  • RE4 was definitely a pivot toward a more action based game than its predecessors. It's probably my favorite but I still consider the RE2 remake a better game overall. Maybe a perfect game honestly.

  • Could not have said it better myself.

    I learned so much with my first printer (CR-10). It was fiddly though and took a bit of tweaking each time to get a good first layer. Now I have a Prusa and it is so reliable that I almost miss the tinkering sometimes. I'll regularly start prints while I'm out of the house and can come home to perfect prints with no hassle. They are an expensive way to enter the hobby if you aren't sure what you want or how much you'll use it.

    One of these days I'll splurge on a Prusa XL. That thing is cool as hell.

  • Do you use any illegal substances?

    Only the cool ones.

  • Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer finally broke my pirated Photoshop/Illustrator addiction. They are affordable seriously good alternatives with a classic 'pay once for a major release' model instead of a subscription. I'm a fairly advanced user and there was nothing I miss from the Adobe products, although real professionals may have more complex needs.

    Also no Linux version. ☹️

  • Yup, that sounds pretty cumpetitive to me.

  • Piped.video and Yewtu.be are both web frontends that work in the browser and require no installation.

    Freetube has installers for windows/mac/linux with no need for the overhead of android emulation.

    I haven't tried this out but I wonder if any of the popular Android youtube clients would work with Windows Subsystems for Android on Win11. It'd be way harder to setup than Bluestacks but would require less overhead.

  • It's more work than using an alternate front end in the browser... of which there are plenty of excellent options... all which are optimized for use on desktop. But you do you I guess.

  • This is the right answer. A better backup strategy is an actual backup strategy. Snapshots, drive mirroring, rsync copies, etc aren't really backups.

  • The Steam awards are a total joke. RDR, a game with zero content updates won labor of love. Starfield, a paint-by-number Bethesda RPG is most innovative. But it doesn't matter because the awards don't matter.

  • Not if you have to run an entire android emulator to access it.

  • He's a completely insane horny man that loves action movies. His games tend to be high quality and even when they aren't good they are at least entertaining and try something new.

    He may have gone full George Lucas at this point though where he's so overhyped that no one second guesses him at all. Death Stranding had some weird shit even for Kojima. I wonder what he could make if his personality wasn't so dominant in a game and it had some input from other creative visions to reign in his weirder ideas.

  • Real life sucks so that's a low bar for VR to surpass.

  • You've just summed up the last 40 years of antitrust.

  • No, the pi zero is not going to be capable of running a Lemmy instance. I wouldn't recommend running it on a Pi at all unless you plan to store files on an SSD. I currently run my very tiny instance with just two users on a vpc with two CPU cores and 4gb of RAM but I still occasionally have performance issues.

  • I've started using Ansible to apply windows settings and manage packages because of this. It's a bit of work to setup the playbooks but I just run it occasionally on my windows hosts to keep Microsoft from reverting defaults.

  • LGBTQ+ acceptance is mainstream now. Now it's the right that is counter-culture feelings warriors. We need to make tolerance punk again.

  • I used to. Magnets on old hard drives were better. Any drive I've taken apart over the last ten years or so are smaller and more brittle. Not as worth taking apart.

  • If you're this concerned you might as well be running Windows in a VM with gpu passthrough.
