Don’t worry Nintendo, even as someone who grew up on SMB, you’ve thoroughly convinced me to never do business with you ever again. Not even nostalgia…

Give it some time. I’m sure they could be a whole lot worse still.

Several subs have automods set to autodelete any comments referencing Lemmy or links to it, not to mention the manual deletions by mods. It’s definitely being talked about, despite these attempts.

For real. I explicitly append “give me the actual objective truth, regardless of how you think it will make me feel” to my prompts and it still tries to somehow butter me up to be some kind of genius for asking those particular questions or whatnot. Luckily I’ve never suffered from good self esteem in my entire life, so those tricks don’t work on me :p

Precisely. We like to think of ourselves as rational but we’re the opposite. Then we rationalize things afterwards. Even being keenly aware of this doesn’t stop it in the slightest.

We’ve been up against the 5Ghz thermal wall for over a decade. We can keep adding cores but we need significantly improved design (less nanometers) for these gains - and these are now running up against another wall, namely quantum tunneling which begins being a problem at around the nanometer scale.

I assume only a radically different architecture (light instead of electricity?) will be able to smash these barriers.

I keep hearing that for all new EVs you practically pay 20K for the batteries alone. No idea if that is actually cost or just extortion.

My favorite fediposter is /u/pugjesus . Strong mix of memes and actual engaging content. Also, focused on modern politics plus history. The kind of people who would’ve created the Alaxamenos graffito two thousand years ago.

Horrible creatures.

Windows is like €200 minimum. It’s extortionate.

The goodwill generated by this would last for generations. Too bad about half of the EU is flirting with the extreme right, so this’ll be a tough sell.

Damn, this is with everything on max at 4K with DLSS & Framegen?

Send 'em all our way (EU) I’m sure we’ll find a use for it.

I must admit, it’s not “just” a remaster, but they somehow managed to capture the spirit of '06 when this first came out PERFECTLY. Picture this: I was still in college and studying at home when Oblivion was finally released. I had been waiting for it for a long time (to my young mind back then) and I remember it was a perfectly beautiful, sunny day and I was home alone with no obvious way to get to a game store.

So I asked my elderly neighbor if I could borrow her clunker of a car for “an errand” and drove over an hour to the nearest game shop.

From the game itself I mostly remember how drop-dead gorgeous everything seemed - and how terrible my PC’s performance was back then, especially in outdoors areas.

Today, I experienced the exact same form of awe, followed by the most gorgeous graphics I could imagine, and… 15 fps outdoors. EXACTLY how things used to be when I was a young man.

Magic. Truly a win for Bethesda (after Starfield). Now all I need is a PC who can actually run the damn thing on high with over 60 FPS.

Amen. Added to that I have an extremely common name (both actually) so even if someone were to find that out, they’d still have to sift my shit from all my doppelgangers’.

The enshittification/rent seeking continues. Nothing is sacred.

Exactly. Same shit for Hungary if Orban keeps it up. Go cozy up to your dictator and see if he’s willing to throw a few billion your way.

I’ve always hated Discord since the very beginning. At least now I have yet another really good reason.

Never used it, never will. Ventrilo for lyfe.

Just ignore Reddit. Pretend it doesn’t even exist. It’ll go the way of Digg soon enough.

Amen. I also work in IT and I find the longer I do, the more I loathe new tech stacks and developments. I used to be passionate about new tech and its applications. Now I just want to be left alone where possible.
