Maybe not everywhere, because then it wouldn't be nearly as special, but I absolutely adored the "asynchronous multiplayer" aspects of Death Stranding.

Viewing the "strand contracts" tab and looking at how many other actual humans used and "liked" the infrastructure you created, or helped to create. Creating contracts with players who seem to appreciate your work, so that you see more of their structures, and they see more of yours. Only a couple examples. Trying to find the most optimal place for a bridge, or watchtower so that other players will appreciate it and give you "likes." That nice feeling of warmth you get when you finish building a road that others had started...

Just the whole freaking thing fits so well into the "we're all in this together, even if we're (forcibly) isolated" message the game is conveying. Working together with real people that you will never directly see or speak to, in order to make an incredibly arduous journey a bit easier for all. Amazing.

At least I think that was one of the messages, Kojima can be cryptic at times lol.

Again, I wouldn't want it to become the next "climb the tower to reveal part of the map" mechanic, and get ruined. You can't just shoe-horn it in, it has to make sense in context.

I had to get a plug-in to add click to play/pause so it's like almost every streaming site. Also, I don't believe there's a way to get it to automatically play the next video file in the folder after one video finished, without making a playlist.

Small gripes, I know. I'm coming from MPC on Windows so I miss some of those features.

Sponsor Block (the Firefox extension) gives you a ton of customizability. You don't have to have it auto skip, you can make it so a tiny bubble pops up asking if you want to skip or not. Or you can even just have it highlight it on the seek bar and nothing else.

So you're saying homeopathy is just something we don't understand? Or astrology? Seems like you don't understand how the scientific method works.

Food would be so boring without garlic or onions.

DeSantis did it in Florida a year or two ago as well. These people are gearing up for civil war.

The one that confirms your previously held bias. Great way to choose news sources.

And yet at this moment it has +16 points.

There was a good month or so there where lemmy wasn't inundated with far right nonsense... that was nice, wasn't it? Sigh....

For me that's the two intro screens for ps1. I can still hear it.

You could still play most (if not all) ps2 games without a memory card. You can't save your game obviously, but nothing stopping you from playing.

You're just objectively wrong. You're making sweeping generalizations about entire industries and you're just wrong. It's exactly the same as the music thing, you're just refusing to accept it.

There's a lot of trash. Maybe it's mostly trash even. But there's also the best stuff that's ever been on TV. It depends where you're looking.

Let's be honest, TV shows and movies nowadays are dogshit storywise

This is such a bad take. It's the same as the, "good music doesn't exist anymore" bullshit.

Television has never been better. If you can't find great TV and movies to watch, that's on you. Seems like you're just bad at finding them.

And I think Germany knows about that first hand.

I think calling them "completed scripts" is a misnomer (likely on purpose to cause confusion). People who are hired to write for shows, don't just write an episode and then never interact with the process again. They get hired to do re-writes, and change things on the fly. The former is shit, it doesn't work, yet it's much cheaper, so...

Solidarity forever!

None of these people seem to understand political capital.

What a brain rot take. They are children, my guy. I know you think you're the smartest 12 year old in you class, but not everyone is as clever as you .

Or maybe this is just you telling everyone that you know don't know how propaganda works.

You forget that literal children play these games

First thing that comes to mind is Pink Floyd - Echoes. One of the greatest tracks ever, but that bit in the middle is kind of grating. Maybe if you're tripping hard enough it's not that bad...

As a long time Boost user for reddit, I was tempted to switch over when I saw the news. Then I thought about it and realized that Connect has been working just fine and I really have no reason to switch.

Maybe I'll dabble in a couple other apps to see if any suit me better, but as for now, Connect is the only one I need. Great app, thanks!
