You get sent to ad prison for re-education.
- Comment on Hulu quizzing about the ads played 5 hours ago:
I was on Amazon Prime for years.
Then in the space of one year they decided that listening to an album in order was now a “premium” feature, and that ads would be shovelled into everything.
Sure, I lost the “free” shipping, so now I hardly buy anything from Amazon either. I see this as an absolute win.

Ooh, I know the answer!

I like to start with the dynamite when they’re doing the racist Hokey Cokey.

As predicted, here comes the Trumper Youth.
Watch him insist on it being run by Truth Social, and be filled with noisy cunt videos of immigrants being hilariously deported at gunpoint.

There’s a dentist in the picture?

What the hell is a soda fountain if not the dispenser that still exists in every fast food restaurant and bar in the world?
That article feels written by AI.

You could. But realistically how many have?

If it wasn’t for the fact that a lot of people here have a good sized Steam library, I doubt they’d have a Steam Deck either.
It’s more a “bonus way to play about half your PC games on the toilet” than it is a primary gaming platform.
- Comment on Boomers with their loud Samsung phone sounds 3 days ago:
Somebody was playing shitty rap/drill music on the train a couple of years back.
I thought I might have to be the one to tell him, but then he made a call on speakerphone explaining to somebody that he’d just got out of prison and was looking for somewhere to stay.
I decided not to tell him after all.

Pros: Having sex.

I was stopped on the way to work and asked where a particular street was. I had no idea.
I saw it a few minutes later. I had crossed it every day for 20 years.
- Comment on Anon is a gamer 1 week ago:
It is, but I’m struggling to think of many games that do all those things like that, and certainly not past an initial tutorial.
Far worse is the puzzle part of every action game that gives you the goddamn solution before you’ve even had ten seconds to think about it. God of War Ragnarok is by far the worst offender for this in recent memory. You couldn’t turn it off at all.
- Comment on Anon is a gamer 1 week ago:
I can see where that shit comes from though.
Half the games these days are so fucking cluttered you need shit like that and “detective vision” or whatever to even distinguish the interactable objects from the scenery. The later Tomb Raider reboots are the fucking worst for this.
- Comment on Anon is a gamer 1 week ago:
Yeah, but at least that was a joke to introduce you to the jump button.
- Comment on Anon makes a troubling connection 1 week ago:
Your average 4channer didn’t need anime girls to stop them having sex.
Their hygiene and misogyny did most of the heavy lifting there.
- Comment on Skyrim teaches a Lemmy user about fascist propaganda 1 week ago:
No, it’s an odd one because you can do pretty much every quest for both sides right up until the end, and then it just goes “pick one and kill the other”.
Kind of robs the game of a satisfying conclusion, but at the same time is like real life in that there’s very rarely a perfect choice. You could always abstain and not do it of course.
I sided with the filthy Imperials, mostly because I couldn’t really think of any of them I hated, while Ulfric’s second-in-command rubbed me up the wrong way.
- Comment on Did anyone here ever actually play the Mousetrap board game or use the cards in Operation? 1 week ago:
There were cards in Operation?
If there were, then they’d long been lost by the time that well used game found its way into my hands.

It’s ok, your phone tracks your location.
So leave it at home when you go on that crime spree.
- Comment on The future of Blu-ray is looking bleak (and that's a bad thing for everyone) 1 week ago:
Consoles don’t support Dolby Vision from disc. Which is honestly shit, because whatever licensing costs they’d incur would be a miniscule sliver compared to the price of the unit.
- Comment on Anon expects more 1 week ago:
I’m not really sure on which planet they think Larian is a AA developer. BG3 was certainly north of $100 million to make, and had like 300 people working on it.
Ubisoft recently coined AAAA games in order to justify price rises on their latest mediocre drivel, and the only games I’ve seen that deserve the term AAAA are BG3 and Red Dead Redemption 2.
To me, that’s a product where absolutely no compromise has been made.

Like that would happen when they can sell £4 cables for £300.

Their whole gaming business model now is encouraging devs to stick features that have no hope of rendering quickly in order to sell this new frame generation rubbish.

They’re not even pretending to be affordable any more.
- Comment on Why don't we have motion smoothing on current consoles? 1 week ago:
Because it’s not a good way to get from 30fps to 60. It’s a way to go from 60 to 120 (and 240 on the new 50x0 series) where you won’t notice the extra latency.
Most 30fps games on consoles have a 60 fps setting anyway, that turns off the extra graphical wankery and tones the resolution down a touch.

As if they’d ever let you skip adverts, even by dancing for them like a monkey.

There’s no HDR on Linux solutions. And I do like the HDR.
You can at least swap out the launcher and remap the buttons on the nVidia Shield Pro if you’re that way inclined. It’s not perfect, but there’s fewer compromises.
You get the full fat versions of paid streaming services as well, although I mostly use Jellyfin now.
The only MiniPC solution that does everything right now is going to involve Windows 11…
