Reno is an awesome town now, you should check it out.

Isn’t the game locked to 60?

So a lot of Java hate I think is mostly in jest.

Personally, Java was the programming language that I had to use for my first two years of college. It’s how I learned OOP, data structures, and algorithms. I had to use Eclipse, which at the time was AWFUL (and maybe still is, no idea). I remember it being semi-normal for it to take over a minute to launch on my (gaming) PC.

Later on, as I learned other languages and got a job, I just haven’t really had a reason to go back to Java, and most of my memories of it are from being annoyed at Eclipse and needing to implement Quicksort in it. I’m sure it’s a great language and I bet it’s a lot better and more convenient now. It’s just kinda trendy and weirdly nostalgic to hate on it in a half-serious way :) .

For real! This is why a lot of modern TV is hard for me to watch. So many stories about mostly terrible people being awful without any humanity. Most people are good.

Sure, but Sony has shown that they’re happy to release some of their exclusive on PC. The Horizon and God of War games both got decent PC ports.

A huge portion of Fromsoft fans are on PC. It would be a day one purchase for pretty much all of them. That’s been the frustration.

Isn’t the price matching requirement only when you’re giving Steam keys as part of the purchase from the other store? If Steam is going to permanently host and distribute the games, it’s only fair that the price on their store matches the other places you’re selling keys

Java has a lot of advantages, but that’s a crazy statement. I feel like literally everyone complains about basic stuff like public static void main, over reliance on factories and OOP, and just how much code you need to generate for some basic stuff. I’m not a Java hater, but I am glad I don’t have to use it anymore.

This was a great fun silly slasher story to play through with friends. It ran pretty badly on my PS4 at the time, so it would be fun to play it with a decent frame rate.

Pretty annoying that they’re still requiring a PSN account though…

I have the complete opposite experience. Weed removes the guilt of not doing anything, but it usually leads to me doing nothing.

I enjoy weed occasionally because it turns off that hyper critical voice in my head, but it absolutely isn’t a magic motivation medicine for most people.

After using pretty heavily last year and taking a break, I’ve realized that the overall effect is fairly negative, because it just makes me way too ok with doing nothing. Sometimes I need to do nothing and take a break, and it’s great for helping me do that, but for me personally, it’s a major negative when I’m doing it regularly.

Obviously your experience is different (as is everyone’s a little) so feel free to try it, just keep in mind that it can get very easy to get addicted to that “mellow brain” feeling until you realize that all progress on all of your goals have stalled out because it’s easy to just be high all afternoon and evening. There are lots of people who can be motivated and productive while high, but I think I’ve determined that I’m not one of them.

Some people with ADHD do get overstimulated and wearing headphones/getting away from nose helps.

I want to push back on the 50% figure. Most Americans don’t even vote. Maybe 50% of “voters” say fuck yeah, but even that isn’t accurate since he didn’t even win the popular vote.

I think it’s easy to get depressed about humanity when you start believing that half of the world is ok with Trump. The reality is that most of the world is NOT happy with him as an option, and even most of America is sick of him. Die hard trumpers are definitely a minority in the US, but they’re very loud and enough rich people boost those voices.

I love that DIA leaned so far into the conspiracy stuff. That and Blucifer still being around make me think that the people in charge have a bit of a sense of humor sometimes.

Publishers are usually the ones in charge of the store page and setting all that up.

It’s an awesome little device! You’ve got plenty of games to work through, but if you feel like trying a side loaded one, give my game Pogo Arc a try: https://thesambassador.itch.io/pogo-arc

It’s not a full dedicated gaming console that you’re spending hours and hours playing. It’s a toy that’s great for quick sessions and it’s really fun to develop games for. It’s very well made and the software is great.

It’s not a fair comparison to existing handhelds. It’s niche, and definitely not for everyone. Personally, I love it and think it’s just a unique toy that’s fun to show people. If you’d need to get X hours of gameplay to make it “worth” it to you, it probably isn’t your style.

It’s an enthusiast device. As a gamedev myself, it’s super fun to make little games for, and then you can easily show your friends/family. The limitations and unique input (the crank) lead to some awesome and interesting games.

I don’t really view it as a serious gaming device. It’s great for 5-20 minute sessions but it is basically a toy. I think if you’re interested in experimental indie games, it’s a great little device that’s absolutely worth it. It shouldn’t be directly compared to a “normal” game console because, frankly, it isn’t.

Jesus Christ, is Lemmy already at Reddit levels of not-reading-the-article and just assuming the worst? The comments used to be actually ok but here is almost everyone just making snarky comments that clearly didn’t read the article and assuming that this is the only money that Biden has approved.

It literally says it’s part of $50 billion earmarked for climate change related infrastructure.

Sure, complain that we spend way too much on military, but maybe you people should try and be better, examine your biases, and stop being part of the problem.

The first 5-7 days off meds are the worst. It gets better after a little bit, but I’m pretty worthless for the entire time and definitely irritable. Ride it out, it’ll get better!

Honestly, and what a good episode!

You’ve crossed into conspiracy theory territory bud. It’s not entirely implausible but it is getting in the direction of “out there.”
