Yes, I’d definitely rather have a fucking dead site than see pictures of people’s pretty DEs that they’re proud of, and read discussions about why people like or don’t like certain things. Just a dead void of nothing sounds so superior to that as a newer user of GUI Linux distros instead of just headless. Thanks for telling me that I’m an EnShiTTiFiEr because you only want… I don’t even know what you fuckin want, some exclusive club with a post a day about what? Go make your own shitty specific club then and only let people in who post… whatever garbage you wanna see instead and see how long that lasts

Ah yes, exactly what Lemmy needs at this point: fewer posts and fractured communities, that’ll certainly help make the platform better in its infancy.

I was just looking at app permissions and tracking of some podcast apps and Spotify is a nightmare, christ…

You can customize your forward-skipping amount of time (and hotkeys for AirPods, if you’re into that) in Overcast! I used Apple Podcasts for a while, then like a few years ago (okay it was like a decade now) they updated the UI for their app and I hated it. Switched to Overcast after checking out a few other options and it’s amazing.

Then they updated Overcast and it all went to shit. It was the worst update to an app I’ve ever seen. Apparently to move it into a new engine or something, but then removing the ability to listen to podcasts as they download, and podcasts would randomly just stop and delete themselves. Awful.

That was fixed pretty quickly, it’s back to being great. But I’m a little nervous about any app I like aaaaaa

Side note: While checking out other podcast apps, I saw a few others that people really liked, mainly Pocket Casts. Check the tracking info and data collection before you download anything. Pocket Casts is invasive, “Podcast App” is invasive and looks shady as hell, Audible is more invasive, Spotify is a privacy NIGHTMARE holy shit look at all that shit it hoovers up.

oops morning adderall podcast app rant I guess

My favorite “Diablo II” runeword!

I’m with you, and I felt Ragnarok (and to a lesser extent, the original God Of War PS…4?) were also Marvel-style slop. Ragnarok was paaaainful.

Love hearing SungWon Cho anywhere and everywhere, though.

Ny Chemical Romance!

Yah I don’t like that at all! I have no idea what that be, but that would squick me out, too.

Our bois will be in the corner, then mad dash out of the bedroom and hide. It’s always used Q-tips.

That’s WILD! Zojirushi makes good stuff, I love my rice cooker. But cleaning water bottle DAILY or it moulds?! I have a couple yeti bottles I use every day and bring everywhere and I soap-clean them uhhhhhh… sometimes. I just rinse my water bottles every so often, and wash my coffee bottle with soap every couple days.

I think I soap-wash my water bottles a few times monthly, and I’ve never had mould on them, ever!

Extremely interesting, thank you for the recommendations!

lol ur the guy who thinks that making sounds with haptics in a controller will make it smoke somehow

nobody should listen to you

Thank you! Xbox and PS3 games hold up, sometimes… sometimes not, for me. Most GC/DC/PS2 games hold up great for me. Most stuff before that looks excellent still (sometimes requiring a CRT.)

What does 6th and 7th gen mean?

I want games with 90s to mid 2000s graphics. FMV was the height of graphics hahaha

My 2018 machine (9900k at 5GHz) blows every phone the fuck away, I’m for sure going to be using it in two years.

Shit, I have a 2014 machine that’s my dedicated VR machine for anything that doesn’t need crazy power (most VR games, honestly), 4790k and a 2070s.

What specs do you have that my phone would benchmark better than lawl

That’s unnecessarily condescending, they weren’t shitting on the first game.

The rest of their games ranged from “meh” to “holy fuck this is terrible” (bloom and rage) but the first game was genuinely fun and enjoyable.

The writing is by far the best, too. It’s a bit cringe in a clever, “yeah, I was definitely cringe in high school too” kinda way. No super painful moments, just fun/funny and sometimes mega dark. The games get more and more painful as they go on… the second game was blah, true colors was mostly pretty painful dialogue- and story-wise, and Bloom and Rage was hilariously bad, like comically horribly bad. All of the characters were horribly written and had insanely bad dialogue.

I really need to play Before the Storm! I’d also happily replay the first game… I played it near when it came out, with my partner. We both really enjoyed it.
