  • Ahhh ok thanks for that! I was looking in the wrong place all along. Wonder why dev didn't just place this option in or at least next to Sync Ultra. I'll probably hold out till I see what Boost has to offer first.

  • Where do I find the $20 option? That's all I see on the android app.

  • This, in the span of 30mins or less. It's a major turnoff. I've considered getting the lifetime ad-free version but I'm not paying USD170 just for an app. Got to give credit where credit's due though, Sync is hands down the best Lemmy app I've used so far.

  • Just finished Death Stranding. It's mostly great but somehow crashed a fair bit halfway through the game. No issues or whatsoever in early and late to end game.

  • Permanently Deleted

    Jump
  • Not sure if it's a bug or feature, but it's almost impossible to delete all traces of your accounts on Lemmy since they get copied to other instances, which don't disappear even after you've "deleted" your accounts. I've tested this myself. I can still click into my deleted profile from another instance and the comments are all still there too.

    Just move on to other instances and remember, no take-backsies!

  • You're right. Funny how they're all the games with "hidden" in the titles and they all look somehow similar. It's super suss. I don't think it's as simple as a cash grab. High chance they're used for money laundering or transferring funds from stolen steam accounts or credit cards.

  • I've spent enough time on GR to see how it's held together by duct tape and inertia

    GR has always felt like this to me, a legacy app that barely changes with time. I still use it simply for checking general ratings and keeping track of what I've read, but I'm old school I guess. What do people actually use them for other than these purposes? I had been using Reddit for book recommendations for as long I can remember.

  • I stand corrected. Thank you for educating me. I just assumed that previous NLP algorithms were not too far off from LLM in terms of capabilities, which is apparently not the case.

  • The "breakthrough" likely happened a long time ago, but as with all tech, it was only recently accessible to the general public. LLM alone isn't even that sophisticated to begin with.

    AI assistant will soon be an essential part of our lives. It will handle grocery shopping based on your dietary requirements, conduct basic diagnosis of your health, create personalized software, books, music, and movies on the fly for you, do your taxes and offer financial advices. All these are already happening.

  • Probably because most of us are sorting by top 6/12 hours since there isn't enough content to keep us entertained every couple of hours if we sort by top day, which will obviously improve as we grow.

  • Hmmm I've never used Fen so I'm not sure if it works without premium services, but it sounds like RD isn't working. Did you check if the files that are showing are from RD? It's highly unlikely that the latest John Wick only comes in 4K. I recommend trying Stremio + Torrentio + Real Debrid, the UI is just so much better and addons a lot easier to install than Kodi. Also I'm using my old laptop instead of Android boxes. It's a lot faster plus it circumvents the issue of sharing Netflix with someone not from the same household.

  • There's a game called Journey which is... mystically beautiful? It's mystical because it's basically just a walking sim with a few puzzles to solve in between, but yet it really draws out the emotions. I've played many games like this but nothing trumps Journey yet.

    It's mostly single player but if you play it online, once in a while you'll come across a fellow traveler from another instance whom you can share the journey with for a while, or not.

  • Optical illusion is most likely the reason instead of engine brake if your vehicle slows down significantly in certain areas and doesn't on other downhills with "similar" angle.

    There is this slope near a waterfall around where I live. If you put your car in neutral gear at the bottom of the slope, it rolls "up" the hill. We named it magnetic hill back in high school, but I later found out that it is just an optical illusion that happens everywhere around the world. Basically some uphills look like downhills and vice versa. Google "gravity hill".

  • Got me curious so I asked ChatGPT how a good conversation on a date looks like:

    Sure! Here's a conversation that could work well on a date:

    Person A: Hi there! It's great to finally meet you in person. How was your day?

    Person B: Hi! I'm so happy to meet you too. My day was good, thanks for asking. How about yours?

    Person A: It was pretty good, just a usual day at work. By the way, you look amazing tonight!

    Person B: Aw, thank you! You're looking great too. So, tell me, what are your hobbies or interests?

    Person A: I love hiking and being outdoors. It's so refreshing to explore nature. How about you?

    Person B: That sounds wonderful! I enjoy reading and trying out new recipes in the kitchen. Oh, and I love to travel too.

    Person A: Traveling is such a great way to learn and experience new things. Do you have any favorite destinations?

    Person B: Definitely! I loved exploring Japan and experiencing its rich culture. But I also enjoy beach destinations for relaxation. What about you?

    Person A: Japan sounds fascinating! I'm a fan of beach destinations too, especially in warm tropical places. So, what do you do for work?

    Person B: I work as a graphic designer. It's a creative job, and I enjoy it. How about you?

    Person A: That's cool! I work in marketing. It's challenging but rewarding. By the way, what kind of music do you like?

    Person B: I enjoy a wide range of music, but lately, I've been into indie and alternative. How about you?

    Person A: Nice! I'm more into classic rock and a bit of jazz. We should totally go to a concert together sometime.

    Person B: That sounds like a fantastic idea! I'd love that. So, do you have any upcoming travel plans or exciting events?

    Person A: Not at the moment, but I'm planning a trip to the mountains next month. I can't wait for the adventure.

    Person B: That sounds like a fun trip! Let me know how it goes. Maybe we can share travel stories over our next date?

    Person A: I'd love that! I'm really enjoying our time together. You're such an interesting and engaging person.

    Person B: Thank you! I feel the same way. I'm glad we got to meet. Looking forward to more great moments together.

    The conversation revolves around getting to know each other's interests, hobbies, and preferences while maintaining a positive and engaged atmosphere. It's important to be genuinely interested in each other and to share experiences and stories that can create a connection. Remember to be yourself and enjoy the moment!

  • OK spoiler tag definitely doesn't work haha. I'm using liftoff which comes with built-in tools for spoilers but it didn't work too.

    Transporter Trike is hands down my favourite vehicle in the game! It's a shame that I had to stop using it once I got to the mountains. It's just impossible to get S rank for premium LL time sensitive deliveries with them. Plus ziplines are immune to BTs.

    To be honest I'd very much prefer riding the bike than zipping around. The latter was cool at the beginning but became too much of a chore later on and really breaks immersion for me. Would be nice if they could add some sort of snow bikes. Maybe we'll see that in DS2.

  • I just finished Directors Cut and currently trying to 100% it. Just can't get enough of it! What's the difference between DC and the original release? Could you please tell me if the spoiler tag is working on your end if you don't mind?

  • This is the second time JSAUX backplate gets recommended here. I'm definitely checking it out. Thanks for that!

  • Thanks for the input. What do you think of something like this?

  • I just got the dock for it, I am a little concerned I'll notice any performance issues more when hooked up to a large screen.

    I've been using it predominantly docked and the performance is quite decent. A few tips:

    • You can use the streaming function if you have a decent PC.
    • Set device resolution to the resolution you want the game to be playing in. E.g. 1080p or 4k, then set the native in game resolution to something lower. Next, set your scaling filter to FSR instead of Linear. This will scale up the in game resolution to device resolution without sacrificing the internal memory and heating up the hardware.
    • Make sure you set your TV to game mode to reduce input lag for controllers.
  • It used to be that everyone pays the same amount of money for entry into a game world, and the reward depends on how much we grind, but it's becoming more and more like real life these days which is really sad.
