  Recently finished university and got my first job in basic accounting. All I do is well, watch videos on phone, messages people and a bit of accounting here and there. Boring, relaxing and that’s about it. Going to stick with it for a year and then prolly find new work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo lawyers want to force Discord to reveal Pokémon Teraleak source⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The more I read about Nintendo, the more genuine dislike I get for them. The only thing I read, hear and see are negative bullshit for some petty reason they’ve.

  I hate how such a shit company holds so many good nostalgic games. Truly hoping for a quick hack on the Switch 2 and a PC emulation (and I hope truly, hope that Palworld wins the whole fiasco).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The first folding e-reader is smaller than a paperback⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder how people will show off all of the books they haven’t read, what with analogs going out of stye and all.

  I don’t know whether this is sarcasm or not, can’t figure it out. But if isn’t, well, I suppose they won’t.

  Reading is usually for oneself and not to show off, so I assume, people who purchase such a thing wouldn’t care about showing off.

  I like reading normal books but, I currently prefer devices (I.E screens) because it’s easier to carry around, multiple books possible and less preying eyes “what are you reading”.

  Apple has teased with making the iPhone-as-a-service, meaning you lease it instead of owning it.

  I really like iPhones (more so iOS), especially with sideloading now.

  But if leasing becomes norm and we can’t purchase it or get it through subscription of service (2 years with Vodafone and then the phone is yours kind of thing). I’ll just purchase an older Samsung. Then I’ll take the loss and struggle for a few months with the interface and all that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see the problem with having both- they fill different niches.

  Money. Steam Deck OLED costs in my country €700, Switch OLED €350-360 and the Switch 2 will be around the €560-600.

  steam deck, I’d be really sad to not have any Mario kart, Zelda, etc…

  I’m so close on purchasing a Steam Deck OLED to game in weekends or in bed after full 5 days behind a desk job. But I’m always worried that these games won’t work well with emulations. I’ve been researching like crazy but keep reading different things.

  And spending €700 with uncertainty is not my favorite thing to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta profits as ads promote illegal Israeli settlements in West Bank.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately I don’t have knowledge about Android tweaks but I’m almost certain there is one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta profits as ads promote illegal Israeli settlements in West Bank.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Best is not to use the platform but if you do, then the best thing to do is; use a tweaked version.

  One that removes the ads and gives more settings to tweak.

  For iOS you can check EthMods Telegram channel and find the tweaked version and then install them through SideStore sideloading.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thoughts on Mario Kart World⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seemed fun but I noped out of everything the moment, I heard the prices.

  Steam Deck OLED + Emulations is the way to go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck / Gaming News #8⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Heavy emulator user here, the Deck made my Switch obsolete

  Oh wow, that the Steam Deck had such an effect on the usage of the switch.

  If you don’t mind the tinkering to get the emulators configured, the Deck is a no-brainer for me

  I don’t really mind tinkering with it, already know my ways with emulation on PC. However, I have no knowledge on Linux and that’s what worries me a bit.

  However, the Deck can also run every other console up until Switch/PS3/Xbox 360

  So the Steam Deck can run the PS2 emulation and play these games (just as the PC can?).

  Most of the games of the Switch I’d like to play are the Mario games. I can name them all if necessary but will do it later (at the moment at work).

  On the Deck, ToTK can struggle to reach even 30 in many areas without community modpacks.

  Can the Steam Deck run Breath of the Wild without issue?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck / Gaming News #8⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As I’m uncertain how strict this instance is regarding sailing high seas, I’ll just mention that 95% of my games are through sailing the seas including emulating.

  I’d recommend a Steam Deck

  Alright! I will message you on Matrix but if it is okay, it’ll be on Saturday or Sunday due to work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong - Release Date Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I got excited for one moment =[

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck / Gaming News #8⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Always love reading your posts!

  You seem to emulate a lot on Steam Deck (right?). May I ask how smooth the emulation of Switch games goes?

  I have been heavily debating between Switch OLED and the Steam Deck (and then emulate Switch games). But keep hearing different things about how smooth things run.

  Steam deck going to cost €700 while Switch €550 (switch + get someone to mod it).

  Also; I assumed that BlueSky can see posts from Mastodon but unfortunately can’t find you through BlueSky.

  Well, look on the bright side - You’re not shadow-banned from the instance. This you can still view, comment and enjoy things from there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fediverse alternative to Pinterest?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I use(d) Pinterest to collect fan-dom stuff and wallpapers. Each board for a movie, series, anime or game.

  Nowadays I just search for a wallpaper and hope it isn’t AI, download it and leave the platform again. There’s no use on actually using the platform for what its intended (pinning, saving and sharing). Almost anything you do gets flagged by their AI bot for “inappropriate, adult or violence”.

  I mean, they flagged a plant as “adult” content and smiling Luffy face as “violence”. Oh I forgot, their platform is just one giant advertisement crap now. 3/4 of the screen will be taken up by a video/gif of an advertisement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Digg is about to be rebooted. Thoughts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Never tried it but I’m worried that they (too) will use AI for moderating and all that. AI as moderator for deleting, flagging and stuff is a bad idea.

  Just look at Pinterest’s mess with AI that removes pins and ban accounts for no reason.

  I’ll probably wait when Digg is rebooted and see how the early-adopters write about their experiences.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fediverse alternative to Pinterest?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have been searching for one, for a year or two. Ever since they keep removing pins for the most mundane things or literal no actual reason.

  I’m planning to watch this one, got told it’s quite good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian says AI should moderate social media⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah, lets do that and see that everything going into chaos.

  Pinterest lets their AI do checks on pins and totally (non violated ToS) images get deleted. Accounts getting permanent banned because their AI claims images are violating their ToS (I guess plants and houses ate violent).

  What could go wrong, nothing eh? /sarcasm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FromSoftware didn’t want Sony to publish Dark Souls as it was ‘disappointed’ by how Demon’s Souls was treated⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s one of their business models, so of course they do. Sony, Xbox and Epic Games.

  I don’t like it either but that’s the current world we live in and until majority stop purchasing the exclusives, they will keep doing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FromSoftware didn’t want Sony to publish Dark Souls as it was ‘disappointed’ by how Demon’s Souls was treated⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My point is; there are more platforms that do exclusives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FromSoftware didn’t want Sony to publish Dark Souls as it was ‘disappointed’ by how Demon’s Souls was treated⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sony sucks, using your money to try and buy exclusives is toxic garbage behavior, they deserve any criticism and troubles they come across.

  I understand that exclusivity on games can be shit but if, I remember well lots of PlayStation games are already on PC (spider man, last of us and ghost of Tsushima) and steller blade will be soon too.

  Not only that, Xbox and Nintendo have exclusives too. Not to forget about Epic Games and their exclusive deals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your most played games?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
  • LeagueOfLegends.
  • Persona 5 Royal.
  • Hollow Knight.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Citron is yet one more Switch emulator appearing online⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m hoping that at least one of them grows in development once the Switch 2 and its games arrived.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not the right person to start a community, that’s the main problem. I’m not fit to be a Moderator and such.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I genuinely tried to leave but lots of communities didn’t leave Reddit and therefore had to stick to Reddit. I did with RRSS-feed and avoided their app.

  Recently figured out we can Sideload Apollo app with almost all functions available. So did that.

  Thankfully never used twitter! I read valuation dropped from 44B to 9,4B recently.
