In your opinion, what video games have terrible names? in c/gaming@lemmy.ml

“Echoes of the Plum Grove”. Sounds like they asked ChatGPT and went with the first suggestion.

What's the biggest, and smallest boxes you own ? in c/boardgames@sopuli.xyz

Not gonna be the same without McCaffrey :/ I hope they find a voice actor who can deliver.

Steam adds more functionalities to demos. Demos can now have their own page and reviews in c/steam@lemmy.ml

I don’t know, but this feels like a step back. I haven’t downloaded/played a demo since, like, 2005. There’s usually a gameplay video or review on YouTube that suffices before I purchase something. Ymmv :/

Me as well. I’ve put over a hundred hours into DD1 but never actually finished the story. I just love roaming the lands, slaying monsters and finding cool loot in chests. Absolutely love the game, and I’m more excited for DD2 than anything GTA.

iPhone users, what app do you use to browse Lemmy and what is the main reason you like it over others? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[–] itsgallus@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

I used wefwef / Voyager in the beginning, but I found that it crashed/reset too often for my liking. I’m now using Mlem which I’m pretty satisfied with.

What is the goal of FOSS? in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

[–] itsgallus@beehaw.org 7 points 2 years ago

Look at Blender and MediaWiki (the software running Wikipedia). They’re both FOSS and are developed and maintained by volunteers, backed by the end users. They’ve become such a big part of people’s lives, both professionally and privately, that they’ve become the mainstream choice.

Probably a stupid question, but will we ever have something like a microwave to make things cold? Is there a reason this can't exist? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[–] itsgallus@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Have it calculate the amount of full rotations and round it down to the nearest whole number. Worst case scenario, your cup is static for 5–10 seconds before the microwave stops.

What colour is each school subject? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

What two songs represent the polar opposite styles of one group or artist? - lemmy.studio in c/music@beehaw.org

[–] itsgallus@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Smash Mouth - Pet Names

Smash Mouth - Whole Lotta Love

Or basically anything from Fush Yu Mang compared to their later stuff.

Smash Mouth’s Steve Harwell in hospice care with only a ‘short time’ left in c/music@beehaw.org

Not entirely unexpected; his health has made the news quite a lot. Unexpected, however, that it'd be so soon.

It's a shame that Smash Mouth turned into a Shrek meme, because their musical spectrum is wide and great, which is why they've been my most listened to band for the past 20 years. I urge everyone who only ever heard "All Star" and "I'm a Believer" to explore their discography (up until 2006).

Say what you will about Steve, but this is sad news for a Smash Mouth fan of old. Greg Camp made Smash Mouth, but Steve gave it a voice.

The lyrics to some of their songs will hit harder from now on. "Fallen Horses" will never be the same again.

Edit: And there it is. He’s passed already, hopefully reunited with his son. RIP, Steve. You’ll forever be an All Star.
