I also second social media, but I need to make another suggestion it’d be Keurigs k-cups. So much plastic waste for the barest level of convenience.

Geek_King ,

It’s a small plastic cup full of ground coffee, Kuerig machines use them. They generated a ton of plastic waste, since each k-cup was a single use. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/2b26d97a-e62c-4cf9-9ee1-fc1c63ff4846.jpeg

That’s a tough decision to make, especially in today’s gaming marketing, but I applaud them for stepping back and recognizing what they had wasn’t good enough to sell. Blizzard made that decisions years ago with Starcraft Ghost, the Blizzard of today wouldn’t make that same call any more.

I miss multiplayer in PC games being done by joining a server and playing. No match making bullshit, it was fun to be in a server with a mixture of skill levels. As compared with a lot of game snow, when ever your skills improve, you just get thrown into a harder tier of match making until you reach your limit and burn out.

7DTD is fun, but The Fun Pimps have made some perplexing design decisions. Luckily there are a ton of great mods that all have unique spins. I prefer the Darkness Falls mod, it fixes a lot of the stupid design decisions of the original makers, and ramps the difficulty since vanilla 7DTD can be pretty easy after you get built up. Darkness Falls adds supernatural demons to the mix in the late game, and a ton of new mechanics, I absolutely love it.

Geek_King ,

Fantastic, Undead Legacy was on my radar! My best friend and I have played hundreds of hours of Darkness Falls and have loved every moment of it. We’ve a bit worn out on DF, but I’ll keep Undead Legacy in mind the next time we want to do another play through of a 7DTD mod! What’s the “anti-bullshit” mod do by the way?

Geek_King ,

That right there is incredibly good to know. Those little changes would make it bearable! Thanks for the information!

Geek_King ,

The whole article is full of gross stuff if true. This part is ridiculous:

A 2022 story reported that a flight attendant on Musk’s private jet said he exposed himself and offered “to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage,”

Elon is such a weirdo.

Geek_King ,

Always saying the quiet part out loud.

Geek_King ,

Great video! I had no idea this even was a thing, thanks!

Geek_King ,

Seems like that maybe should be illegal.

Geek_King ,

Lofty Pursuits has already perfect the flavor of altoid sours. Their lemon and tangerine flavors are spot on. They also have green apple, which is amazing, as well as blue raspberry!

Geek_King ,

You are most welcome! I’ve spent an embarrassing amount of money on them, I love them so much.

When social media got big and seemingly every parent out there needed to post publicly every single event/picture/milestone for their kids online, it felt weird. 20 years prior, no parent would willingly share personal information like that to strangers, but suddenly parents couldn’t help themselves.

It struck me that kids would have a very public accounting of their whole life, childhood and on, in a way that I didn’t, and it probably wouldn’t be a good thing.

Geek_King ,

That’s a wall of beef. It’s like the painter hadn’t ever seen a bull, but just had a vague description and extrapolated.

Geek_King ,

Now, knowing this information, I love it even more. Thank you!

Geek_King ,

Exactly what I’d expect for something associated with Musk.

Geek_King ,

Aww, he/she looks like a badly made muppet.

MMMmmmm ::happy chamberlain noises::

Let my people go…BROTHER!

Geek_King ,

Just as the company who’s offering the service is motivated by the all consuming need to make money, so to is the journalist strives to make click bait to drive revenue. So the wheel turns.

This service is creepy as hell though, anything that’s literally a black mirror episode should probably be reconsidered as a product or service.

Geek_King ,

It’s predatory, and even worse, will prevent some people from healing through grief. The future kinda sucks.

Geek_King ,

Oh man! It’s releases on all platforms at once, even PC!!! Normally PC comes out like a year later. That’s fantastic!

Geek_King ,

I know, my best friend and I were watching like hawks, waiting for the traditional 1 year to elapse for a US console release. Normally it’s 1 year after Japan’s release then it comes out in the US on Playstation. Then 6 months too a year later it comes out on PC. It’s wonderful it’ll come out on PC at the same time as the consoles. That way my best friend and I can play on PCs in the same room, get better FPS, and larger screens since we won’t need to split screen for local coop.

I think I got my first cell phone in 2001 or 2002, it was a Kyocera 2135, or another similar model from Kyocera. My first PC is an Acer with a 75 MHz with 8 mb of RAM, came preinstalled with Windows 3.1. My family got it maybe 8 months before Windows 95 came out.

Geek_King ,

Some background on me, I’m a IT geek, I love technology, I love VR, not a huge fan of apple. I couldn’t understand the use case for the Vision Pro, especially given battery life and other odd little limitations. The hardware sounded absolutely amazing, some incredible features, but Apple really wanted to distance the headset from VR, and instead was pushing this weird idea that you’d just sit and use the head in an Augmented Reality style interface for their eco system. Imagine wearing this thing during your child’s first birthday in order to capture a 3d video.

It’s a shame, but it’s a solution looking for a problem. If they would have leaned hard into the incredible hardware to be a killer VR headset too, that may have helped a little bit. But as everyone else is saying… I’m not surprised by this outcome.

Geek_King ,

The Mouse will not be pleased…

I think you can provide lyrics yourself, can udio generate lyrics on its own? I listened to some of the staff pick songs, and they were pretty good. I’m not musically inclined, and I have zero skill in coming up with lyrics, but stuff like this and Midjourney let me be creative in ways I don’t have natural talent in.

I bet Udio is going to loathed by musicians even harder then artists hate Midjourney.

I read that Tesla being Tesla reinvented a ton of very standard components that other car manufacturers have been using for decades. So there are a lot of weird issues with Teslas that you wouldn’t see in a car from an established car maker. It’s Tesla ego which makes them think that they can design component better than a whole industry over decades and decades could.

When the Model S came out, I thought it was the height of cool, but I wouldn’t consider buying one of their vehicles now. I think the only reason they even kinda did well was that the rest of the car makers were slow to start making EVs that looked decent and were priced reasonably. Now that the big boys are in the game, Tesla has been dropping the price of some of their models to try and stay competitive. But their cars have always had quality assurance issues, and their support isn’t decent at all, since they try to blame customers for things outside of their control.

Up next, Fox News accuses walnuts of being lazy.

I think I got the most play time out of R-Type. Honorable mentions, Ghostbusters, Bomber Raid, Rambo, Space Harrier.

Geek_King ,

I can’t really say that Ghostbusters for the Master System was a GOOD game lol. I agree though, that map twisted my brain trying to understand the perspective the buildings were drawn in. I also only played the game with a money cheat so I could afford stuff. I think I beat the game a few times, the part at the end of having to time running past the Marshmallow Man sucked.

Geek_King ,

How light are “hoglets”? Because I’d think a living creature would weigh a bit more than a hat bobble.

Geek_King ,

I hope that works! I never got into digital downloads on consoles in any big way, how companies make games from the online shop inaccessible once the console goes end of life is a damn shame! It feels like the more and more consoles move toward digital only, the less we’ll have viable retro consoles in the future.

Geek_King ,

I noticed this bullshit a few days ago on my Win 11 desktop! I found if you go check the settings of the start bar, you can hide the copilot icon in the lower right, and then there’s a check box to enable the lower right hand corner to work as show desktop again. The functionality can be restore to exactly as it was, but what the hell were they thinking.

Enshitification, plain and simple.

Do we know they’re bone conducting? or is this like the head phones on the Valve Index, highly directional and focused speakers which only project sound in a very narrow band spaciously?

Geek_King ,

Thank you for inducing me to the concept that fire drills inoculate me against fire. I love it ❤️

Prions are terrifying.

I purchased Palworld today, started it up, I made a character, and walked around a bit, but I had to exit the game to go get an errand done. I get this game is aping pokemon hard, but the thing that struck me hard was how much they ripped off the “New Area Discovered” sequence Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom used. Palworld did the same behavior as I left a cave, almost the same sound/music clip, the font looked the same, the color too. Yeah, very much felt like a copy/paste, what a bizarre thing to copy.

What's the best way to manage wallpapers on multiple monitors?

I recently figured out my new setup, but one thing I’ve been struggling with are my wallpapers. I use 3 monitors, one 21:9 and two 16:9s, one of which is portrait. As a result, my wallpaper situation is messy since wallpapers for one don’t work on the others. On my old setup, I just had a big folder of backgrounds I...

Geek_King ,

I too use Display Fusion, and yes you can specify different folders for different monitors for it to pull wallpapers out randomly. It’s very important for me since my main monitor is 4k, and my second monitor is 1920x1200 in portrait, and my wallpapers are REAL DIFFERENT per monitor size and orientation wise.

Geek_King ,

I recently switched to it, and it’s night and day, it saves me a lot of time when I find exactly what I’m looking for right away. I love it!

Geek_King ,

When I first read your reply, it sounded sarcastic, and I replied as such. But I don’t think you were being sarcastic. My apologies stranger!

Geek_King ,

I have a dumb question:

So, the naming convention is confusing here, is this just the next installment of the Remake?

Geek_King ,

Ok great! I didn’t finish the first installment on PS4, so I can wait for this new release and play through the first part and second part + DLC all in one game. Sounds good to me!

Geek_King ,

I don’t understand why some companies just can’t figure out a consistent naming schedule for sequels. I’m looking at you Capcom and Street Fight Ultra Turbo Alpha Second Strike Tournament Edition with a Cherry On Top

Geek_King ,

I started using Kagi yesterday! It was a huge shock to get great results on a search at the top. Plus having those horrible spammy “Best VPNs of 2023 on bestvpns.com” all get grouped together under a heading of “Listicles” is just perfect. I’m telling co-workers about Kagi and not a single one is interested, but I’ll keep using it damn it!
