Okay, bye.

Also, I'm utterly shocked that an ai generated header is even a minor issue in comparison to the rest if your fallback instance of choice is Hexbear.

You don't need to be wired in order to self host things? It's better, ofc, but far from required. You can just do it via wifi.

My experience with self hosting begins and ends with video game servers and jellyfin, though, so maybe I'm wrong here.

yes. It's a thing. https://mcsus.com/products/68-water-balls-tube-of-10 No clue if they're good or not, but they exist.

There's also paintballs with clear paint, or reballs which are basically just rubber balls meant to be fired out of a paintball gun.

I too despise the obsession with making videogames look like they were filmed for some inexplicable reason lol.

Okay I wasn't particularly interested until I read this comment. What a combo lmao

GAMMA has faction questlines. I'm not sure how good of an experience they are because that is very much not why I play GAMMA, but they definitely exist.

Also: if you install GAMMA and are initially utterly disgusted by the depth of field, don't panic you can turn it off lol.

A (rumored) $40 live service battle-royale.. outlook bad for this game.

Yeah, okay. Without the context I see how you arrived to internet drama. I wasn't connecting the dots properly.

Nobody is mad about being banned from Club Penguin, it's expected- because they would insta-ban you based off a rudimentary chat filter- and these were popular memes for awhile.

Uh, okay. I didn't realize the existence of Club Penguin was 'internet drama'. That's the part that confused me lol.

'Retro' in a gaming sense is often used interchangeably with 'Vintage', as far as I can tell.

The subreddit r/Retrogaming even has this gem on their sidebar:

Retro Gaming: Reddit's home of vintage gaming

...what internet drama are you talking about rn?

.. yeah, I'm aware AI isn't a person. I'm not sure why that's a question? Maybe I phrased things badly, but I'm not- nor have I ever- been really mad about AI usage. It's mostly just disappointment.

It's just a technology. I largely dislike the way it's being used, partly because I feel like it has a lot of potential.

Why? AI doing one good thing doesn't erase the dozens of bad ways it's utilized.

I'm interested to see AI used on a larger scale in really specific ways, but the industry seems more interested in using it to take giant shortcuts and replace staff. That is going to piss people off, and it's going to really piss people off when it also delivers a shit product.

I'm fine with DLSS, because I want to see AI enhance games. I want it to make them better. So far, all I can see is that it's making them worse with one single upside that I can just.. toggle off on my end if I don't like it.

Who's the guy on the left? I'm sure he's awful just via context clues, just not sure why.

I assumed. I know it's similar where I live, but for all I know Montana has some strangely restrictive finders keepers law where if you drop your wallet and someone else finds it you can only legally reclaim it via a duel to the death.

Bad news dominate headlines, do you think journalists will write about people behaving normally?

This is a funny mental image.

"Breaking news: Man gets normal sized plate at buffet. More at 11."

Front of a newspaper in giant bold font:

"MAN TAKES NORMAL ROUTE HOME FROM WORK"

Where do you live? That matters, unless you're just asking from an ethics perspective. I'm not asking you to dox yourself, country/state is plenty.

Assuming you're Canadian(based off your instance being lemmy.ca) technically speaking you should report in to the police, and they'll hold it for 6 months. After that if someone hasn't claimed it you're free to claim it yourself. At least in Vancouver. Maybe the laws are different in other parts of Canada. Your local police probably have a non-emergency number for pretty much exactly this purpose if you wanna double check.

Realistically, it's not even $200. Probably keep it for a week or two and then tell the kid the cops couldn't find the original owner.

I am asking for any general recommendations, without any specific preference.

Then google "reddit alternatives." If you're not looking for a discussion with a personalized response you can easily answer your own question via your search engine of choice.

I’d highly recommend modding that OUT for sanity/time sink reasons.

No mods needed anymore! That's just a slider now in 'world modifiers'. It's quite nice.

Most of my playtime is before alloys even existed lol. If I played the game more often I'm sure I'd be able to figure it out, but it's just bad luck on my part. I tend to get interested like a month before they've released some massive groundbreaking update.
