unabashed shills

Damn I’m a shill now :( sorry I enjoyed be able to game when I didn’t have good hardware.

Cloud gaming is not for everyone but just cause some people found use in it doesn’t make them a shill. Everyone I know from cloud gaming circles only used it till getting a decent PC or console

I used it for a good few years when it first was a thing. It’s pretty decent when you are close to the server and have stable enough connection. I played quite a through few steam games this way through geforce now. Even cyberpunk 2077 was a great experience on it.

It’s a great stepping stone between getting new hardware but once I finally got my PC I just stopped using it.

Now gfn was the only good implementation cause it used your existing steam (and I hear now Xbox) library, instead of being locked to the app itself, so you could even see it as a extension to your setup

Bonus menu of artwork, music, and behind-the-scenes videos, showing never-before-seen concepts and unused art as well as the entire Cuphead soundtrack

all stuff that’ll be online within 24 hours, no new gameplay content

I’d imagine most people using YouTube aren’t looking for TV/movie style content, rather the user created stuff. Or maybe TV shorter clips.

This is true. Best use is still using something like soulseek for offline files but algorithm actually let’s you discover outside of the same couple dozen bands

Its very easy to play the older AC games. Download a rom/iso and emulator

This is exactly why emulation is a needed thing.

Looks like it nice upgrade to it’s predecessor. I have no use for it but 8bitdo always makes great stuff so for those interested it’s probably worth it

Before this tweet, they also mentioned piracy over grey market keyshops, which seems to be a lot more of a valid reason to endorse it. This seemly links to that tweet.

I loved the skip puzzles feature! I struggle with them a lot and I’ve dropped so many games cause of them.

I thought the title said nose rings and was like where do I sign up?

I guess that would explain why I never use other formats, the compression itself isnt important to me, just being able to send a folder of files without a bunch of uploads

Really can’t relate, I only use 7z and compress to .zip it’s literally the most common format and I never use zip files for anything other then sending files.

Honestly I don’t even know what the real difference between the compression formats are, even as a sorta Linux using geek

Locked down software is shit don’t get me wrong, but being able to jailbreak it feels so good.

Setting up accounts on last.fm and/or listenbrainz is a must for those who want to track listening habits, make charts etc. See https://feddit.de/c/scrobble if you want help setting it up.

Coming from the wiiu I learned it quickly. It seems wii u ports kept touchscreen support for menus but new games didnt bother

This appears closer to something like steam’s remote play together, where you can connect to local multiplayer games with streaming. You could use it as a sort of GeForce Now service, but it wouldn’t be the best way to do it.

Luckily for op they can edit the title, so please do @tictac2@lemmy.world

Sticking to FOSS and decentralized apps as much as possible. And using less invasive apps like Firefox over chrome. Be willing to jump shit when corporate throws in bullshit if you have to use something closed.

This is the only way to slow the spread of enshittification around the web. It will be less convenient for the end user, but ultimately it’s the only way to stop big companies from fucking the web

I was moreso referring to dealing with the dark patterns that apps use in general, not the school doing that.

This was my experience with schooling as well. Sure I had my phone but it wasn’t what I needed to lose focus. The issue is how school is taught. I’ve had classes where I’m so focused and invested because of the professor and content. My mind wouldn’t even think about being bored. But some professors are honestly shit and don’t engage enough. Couple that with the general school environment and boom nobody wants to be there.
