It would be cool if there were a custom Lemmy-UI CSS theme that mimicked the Text based look of the BBS terminal interface but still gave the full functionality and allowed you to view images in posts and banners.
Old CRTs are probably the best thing for Retro gaming since they offer no input lag. Also Light guns (Yes I know you can use Light guns on LCDs by hacking the game to introduce delay but that doesn't work on all light guns).
I don't think anyone is arguing against their right to sell it, they're being called out because people really shouldn't buy it. It's kind of a bad financial decision. If you still want to that's your decision but people shouldn't buy it without knowing they could get a better deal elsewhere. That's why these things get called out for being too expensive, not because they aren't or shouldn't be allowed to, but because people deserve to know it's a horrible deal.
Also depends highly on the seed (RNG) not all AI generation tools let you choose that but some do. Different seeds can produce wildly different results on the same model even, AI image gen relies heavily on randomness.
Honestly I don't even want to know what cursed abomination it would conceive of me. Probably would think that I look like a DnD nerd, stereotypical computer nerd, or might just draw me as a straight up dragon or dragonborne. Hard to say. Especially since I've been using temp chats lately.
I can't fathom the idea of wanting to play that garbage, let alone spend money on micro-transactions in it, but maybe that's just me, maybe my brain isn't smooth enough to find games like that stimulating and entertaining.
Probably also the same reason all the people who have tried and to get me addicted to gambling have failed.
Yeah I think defederation is probably a good idea here, especially given the fact that these instances in addition to being used primarily for vote manipulation, seemingly also have no legitimate engagement whatsoever. Can't think of any reason why we shouldn't really.
There are a handful of online games I do like to play, generally ones without competitive elements, and I limit online gaming to people I actually know.
But yeah most of the games I do play are single-player.
You can play way more than just Aperture Desk Job for free, a lot of games on Steam these days are Free, and I'm not talking about free to play. I'm not sure but I don't remember there being any full free games on the eshop, F2P yes but developers there never opted to make their games just free. Some devs on Steam absolutely have.
I've kind of given up on the idea of playing those types of competitive online games, not just because of people cheating in them but also because of how the community these days addresses cheating, by witch-hunting and accusing people of cheating for being too good, or for sucking at the game, or for having opinions on surveillance and security (sometimes just because for being queer). They also often harass these people they target. I have hundreds of toxic assholes on Steam blocked for this behavior alone because they came to my profile to harass me.
The term "artist" here is being used kind of loosely. They're doing the bare minimum you need to turn a skeleton into a living creature. Good artistic representations require a lot more imagination, beyond what we scientifically know. You can get clues by looking at already existing animals and how they relate to their skeletons. Which gives an idea of how much not bone material those creatures might have. No you won't know exactly how much they did, but that's not really being represented by skin wrapping either is it. Better to try and go for something believable rather than the bare minimum.
A large majority of Physical games have secretly been made as one-time activation keys, and aren't really a physical game in any meaningful sense since most of the game isn't on the disc.
Physical games at this point are more of a semantic argument to distract people from the real question, when will online DRM and activation completely take over?
Shameful clickbait article which doesn't even seem to mention the game that was supposedly shut down. This person should be ashamed for writing this and honestly you should be ashamed for posting it. This is an utterly useless article.
Yeah I wouldn't say any of the controller or remote control typing implementations are quick or easy. Even on Kodi I use an external keyboard (built into the remote control I got for my libreElec media player).
Nicole is a well known spammer, they spammed DMs to many people here saying their name was Nicole and to meet them in various social spaces. They made hundreds of alt accounts on many many instances.
