Zectivi , 1 day ago to asklemmy in Begging for all the Lemmy Audiophiles recommendations on computer speakers!

I’ve had the Eros E3.5s for a few years and they’ve not let me down on quality, especially at the price point.

I also considered those Mackie’s.

Absolutely! I did this with Ridge Racer on the PS1. I tossed in Nirvana’s Bleach album, and Love Buzz lined up near perfect with one of the game’s track numbers.

Zectivi , 2 months ago to retrogaming in Has anybody played music on their disc-based systems?

I used to on my PS1 and Saturn. Actually, the first CD I ever purchased was Nirvana’s Nevermind, and the first CD player I had to play that on was the Sega CD.

Zectivi , 3 months ago to android in Why I refuse to upgrade - 8 minutes video explaining why it's not that interesting to upgrade phones nowadays

I run GrapheneOS.

I told myself that my Pixel 8 pro will be enough for a bunch of years. That is, until I went on a trip with it. Now I feel like my Pixel 7 was better than the P8P is, with just as good of a camera with better battery life.

I’m glad I kept the p7 as a burner, because I may just make it my prime phone. I only upgraded on the prospect of a long lasting phone and received the p7 for free…

I believe what they’re getting at is an issue if they’re not already authenticated prior to the outage. Then they’d have no access to their media unless they look into the workaround for that beforehand. It has been an issue in the past, especially when Plex’s auth servers go down. I remember plenty of Reddit threads complaining about it.

Zectivi , 5 months ago to news in Washington state sues to block proposed merger of Kroger and Albertsons grocery chains

It’s probably an issue all over, and I hope it gets blocked, for the sake of consumers. Kroger acquired a company called Roundy’s which has a chain called “Pick N Save” in Wisconsin back in 2015. I remember shopping there after and seeing additional tags with products’ prices announcing the “Your New Low”, but prices were higher than pre acquisition. I stopped shopping there after that and noticing a decrease in product/brand diversity.

I was in a very similar position as you. Thirteen year user, moderator for a few smaller subreddits, including one that provided support for a US-based mobile phone carrier, and deleted everything when the API change happened.

It took time and effort to coordinate and help uplift those who generated the great content for those subreddits, but Reddit, Inc., was unwilling to help us moderators who had developed and used the tools necessary to do it. I wasn’t willing to put in the additional time since Reddit was themselves unwilling to, post API change.

In response to such critiques, Reddit spokesperson Rathschmidt said he did not “know of an industry benchmark for scoring content quality”.

(Emphasis mine)

This is the same tone deaf response I’ve come to expect from Reddit for some time now, and is why I’m happy to no longer be a user of their platform.

Agreed. It didn’t feel respectful when they started replacing mod teams that refused to reopen.

I’ll second your mayflash adapter. I have a few of those, including the GC one, and it works great!

I may not be a smart person, but aerodynamics… in space?

Zectivi , 6 months ago to linux_gaming in Suggestions for a GameCube controller for PC Linux

PowerA made a wireless GC controller for Switch. I got one and paired it with my Steamdeck. Works fine.

Also, for the Metroid Prime’s, if you’re not too hung up on playing it the original way, look into Primehack. It’s a modded Dolphin emulator with specific FPS controls for Metroid Prime. There are packages for Linux available. I think the one that worked best for me was the flatpak version.

I never knew there was a difference. Is it just the nacelle placement and the little “hump” just aft of the saucer?

Zectivi , 7 months ago to piracy in any place to find a large collection of .CHDs (PS1)?

I’ve had success finding directories of chd’s after searching for something with “archive” “.org” “ps1” “psx” and “chd” as possible search terms.
