I play with a couple of friends in the Baltics. I have PSN. There is no PSN in the Baltics. So I guess I can’t play with the friends I solely bought this game for.

Just because it doesn’t affect you doesn’t mean it’s silly to complain about this.

sigmaklimgrindset ,

No because it is not available in their country, and making an account with a region different from your Steam account would have inherent EULA risks.

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Where is this from?? Is this AI?

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Thank you, I just read the Wikipedia summary of the event, and I can’t believe this isn’t even as big as the “Big One” everyone talks about for Yellowstone.

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Haha, yea, I wasn’t born in the right decade on the right continent to know about this, so I had a really good time learning about something new!

The only reason I even know about the Yellowstone caldera eruption zone is because my American cousin once told me about it in the form of a horror story when we were both younger, and I started crying because I thought the world was going to end while we were visiting Connecticut, lol.

I’m scared about the monetization of FFXIV now…

Congrats on successfully defeating your thesis!

Help I am stuck in a science loop

Nintendo first party IP alone can carry them through, not to mention the national pride Japan has towards their success. Western Sales are nice, but I don’t think they put as much attention into them.

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Emulator on Steamdeck is unironically the best way to play Switch games. I say this as the owner of multiple Switches.

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Pirating nintendo games feels so good

Their music too, because WHY TF ARE THE ZELDA SOUNDTRACKS NOT ON STREAMING??? They don’t even sell physical copies of them to compensate, and they took down all the Youtube videos of songs too!

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Why are two (presumed) heterosexual people thinking so much and so deeply about gay sex that they have fully formed opinions on it? Isn’t that a bit weird?

sigmaklimgrindset ,

It’s hard to tell if a person is seriously expressing their opinion or doing a satirical bit on the internet nowadays. See: the creation of r/the_donald in 2015/16 vs …well…yeah.

Ngl, the Samsung foldables look sick as hell. But I’m not ready to go back to OneUI bloat or whatever they’re doing with SamsungAI.

sigmaklimgrindset ,

For me personally, I use it when I’m using speech-to-text and unable to type/use the keyboard because of whatever else is in my hands, and I’m walking somewhere.

It’s a very niche feature tbh, but convenient to have when I’m in the niche.

I want to switch to Linux, but I honestly don’t know how/where to even start or the proper way to even ask.

I asked once on a Linux forum when the whole Cortana debacle happened, and I was called a moron or sent a link to “Linux from scratch”…which was definitely above my technical knowledge at the time. I’ve been scared to post on Linux communities ever since lol

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Oh absolutely. Looking back I probably asked in a hardcore Linux enthusiast community (no fault to them, we all get tired of our parents/siblings/coworkers asking us to “fix the wif”)

I just don’t know where the Linux-noob safe spaces are. Is Lemmy’s Linux community one?

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Thank you so much for writing this out, I really appreciate it! Looks like I’ll be installing Mint on my old laptop this weekend to see how I fair.

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Thank you, I’ll take a look at the video and at the Lemmy Linux communities!

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Thanks for the link, I’ll take a look at the guide over the weekend! Someone already mentioned Linux Mint as a starter, but if I have any questions I’ll definitely take you up on the DM offer!

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Thank you for the links! Someone else has also mentioned Mint, and I love the Win7 interface, so that’s probably what I’ll be playing around with.

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Uh, the Lemmy circlejerk definitely exists.

Redditors Vent and Complain When People Mock Their "AI Art" (futurism.com)

Setting aside the usual arguments on the anti- and pro-AI art debate and the nature of creativity itself, perhaps the negative reaction that the Redditor encountered is part of a sea change in opinion among many people that think corporate AI platforms are exploitive and extractive in nature because their datasets rely on...

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Wow this really succinctly describes what I feel whenever I see AI art. It’s just an overwhelming feeling of indifference.

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Wait bats have scrotums??

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Why are there so many comments in the thread going “Omg great ad/marketing idea!!”, that’s so weird…

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Lemmy has astroturfing? Where??? The Linux bros? They just seem like they REALLY love Linux (and good for them, everyone needs hobbies).

'Influencer fatigue' is real and young people are getting tired of it (www.yahoo.com)

Although the spectacle of influencers flaunting their affluence has long been a staple of social media, there are signs that audiences are growing tired of it. Experts say “influencer fatigue” is wearing on young people who crave authenticity as inflation rises and achieving a stable livelihood becomes increasingly...

sigmaklimgrindset ,

The “Halo Effect” has been a known psychological phenomenon since 1907 researched by uh…Wells and someone else who I can’t remember.

I don’t want to rain on your cranky old man parade, but unless you’re 100+ years old I don’t think it was ever just “being a gullible dumbass”, it’s very much a known societal bias that has been leveraged by the advertising industry. Don’t think you’re immune to it just because you think you’re “above it”.

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Um…why did I get this warning when I clicked your link…?

Facts sister/brother, spit your shit indeed!

Everyone knows the best games ever made belong to the King’s Quest series by Sierra.

/j…mostly…

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Yeah, because I spent all of my gaming budget by March.

Why the fuck did Japanese devs decide to release Tekken 8, Final Fantasy Rebirth, Yakuza Infinite Wealth, and Persona 3 Remake within like a month of each other? Add in Helldivers 2 as well, and my wallet is basically dust.

sigmaklimgrindset ,

if I could only stop clinging to “societal interactions and infrastructure” I could have a great homestead!

This is so true, and something that really gets ignored in the discussion. I don’t WANT to move to bumbfuck nowhere where I have no roots, I want to stay and give back to the community that raised and nurtured me into the person I am today. Unfortunately I (and a lot of others) have been priced out by home speculators.

How is there a loneliness epidemic in all age groups of our society, and yet no one is asking if one of the factors might be people having to move for education and then work to chase affordability, while getting pushed further and further away from their social networks?

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Pretty sure Cleveland isn’t the only place in Ohio, and also I don’t think it’s even the top 3 centres people want to live? I remember a thread on Reddit a long time ago that people would rather live in Cincinnati or Columbus.

Futhermore, unless you actually live or have local knowledge of the area, random zillow postings are useless without context of whether it’s a “good” or “bad” part of town. I could post several “affordable” places in my city, but they’re next to meth dens. The real estate listings make them sound REAL NICE, though.

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Ok, the biggest thing that stuck out to me was

I’ve purchased a home several times in the last year in a high cost of loving northern VA

Why are you buying “a home” several times in a year?

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Man, I must have picked up BotW at the exact right time, because I started playing it when Covid lockdowns started and the whole “solo in the face of a world altering event” aspect really got to me.

I don’t know if I would have enjoyed it before or after, even though I know many people did.

Twilight Princess slaps tho, and I’ll fight anyone that disrespects it.

sigmaklimgrindset ,

I’m sorry, idk why but this comment is so funny. Like I’m laughing irl but I can’t explain to anyone why.

sigmaklimgrindset ,

You’re right, it absolutely does sound like dril! I’d forgotten about that account since I left Twitter

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Wow the FBI are gamers

Jokes aside, holy shit that’s monstrous

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Me: I bet it’s a finance company

The first fucking sentence of the article: “When Ty landed an introductory phone interview with a finance and banking company last month…”

Jokes aside, I’ve had one AI job interview in the last year, and while the AI was more dynamic than the one mentioned in the article, it was still a weird experience. I’m not really sure what the legalities are around using my likeness and voice to train the AI either, but it made me realize I’m not very comfortable with video interviews that have become the norm during Covid.

I also like that the article points out it can go both ways. If the recruiters are interviewing using AI, there’s also live AI tools that will help the candidate navigate that interview. Soon enough, it’ll just be AI interviewing AI. And isn’t that the world we really want to live in 🤡

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Yeah, I’m a bit confused on this too. I don’t support the actions of Israel or the IDF but Hamas aren’t angels either. It seems like both sides of this are conflating Hamas and the Palestinian people.

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Damn, ChatGPT’s poetry extension is fire

(Joking aside, reading this after reading Banksy’s statement on advertising is just a great double whammy. Love heading to bed with a vague sense of unease :,) )

sigmaklimgrindset ,

It’s Atlus. They have a… special approach to game development.

Can’t wait for a Persona 3 ReMix: Kotone/FemC Edition, complete with upgraded and extended Ken romance route 💀

(jk Atlus doesn’t care about FemC)

sigmaklimgrindset , (edited )

Sorry homie :,)

But have fun! Kotone/FemC is great, I played her as my new game+ when I first played P3P, and it honestly made NG+ less of a chore because of how different her personality is compared to Makoto/MC. And her social links are great too (except…you know…)

The “dual protag” experience of Persona 2 and 3 is honestly so underappreciated imo. But Altus won’t do it anymore. I’m not bitter about this at all :clown emoji:

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Yes the Ken romance is optional, you can max it without romancing him. But I think most of the playebase is usually disturbed at the fact that dating the 10 year old orphan is an option at all. I’ve spoke with a few Japanese fans about it, and while they’re more mild about the criticism, apparently it was still a bit “wtf” to some of them too.

But in the later games YOU get to be the adolescent dating an adult, so…uh…yay? I joke to my friends that Kenji from Persona 3 directed Persona 4 and 5.

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Listen, Makoto didn’t know who he was playing his little video game with ok?? He’s just really, really dumb! Plausible deniability!

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Um, we don’t have a “genetic bond” with dogs unless you’re talking about LUCA…or a dog has learned how to comment on Lemmy…

sigmaklimgrindset ,

That has nothing to do with a genetic bond with humans.

From your linked article:

More likely, domestication happened slowly, in fits and starts. “This symbiotic or commensal relationship,” says Robert Quinlan, professor of anthropology at Washington State University, “probably initially happened accidentally."

Dogs and humans have a symbiotic bond, as the OP from your original reply said. We did not bond our genes with them, like that episode of Fullmetal Alchemist (I hope).

Sorry to be a “acktually”-type pedant about this, but terminology is important when discussing genetics, otherwise people get confused and end up like the ones that think we can’t be genetically related to chimps because they exist at the same time as we do.

sigmaklimgrindset ,

Pour one out for all those digital dogs that sit neglected on old DS’s everywhere. Thank god they aren’t sentient.
