  • controller that isn't ms or Sony?

    Jump

  • I got the Gulikit KingKong 2 Pro a little while ago for the hall-effect joysticks and am liking it so far. Haven't used it a bunch with my Deck, but when I did, it worked well. It's $60, though, so maybe too pricey.

  • but true

  • I hate that this meme always implies Trump handed that dude something smart when it was just absolute bullshit.

  • Because it is too accurate

    Jump

  • I'm assuming this is more a comment on the modern news cycle than about Reddit. Hell, most things barely last a few days outside of their immediate time frame, let alone a week.

  • How to de-radicalize my mom's youtube algorithm?

    Jump

  • Some things just completely skew your home page with just a single viewing. I am very careful with my watch history, only watching one off stuff from other sites in a private window. That seems to work well.

  • How to de-radicalize my mom's youtube algorithm?

    Jump

  • Go into the viewing history and wipe it. Then maybe view some more normal stuff to set it on a good track. That should give a good reset for her, though it wouldn't stop her from just looking it up again, of course.

  • People with custom pronouns, how do you prefer to be addressed? (she/they for example)

    Jump

  • Everyone has "custom" pronouns. Some just match possible preconceived notions about them.

  • Second largest Lemmy instance preemptively un-friends Facebook

    Jump

  • I find your hyperbolic outrage over nothing "distasteful" and "disrespectful". Go to another instance if you feel so strongly instead of trying to rile up some sort of revolt against the admins as if that would accomplish anything.

    Jump

  • You're linking your own post about assuming what the admins in .world have done as if it's definitive proof. After a definitive statement is made one way or the other, then you can start freaking out. Until then, just stop it with the conspiratorial garbage.

  • Is Hogwarts Legacy any good?

    Jump

  • Some people can use help on puzzles, sure, and I don't hate when a game gives some hints or guidance there, but it can be a bit egregious (God of War was terrible with this, and I heard Ragnarok was even worse). What really drives me up the wall is the constant hectoring by npcs or even the player character to get to the next mission checkpoint, often in open-world games where a lot of the fun of the game is exploring outside of the narrow mission path. It's like devs have such little faith in their game that they want the player to just finish it as soon as possible and not investigate it too much.

    I'm replaying RDR2 and a huge part of the enjoyment of that game is just going off and hunting or running into random encounters. For the most part, the player can just go off doing their own thing, ignoring the plot entirely. Can you imagine how awful it would be if Arthur was constantly muttering about how he should be on his way to this point or another, just to progress the story?

  • Is Hogwarts Legacy any good?

    Jump

  • Outside of combat, magic is painfully boring. Your main character will also constantly spoil basic puzzles for you. “Hmm, a rock, perhaps I can use MY LEVITATION SPELL”. “Oh, cobwebs are blocking the way, perhaps I can use my FIRE SPELL!” Everything boils down to basic interactions like this.

    This is probably my biggest pet peeve with modern games. From straight up spelling out the answer to puzzles to nagging the player for not being "immediately" in the next mission area (I'm literally on the way, shut the fuck up!), there is just no space for the player to explore or figure things out or just chill. Makes me want to mute it entirely sometimes just to avoid the constant pestering.

  • Just a reminder that you can decorate your profile with the special set from the summer sale :)

    Jump

  • I've got the Gold Helm background from the Steam Monster Game and never changing it. RIP Steam summer sale games.

  • I started pirating movies again after a decade

    Jump

  • True!

  • Any good debloated TVs?

    Jump

  • You tried, little bot.

  • Online dating

    Jump

  • This is not a comment on you, but I do the same thing and have come to realize it's at least in part a response to being judged in some way (or feeling judged at least) over things I shared with my family, so now I just don't share.

    If it's important to you, it might be worth having a conversation about why they are withholding and, if it's for similar reasons, addressing why they feel that way and assuring them you'll do your best to keep them from feeling bad about sharing.

    Jump

  • Online content always seems to provide sub-par quality, even on good connections. Don't need to worry about that with downloaded media.

  • I started pirating movies again after a decade

    Jump

  • Streaming services are bound and determined to make themselves Cable TV all over again. We had it good for a little while, at least.

  • Meta: OH, COME ON. ISN'T THAT BETTER NOW?

    Jump

  • Lol, good troll account. Here's your downvote.

  • What's your favorite game you never hear anybody talk about?

    Jump

  • Not so much my favorite game, but just one of absurd obscurity: Special Training ‘99

    It was a game I found in school that I lost track of and nobody I asked about it had any notion of what I was talking about. Only just found it again recently.

  • What video game have you played the most, that you think is garbage and no one else should ever play?

    Jump

  • Far Cry 3 was so frustratingly dumb and yet so popular. The gameplay was fine, but everyone was blowing up about the stupid ass sub-villain with his Philosophy 101 ”zingers" in "White, suburban YA saves 'savages' from themselves with horrendous war crimes" the game. It was really irritating.
