Sibbo , to patientgamers in Just finished RAGE, moving on to play RAGE 2.

Rage 2 was even free on the epic games store at some point. Surprisingly fun open world shooter.

This was a classic Star Trek episode.

ace_garp , to retrogaming in Good PS1 games that weren't made in Japan?
@ace_garp@lemmy.world avatar

Wipeout 2097 (Wipeout 1 had broken collision detection, no wall grinds. Avoid.)

Driver or Driver 2

Micro Machines (multiplayer best)

Twisted Metal 2 World Tour (multiplayer)

Destruction Derby

G-Police was not bad too.

Japanese recommendations : PaRappa or Tekken 3.

Avoid any FPS or FIFA, all laced with frustration.

OrkneyKomodo , to gaming in Does anyone else sometimes feel overwhelmed by (big) games?

I find Elden Ring a bit frustrating because of the complete lack of any way to keep track of quests. I've resorted to using a notes app. Even then, I'm sure I've missed off finishing some of the earlier stuff from before I started taking notes.

ancoraunamoka , to piracy in Is Soulseek safe?

As someone who used those during their peak, I’m well aware of the risks of getting unwanted stuff, not to mention that you’re fully exposed within the network.

I have been using it behind a vpn and so far never had a problem. I have never had so many “thank you” from any other old school p2p software

I thought this episode was fantastic.

The pacing was good, the interactions between Kirk and La'an were fun, and the closing acts were a real gut wrench. Being forced through such a traumatic situation and completely unable to talk with anyone about it is a piece of the time travel/Prime Directive secrecy that Star Trek hasn't really dug it's teeth into before, and there's clearly something very powerful to work with here.

Also, hilarious use of their immortal chief engineer. In retrospect, no surprise that someone in that position wouldn't maintain exactly the same hobbies and skills throughout the centuries, and also no real shock that this particular individual got her jollies stealing priceless artwork. And then arguing statute of limitations when she is challenged on it centuries later? Brilliant.

I do not give the slightest of damns about a TOS one-liner placing Kahn in the 1990s. This is a good story which wouldn't work properly otherwise, and that was a poor choice from writers who couldn't have possibly known better. Absolutely do not care, and so much happier for it.

After a fairly meh first episode, SNW S2 has reeled off a pair of real bangers. Looking forward to the next installment.

But they also managed to explain the moving of the Eugenics Wars as the result of time hijinks, some of which we’ve seen on screen. I think this is a credible explanation Star Trek can use for TOS retcons without being too dismissive of canon.

My uncle convinced my parents to buy me a 3DO instead of a PlayStation.

venia_sil , to fediverse in How do I deal with "fractured" communities?

You start with a false premise:

An example, if there are like 10+ different communities for “technology”, do I really have to subscribe to all of them just to get the same experience I would have gotten on /r/technology?

r/technology was never the only technology subreddit. There was retro, retrotechnology, who knows perhaps something like bambootechnology, cartechnology, etc. So you never had that experience. You had the same experience you would and do have here, except there it was tinted with a veil of capitalism to keep you submissive. What you are seeing now, is the normal, always has been (insert “always has been” meme). The “big pharmas” of the internet are actually the outlier.

As for the task of “clumping” those communities, I’d surmise in the “content fetching” form that would be the task of a community aggregator, like lemmy itself if eventually a “lists” feature is added, or if communities are allowed to follow each other. Or, if we keep the cross-aggregation separate from the content posting, so that it’s possible to do both or either witout requiring a super VPS, maybe a webring could do it. I remember webrings from the 90s. They were cool.

BobbyBandwidth , to showerthoughts in I see Reddit going down the same path as Facebook. A ad-ridden platform without the young and savvy, full of boomers posting bad memes and politics.
@BobbyBandwidth@lemmy.world avatar

So tired of being advertised to. The hilarious / depressing thing is that these companies make a few dollars per user per quarter, so basically our privacy is sold for $5. Id rather just donate that to a lemmy instance.

Man poor La’an. That ending broke my heart.

renrenPDX , to lemmyshitpost in the API changes occur tomorrow, gentlemen, it's been an honor (inb4 Lemmy completely crashes)

Man, if you told me a couple months ago, that I would stop using Reddit, I wouldn’t believe you. I’ve been on it over a decade. It took Spez ONE MONTH to undo everything and make that a reality.

vimdiesel , to showerthoughts in Why do we use base 60 for time and base 10 for everything else. Why has no one decided to integrate it.

Time isn’t base 60 any more than a foot is base 12.

von_zyl0 , to lemmyshitpost in the API changes occur tomorrow, gentlemen, it's been an honor (inb4 Lemmy completely crashes)

10+ yr rif user, bring it Lemmy

cccc , to explainlikeimfive in Why are big platforms shutting down third-party Apps? Should an average user be worried?

Most third-party apps don’t show ads which lessens the potential revenue for the first-party. Their idea is that by stopping these options, people will use the “official” methods which will allow serving of ads.

boyi , to nostupidquestions in Will Lemmy.ml registration reopen?

You'd be better off at other instances. Lemmy.ml blocks 40+ instances which is quite high. You'd won't be other what happens there.
