Somebody get Mike Lindell on the phone, I think we figured out a way to make America great again!

Stray

Binding of Isaac Rebirth

Disco Elysium

Dark Souls Remastered (don’t think it was even on sale, but I have never played a souls game and was told this was a good place to start)

Basically a bunch of big hits that I never got around to. I’m starting with Stray, it’s relaxing and fun. I played a little Dark Souls, but I need to come back to that when I have more time to focus.

I was also looking at Death must Die. I played the shit out of Vampire Survivors, and I’ve heard DMD is more of the same.

Last big StamDeck game for me was Hades 2. Loved the original and 2 was just as fun. I know it’s not fully complete, but I unlocked everything available and upgraded most of the gear all the way. I can’t wait for the full release.

I’m on Lemmy.world because it’s the only instance I could make a account on the day Reddit shut down the API. All of the other popular instances had account creation stopped because of the flood of people.

I could probably make an account on another instance, but I’m pretty lazy. I honestly don’t know what the benefit of using another instance would be.

Oh man, that just reminded me that PB Crisps existed. Fuckin loved those things.

For android it’s power+volume up to bring up the power options menu (shutdown, restart, etc) and there is a “lock down” option that disables biometric unlock.

Wish I could do it with one hand, but good to know it’s there.

Linus was ahead of the game on this one. Nvidia should start building data centers next to public pools. Cool the systems and warm the pools.

Yup. I can say for sure that SSDs were certainly a game changer, but now we have systems with like 10x the processing power that operate at the same speeds because the power has been spent on poorly optimized code and bloatware.

Sigh… I’m going to have to start fucking around with Linux, aren’t I?

The worst part is that Windows can do that, but Microsoft insists on enshittifying it. Like Windows 11 isn’t that terrible if it wasn’t for all of the data collection and advertisements and other shit.

I miss the Windows 7 days where you could download a stripped down ISO that was just the OS. It launched your programs of choice and didn’t suck up your battery running unnecessary junk.

All of the towns for me were black and white…

I was still rocking a Gameboy Pocket.

In my teenage years and early 20s I pirated everything because I was broke. I could squirrel away enough money to build a low grade gaming computer and the benefit to me was “I don’t have to pay for games because I can pirate them”. That or I survived on Demo CDs that came with magazines I got at the book store (and later on I think it was demoplanet.com?). If it wasn’t for these resources, I probably never would have gotten into PC gaming.

Now that I have expendable income, I buy games that I want to play.

I would never have been a customer if I wasn’t originally a pirate. It’s the circle of life.

Also I just went and bought this game because I have money to support shit like this and I’m all about supporting developers who understand.

Ahh yes. Reminds me of my teenage years. Experimenting with Marijuana, pirated MP3s, and the Milkdrop visualization plugin for Winamp. Those were good times… Real good times.

It’s going to be relentlessly compared to OverWatch. It’s basically an OverWatch clone with Marvel characters.

I am saying this with all seriousness. Have you had your eyes checked recently?

A friend of mine was complaining about the print quality of some text on a can and I was like “hah what? Lemme see” and it was perfectly clear (just like the bear emoji or any other emoji for that matter).

You may need glasses.

Oh… Wow… That’s bullshit.

For Playstation users? Or like, if you are on PC/Steam you need to make a Playstation account?

It seems like you’re having a difficult time understanding this, maybe I can help. If another group of people showed up, and they had signs, and maybe bullhorns, and they started protesting the opposite of what the original people were protesting, they would be counter-protesting. Some heckling could even be involved.

When they show up wearing masks and wielding baseball bats, they are not counter-protestors. They are violent criminals. They did not show up to protest. They showed up to insight violence.
