Well, they made an offer to John Oliver to become a mod.

One of Reddit’s biggest communities is suggesting users move to Discord in c/[email protected]

Yeah, many users of hardwareswap were not thrilled to hear they'd be moving to Discord.

I needed a lawn mower for my tiny patch of grass so I went with Ryobi. I've since bought/been gifted Ryobi for every yard tool I have.

My drills and impact driver are DeWalt. Way better than the shitty Black & Decker drill that I got in a free gift from work.

Show off your favorite songs from PlayStation games!

First off, I have The Men of Intelligence from Dynasty Warriors 3's Battle of Hei Fei Castle, on the Wei side. It's my favorite track on an album, and it really sets the tone for one of the final battles in the game that is absolutely brutal on harder difficulties.

Next is Oltanis Orbit - Gemlik Base from Ratchet and Clank (2002). It's a great blend of ambient and funky, and that opening note as you get the overview shot of the level is just perfect.

Finally, I'd like to share Boldan - Silver City from Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando. It captures the level's vibe perfectly, and it benefits a lot from headphones. The intro switches sides a few times, which is a cool detail that my mono CRT couldn't show off.

All three of the songs come from albums that I think are full of other great songs, and I highly recommend you check them out if you like what I've posted.

Now it's your turn!

This is a detail that I've always appreciated about the early Ratchet and Clank games and it was cool to find someone giving it some love

What was "The Incident" at work that caused an exodus in the work force? in c/[email protected]

Company was bought by a VC group with no experience in the industry. They spent their resources in all the wrong places, leading to alienated employees with no morale. They were also behind on office rental payments.

We had no formal IT or standard laptop hardware or software. One team decided they were all done after their director left. The CEO decided that they were colluding and fired them all at once. Nobody else was cleared for that project's SCIF, meaning nobody could contact the customer over secure channels. Additionally, their drives were encrypted with personal passwords that were never turned over as the employees had no proper exit process.

Between that and my team slowly leaving due to morale, they lost 2/3 of the few contracts they had, along with the technical expertise responsible for them.

That's why no one with half a brain downloads the official Reddit app. in c/[email protected]

The worst part to me is the people still on Reddit complaining about the blackout because "you can scroll past the ads", which completely misses the point

The different-but-sameness of a long 7 is really interesting to me as a New York transplant. There are so many cookie cutter shopping centers. Some of them have housing and movie theaters, but they all feel like the same thing in different layouts.

I've driven out to Brambleton via Evergreen Mills Rd a few times and while I enjoy how empty it is, the scenery is pretty depressing.

With all the Remakes/Remasters happening these days, what's a classic PlayStation series you would like to see getting some love? in c/[email protected]

Sly Cooper would be fantastic on modern hardware. Thieves in Time is a lot better when emulated because it fixes the game's most glaring flaw compared to the PS2 games: load times. I can only imagine a Sly game designed to be run off an NVMe drive with modern graphical capabilities. I wonder how its art style would be adapted to higher fidelity.

They finally did it: Reddit made it impossible for blind Redditors to moderate their own sub in c/[email protected]

I just checked and RIF is pulling posts. I'm not logged in but it's pulling posts. Bizarre.

Lemmy resembles the old reddit experience so well that they even emulate the old reddit server performance in c/[email protected]
