Are they?

Yes, they’re.

Thought experiment: Would you want to hang around with someone who's broke and homeless?

Yeah and I have many times. I live in Europe and when I visit my father’s country (an Arabian country), I meet people who are poor. I talk to them normally, have fun with them normally and just chill. Sure we don’t go to the ‘more luxury’ places but that isn’t needed to have fun.

And I mean, the person was very poor. As in when getting something to drink and you get these plastic cups, he saves them for his home.

But I can tell you, he’s more fun to be around than the ‘more wealthy’ people. He’s generous as well, willing to give his last bit of tea or food etc.

Do you experience any crashes with D1? I was planning to purchase D1 on sale but then I remembered, I had terrible experience with D2.

Continuously crashing which results in having to do missions over and over again. Eventually quit D2.

Genuine question; is there anything we can do against eye floaters or is it necessary to go to opticians/ doc?

[–] ModernRisk 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Truly depends on the game.

Well my main usage for the Deck would be games like; Almost all Switch popular Switch 1 games (except Zelda), Persona 5 Royal, Persona 3 Reload, Metaphor and Expedition 33 as well as the Ori games.

But yeah, there are quite a few AAA/higher graphical fidelity games I just won’t bother, even if it’s technically playable at a "smooth’ 30FPS. Like Kingdom Come 2 ran pretty decently on it, surprisingly, but damn did it really make the game look pretty rough.

I saw videos on YT that Metaphor runs on 30-40FPS in cities, 60FPS in battles and that with emulation it’s a bit hit-or-miss. Someone told me, I’m asking to much of a handheld device but considering that the Deck is €700 which is a kind of a normal budget PC.

This might be a personal thing but 30FPS is going to bother me to no-end. I'm probably just spoiled with the at least permanent 60FPS and very often 144FPS.

But, honestly, I still use my Deck a shit ton, especially at work. It’s hands down the best portable emulator machine and there are tons of indie games that run great on it. It also works great as a small laptop in desktop mode. I use it almost daily at work.

Great to hear! Did not expect the Deck being able to work as a small laptop, hah. Though, my main usage would be gaming at home (for example; in bed, on the couch or outside in the yard). Kind of want a handheld because after 5 days of office work, it's nice to game somewhere else than in front of the PC.

I have a PS5. I don't intend to ever buy a console again. That era is dead.

Similar situation here. Bought the PS5 and probably used it for a year or so and now it’s collect dust. Literally. Kind of regretting getting one. I only game on PC nowadays.

I was thinking to get a Switch 2 but then all the chaos hit with the emulation takedowns, Nintendo suing Palworld, Prices of Nintendo games, prices of their accessories and the whole game key card stuff. Just to much negativity.

Still thinking about Steam Deck but it’s 3 years in its life. So not sure whether that’s worth the €700 euro. Have heard it struggles with the current games.

I’m always curious whether they’re chill or got some sort of ‘drug’ to make it look chill (for views, clicks and such).

[–] ModernRisk 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

We are not Americans but honestly, I don't think he do vote right-wing. He's very much ''let everyone live the way they want''. Curious though what makes you think he'd vote right?

I had a colleague who said, he do only use it to find people to have one-night-stands with. He does not care about their political opinions as long as they can “fuck just right”.

[–] ModernRisk 1 points 1 month ago

Curious about what this was. I see the name and post as [Deleted].

[–] ModernRisk 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The thing is, I don’t think they even care about the people in front of them. But it’s good that others know exactly what they mean.

That’s all? That’s why they’re upset? Sigh, it’s as if someone accidentally farts and then they rage.

Isn’t he kinda right though? If I remember well, Superman came from another planet.

 

Pirates, I’m in need of help.

I’m searching for an online mobile based app to store images, videos and gifs in cloud (on an iPhone. Yep, I know..)

I used to use Pinterest for fan-dom image collecting (anime, manga, movies, books and such). However Pinterest new policy is ridiculous. Every day a pin gets removed for the most ridiculous BS.

So is there any way to do this without any POS policy company interfering?

 

I’m heavily debating which of the two, I should purchase.

I love cats and both are about cats but can only afford one unfortunately.

If anyone here have read one or both of them - which of the two do you recommend?

 

Question to the physical book readers here, what do you use as bookmark?

I currently got a paper bookmark but don’t like it to be honest.

 

Is there any book app on iOS that allows Face ID or Passlock?

It genuinely bothers me that Apple doesn’t allow this.

I’m sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask but I don’t know where else to go. Their dedicated Reddit is on private due to the fiasco.

I’m watching “Mr.Robot” and pretty often an extra letter with the subtitles comes, shows as [P].

I added a screenshot of what, I meant.

Does anyone knows what this means?

PS: I recommend this show!

I know this is the TestFlight version, so bugs to be expected however…

Is it me or have there been a bit more bugs lately? Perhaps I’m just unlucky.

The issues I have encountered:

  • Sudden crashes
  • Sudden freezes
  • Some subscriptions disappearing
  • Laggy with scrolling
  • Notifications does not work
 

I played GoT on release and right after Sekiro, thinking it would be A similar game.

It certainly wasn’t and thus didn’t really enjoy it, although the gameplay was alright. Also played on a pod TV which wasn’t able to do 4K.

Now I’m curious if it is worth it to replay the game on PS5 with a 4K TV.

I remember the story was about honor, dignity, revenge and not to be ‘enslaved’ by it. However the gameplay was similar to Assassin Creed kind and a bit lackluster.

Would you recommend the game again or rather try another game?

 

So my brother loves the Gundam Wing series and he really wants me to watch with him the movie “Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway”.

However, I have never really watched the Gundam series as - I was never really into Mecha besides a few animes.

Thus my question is: Can I watch the Hathaway movie without knowing anything about the anime series?

 

So recently learnt about Mastodon, thought I will just try it!

However, I have never used Twitter (ahem, sorry. “X”). I don’t really understand how it all works.

I have followed a few communities/people but all I see is single chat-messages with no replies beneath it and couldn’t really see about what it is unless it’s specific said in the sentence.

Could someone try to explain it a bit, a shorty summary or redirect me to somewhere it is already explained?

Note: I’m using Mammoth app for iOS, for Mastodon.

For the digital readers, on which platform do you read and why?

Phone, eReader, tablet, iPad etc.

I personally have been reading on my iPhone but it feels a bit.. off lately. Can’t pinpoint what exactly it is.

Was thinking to purchase a tablet or eReader but uncertain which one and if they’re worth to get for only reading.

EDIT: Thanks for all the responses! I’ll look into them all!

 

I would like to ask if it possible to have Face ID lock and the show the display name.

So not the name you made when making an account but the second one, to show. Currently (at least for me), it shows the account name instead of display name.

Would also like to ask is there any way to donate a few bucks to you? This app has been insanely good and I’m assuming, you’re making this in your free time without anything in return.

Question about FHMY (self.piracy)
submitted 2 years ago by ModernRisk to c/piracy
 

So, I’m bit out of the loop.

FHMY went down due to the ML domain (right?) and it seems they went to Calckey.

I was wondering whether FHMY will return to Lemmy sooner or later.

I was not sure where to post this, apologies if this t the right place to do so.
