Draconic NEO

It would be cool if there were a custom Lemmy-UI CSS theme that mimicked the Text based look of the BBS terminal interface but still gave the full functionality and allowed you to view images in posts and banners.

I used neonmodem once, was kind of buggy but it worked alright for reading text based posts. I wasn’t able to login though.

Probably a good call since Bungie clearly plagiarized a lot of the art in this game from artist ANTIREAL.

It’s not like this game was going to be remarkable anyway.

A lot of the posts to the /lgbt/ board (some people refer to it as /tttt/ for certain reasons) are self-hatred posts, also most of the people who post there are nasty people who have been banned from other spaces for gatekeeping or attacking other queer people i.e. Transmedicalists, and Nonbinary exclusionists (people who don’t believe that Nonbinary people are valid at all).

So yeah I do think there is a lot of cognitive dissonance in people posting there, either people who hate themselves and feel the hate is justified, or people who think they’re the only real gay or trans people and everyone else outside their group is posing. Basically, either extemely misguided, or extremely nasty people.

I don’t think anyone is arguing against their right to sell it, they’re being called out because people really shouldn’t buy it. It’s kind of a bad financial decision. If you still want to that’s your decision but people shouldn’t buy it without knowing they could get a better deal elsewhere. That’s why these things get called out for being too expensive, not because they aren’t or shouldn’t be allowed to, but because people deserve to know it’s a horrible deal.

Also depends highly on the seed (RNG) not all AI generation tools let you choose that but some do. Different seeds can produce wildly different results on the same model even, AI image gen relies heavily on randomness.

Honestly I don’t even want to know what cursed abomination it would conceive of me. Probably would think that I look like a DnD nerd, stereotypical computer nerd, or might just draw me as a straight up dragon or dragonborne. Hard to say. Especially since I’ve been using temp chats lately.

There are a handful of online games I do like to play, generally ones without competitive elements, and I limit online gaming to people I actually know. But yeah most of the games I do play are single-player.

You can play way more than just Aperture Desk Job for free, a lot of games on Steam these days are Free, and I’m not talking about free to play. I’m not sure but I don’t remember there being any full free games on the eshop, F2P yes but developers there never opted to make their games just free. Some devs on Steam absolutely have.

I’ve kind of given up on the idea of playing those types of competitive online games, not just because of people cheating in them but also because of how the community these days addresses cheating, by witch-hunting and accusing people of cheating for being too good, or for sucking at the game, or for having opinions on surveillance and security (sometimes just because for being queer). They also often harass these people they target. I have hundreds of toxic assholes on Steam blocked for this behavior alone because they came to my profile to harass me.

A large majority of Physical games have secretly been made as one-time activation keys, and aren’t really a physical game in any meaningful sense since most of the game isn’t on the disc. Physical games at this point are more of a semantic argument to distract people from the real question, when will online DRM and activation completely take over?

I’ve seen this before, though back then they used the original Raspberry Pi Zero and that one was less powerful.

Shameful clickbait article which doesn’t even seem to mention the game that was supposedly shut down. This person should be ashamed for writing this and honestly you should be ashamed for posting it. This is an utterly useless article.

Yeah I wouldn’t say any of the controller or remote control typing implementations are quick or easy. Even on Kodi I use an external keyboard (built into the remote control I got for my libreElec media player).

I never actually bought an AMD card per say but I have been very disappointed with Nvidia and their laptop GPUs. It feels like those things put out more heat than work.

Recently got a laptop with an AMD GPU and CPU and it’s like night and day difference.

I wouldn’t entirely agree, it’s shit because Google and Apple enable the practice by providing app Advertising frameworks and fighting back against people working against those systems (i.e. mobile ad blocking and app firewalls, either through store policy or public discouragement).

Developers are incentivised because advertising both:

1. Gives reoccurring revenue, beyond what a purchase would give.
2. It makes people more likely to pick them up since people easily pick things up that are cheap or even free.

Advertising basically takes away the need to sell stuff and allows poaching revenue from people even if they don’t want to support the app. I’ve known many Devs who will try to eek out more revenue by click fraud (auto clicking their own ads).

So I’m not really a fan of implying this is our fault or “devs gotta eat too”. This practice is very much corporate greed.

I don’t think that is the case, I played Minecraft more than any other game on the Deck and it doesn’t show, also didn’t show last year either.

Not exactly the most exciting year for me, I don’t know if non-steam games are counted as “sessions” there, if they aren’t my count might’ve been higher (I played a lot of Minecraft on my Steam Deck).

I think the Era of consoles needs to come to an end and we need to transition to exclusively open PC-based or PC-Like platforms with Dedicated UIs to replicate the console experience (like Steam’s Big Picture) but on an open hardware and software platform.

Either way they’re eroding their credibility very very quickly.

Edit: He literally made a comment claiming he’s going to make a game about a porn studio. I don’t think we can say he isn’t a troll at this point.
