  Probably won’t go that far. I hope they do make something great, but yeah.

  Rarity was my #…1 or 2 pone. I could never decide if I liked Pinkie or Rarity better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How true is this on the first trip visiting Japan?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I was pretty pleased to discover that I could OCR and translate Japanese ROMs to English using local models that fit within my 6GB of VRAM on my laptop. I wouldn’t want to play a narrative heavy game that way, but it was sufficient to read menus and make choices in more action oriented games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You've Just Been Hit By The Metric System Boys⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I only use metric when it’s in forms nobody else uses or recognizes at a glance because I need to be difficult. Decimeter is perfect for like, height of a person, for example. Why do they use CM?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please, for the love of sanity stop using Reddit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not a problem like it is on Reddit though because the admins/moderators on lemmy.ml can’t censor the network, just the coms they moderate. Using instances and coms that have moderation policies you prefer will always be an option, there’s no single authority.

  I’m all for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨furries in shambles⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think in fantasy you do have what can only be called non-human people. The word definition for the word “person” tends to include “human,” but only because in real like human persons are the only ones that exist.

  No! Please, reconsider!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays an RPG⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is similar to why I actually came to like the rapidly breaking weapons in the Switch Zelda games. Once my mindset became “don’t bother hoarding good weapons, just use whatever you want because you’ll just find new ones all the time” it stopped being annoying and instead kept things fresh.

  I followed it for couple of seasons before realizing that I didn’t care about anything happening in it. It happens!

  Its nasty to do that to a tiger, but if people want to feed me, get me high on ketamine and pet me I’m fine with it.

  The low resolution screenshot they include is hilarious. It’s impossible to tell what I’m looking at.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨...?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, empty shelves in a store like this are generally hard to find!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They really hate artists⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with you. Artists aren’t a neat, blackbox they can shove instructions into and get out a perfectly formed product on the first round, but neither is anybody else.

  That said, artists aren’t the only group of workers they hope to replace with AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All workers deserve the same Paid Time Off deal as Mitch.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yet another reason to be dissatisfied with employer provided health insurance. They want to be the provider of health insurance coverage so that its availability can be used as leverage against workers, and if you need to actually use in any significant way you’ll be punished.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Drop your unpopular opinions here because c/unpopularopinions is filled with popular opinions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know not everyone would agree with this, but I think art is an important part of society and failing to foster it leads to negative outcomes. Despite this, there is not always a “free market” purpose to sponsor artists. I think this has been acknowledged in the past and the gap has been filled by wealthy patronage and state sponsorship for the arts, but these sources of funding can have an outsized affect on the shape of the art it produces. I’m not sure I have a solution to that, outside of perhaps a universal basic income that allows people to pursue creative expression without fear of becoming destitute.

  And I’m tempted to say “not everyone with a deviantart profile is contributing positively to the culture” but honestly, who am I to make that judgement?

  All that said, yeah, I don’t think we need to be reverent of individual artists any more than we should be for anyone else filling a role in society.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Drop your unpopular opinions here because c/unpopularopinions is filled with popular opinions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I posted an unpopular opinion there and people just downvoted it and got mad, lol.

  Basically I said that complaining about a paywalled article in comments is annoying and contributes nothing, especially if it’s from an independent long form writer. If someone links to paid media and you don’t want to pay, the post isn’t for you. Just go away.

  Some people said “nooo if you make a post and I can’t see the content without paying you’re being a meanie because I can’t participate”

  Not every post is for everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lord give me strength⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty much

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Going Back ↪️🏨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe I misunderstand the parking pass thing, but I’m not sure why you would get the money back just because you didn’t use it. My assumption (which may be wrong!) is that while you had that pass, capacity was allocated to you and could not be sold to someone else. Like buying a seat ticket and not showing up.

  That said, I wouldn’t be shocked to learn that isn’t quite the case. I should probably give you the benefit of the doubt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When they didn't read the manual⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have long preferred “natural” (“Inverted” in KDE) for touchpads, and the opposite for mouse scroll wheels. Until reading this thread, I don’t think I’ve thought about it that much.

  I just experimented with switching, and I dunno… I might try using inverted for both for a while. They both feel fine for me after a few seconds of orientation.
