Note "published". Yes they use dedicated servers, but I'm not paying for ubishit or ea games that don't offer them for players to self-host.

I don't want any more competitive shooters with no dedicated server published. See this if institutional memory doesn't go that far, Dice fuckers: https://www.eurogamer.net/battlefield-keeping-dedicated-servers

Ads have become the new normal

I haven't seen an ad in ages on the internet. Also, ducks in the park are free.

What are you blathering about, it's never been cheaper or easier to have a personal computer than now, however you define it. You can go full paranoid from coreboot up or you can just get a steam deck and dock and have a nice arch in desktop mode. You can meaningfully use it with internet, Firefox with ublock origin, Signal to talk to your family without selling your soul or whatever. Is this written by a chatbot?

it's fit for work if it can shit and stare

That's nice, daijobu desu ne

Xbox Boss Phil Spencer

Get rid of that fucker first

I feel stupider for opening this shitty listicle

Jannies gettin iffy uh

The only problem I have with it is that it doesn’t have support for 12-key Japanese input.

Tried it now, it's really great but doesn't have the full pc layout that includes our accursed Č,Ć,Š.Đ diacritics. I'm actually really satisfied with my jugaad solution - downgraded version of gboard, frozen in time and cut off from the internet by Rethink VPN. There's no reason to update it, really, which is lucky since newer versions start randomly lagging if they can't reach google's fucking servers.

It's a slightly humorous tiktok video with Trump's insane rant about a person on a sinking boat choosing between death by sharks and electrocution. Once again, sorry.

When it comes to Android, this should be standard. You can block all the bullshit with a few clicks, some apps don't need internet access at all (such as the fucking keyboard, Google).

You're really killing this temet nosce shit

That's a shitty redditism and it's completely context-dependent, if the article said she saved a kid from drowning she'd look like a nice person.

Fucking finally die, ubishit. Release those toiling within your guts and let them make tasty roguelite twinsticks or metroidvanias on UE for 10$ a pop

Sorry

How do you play through that tripe twice? It has next to no challenge and the story is beyond stupid.

The entire video was leaked as a webm in 2022, I think, it's a colossal achievement in memeing.

All your games are on Steam and stuck there

No, that's the point, I have tons of ubishit and hundreds of Sweeney's freebies, some on gog, origin or whatever they're calling it these days, all over the place. What monopoly? I mean they sold me a linux pc in a gamepad that's fully fledged arch only Valve is maintaining it for me, drivers work with no fiddling or deep lore research. But I can do whatever with it, it's a personal computer. They didn't try locking it in any way. Remarkably monopolistic

Dear PC gamers, please stop removed about installing a second games launcher.

I'm neither removed nor installing that shit. I take every freebie, but never install anything other than through Steam, just let 'em pile up. I'm actually not bothered by exclusivity at all, I only exceedingly rarely pay for games before they're 75% off a few years down the line. Stuff like Synthetik 2 or Shapez 2, where I know what I'm getting and it's a small team with an uncompromising vision.

Epic’s behaviour was explicitly to try and break Steam’s entrenched monopoly

Steam doesn't have monopoly on anything, they just have superior service that people prefer, but there's quite a few stores / launchers. I like Epic's engine, but their launcher is still crap five years down the line.

I use Newpipe to anonymously access subscriptions and nothing but. Bonus is you can download it locally as video or 160kbps .opus

Maybe they could do a dual screen?

Homer's car

Good fucking luck, Sony. I'll help you by buying all your open world shit once it hits 20€ or less provided it's on Steam with no kernel-level drm and no launchers/logins other than gaben's. I know, it's a tall order, right?

You're backing yourself into a corner where you'll have to respond to every shitbird that comes crying some content hurt their feelings. Removing illegal material is the only thing that's expected, moderating people's opinions because they might make someone put glue on pizza is solved by a "nothing on this instance should be considered a fact" banner. It seems petty and the optics only get worse as you slowly burn out and stop being consistent in censoring shit. Because that's what it is. A cat might not be too stoked with its carefully balanced plant-based slop, but it'd be alive. Hope you'll go into kink communities and censor the shit out of risky sexual practices.

If you don't use cloud backup there's much better gallery apps

I mean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX-jNPasffc

Also, it worked markedly shittier on an unemulated speccy. This was the same year that saw the arcadey pinnacle of Jetpac and this glitchy creepy grindfest that challenges only patience and tolerance to noise gets itself a golden joystick for originality because of using lolrandom toy sprites.

Edit: I'm actually still mad 39 years later they made me fiddle with a screwdriver to load that shit

I'm not sure if I can post here.

Then what am I replying to

Since 1985. it's the same answer, this shit on the zx spectrum. Can't believe it got published.

Edit: won "Best Original Game" at the Computer and Video Games 1983 Golden Joystick Awards, fuck me sideways

Geez, MS, it's a place to filter a list with a few keystrokes and/or click a link or punch enter. It's such shit ad real estate you're just pissing off people about to discover nobara or this for nothing

That's why they have stealth enshittification techniques to disguise them.

Pardon my generalization, but literally no one is interested in threads

You don't raise temperature while the frog is in the pond.

Lately I've been reading a lot of books on narcissism and have been picking up on the idea/notion/possibility/viewpoint that narcissism is a spectrum like autism is. In autism, which itself is incredibly common due to the fact that it's multiple genes/processes/whatever performing multiple parts of a spectrum (think a carpet representing humanity and a shattered cup on the carpet, I use the shards in this visual to represent pieces of the spectrum scattered across humanity, apologies if anyone thinks a shattered cup seems like a negative comparison, I don't), you have the majority of humanity having some variance in it, which goes to demonstrate there's no such thing as a neurotypical. As in, if a scouter was invented that instead of scanning your power level scanned your autism level, everyone would have their very own signature number. I would be over 9000. Same with narcissism, if this view is correct, as it would be another shattered glass on the carpet that is humanity, with the shards from both glasses overlapping in their territories (which when you think about it makes the family dynamics in The Good Doctor all the more awkward, it's one spectrum at odds with another in a show where the main character is a medical savant with autism). And again, not trying to make an awkward comparison, I have friends who openly confess to me they're deep on the narcissism spectrum, and these people at least are trying their best in life, as well as showing narcissism is a neutral condition that just happens to seem more negative in modern urban situations

This is a pseudopsychological word salad, but please accept my apology if you're 14 or chatgpt prompted for redditisms, if that's the case good job.

It's a shitty toy that'll make some people sorry when they don't have any photos from their night out without tiny godzilla dancing on their table. It won't have the staying power Google wishes it to, since it's useless except for gags.

But, please, Verge,

It took specialized knowledge and specialized tools to sabotage the intuitive trust in a photograph.

get fucked

Given the context of reddit's corporate policy, posssibly Double Piston Fucking

It certainly is and I absolutely fucking hate it.

You can install any apk on your phone (even unrooted) and there's alternative stores such as f-droid, so why?

Why, thank you.

Also, fuck your "a" in that font. I'd punch that fucking glyph in the face if it spoke to me on the street.

Fuck you, Mozilla, it's uglier and tells less about your core product, which is also the only thing you have that makes people tolerate your other stupid decisions.
