- Comment on Jeep's annoying pop-up nags you to buy an extended warranty at every stop sign 2 weeks ago:
I have a 2015 Rav 4 that’s just on the cusp. It has built in GPS/Infotainment unit that has buttons, and needs to be updated by going to the Toyota website, downloading the software updates onto a USB, and then plugging the USB into the car’s port.
Honestly it’s the perfect level of tech for me. Sure the built-in maps are a bit outdated now, but I don’t need cellular service to navigate around, and I have infotainment and climate buttons on my steering wheel as well as the dashboard.
Praying it lasts another 10 years.

Part of the Tiktok algo is already released on Github. I’m hoping instead of selling they actually make everything open.
- Comment on TikTok Users Gleefully Embrace Even More Chinese App To Spite US TikTok Ban 1 month ago:
This is from my former coworker who’s father was approached as an investor for Bytedance, so grain of salt.
But apparently the current CEO of Bytedance, Shou Zi Chew, interned at Meta and offered Zuckerberg a chance to invest into Bytedance in 2013 when he was gathering investors (assuming they’d be the American arm of the multinational). Zuck refused, saying that he didn’t think short form video is going to go anywhere, and basically laughed Zi Chew out of the room.
Fast forward to 2024, and Meta is spending the most money lobbying to get Tiktok to sell to a US company, with Meta trying to argue that they have the best infrastructure to “manage the technology” and data from Tiktok, Capcut, Lemon8, etc.
If all of this is true, I would also say “Fuck You” to Mark Cuckerberg and shut down the servers too. I mean, why the hell else am I on Lemmy if not for a CEO saying I can’t have my app?

I should have guessed you’d be a gaming connoisseur and already had played AW1 just based on your daily posts (which I enjoy daily too btw).
But playing Alan Wake 1+DLCs more than twice? Damn, you’re not a lake, you’re an ocean 😭

IMO, assomeone who played Alan Wake 1 back to back with Alan Wake 2…don’t do it, AW2 as a game feels sooooo much better in every aspect. Unless your tolerance for jank is really high, the difference in the gunplay alone feels like you’re using two different skillsets.
Well…AW2 didn’t completely get rid of the jank, just made it a smoother part of the gameplay lol.
Also the story of 2 is really heavily related to the ending of AW1, you might just spoil yourself for a big part of the mystery.
- Comment on Final Fantasy 9 Remake May Not Happen as a Single Title 5 months ago:
I don’t mind the expanding in Remake as much as Rebirth tbh. Remake’s does expand a lot of side character’s, but they feel relevant to the story. Marlene, Avalanche trio, hell Yuffie’s little side story, they’re all good additions.
But Rebirth is where I think it went off the rails a bit. The game really feels unfocused with a lot of the side quests, and it really drags a bit until you get to the last quarter of the game.
Maybe it’ll feel better to revisit once we have the entire trilogy. But man, paying $70/ to play Rebirth feels a bit bad when it came out at the same time as the new Yakuza and Persona remake priced at the same point.
- Comment on Final Fantasy 9 Remake May Not Happen as a Single Title 5 months ago:
I’m usually with you on the “skip the quests you don’t like”, but it really doesn’t feel like an option for this series. Each of the remake games are priced at $70USD and it’s not even a full story, technically speaking.
It feels really bad to not do side content, because it feels like you’re not getting your “money’s worth” psychologically. But the side content varies so much in quality depending on the chapter that the game just feels like a drag. It especially sucks because the OG FF7 is such a well paced story IMO, with a good balance of action/plot vs silly downtime.

- Comment on Final Fantasy 9 Remake May Not Happen as a Single Title 5 months ago:
And it honestly breaks the flow of the story sometimes compared to the original. Rebirth’s added content felt like busywork at times to make it seem like a bigger game than it actually is.
The Honeybee sequence is peak tho, and I’ll fight anyone that says otherwise.
