you just got downsized, sucka!
  • They meant to say "Control or* Backspace is Space", right? Right?!

  • Xitter, it's time to go
  • I hate your skin color!

    Please strike out Lemmy.

  • Just helping out, just a little public service
  • Can we very briefly touch on the logical inconsistency of the "your body, my choice" crowd losing their shit over being told to wear face masks?

    I don't expect them to see this inconsistency, but wanted to touch on it anyway.

  • Forgetting something?
  • I'm doing their music course and it includes a song called Spanish or Vanish. With some lyrics, too.

  • Russia faces a wave of bankruptcies as borrowing costs skyrocket
  • I'll have you know, that I have it on good authority (from the ever rational and totally not an echo chamber Hexbear) that the invasion is actually very successful and Russia is winning. By a lot!

  • Anons discuss PC vs console gaming
  • While the post is clearly a shitpost, and the arguments in their provided form are not entirely valid, they could be altered to be valid.

    Purpose-built devices will always have advantages over generic "do everything" devices. A modern smartphone can do everything, but you still have MP3/FLAC players, DSLR cameras, calculators, etc. Similarly, a PC can do everything, but there are still TV sticks, gaming consoles, tablets, etc.

    PC can't be as low-friction as a console for gaming. To start playing all you need to do is pick up the controller, press the Home button, TV comes on and you're back where you left off. All the games in the store are 100% compatible with 0 settings manipulations.

    Now, you could build a PC for the sole purpose of playing games on it, and come fairly close to the experience. But you're gonna spend more and put a lot of effort into it.
    Some issues you might encounter:

    • picking and installing the right OS
    • hardware/software compatibility
    • controller support
    • seamless sleep/wake
    • lack of HDMI CEC protocol to control the TV

    Whereas a console is a plug-and-play tailored experience that guarantees all of the above to not be an issue.

    TL;DR: You can't just plug your PC to a TV and expect the same result as playing on a console. It will take much more work to get there.

  • So beautiful
  • No idea, that's what I've been told, but Japanese engineers usually know what they are doing.

  • So beautiful
  • Afaik, the problem with buried cables is that in case of a flood or tsunami they might break, get exposed and electrocute someone.

  • Biggest concerns
  • I mean, yeah, with trucks like those gas prices are indeed a big concern.

  • Enshittification only hurts product itself.
  • People mostly mean the Bedrock Edition for its microtransactions and lack of proper mod support. Otherwise, it's the same game and you can ignore that stuff.

  • The ultra ultra ultra greatsword.
  • And power levels.

  • Making sense of election results
  • The racist one should say "Do you have OCD?"

  • Toll Time! [Extra Ordinary Comics]
  • Maybe?! There's a scenario where people put their feet on the couch wearing outdoor shoes?! 😱

  • Ah yes, I was once like you... [Azul Crescent's silly scribbles]
  • I can't parse the first sentence. Might be a morning thing. Can somebody help?

  • Someone watched the "Goth2Boss" DVD
  • If that was the intent, why did they fail the previous 4 years?
    Did they also undye her hair right before the picture, too?

  • The Circle of Life
  • Kings.

  • How many Chiles from Chile?
  • Less than 5 and* more than 4.

  • Before you ask: Yes. Yes it is.
  • For some reason your response didn't trigger a notification. I wonder why. This is the first time that I know of when I didn't get one.

  • Before you ask: Yes. Yes it is.
  • Serious question, can a downsize of an image be considered a lossy compression method?

  • "It's going to be fun to play this game again!" [Azul Crescent's silly scribbles]
  • I was going to say this, too. It definitely applies to some games, but not the original Crash trilogy. I replay those games every 5-10 years.
