  If they get rid of the skirts, how are the police women supposed to stop everyone from seeing their underwear?

  Does Japan’s perversion know no limits?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Submitting an App for iOS approval⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but it still deserves the question to be asked explicitly. I don’t think most iPhone users looking for a music reccomendation app would assume they’d need to selfhost in order to use an app.

  And again, if as the dev he’s not prepared to set up his own server for use to pass basic testing, it begs the question of what exactly he’s expecting out of his end users and if it’s truly a reasonable ask.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Submitting an App for iOS approval⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, how is this app going to function on release if you can’t stand up the basic resources for it to function for them to test it?

  I made the same assumption, but I believe they stated it officially shortly after the game was first announced. Still dumb as hell though.

  Yep, basic opsec (which I’m totally not following on this account). Mix up your slang and phrasing, fake personal details, and rotate accounts to avoid any singilar one building up too much info on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably update 2.00. They completely redid the game balance, about half of the damn RPG stat related mechanics, and reworked a decent chunk of the iconic weapon effects.

  Notably, they removed the Overwatch sniper’s wall piercing. Intentionally. There’s mods to revert that.

  AIEOU. MY ROFLCOPTER GOES SOI SOI SOI SOI.

  All because the engine they used had an option for automatic text to speech for the chat.

  I think that’s just a default Quake 4 engine thing.

  Please do not use your “foot” for pegging play.

  You just had to remind me of an ancient internet “shock” video where an amputee uses their ankle stump to “stump” the asshole of someone in a sex swing.

  As prize, you get the knowledge that video exists.

  Still can’t believe corporate meddling robbed us of the cinematic masterpiece it was meant to be. Apparently authentic Sweedish music was too exotic for American audiences.

  Release the Joel cut you cowards!

  Colleges too. Ever wanted to hide behind the projector screen of a 300 seat lecture hall? None of the doors are locked. Found an old rotary telephone and a real film reel projector back there.

  Had some wonderful desk chair races around the professor offices floor in one building at nearly midnight.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heheheh my secret door of secret knowledge⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The tough part is when you no longer have that access after you’re used to it when you get a new job.

  No! Don’t call security! I swear I worked here a decade ago, I’m just absentminded.

  Shouldn’t be much of a surprise. His family has always been eugenecists with a “benevolent” mask. Not knocking what his foundation has done against malaria, but I believe he’s said some very direct things about wanting lower birthrates in the global south.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 297 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just be careful. If a quest giver gives you a time limit, like a letter saying “get here in one month”, they mean it. It’s possible to silently fail the main quest this way, but it’s also possible to get back into the main quest line via some other quest paths into it.

  It’s all fairly complicated. Thankfully failing doesn’t stop you from exploring the world, interacting with NPCs, or doing other quests. You can always use the console to restart the main quest line quests when you’re ready.

  Lemmy doesn’t show overall karma anywhere by default, and as far as I know, no communities are using automated moderation to prevent “low karma” accounts from posting.

  Not saying it isn’t, just that there’d be no point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Or a shrimp⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My wife and I used IVF, so our first picture of our daughter is a clump of cells (I think the term is blastocyst).

  It looked like kind of potato shaped. She was dubbed our little spud by one of her uncles, and that stuck until maybe two months before birth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prices are out of control⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol, clearly you haven’t been shopping at budget places in the US. The competition is Land O Lakes, “I can’t believe it’s not butter”, or store brand.

  Where are you buying your butter, and what brand?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prices are out of control⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve used it instead of maple syrup on pancakes while camping. I intended it to just end up as a shit joke at my own expense, fucking around for shits and giggles, but it was legitimately sweet enough to work. Which is honestly pretty disgusting.

  The Nointro group seems to be the most prolific/trustworthy for cartridge based retro stuff, as far as I can tell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is my Dreamcast displaying tiny with a new HDMI cable?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, as said, that’s going to be due to however your TV upscales things.

  Getting a dedicated scaler will help, but bear in mind that you’re taking an image that’s at least 1/4 smaller (might be less than that, can’t remember the math off hand) than your screen’s native resolution and zooming in on it.

  Using most scalers gives you a ton of options for how to zoom in. Straight pixels, bilinear (or trilinear) filtering, and some have various shader effects as well to emulate the style of TVs these consoles were made for.

  By using HDMI/VGA you are getting the clearest digital signal version of that image possible, but it’s still tiny, and any way you choose to expand it will have pros and cons.

  It would be a lot easier to engage with the subculture from the outside if the porn wasn’t so prevalent or up-front as it is/had been in the past, and if the weirdest/most socially maladjusted members of the culture didn’t tend to be the most attention grabbing (but that’s an issue with almost every group online though).

  If you’re up for it, I’d love to be pointed at some good examples of the subculture outside of the fetish/kink stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tech Companies Apparently Do Not Understand Why We Dislike AI⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately there is a bit of a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation here. Put overly simply: If we start enforcing copyright in training AI models now, do you really believe that any companies who have already trained their models are really going to just toss them? I’m afraid that it’s going to just be regulatory capture where the existing big names just pull the ladder up behind them while still making money off of their stolen content fueled plagiarism machines.

  We’ll ignore that OpenAI isn’t actually profitable for the sake of the argument.

  That said, abolishing copyright is quite possibly the stupidest solution I’ve ever heard for this issue.
