  • This Need for Speed Rivals Mod removes its 30fps lock

    Jump

  • I don't disagree but I can prefer 30 fps right? I never said 30 fps is objectively better, it's just a preference. I'm not trying to be a contrarian, I'm just surprised it's so controversial to have this opinion.

  • What game company from your childhood do you remember with fondness?

    Jump

  • I was going to say Digital Illusions but for Motorhead, the racing game. The OST for that game has been in my music rotation for decades and it's still in my top 3 of all time.

    Jump

  • Looks more "cinematic" to me, if that makes sense.

    Jump

  • I might be alone in preferring 30 fps for most games

  • What are some of your, "If I like this, what else might I like" questions?

    Jump

  • You have a lot of recommendations already but I'd like to add two of my favorites: Courtney Barnett and Alvvays!

  • Younger users of Lemmy: Did you ever love a game that you just really sucked at?

    Jump

  • I don't qualify as a "younger user of Lemmy" but I love games like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. I suck at all of them, except for Killer Instinct but I'm only kinda good with Combo.

  • Google-hosted malvertising leads to fake Keepass site that looks genuine

    Jump

  • Turning it on by default would be a massive disservice to the work that domain registries and registrars have been doing to allow Unicode to be used in domain names. In Spanish speaking countries the ñ character is pretty ubiquitous for example, and the workaround of replacing it with an n creates many problems like misdirected web traffic and typos in email addresses. Unicode in URLs and domain names is a feature, abuse should be attacked by means other than disabling it.

  • Windows 12 May Require a Subscription

    Jump

  • Well it looks like they found some references to subscriptions in an INI file, but that doesn't mean it will require a subscription. It would be insane to try to sell new PCs with a trial Windows 12 license that'll eventually require a subscription. I can't imagine Windows could ever switch to a subscription model without a "base" version that's a one-time purchase, even if it's just for new PCs.

  • An Excruciatingly Detailed Guide To SSH

    Jump

  • The local and remote port options sound exactly like something I've needed multiple times in the past, I'll keep this saved for when it happens again. Great stuff!

  • what do you guys think ?

    Jump

  • Is VR really so ubiquitous to warrant these concerns? In my opinion most of the warnings about how this technology encourages "escaping reality" apply more to things that have had an established place in society for decades, namely phones, social media and online gaming. I have two kids and a VR headset is the least of my concerns, but they could be sucked in to the non-reality of a personal phone in two seconds if I allow it.

  • What's your favorite music trope?

    Jump

  • This one is probably very specific but Utada Hikaru has one that I love, where towards the end of certain songs she sings the chrous, and then keeps the same melody going multiple times but with different lyrics. It's like she extends the feeling and rhythm of the chorus but keeps it interesting by using different lyrics the whole time. Some examples: Goodbye Happiness, Making Love, About Me, LETTERS, Sakura DROPS.

  • FYI I made a patch for lemmy that turns off pictrs caching

    Jump

  • I set this up on my instance about a week ago and it works perfectly, thank you!

  • What would your contribution be for a book put together to restart a a civilization?

    Jump

  • My contribution is a very practical tip for parents: When you need to carry a kid sitting on your shoulders, first pick them up and have them sit with both legs on your right shoulder. Then, with your right hand, grab the kid's right leg, and with your left hand grab the kid's left leg and lift it over your head to place it in your left shoulder. Mirror the maneuver if necessary. The result is a quick lift-sit-and-switch technique, and fewers kicks to the head.

  • What is your favorite insult in your native language that doesn't exist or cant be directly translated in English?

    Jump

  • In Chile, not really an insult but rather a lament over how dumb people are sometimes:

    "Si los weones volaran, pasaría nublado" (If dumb people could fly it would always be cloudy)

  • What is your favorite insult in your native language that doesn't exist or cant be directly translated in English?

    Jump

  • Chile here, love Argentinian insult acronyms like LPQTRMP

  • What do you call Marshmallow in your native language?

    Jump

  • Malvavisco in Spanish as others mentioned, but in Chile we also call some varieties "guagüitas" (little babies) for some reason

  • Photon @lemmy.xylight.dev

  • What are your thoughts on the latest news about UFO sightings?

    Jump

  • We're like monkeys in a zoo to them

    People love seeing monkeys in the zoo, the closer the better! I think if we could travel to other planets to check out other life forms we would do it all the time. I don't believe aliens have come here, but if they exist and could come see us they would totally do it for the same reasons we would want to go see them. Makes sense to me!

  • Quake II - Official Trailer (2023)

    Jump

  • This is awesome. To this day Rage is one of my favorite music tracks from any game.

  • Disney to Crack Down on Password-Sharing Too

    Jump

  • I agree with everything you're saying. I was more answering to the comment above calling people stupid without any sort of context for why one could possibly choose to pay for these services.
