Please. For the love of god. Mega Man Legends 3.

For sure. I'm looking forward to playing Spider-Man 2 in a couple years. πŸ˜…

Seriously. I'm always psyched when a great game gets ported to any other console. I'm a PC player, I don't even play on consoles (except Switch), I'm just happy more people get to experience games that made me happy. Exclusivity makes sense for the console makers, but from a consumer perspective, it's fucking stupid. It's so weird to me that people defend it so fiercely.

The joke is that all the adventures Mario has in the games are just escapist dreams, because he's actually just a normal plumber who is sad and unfulfilled by his life.

Holy crap, that thing had a backlit LCD and could play 16-bit home console games on the go. What a beast. How did I not even know this thing existed? 0.o

Haha yeah, I was gonna say, if you've even been on the eshop once, "selective" is not the word you'd use to describe them.

Yeah, I knew it was bad when Loki, a show I really liked, dropped it's second season and I just didn't even care. I'm sure it's solid, I just still haven't seen it. It sucks because the MCU was like "my thing" that I was super into for a really long time. I geeked so hard over it. I still haven't seen Echo, either, or the last couple movies. It's a bummer.

You wouldn't know a consummate V if it bit you in the face

Is this as gimmicky as it looks, or does it actually have a discernable benefit?

I mean, she's straight up said she thinks that trans women are not women and that she believes being transgender is a mental illness. She said she'd rather go to jail than be forced to call trans people by their preferred pronouns (which is insane and not a real scenario that would happen, but still telling nonetheless lol). She's buddied up with some far-right extremists, one of which has likened being transgender to doing blackface and another that said trans men should be sterilized.

I also don't agree with extremist takes on either side, but promotion of trans erasure and mocking/minimizing/invalidating a margininalized group that is frequently at risk of being targeted for violence are not victimless acts.

I think this is the answer. It seems like Microsoft is laying the foundation to go all-in on cloud gaming and/or gamepass. I think their ultimate goal is to dip out of the console wars altogether and be at the forefront of what they think could be the next frontier in gaming.

Honestly, it's kinda smart. Idk if cloud gaming could really be the future (at least in the US) until we have better infrastructure and access to fast/reliable internet without data caps is more ubiquitous, but carving out a niche for themselves instead of locking horns with the competition is pretty clever. It's worked for Nintendo. Most PC and console gamers I know also own a Switch, in part because of the quality of the exclusives and in part because of the relatively accessible pricing of the console, but also because the Switch hardware offers a unique experience (well, it was a lot more unique pre-Steam Deck).

 

Any PS4 peeps here? I've noticed that PKGs for Rune Factory 4 Special and Rune Factory 5 are not on any of the usual sites. Does anyone know where they could be found?

 

Why can't the U.N. just make war illegal?

 

This is not an attempt to convert Lemmy users, nor is it a slight on Lemmy. I'm sure there are plenty of reasons why Lemmy works better for some, and I love the fact that we not only have multiple choices, but multiple choices that allow us to interact with each other regardless! It's amazing. Lemmy is great, no shade.

With that said...

Why YSK: I see a lot of users posting frequent questions about Lemmy that are currently answered by kbin.

For example:

  • The ability to block a whole domain, or subscribe to one
  • The ability to subscribe to individual users
  • A built-in search tool to find communities all over fedi (kbin, Lemmy, Mastodon groups, etc.) with an indication of how active they are
  • Mitigation for the "tracking pixel" issue

I find that almost every day, I see Lemmy users asking about features and I think, "well, kbin does that." I think it would be worthwhile for more users to check into both platforms and decide which might be best for them.

 

Hey, friends! I have a weird issue that I'm hoping someone can suggest a fix for, cause I have searched all over and cannot find an answer.

Essentially, for the last several months, I randomly get these black flashes that happen at the top of my screen. They take up the top 1/4-1/3 of my display and they're gone in an instant. They happen at random times. Not while I'm gaming, but sometimes when I'm watching a non-fullscreen video, browsing the web, etc. I cannot purposefully trigger it, I have no clue what it is. The only thing I can think of is maybe it's krunner, because it's positioned similarly to the krunner search bar? I really have no clue.

It seems to pop up more often while I'm active (typing, scrolling, clicking, etc.) but not in any one particular program or at any particular time, and it definitely happens when I'm inactive, too. It's really hard to pin down what triggers it.

Specs:
OS: Fedora 38 (KDE Spin)
Display Server: X11 (but it happens on Wayland, too)
GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X

My system/software is fully up to date.

I'm always running OpenRGB, GWE, and Mullvad VPN in the background, and I often have Firefox, Element, and/or Steam open at any given time. I don't think it's any of those, but I'm including this info in case it could be, or if it's helpful.

Any advice is welcome! Thank you.

 

I'm a long-time guitarist, new to playing this genre. I'm trying to get a sound reminiscent of Blink, Sum 41, etc. Their sound is crunchy, but has a lot more clarity than say metal guitar usually has. I'm having trouble making it punchy enough without getting too muddy.

Pedal-wise, I only have a tuner, a crybaby, and DOD FX510-B Overdrive Plus. I'm playing with a crappy single coil strat that I'm hoping to upgrade to a nicer humbucker strat one of these days.

I know those bands are probably rocking Marshal stacks and have lots of stomp boxes to play with, but if anyone can suggest some settings that might get me closer to that sound with the gear I have, I would really appreciate it. 🀘

The arbitrary 8.5-9 hour workday drives me nuts, because a lot of the time, I really only have 3 or 4 hours worth of work to do. I generally work quickly and I value my time. Can I make a decent living doing something that gives me this kind of flexibility?

I feel like I've skipped a lot of months the last year or two, but I got this month's Humble Choice right away. Several games that have been sitting on my wishlist for ages were on here. Anyone else snagging this one?
