True, but thats still double to triple what i’m willing to pay for a phone. 8-900 is fair for the provided hardware though.

Gotta love the sony hardware. It would be the perfect phone for me if - and thats a big if - i had the money to throw 1500€ at a phone. But yeah, SD-card slot, dual front speakers, headphone jack, sick camera setup, no punchholes, no stupid 4k screen anymore and now even with acceptable software support. I think they also still have unlockable bootloaders and the camera wouldnt be crippled by it anymore like 10 years ago? But 1,5k… nah, i’m good.

Good

My dear lemmings. Remember there were exactly two reputable Switch emulators. Yuzu and Ryujinx. Both got shut down by the big N in one way or another. I’m sorry but everything since then was based on the work of the prior mentionend projects without major improvements but was filled with shitty drama. Wait it out. Thats my take. There might be a real alternative on the horizon. But so far all of them just burned out in the stupidestest way possible.

Who gives a shit. It isnt '15 or '16 anymore. We all know it for a decade now. He’s a moron. We know. Could we focus on the fact that the fucking US is turning into a fascist state?

The first thing i noticed is the awful amount of TAA/Upscaling artefacting. Apart from that it looks good i guess. I mean its GTA. It will probably be an enjoyable game. But still: Fuck Rockstar. Fuck Take2.

i’m shocked.

If it gets announced or released: Cool.

But until then all those leakers, dataminers, third class publications, youtubers and everybody else who profits from the attention these leaks naturally drive can fuck right off. The current Valve leaks news cycle is so fucking annoying. Be it Deckard, Deck, HL, whatever else.

Apart from that i was pissed at Valve for the cliffhanger at end of EP2 with no follow up. But that was 15 years ago. Seriously its been over 10 years since i decided that i just stop care about this franchise. Still played Black Mesa when it finally hit 1.0. That was nice a throwback. But HL3? I just dont care anymore. Might check it out if it ever gets released or i dont. idk

okay who else was really confused because they only relate aeiou to that 14 year old moonbase alpha video on youtube? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv6RbEOlqRo johnmaddenjohnmaddenjohnmadden

i’m still proud of myself that i got rid of the four different scart cables i had left in box a few years ago. one of them was even transparent blue. a real looker. it really hurt. but i live my best life since then

Nope.

Atleast from my perspective there isnt any hope left for the ‘big picture’. Everything is just utterly fucked. Nothing left to do but to live your best life. For me it still involves living by my ideals. Just for my sanity and because it feels right. But tbh were just fucked and i try not to think about the implication of the future anymore.

I was always a pessimist tbh. But jfc even with that in mind its all so fucked up rn.

As an european i feel flattered with that assesment. But that would be really bad handling of IT-security. I truly never want to get hold of the ‘recycled’ phone of high ranking politician.

holy moly, look how fucking crisp that old ass meme is. no dschiffpegg artifacts whatsoever. my eyeballs cut themself on the sharpness of the pixels.

anyway heres some goobicii: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLQQW-On0uY

I always enjoyed browsing ‘new’. Both here and on that other site you might know of. Personally i dont like the bots here. They just clutter the timeline IMHO. I visit ‘social media’ for a feed which is pre-curated by humans. I’d rather use RSS if i wanted a constant stream of news articles without curation by others. The problem i see on lemmy is that in rare cases the bot posts still get user engagement which i miss out on if i just outright filter the bots out.

Its nothing i lose sleep over and the situation as is… is alright i guess. But if i had anything to say and had a choice i would outright ban them. But tbh i didnt think through the consquences.

heres the video of the creator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSBNs3TeINc

I’d say its mostly sample size. Lemmy is still small. The ever so slightly off feeling interactions have a higher chance of getting noticed because they dont get buried under hundreds or even thousands of other posts most of the time. So its pretty easy to come across discussion threads which werent upvoted by the hivemind for beeing ‘normal’.

my evidence for it beeing ai: that sad bit of parsley in the top right. it would had never made it into the picture if this was real. considering how much effort would have gone into prepping up the meal perfectly.

Hmm, in my experience there are lots of people in the emulation community who just enjoy to get things to work. So the fun comes from building up the romsets, setup the hardware, setup the emulator, test if the games are working, dial in the config for edge cases, maybe layer on a crt-shader, package everything behind a frontend, etc.

They rarely play through an entire game and instead just test out one of the thousands of roms they showed on to their handheld for a few minutes.

Yes, i’m talking also about myself. But after 10 years in the ‘hobby’ this seems to be pretty common.
