I enjoyed memes back in the forum days because they weren’t frequent with it being more discussion base, so when they showed up it’d have a tendency to actually be funny. But, move towards generating meme content quickly diluted the experience of memes with forcing of memes.

Yep, with move towards disc’s becoming glorified license checks that allow you to download the game it’s piracy that will end up actually preserving anything.

When pay is basically non existent is there a reason to be on spotify? Or is it for “exposure” in hopes of finding new fans.

I wish Naughty Dog would make something other than Uncharted and Last of Us titles. Last time they had a new IP was the PS3.

I uninstalled chrome. Stopped logging into YouTube. And moved to freetube on desktop. Newpipe on Android.

I wouldn’t bother with the app. Log in through the website with lite apps.

I’ve never watched game awards. I don’t even know if there is even a main one. Watches speeches is boring which is why I don’t watch award shows in general.

Only goty I care about is the goty edition where the game releases with all the DLCs bundled at a discount.

There’s user name generators. Even fantasy name generators too so it’s not a weird jumble of letters and numbers like a password.

Since the ad push led to me fully adopting newpipe and freetube not anymore.

I have the steam deck. I’m asking about a dock.

I’ve wondered if it would be worth getting a dock to hook it up to my second monitor in desktop mode for just web browsing and watching videos.

But it’s $1600 Apple. Not the cheapest Mac book air.

Yeah, there’s no proper screening process and companies aren’t help liable for malicious advertisements. It’s the Wild west out there, and companies take money from anyone due to there being no consequences. Internet advertising has no proper screening process like network television.

I’d go for high fps but same resolution. There’s some rhythm games that benefit from higher frames with it mostly being just scrolling notes so run on potatoes.

It pushed me more towards degoogling. Was already using newpipe on Android and ignoring the YouTube app, and now I’m on freetube on desktop. No need for Google account anymore to look at the feed I want.

Yeah, things that weren’t called AI years back are just getting called AI now.

If there’s a more active community it could be a good idea to have the community locked but have a thread redirecting visitors to the other community to help the one that’s still alive grow.

I’m surprised that government devices aren’t heavily locked down so users only have the bare minimum apps and lock installs. Even weirder that government officials would be allowed to use the device for personal use. That’s how I’d think work devices would be handled to try to reduce attack vectors.

Short attention span leading to doing gaming in short bursts. Sometimes I lose interest in games for months and get more into the mood to watch TV shows and movies. Then lose interest in that and move to reading then lose interest in that and going back to gaming. Rinse and repeat. Has helped me avoid the whole not having fun with games anymore threads that I’d see a lot, since my focus just naturally shifts back and forth to keep things feeling fresh.

That’s awesome news. I love these old games getting pc ports and quality of life features.
