter. I’ve always preferred consistent standardised spines. A full bookcase of PAL PS2 games looks so much nicer to me than the messy look of one filled with NTSC games in my opinion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t hate times exclusives that much because that’s done extra cashflow for the dev to be able to either finish their game or polish it further. I still don’t think we’d have gotten Alan Wake 2 at least the version we got without that epic deal. I also don’t know if square would’ve bothered even entertaining the idea of porting all of the kingdoms hearts games either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify caught hosting hundreds of fake podcasts that advertise selling drugs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t need that much special equipment to tell the difference. I have a lil shitty Jelly Star. I can tell the difference between Spotify’s High and a FLAC from bandcamp with it’s speaker, Bluetooth headphones (Sony Link Buds) and my Car speakers.

  It shouldn’t get fucked by MS they’ll just stop adding things to it to prevent outsiders from fucking it up. You’ll be alright for now, but keep an eye out for any potential vulnerabilities that get found after end of support. Then that’s when you can start thinking of disconnecting it from the internet. That is if you can’t risk yourself being patient 0. Then in that case you should disconnect as soon as end of life comes around.

  I think they did bring back Doom RPG best phone game ever

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grand Theft Auto 4 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S reportedly in development, could release this year⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I must’ve heard wrong then. I swear I saw that they got shut down and then a different team came in to do those extra fixes on the shitty trilogy collection

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grand Theft Auto 4 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S reportedly in development, could release this year⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they got shut down did they not?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Onion be onioning again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Best thing to do is (i know it’s cliche) but to not worry about it.

  Just focus on yourself and the hobbies you find fun. Then start to look for others (not romantically) that also partake in those hobbies. Maybe try and find local in person meet ups or spaces that accommodate for it.

  You just be you and eventually you’ll attract someone without effort. No one is completely unique and you will find a common ground with someone that will eventually flourish. And because it’s around the things you already love, it’ll be less effort.

  I know ADHD can throw a spanner in the works too (I have it as well). But it will come to you either through practice or by o professional help (like I did) depending on the severity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Onion be onioning again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I would also like to keep my bones wet for as long as possible too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In Movies and TV shows, its always ambiguous if someone is dead or merely knocked out.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In start wars you have to see their physical moment of life leaving them or their ghost to confirm their death. Anything else and they’re able to come back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been playing a little bit of final fantasy tactics on the PS1 on my little RG34XX (The GBA looking one)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today's featured article on Wikipedia: Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the remake has better controls. Like just pressing triangle to add to a sleight for example. But the 3d playing field can make using them sleights a bit more awkward than on the GBA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Generational differences⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah absolutely i’d rather be next to a smoker than a vaper. But because smokers go to smoking areas that I obviously have no need to go to, I encounter inconsiderate vapers way more than I do smokers nowadays.

  Only time smokers become a problem for me now is briefly walking past them or at outdoor festivals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Generational differences⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why i hate vapers way more than i hate smokers. At the very least smokers go elsewhere when they smoke.

  (If you’re vaping to quit though you have my respect)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He was saying that £80 was worth it cause of the amount of hours. So i brought up games with similar or more hours that are cheaper. Including prior gta games…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m trying to point out that i don’t think that the length of a game shouldn’t really be indicative of the price. I have no issue with him enjoying the game or buying it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨End of 10 - Windows ten is ending. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It was my go to for computers that i didn’t need windows on at the time.

  Now i have bazzite on my gaming pc and currently experimenting with arch hyprland on my surface go 2 that could no longer get windows updates.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s plenty of jrpgs half that price point with twice the length though. Heck, even the previous GTAs have at least that length for a cheaper price, and are occasionally even cheaper now. Be patient and you’ll likely even get the game given away for free.

  Yeah I’ll hop on her machine when I get a chance and she’s not too busy playing oblivion to have a mess around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck / Gaming News #13⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Big picture has the same performance issues as gaming mode on nvidia though doesn’t it?

  I remember my partner trying it when we first built her pc and it was awful. Although at the time she was on a 1050 Ti temporarily, which also had other issues on the OS. She’s now on a 3050 so maybe it’s better now?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck / Gaming News #13⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That means having to use big picture mode though right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck / Gaming News #13⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone know if there’s a way to get junk store for bazzite desktop?

  It would be great for my partner who has bazzite but doesn’t touch the gaming mode because she has an nvidia card at the moment and it runs like dog shit.

  This is her first Linux experience so it would be nice to have something really simple for her to use.
