- Comment on Sony is raising all PS5 console prices in the US by $50, starting tomorrow 2 days ago:
Wow thanks! Didn’t know that. I remember reading about it when it first came out and gamers didn’t have much compatibility and could only get standard vibration with Steam input, probably around when the console first came out. I now see there’s full support, and while most devs can use Steam input, there’s a new DSX version for PS5 that claims to support adaptive trigger haptics on Windows. I game on my PC with KBM and an Xbox Series controller though. I don’t know how well PS5 haptics will work on my Linux PC though.

Astro Bot. I’d argue it is a system seller. It’s as wonderful as Mario Odyssey was for the Switch 1, one of the greatest platforming adventure fames I’ve ever played, has a breathtaking soundtrack, gorgeous visuals and art style, incredible dynamic controls especially with the PS5 haptics, and a top 10 game for me. I had so much fun playing both Astro Bot (paid) and Astro Bot’s Play Room (free game). This absolutely deserved game of the year, and I’m happy it won. Asobo (developer) showed their full passion and love for gaming in this gem, and to play it is well worth the price of a PS5 in my opinion.
I hope it’ll come to PC one day so that others can experience it. PC won’t have the tantalising PS5 haptics that immerse you into the game, but regardless, it’s a magnificent game that I want everyone to experience. I can’t praise Astro Bot enough, it’s such a gem.

Geoffrey Epstein is a great pediatrician. Protects his patients and even advocates on behalf of them. He also makes sure to recommend only heavily tested and quality medicine for his patients, even when suspect companies approach him offering him incentives for recommending new medicines without much verification and testing yet.
Geoffrey Epstein is ethical. Geoffrey Epstein didn’t shill himself.

I’m been browsing Craigslist trying to find a 27” Sony Trinitron.
Maybe I need a VHS player to go along with it.

- Comment on Reality vs Fantasy 5 weeks ago:
In American English, the article “an” is used for a vowel sound to separate the words so they don’t blend together when speaking.
Normally, “a” always precedents a consonant, while “an” precedes a vowel. But “an” also precedes vowel sounds - I.e., the sound of the letter of the beginning of a word.
An apple A banana An hour
Hour starts with a consonant, but is pronounced with a vowel sound at the beginning. Thus, it is not “a hour” and rather “an hour”.
In the case of the example from the meme, id argue that either article works:
- A “I’m…” - Typically when speaking, a person has a brief pause before they begin the quote. Since that pause would be enough to distinctly indicate two separate words, this sounds fine when being verbally spoken.
- An “I’m…” - Looks great in text and would be the correct way to list it grammatically. However when speaking this aloud, since the person would have a brief pause when saying “an” and then the quote, it probably wouldn’t sound as great to some others.
My take - I like “an ‘I’m…’” best. Both in text and verbal form. Others may disagree as far as verbally said; however, grammatically in written form this is how it should be.

Split Fiction is worth the MSRP. Ideally it’s great if you can get it on a discount, but this is one of the few games I’d pay full price for. My spouse and I loved it.

+1 for Beyond Good & Evil.
For those unfamiliar with this game, this was early 2000s Ubisoft when they used to be creative, celebrated, and original.

Enjoy your coming Steam Deck! It’s incredible to have your PC library in your hands in a very comfortable device! Every now and then I fire up my old ROMs that I backed up back in the day, so I’ve been dabbling with X-Men Legends on GameCube.
+1 for Control. Played it a few years ago and had a wonderful time with it.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 4 months ago:
Already upgraded to Linux Mint - lemmy.world/post/24365609
It’s been going great! Everything works as I expected. I now have full confidence that I will never switch back to Windows. It really does feel liberating having an OS that doesn’t track me.

Yep, these are public ledgers. If you run a full node you can see the transactions yourself. Or, you can just use services online and explore the blockchain itself by searching a Bitcoin address.
Here’s the activity of the mentioned BTC address: blockchain.com/…/1H5qsQHFgQbLGgk1qDMTBiVFaxBdSZVF…
At time of this comment, it’s a brand new address and has made no transactions. Wallet balance is 0 BTC.
For the other address, Litecoin, I don’t know anything about that crypto so I can’t find it when I search online LTC explorers. Don’t know if LTC is a public ledger like BTC, and frankly I don’t care enough to find out.

Yep we really do love them. Hopefully persons keep up the engagement on your posts. And also, hoping we’ll get some more to help create content in this exciting sphere. Thanks for what you do and glad you get a kick out of this! I’ll explore how I can try to help create some content too that inspires me. Something I can nerd out about as well!

Fair point, was curious if there was a reason beyond what I suspected. I love his comedy, but my opinion of course. Totally okay for you to have your own preference and recognise you don’t find that style funny at all.
