Yeah true, AI art is more “looks OK at first glance, but smaller details are messed up”, while this one is the opposite of that so “smaller details are actually fine, but as a whole it looks quite messed up” haha

I actually liked 3D movies and I even bought the Nvidia 3D kit to play my PC games in 3D, it was amazing (to me)!

But it was an imperfect 3D technology that gave many people headaches, so I can understand why it eventually got scrapped.

I do have a VR headset too, but besides Half-Life Alyx, there haven’t really been any VR games I am so hyped for that I keep going back to play in VR.

Looking at this cover art again now, it kinda reminds me of AI-generated art lol

Yup, I still visit Reddit daily because of the small subreddits for games I’m playing, which are barely active on Lemmy.

I mostly stay away from everything else on Reddit, but then again I already usually did that even before the recent API changes and removal of third party apps.

You could say I can try to contribute more to those communities here on Lemmy, but even on Reddit I never posted much and would just comment on random stuff once in a while. So it’s hard to go from that to actively posting and commenting here on Lemmy…

I did read some argument that for certain foods, if they removed the plastic wrapping, the expiration would happen so much faster that food waste would increase by a lot. I honestly have no idea if waxed paper would work as well though.

I do agree that hopefully alternative solutions can be found in any case…

I have been trying to replace as many of my synthetic clothes and textiles with cotton (or other natural textiles) as possible…

Man, they are still not selling them in Norway, so only one shop has them as a “special import”, and it cost 827GBP for even the 64GB version lol.

Oh well, not as if it is that useful for me since I am usually at home almost all the time after work anyways. I have barely even used the Nintendo Switch’s portable mode.

Ah, found it now, thanks! I guess because swiping anywhere by default just went to the next post, I didn’t expect it to have an option for swiping the comments too.

I tried Infinity too, while I miss swiping to upvote and reply to comments, the swipe to move between previous/next posts was interesting, so I’ll have to test it more to see if I like it!

After Sync released I tried even more other Lemmy clients because of all the other recommendations in the Sync discussion threads, and there are definitely a lot of great Lemmy apps.

But as an old Sync (for Reddit) user myself I also get the feeling of familiarity using the Sync Lemmy app, with the customizability to even adjust what each “step” of the swiping gestures does, while using other Lemmy apps I mostly feel like I’m locked to “getting used to the app”. So I understand why some people are so happy to use Sync again.

That being said I do agree that it feels expensive to pay even for ad-less, and people may not like that the free version has ads. I will probably pay just for ad-less (not Ultra) once I have figured out if I like any of the other Lemmy apps better (or not.)

“I’m sorry that my tea is not to your taste, a lifetime of junk food must have destroyed your taste buds .”

Help, my ads are broken, it’s just a blank box with the text “Sponsored content”, is it just because the app is still in beta? I don’t have any adblocking installed on my phone lol

Oh well I may buy lifetime once that is available anyhows.

I’m not young either but I guess that’s just emoji speak for “puppy eyes”? Although I’ve only seen it used in memes so I have no idea if kids are actually using it in messaging unironically…

To a child, one might say that was the warmest July you have ever seen. “But there is another way to think about it,” he said. “It is possible to flip the story around and to say, ‘Well, this is probably one of the coolest summers you’ll ever see in your life.’”

Man, this has the same energy as that Simpsons scene / meme

Took me a few tries to find it because I searched for your spelling lol: https://kvaesitso.mm20.de/

I read some interview about how they had to “nerf” the headcrabs by making them latch on to your chest instead of actually your face because it was too intense for VR, haha

Loved the game!

I liked the first game on my PS Vita, but that was the last Playstation console I bought so I never got around to play the second game.

Would be awesome if the games were released on Switch yeah!

My biggest gripe with the first game is that it builds a mysterious world, but then the main story didn’t get far enough to answer any of the questions about the world, it feels like. I haven’t really looked into the story in the second game in order to not spoil it in case I play it later though.
