drasticpotatoes,

Thanks I had literally no idea what I was looking at in OP’s post.

drasticpotatoes,

Adguard for Safari is good. I switched to Brave recently as well though.

drasticpotatoes,

I know it’s where my apartment is. 🤣

drasticpotatoes, (edited )

If you want to hide something it implies that there is shame in it.

Edit: I didn’t finish my thought. My bad. I meant in cases like this, not in general. There are multiple exclusions to my above statement. It’s what I get for being half asleep and on the internet.

drasticpotatoes,

I didn’t finish my thought. My bad. I meant in cases like this, not in general.

drasticpotatoes,

Fair points.

drasticpotatoes,

I live in MN. I’m stoked. I’ve been eating edibles (full THC edibles have been legal here for awhile now) and will probably continue to do so, but I’m glad smoking is now legal as well.

drasticpotatoes,

My sister is still in WI. She’s happy it’s legal for me, but sad it isn’t for her. I feel for her and you.

drasticpotatoes,

Yeah, hopefully even as a country we’ll hit a tipping point.

drasticpotatoes,

Anyone have an alternative link for this? My ad block apparently mangled the format so bad I can’t read it.

drasticpotatoes,

Thanks!

The Weekly Discussion Topic - Roguelikes - 28-07-2023 (lemmy.world)

Hello all, this is the first post in a series of posts I’ll be making weekly to drum up some diverse discussion relating to all different aspects of gaming. I figured I would start with what I know, and so the first topic is thus: roguelike games. (If you think any of the below description is wrong or misleading, let me know -...

drasticpotatoes,

One of my least favorite genres.

drasticpotatoes,

Most of it boils down to death as a core mechanic. I’m also a pretty casual game player and most of the games I like are fairly laid back, so the difficulty is also a factor. Although I do like difficult games sometimes, I don’t like games designed to kill you easily, if that makes sense. I dislike grinding and most leveling systems, so making a game have grinding as a necessity for someone like me who’s going to need it is frustrating. I feel like I’m just dying a bunch to get “level ups” so that I can actually play the game. Feel free to ask clarifying questions on this. It’s a bit difficult for me to explain, I’m finding.

For the record and to hopefully explain with an example, I do like that they exist for people that like them and some games are fairly clever with it. Hades, for instance, makes a lot of sense to have a death mechanic because you’re trying to escape the underworld. It’s also a really clever game in general and I wish I could get over the difficulty and meta progression thing to play it. If it was a less difficult ARPG I’d personally like it more, but it wouldn’t contain the thing that makes it what it is and I think I’d rather it exist as it does for people who like that. I also love the idea of descendants being your respawn that they used in Rogue Legacy.

drasticpotatoes,

I did as well. Time to find some mind bleach.

github.com/…/Deviations-from-Chromium-(features-w…

The list of deviations from Chrome are much more extensive than I thought.

drasticpotatoes,

Nvidia drivers aren’t nearly as bad as most make them out to be. If you already have one, I’d say give it a try anyway with a distro that offers good support for them.

drasticpotatoes,

Can confirm. I offer it to most of my friends who are switching and have Nvidia cards.

My Opinion: NewPipe, Piped, Invidious, etc's days are numbered.

With Reddit shutting down its API setting a precedent in the corporate tech world (and Reddit was a major outlier in that a ton of their users are technical minded and support third party clients, YouTube does not have that kind of userbase and will not get backlash for it), Twitter doing whatever the fuck they’re doing, and...

drasticpotatoes,

There are a few creators who I can’t watch anywhere else, but as soon as Invidious stops working I’m out.

drasticpotatoes,

You are an amazing person for compiling this list. A thousand thank yous.

drasticpotatoes,

Good evening from the US!

drasticpotatoes,

None. Even when I’m viewing all I don’t seem to see any.

drasticpotatoes,

Thanks for your efforts!

drasticpotatoes,

You get a Lemmy and you get a Lemmy and you get a Lemmy… 😉

drasticpotatoes,

Thanks. I needed a jump scare.

drasticpotatoes,

Yet another reason I won’t buy their games. Hurray.

drasticpotatoes,

Interesting. I’ve been spending more time on Lemmy since the Reddit flood. I even stopped being a lurker.

drasticpotatoes,

I find that Lemmy users are more likely to engage in earnest and once it started getting a flood of new users from Reddit it didn’t change. This combined with the fact that it suddenly had more content I was interested in convinced me to stop being a lurker and try to add something to the whole.

drasticpotatoes,

Shitting the bed, looks like to me.

drasticpotatoes,

Sadly for them, I stopped caring about their games quite awhile ago.

drasticpotatoes,

The Apple App Store isn’t much better. I searched for the Mint Mobile app the other day and the top hit was an ad for something completely unrelated that didn’t even have mint or mobile in its name.

drasticpotatoes,

I wish some of the apps I use were feasible on a Linux phone. I would love to switch.

drasticpotatoes,

I’ll be sure to hold my breath.

drasticpotatoes,

Dunno about that. Ads are ads to me. I hate em all. Funny thing is is that the app stores for Google and Apple are pretty much the only places I’ve seen them in quite awhile.

drasticpotatoes,

Streaming black flag tv and movies has become the easiest option for me. I can watch anything from any streaming service just by searching the name of the show I want. I don’t even need to login, let alone login and pay for multiple services.

drasticpotatoes,

What does this do that the Steam client doesn’t?

drasticpotatoes,

Gotcha. Thanks.

drasticpotatoes,

Same. I’d rather enjoy my miserable life as much as I possibly can while I’m still young enough to do it.

drasticpotatoes,

Good. I wish more companies did this. I have multiple accounts strewn around the internet I haven’t used in ages that I just abandoned because it was easier than trying to get them deleted.

How do we know that everyone on the internet isn't just a bot?

I mean, there might be a secret AI technology that is so advanced to the point that it can mimic a real human, make posts and comments that looks like its written by a human and even intentionally doing speling mistakes to simulate human errors. How do we know that such AI hasn’t already infiltrated the internet and everything...

#Solipsism

“Solipsism (/ˈsɒlɪpsɪzəm/ (listen); from Latin solus ‘alone’, and ipse ‘self’)[1] is the philosophical idea that only one’s mind is sure to exist. As an epistemological position, solipsism holds that knowledge of anything outside one’s own mind is unsure; the external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist outside the mind.” -Wikipedia

drasticpotatoes,

Thanks! I was looking for something like this!

Do you use the swipe to type feature on your phone? (kbin.social)

Is this how most people type on mobile these days, drawing lines all over a keyboard instead of tapping the individual keys? I've never had an iPhone so I don't even know if they can do this natively, but I know you can switch keyboards at least, so it should still be an option if not.

drasticpotatoes,

Nope. I find with all the word replacements that are wrong that my typing is actually faster by just tapping the first 2 or 3 letters and hitting one of the suggestions.

drasticpotatoes,

I also put my finger in.

drasticpotatoes,

Right handed: phone goes in left pocket, screen usually facing thigh unless it’s hot outside and I don’t want the screen to fog (it gets really humid here in the summer), and the camera down. The reason for this is that I use my phone two handed, mostly because I hate swipe typing and I like having my keys in my right pocket so I can easily use them right handed. I also have my fingerprint reader set up for either hand.

drasticpotatoes,

I purchased non residue duct tape simply to combat this problem. Many of the electronics in my apartment have tape covering lights.
