Was reminded how Epstien not killing himself was/is so accepted yet it’s still a conspiracy theory. Is there any similar ones you guys believe to be completely true ?
Absolutely agreed here but I wouldn’t even consider that conspiracy, I think documents showing UAPs even admitted that. It being extraterrestrial would be the true WTF moment.
We have next door neighbors that are Muslim and are so very kind. They bring us plates of food when they cook and they even scared away some kids trying to steal our car at 2 in the morning....
How liberal/conservative do they seem? Our family is fairly liberal but others might not be like that especially if they are older. To be safe , a fruit basket is a good idea. Dates can be tricky depending on the origin of them (ensuring it’s not from settlements).
I was so addicted to this game it was crazy. Finally able to pull myself away now . It’s also a fun game to just pick up and have a quick session commuting.
This show should go down as one of the best comedies of all time. The way they meshed humor with philosophy and religion was a masterstroke. The ending always gets me to bawl (only About Time was able to replicate that ). The cast all around was perfect. That fucker Michael Schur did it again.
Hollow Knight is an incredibly competent game on pretty much all fronts. In my opinion, Hollow Knight is a masterpiece and we will discuss all the things that make it so great in detail in this Hollow Knight retrospective. However - the one thing that I find most fascinating about Hollow Knight is an aspect of the game that is...
I love both games as well. But even though they’re both considered metroidvanias, they’re fundamentally different games and preference really depends on what you’re looking for.
The death mechanic on Ori is a lot more forgiving as checkpoints are frequent and there’s no tracking back to get your souls back. Hollow Knight is brutal and far more of a challenge. Hollow Knights combat also feels “tighter” and more satisfying than Ori. However, Ori imo has a better story , music, and graphics. The traversal in Ori is a lot more smoother and enjoyable than HN, I find myself mindlessly cruising through the entire world (similar to how I feel swinging through Spiderman).

It’s time for the second ever weekly discussion topic, everyone! Before we continue, I’d like to thank everyone for all the interesting engagement we got on the last post. I was unsure if anyone would even comment at all, so seeing it be so active was really nice. Anyway, let’s get to it; this week’s discussion topic is...
I want to give a quick shoutout to Fable 2. The breadcrumbs UI trick was great as it let you know where to go but allowed you to enjoy the scenery. No longer did I have to focus on a tiny ass mini map on the corner of the screen. Can’t wait for the new one to come out.
Been using Memmy on iOS but used to use Sync on my Android device. Now I got that and using it more and more. Love the customization features on Sync and this is the first time I truly didn’t miss Reddit.
Logistically I’m really not sure how companies can promise a consistent experience with input lag considering you have to live close to data centers. Unless they’re gonna build them all around the country lol. Their tech for streaming I feel is very inferior from Nvidia and Even Stadia at the time.
I think for the next at least half decade, it’ll be a supplemental perk to GPU and nothing more. I don’t see it ending traditional game ownership just yet. Unfortunately the way digital purchase has been so widely adopted, we’re already halfway there. The used game market has slowly dwindled over the years.
I have the ROG Ally and I’m loving it. I’ve always been a console gamer and this finally converted me.
I think this is still my favorite movie of the year so far with Spiderverse (haven’t watched Oppenheimer yet). I’ve been so tired of MCU movies and this gave quite a breath of fresh air. High high recommend.
Andrew Wilson, CEO of EA, reveals that his company, Disney and Lucasfilm have a very strong and close relationship. Although he has not confirmed a third installment, he assures that he would love to do it.
It’s great to see them making more Jedi games rather than something that is more GaaS bs. It feels like the gaming industry is finally finding a middle ground between the two. The PS4/X1 generation really felt like it steered way too hard into live services at the detriment of many studios (BioWare with Anthem, even Arkane with Redfall recently) .
I think we’ll see that now with Ubisoft getting involved. Still blows my mind that BioWare hasn’t made a Star Wars game recently considering they’re responsible for KOTOR (then again who’s still around from them?)
I love seeing more competition in the PC handheld market. I personally have an ROG Ally and it’s been working great (I don’t have an SD card though).
I feel like at this point Microsoft needs to create a big picture mode setting for their Xbox app. I have GamePass so it’s been a struggle to navigate using handheld controls. Then I switch to Steam and it’s big picture mode is great to use and smooth. Shame Microsoft doesn’t have something similar on their own OS. Armory Crate isn’t bad but doesn’t hold a candle to Steam either.
Haha yeah LG has a very complicated UI. Their OLED TVs are definitely worth the premium though. Surprisingly my favorite UI is Samsungs in terms of simplicity. They have the one ribbon on the bottom with the streaming services.
They’ve honestly been the best streaming service for me personally. Their focus on quality over quantity has been great. There hasn’t been a show I’ve watched on the service that I would say is outright bad.
As Twitter ditches its iconic branding in favor of owner Elon Musk's favorite letter "X," its open source competitor Mastodon is once again seeing usage numbers soar.
Gonna go against the grain here and just recommend the default Mastadon app. It’s simple and gets the job done with no Bells and whistles. Not sure there’s much missing
Wait is it true that it’s streaming only ? At that point just buy a Windows Handheld or steam deck . The GPD win 4 looks like a successor to the Vita anyways
Transformers : Dark of the Moon - easily the best transformers movie. They let transformers just beat up on transformers for the last hour and half. Score was excellent by Steve Jablonsky, action was great and was a nice end to the first trilogy where there was at least a little effort to keep the story consistent.
Man of Steel - beautiful score and cinematography. The closest thing we will get to a high budget dragon ball Z movie. Still the best visualization of Kryptonian strength and speed .
Battle LA - Fun little alien invasion military movie. Eckhart gives a nice performance.
Tron: Legacy - visuals and soundtrack carry the movie hard. Imagine it as a very long Daft Punk music video.
The Greatest Showman - Amazing soundtrack here as well. Hugh Jackman’s acting was also great.
We’re the Millers - comedies might be cheating but had to highlight this one which I really enjoyed. Great chemistry with the entire cast

I actually really enjoyed Ms. Marvel. I’m a SA first gen from Queens and it was incredibly relatable and actually taught me a few things even I didn’t know about the partition. The actress is very charismatic and likable as well. The supporting cast complimented the show (the dad is MVP). My only real complaints are her powers just being very… boring lol. Hopefully they expand on that in the movie.

I’ve finally gave in and tried Vampire Survivors… what have I done. I didn’t realize it was 3AM by the time I put my handheld down and suffering at work today.
Outside of that been casually replaying Halo CE and **Midnight Club 2 **
I also loved GoTG outside of the combat. How I stayed engaged was trying to get the achievements for each other guardians to powers, made for some challenges.

I discovered today that my most played game on Steam is Astronner with about 500 hours, and my second most played is Surviving Mars with about 500 hours.
Mass Effect Trilogy. Each game when I initially played had 3-4 careers of 50 hours. This was when one game’s choices affecting another game to this degree was very new so I would be trying many different permutations.

Now that Sync and Infinity are out, which do people prefer? Also, how do they compare to the existing lemmy apps?
I have about 5 different apps installed right now, and while I plan to test them all out, curious what people’s conclusions are thus far.
