  • Anon plays World of Warcraft

    Jump

  • I played during the trial period once. I usually love games with fun gameplay loops that have a bit of grind, but I couldn't get into WoW. It just didn't feel fun. It felt like a job. I'm still not sure how it became the largest MMO ever made.

  • What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ??

    Jump

  • My games are less "nobody liked it" and more "a lot of people have never heard of or tried it":

    Ori and the Blind Forest

    and

    Ori and the Will of the Wisps

    They're absolute masterpieces. It's like playing a video game version of a beautiful oil painting with incredibly tight movement controls. And the soundtrack.....MY GOD is it good.

    It's one of those game series that I wish I could memory wipe to replay again. Sure, the story is a bit simplistic, but it hits the notes it needs to without dragging.

    It's one of the best Metroidvania games ever made, but it kind of fell into obscurity similar to other masterpieces like Titanfall 2.

  • The Matrix

    Jump

  • Personally, I wouldn't give AF if it was "fake". Fake is perspective.

  • Found yer problem bud

    Jump

  • It's nice to notice a problem, take a look, and immediately see a problem, rather than chasing an intermittent problem.

    I had an electrical issue that was an outlet that would have normal voltage until under load. Then it would tank. Turned out the neutral on one of the outlets in the chain had a contact that was loose. Took forever to find and thought I was losing my mind.

  • It's hard to justify buying a Framework 12

    Jump

  • I got a free, second hand Framework 13. It had a dead motherboard, but was in excellent shape otherwise. I bought a newer gen motherboard and some second hand RAM to move from DDR4 to 5. Kept everything else.

    Works great. Only paid ~$500 for parts.

  • Krafton is paying out $3 for every $1 earned. They made a shit deal.

  • How many and how much are your subscriptions?

  • Heh

  • For most US drivers, electric vehicles offer emissions benefits and cost savings, according to a new study by MIT researchers

    Jump

  • There are some types of vehicles that don't work currently for pure EVs. Long distance hauling vehicles, for example. Mostly because most EV charging stations are not pull through, so hauling a trailer while charging is a PITA. A plug-in hybrid would be perfect for this application, though.

    There are also many people who live in places where charging at home isn't practical. That's thankfully changing, though.

    Most people, though, should be able to drive an EV in America. I drive a 2023 Bolt and it's fucking awesome.

  • The Mandalorian and Grogu has lowest box office opening for a Star Wars film in Disney era

    Jump

  • Sadly, no Morrison appearance in this movie. Would have been cool to have Rex show up or something and have him play him in live action.

  • The Mandalorian and Grogu has lowest box office opening for a Star Wars film in Disney era

    Jump

  • Well that checks out for San Fran. That city is expensive as fuck. I don't know how anybody affords to live there, but I'm glad you're making it work.

  • The Mandalorian and Grogu has lowest box office opening for a Star Wars film in Disney era

    Jump

  • I went and saw it in theaters. It was pretty good. Not earth shattering, but it just basically felt like a really long episode of the show.

    Also, Zeb from Rebels was pretty prominent and I'm a sucker for Rebels characters.

  • The Mandalorian and Grogu has lowest box office opening for a Star Wars film in Disney era

    Jump

  • I went and saw it for $70 with myself and my three kids, plus popcorn and a drink. Unless you're in a high cost of living place like New York City or San Fran, it's not THAT bad. Not great, but not quite that bad.

  • People who are staying on Plex, have you tried Jellyfin? What about it do you not prefer? (real question)

    Jump

  • I use GeoIP restrictions on WAN and use a TLS offload on a load balancer in front. Problem is the older members in my family look at me weird when I give them a URL, username, and password. They just ask if they can use their Apple or Google account "like we do with Plex". So....for now Plex stays.

  • People who are staying on Plex, have you tried Jellyfin? What about it do you not prefer? (real question)

    Jump

  • Jellyfin is great and I run both. However, sharing access with family is a PITA compared to Plex. I paid for Plex Pass lifetime at the $75 and have no reason to fully move. Keeping Jellyfin around in case Plex tries to rug pull lifetime passes, though.

  • Temptation intensifies

  • Subnautica 2 Early Access sales top four million in under a week

    Jump

  • Well it's usually cheaper during early access. I got the game for $32, so you could just grab it and then wait for full release.

  • I'm an American and I care very much. I go to protests. I donate to causes like the Trevor Project. Republican Americans largely don't care.
