Dude’s almost 60 years old. I really don’t understand the hype of watching someone fight a retired athlete.

Oh thank god, I might actually consider buying one now that it’s not Exynos

I thought I read this before, and sure enough it’s a follow up to a 2023 article

TL;DR: 21 year old national guard leaked classified documents on Discord for attention and got caught for it. Nice work.

Surprisingly little talk about playing windows games on Android. Winlator is starting to get very popular and is becoming a big deal, within a year it’ll probably be able to play most 3D games.

We’ve known this for a while. LLMs are a dead end, lots of companies have tried throwing more data at it but it’s becoming clear the differences between each model and the next are getting too small to notice, and none of them fix the major underlying issue that chat models keep spreading BS because it can’t differentiate between right and wrong

Kingdoms of Amalur has very fun, very flashy combat. The rest of the game is really ehhh, but if you just want to blast magic and have cool skills then it’s a great choice.

Yup, things have definitely improved, especially with more extremist instances like lemmygrad being defederated and phased out. I do also want to give a shoutout to the devs for not pushing their stance and letting the platform grow naturally.

Yes, some instances are problematic, yes, some devs might have had problematic views.

I mean that’s basically the crux of it. That, and some moderation drama, and the software being very buggy a year ago giving people a bad first impression, and Lemmy still being susceptible to spam.

It’ll take some time before Lemmy (and the Threadiverse as a whole) improves its reputation and moves on from the “it’s a tankie website” take. That said, a lot of people in that thread are making the case for Lemmy, so it’s mostly just people worried it’s not as popular.

More like good riddance. What an annoying item to fight against

That depends on app developers, not MS. Having apps actually work through a translation layer would ease a lot of people’s problems when transitioning to ARM though.

If they did this from the start it might’ve sounded fine, but now it just feels like they’re trend-chasing after Apple Intelligence…

I agree so much, but it’s not even the “follow a friendly NPC while they talk” quests that get me. This game also has “follow the villain without getting caught” quests which are mind-numbingly boring. They move like a tortoise and look behind them once every minute or something to make sure you’re not standing right behind them. They’re insultingly dumb and treat me like I’ve never played a video game before.

Yup, but that’s my opinion of most open world games anyways. There’s a lot of Ubisoft-esque content like “free this stronghold” or sidequests that involve you slowly following an NPC and they get old very quickly. The combat also doesn’t evolve that much, so I found myself bored around the halfway point.

MediEvil. It’s not a horror game, but I always think of it as the game that carries the Halloween feeling the best.

Also the title is so misleading because it acts like it’s missing a vital component when most people really wouldn’t care about alternate covers…

Yeah, a lot of manufacturers are just bad. I knew people who had Dell and MSI laptops and those things feel like toys. Cheap plastic and very wobbly hinges. The only manufacturer I genuinely trust is Lenovo. My Legion is a bit thick but I can at least rest easy that it’s built well.

It’s not ideal, but you’re getting probably the best hardware in the market in return. The M series still dominates Windows CPUs, and the build quality on most $1000 laptops leaves a lot to be desired.

That’s a shame. It looked like a pretty good survival game, but the very lackluster launch and being released around the time Palworld & Enshrouded killed it.

Seriously. I don’t doubt a lot of effort is going into it but I’ve been hearing “gimp 3 soon” for like 3 years now

Not likely. Game Pass and other similar services stopped offering many deals like they used to for indie studios. I started using it again recently but it feels like so many games have been taken off, likely due to Game Pass not performing as well as they expected it to
