Of course, it’s for the click attack, skill, attack, heal sequence of a gameplay loop. I kid, I kid.

Efficiency is one thing, endless repeating and hand-holding is another. I wish I actually understood what people see in these games other than nostalgia.

Every time I try to play a JRPG or some Japanese games in general and they do that thing where they explain the same story beat over and over again or go through gameplay mechanics insanely slowly. Then people say yeah but it gets better after 10 hours, I’m like who the hell has 10 hours to burn on such nonsense.

People complain about the new wolverine game that it plays itself, at least that one seems to have a story that moves on after it told you something.

There are so many popular games like this that I can only reasonably explain by assuming the people glazing them are children or mentally challenged, but then how do they sell by the millions?

Mind blowing but not nerdy.

As others have said harmony is setup exactly the same as android, open source OS on which a closed source customized flavor is built. It’s exactly as bad or not bad as android is in this regard. The flavor being in control of a Chinese corporation instead of an American one is another issue.

One of the four great spirits Puck? The beast of the end Puck? This Puck?

But go where though? Every single manufacturer is competing to see who can do the most anti-consumer bullshit and get away with it. They’ve been slowly boiling the frog for two decades now.

35-37 hours is standard in Germany. Bavaria is one of the most expensive regions so depending on where you live in Sweden it might be like comparing yourself to silicon valley or Switzerland.

Productivity is high enough to support living wages for people and those wages need to keep up with whatever is the cost of living in an area. A rich asshole who has never worked a day in his life telling everyone else to work more for nothing is completely removed from any truth or reality.

From 2025. No idea why anyone would post this now.

I’m honestly shocked by anyone south of the US not using the SI system considering they use metric otherwise.

I always say if I were a billionaire I would fund games and shows left and right, there are so many ideas that die or fizzle because of lack of funding. Seems like most people with money have no other passion but their money and controlling others.

Personally I would sponsor whatever cyberpunk game CDPR is working on next and for an original IP I’d like to see a medieval era ghost of Tsushima like game with all the longswords, chainmail and leather armor that comes with that.

Not trying to tell you to parent better, shit’s hard, but I see two possible things that might help.

First, any device he uses should be filtered from the open internet on router level with a white list of approved things he can access.

And second, you really need to talk with him about it. Why it’s a bad idea to text numbers of the floor, how cards are gambling and how specifically gabling will ruin his life and about addiction and how almost everything on the internet is designed to create it and abuse it. These would be long and not just once conversations with examples and reiterations because the subjects are complex and he will need a long time to process and absorb all that.

Good luck!

I have raid 5 to protect against hdd failure and I run syncthing and duplicati on immich and other folders for on premise and remote backups.

What I’m curious about is how people make stuff like Immich and nextcloud available to other people outside their network? When I need to access something remotely I vpn in. I know I don’t have the knowledge to have my server connected to the open internet in a secure manner. I don’t think someone like family members would ever want to bother with anything other than a link and a login page so only me and my partner use these services.

But this particular example is far from a cooked brain situation. I had the same questions when I was a kid about how they make cartoons and movies. There are many practical and in camera effects that were used to make people bigger or smaller and are very interesting to learn about. Nothing cooked about it.

Feels like we’ve been waiting for this bubble to burst for a lifetime.

I have also never read the books but that last season throws every character development out the window in a show all about characters and just rushes through scenes ignoring any build up to conclude to whatever shit the writers thought no one would ever guess because it was more important for them to not be guessed than to make it make sense.

It is objectively a horrible season, doubly so in contrast to the first one.

He sees the content and interacts with it on his own instance so he is not in fact “here”. Unless you are trying to somehow claim ownership of this community because it’s hosted on the lemmy.world instance.

I wasn’t on the list but I feel included now. Thank you deranged manchild of the fediverse.

Yeah this type of satire has lost all meaning and amusement when we realized there are many people taking this shit seriously and they have voting rights.

I don’t think there’s any positive environmental impact tbh. Plastics made from petrol tend to be made from by-products of the gas industry and are cheap and readily available. Plastics made from bio-sources sound eco, but actively require land and water to produce and it’s not like they break down somehow better when released in the environment so are in fact net worse. Sounds like green washing to me.

Was checking this out recently but everyone in this thread will be dead of old age by then, it’s not expected to be a fast transition.
