if they actually remove comments, I’m done. the API scandal got me off of Reddit and the comments being gone will get me away from YouTube. I only really watch it while I’m eating as is.
I see. Well, at least my local rehike front-end won’t break then. but still that’s so bad. I hate the new trend of every desktop site pretending you’re on an iPad in terms of layout.
If they get rid of comments I will find a way to visit them more. Video comments are freaking toxic I can’t say I’ve ever found anything useful in them either
I generally agree with you, but if you have a moment, go check out the comments to this one song. I dunno what weird human resonance it hit but all the comments are incredibly sweet and endearing even at 55m views https://youtu.be/tSv04ylc6To?si=0SNNfvvsI2aBFnWa
I disagree, and maybe my tastes are niche. I’m a very amateur gunsmith and look up how-to’s on weird shit I can’t figure out. Often the answer is in the comments.
“This guy has mostly got it, but do step B before A.”
Or:
“I had this issue and fixed it with $X.”
I’d guess a lot of technical/mechanical/niche stuff works like that? I don’t look at the comments on popular stuff.
Same. Comments are needed for pretty much everything I use Youtube for. If you’re just watching a streamer or something I guess they can go away but I’m trying to learn shit here.
I don’t visit the comments often, so I can see what you mean cuz a lot of times they can be quite toxic. But I think choosing between having them or not having them, I would choose having them just for the ones that do like the system, cuz I can just easily ignore the comments section. I also felt the same way with the dislike button though and you see what they did with that lmao
Food, especially fresh food, used to be a lot more expensive when adjusting for inflation. A canned chicken like this doesn’t look super appetizing right out of the can, but it probably tasted OK after you shredded it and put it in a casserole. And it was significantly cheaper than buying a fresh whole roasted chicken, assuming you lived somewhere that fresh whole roasted chickens were even readily available. Food like this became particularly popular during the great depression, and stuck around for decades afterwards.
Nowadays, between industrialized farming, highly optimized supply chains, and a buttload of government subsidy, fresh food is comparatively cheap. You can get a whole roasted chicken right off the spit for $5-10 at just about any grocery store. So for most people the value proposition of a $3 canned chicken isn’t really there anymore, especially if you don’t have an enormous baby-boom-era sized family to feed.
I hear you, but the underwater countdown from that game still gives me heart palpitations. A whole game of that stress would be a public health hazard.
Just watched the trailer. The number is definitely there. Though it appears after a clip of the main character describing his childhood as ‘unusual’ then showing his father, (one of the main Neo Nazi characters from the series Oz, Lee Tergesen) being paranoid abusive and reclusive.
So I’m supposing that the main character is raised by a White Nationalist Prepper and that’s the reason 1488 appears over his name. Spending the series trying to help people and deal with the indoctrination.
Was Beecher ever actually a nazi in the show? It’s been ages since I’ve watched it, but memory says he was only briefly involved with Simmons’ character in that regard, never actually a member of their gang.
Which is beside the point, but it took me a minute to parse the sentence; it looked like this new show had Beecher as the father of the main character rather than the actor playing the character’s father, so it made me wonder.
Which, thank you for providing context :)!
That means that the post is inaccurate, which is fine, but people be trippin sometimes lol.
Gods! That scene! I remember watching it with my best friend, turning to him and saying “holy shit! Did you see that?” Without even realizing what I was saying.
That’s definitely plausible, though I don’t think it’s the most likely scenario. Intentionally choosing that extremely hateful Nazi code without any other context or understanding would only serve to grab the attention of Nazis or people who know that it’s a code used by Nazis. Using this thread as anecdotal evidence, it’s not mainstream and many people don’t know it exists/think that is a big deal. I don’t see CBS advertising their new show which otherwise makes zero reference to white supremacy or Nazis by using a Nazi code.
I find the most likely reasoning to be that it way placed there intentionally but with plausible deniability to the graphic artist. “I just used a picture of an elevation map because he goes and finds people in the wilderness!”
I’d I hadn’t lived through the last 8 years, I would absolutely agree.
Unfortunately, Nazis and white supremacists have felt more emboldened and accepted than they have since WWII. Their talking points and ideologies are becoming “just another opinion” instead of a poison that must be excized. Their codes - like 1488 - are becoming more mainstream so that real Nazis and edgy teens alike blast it everywhere.
Sure, it’s not impossible that it’s a random number on a elevation map that shows no other elevations and displays the elevation prominently right above the lead actor’s name. At the very best that’s a huge oversight by a graphic designer and anyone else charged with reviewing the ad before it’s played across the country.
I find it to be more likely that it’s intentional and someone slipped it in to a part of the ad that flashes in the screen for less than a second to promote and strengthen their movement.
€10 may not be much, but as a broke gamedev student, I’m really hoping this Unity exodus is just the boost Godot needs to become more competitive with Unity.
Too early to tell, but it could signal the start of a trend where developers and game studios at least entertain the idea of having a look at other engine before going with unity.
Don’t underestimate the sunk cost of Unity. The commitment to Unity it big. Unity is taught in game classes, people are formed and specialized in it, and you might have years of in-house tools which you couldn’t re-use.
I can see hobbyist switching and game studios with games that are easy to port, like arcade-style 2d games. For a lot of studio switching is a real risk of bankruptcy, more so than the extra fees. It will take more than a few days for Unity to fall, or even have an “exodus”.
Blender was around for decades, with big name studios poking around and using it here and there along the way, then it more or less exploded. Hoping to see something similar for Godot.
Honestly, I rather hope the same for most software. FOSS is the way to go. Fuck privately owned, proprietary, spyware bullshit.
Modern appliances just aren’t as good. Check with Goodwill, or yard/estate sales. You can pick up a vintage kitchen cube that works just as well for pennies on the dollar, and it will outlast you.
We really should split ai shitposts off into a new thing. It’s a different vibe that just doesn’t entertain me as much.
It’s like people who prefer vintage games over modern ones: you can add ray tracing and advanced antialiasing and a bunch of other advanced processing techniques to the engine, but at the end of the day, some people just want dat 8-bit low-fi OG gaming purity.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !lemmyshaitpost
My sleepovers always involved Tommy, my grown up friend, appearing on the balcony and showing me how to wrestle. He taught me that the trick is to not wear any clothes so my mom won’t scold me for making them dirty.
