People, especially those who run games on monitors with hi resolution, sleep on the fact that you can easily turn AA off to get a massive boost in performance for virtually no degradation of graphics.

What in the world are you talking about…? I was using my GTX 970 for five years before I got a used RTX 2060, which I sold to my brother after two years. I’m nor running an RX 9070 XT and it looks like it’ll do its job for at least 5 years.

Top rated free games: itch.io/games/top-rated/free.
I personally don’t play on Itch that much, but I just had a looksie today and found something that seems to be the spiritual child of Trackmania: kodub.itch.io/polytrack.
- Comment on Anon misses flash 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, it’s just unsubstantiated “looking back through rose tinted glasses” kind of thing.
- Comment on Anon misses flash 2 weeks ago:
Nonsense.
You have RPG games, rogue-likes, VNs, puzzles - literally all the kinds of games in existence are right there on Itch. It’s exactly like back when Flash was popular, only this time it’s more secure and less resource hungry (most of the time).
- Comment on Anon misses flash 2 weeks ago:
People who have no clue what they’re talking about be like:
I mean, seriously… Celebrating FLASH of all things? And complaining that there are no more free amateur games? MF, never heard of Unity? Godot? O3DE? Defold? GDevelop? OGRE? renpy? pygame? stride?
The worst of these still being infinitely better than Flash. And then you can publish your work at Itch.io.

Sure they were! Nothing happening over there had anything to do with the women that were kidnapped, raped, and/or killed in the custody of the Guidance Patrol! Everybody celebrated these as beautiful moments of religious expression!

Yeah, clearly the ones still in Iran absolutely loved him. To the point where they recently went out to the streets to show their support, right?

LOL, good one :D

The ideal scenario, now that the greybeard kicked the bucket, is for Iran to fire a ballistic missile straight at Netanyahu’s arse, Krasnov suffering a heart attack, and Vlad just watching his entire country crumble to bits as his economy dies, and his military collapses from lack of manpower.
Not sure about Xi. Maybe a fishing boat accident.

i think israel should also exist, its absolutely stupid to propose it be removed cause then you have the problem of a bunch of jews having nowhere to go again
And, more importantly, you lose the moral ground on which you get to protest the Palestinian genocide when you’re advocating for Israeli genocide.
(“you” here is “a person”, not you, @AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip)
On the other hand they should be sanctioned and stopped from commiting constant warcrimes and palestinians live their lives in their rightful territory
Absolutely agree. UN forces should secure the borders (as they were originally defined) and consider any settler a terrorist.
The russia situation is a bit different. Theres no real reason for its existance. Its a bunch of russians opressing minorities, they should have their own country if were following the ethnostate idea. At very least european and asian russia should be seperate countries. But yeah thats never happening.
Yup. I kind of hope that their economy crashing will allow the eastern provinces to reach independence, but at the same time I realise that it would be suicide for them. Like, even if they somehow managed to get the money and food to supply and govern themselves, there’s no reality in which China doesn’t immediately swoop in and grab half of Siberia.

Seems like Workrave is also available on Linux. Did you not know that or did you recommend RSIBreak for Linux because you think it’s better?
- Comment on Current events dictate that I post this. 4 weeks ago:
This is somehow controversial, but I firmly believe that all of them, Ukraine, Palestine, Israel, Iran, everyone else, deserves an independent nation free of totalitarian dictators or religious fundamentalists.

Just FYI - “bowls” are the things you puke into, “bowels” are the things food never reached and therefore became puke.

I am normally used to high fantasy where the worldbuilding makes sense, but harry potter just flows like she thought of what could come next, and that’s it.
Just a quick reminder that she designed Quidditch specifically in a way that would infuriate any person even remotely familiar with how sports games work, because she wanted to “bet back at” a guy who dumped her.

I’m old enough to not have to rely on mass media to know how my reality looked like during the russian occupation, mate.
Also: you pinpointed shit, but don’t let me stop you from patting yourself on the back. :)

You need to educate yourself.
MAGA loves licking the russian boot.
Nobody who suffered under USSR would ever say “times were hard but better”.
- Comment on The meaning of life? 4 weeks ago:
where this conspiracy theory is most promoted
What “conspiracy theory” do you mean?
It’s a historical, provable fact that russia invaded the Baltics, Poland, Czechoslovakia and a bunch of other countries in the East, installed puppet governments, and unified everything as “USSR” (with some countries, like Poland, having a bit more independence, and technically wasn’t a part of the USSR).
People in the Baltics are extremely russophobic
“Russophobic”? We’re not afraid of them, we just don’t like them for the hundreds of years of meddling and suffering they’ve caused us. Again, it’s not a conspiracy theory, it’s history.
- Comment on The meaning of life? 4 weeks ago:
Your far-right nationalist great replacement conspiracy theories aren’t factual. (…)
No idea what does that have to do with anything. Please elaborate.
- Comment on The meaning of life? 4 weeks ago:
Most people polled in most eastern Europe post-Soviet countries who lived in socialism (except a few like Poland or Estonia) claim that life was better under socialism
I remember the poll you’re referring to. It was click-bait articles that made it sound like that, the actual research stated nothing like this.
They were basically “did you enjoy your life when you were young” kind of questions. And, to the apparent shock of everybody, when you ask an 70-80 year old that question, they’ll answer “yes”.
The only people who think fondly of the times under russian occupation are the people who were a part of the system.
- Comment on The meaning of life? 4 weeks ago:
I really hope this is a joke, mate…
If not: no, no it wasn’t. Unless by “USSR” you mean “Petersburg, Moscow, and their immediate surroundings”.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is, in fact, the objective truth.
- Comment on My father the tween literary critic 5 weeks ago:
As with literally everything else, there’s good YA and bad YA.
Check out Brandon Sanderson’s “Mistborn” or “Skyward”. I’d say they’re both the “good YA” kind where danger is real (as much as any danger towards the protagonist before the very end of the book, obviously they won’t get killed off in the first chapter) and the story relatively original. The world-building is excellent, though.
