Such as? If you have a reasonably priced OLED dumb tv with HDR and 120FPS up your sleeve you will be my favorite internet friend.

Game consoles.

I wish there were more high quality dumb TVs. Most of the dumb TVs I can find today are both very expensive and lack the features I’m looking for like HDR and 120hz+ frame rates.

I know the argument is that the privacy invasions are subsidizing the cost of the TV but I have yet to see non-anecdotal evidence of that and suspect that the price of the TV would be the same either way because the market will only support so much expense.

The cut off “listen here” at the bottom took it past the edge of believability for me, but up to that point I was like 50/50 haha.

What? Like… in any language they’re still all bristles on a handle.

They’re all brushes my dude.

Tribespeople became so addicted that Marubo leaders, fearing that history and culture — which is passed down orally — could be lost forever, they have now limited access to the internet for two hours each morning, five hours each evening, and all day Sunday.

That is still so much internet, we would probably all be healthier following that guideline.

This just in: intentionally misrepresenting something has a 100% chance of it being misrepresented.

Let’s try again:

• proper tools are important, but not as important as the people using them
• documentation is important, but not as important as the software functioning correctly
• working with the customer to accomplish their needs is more important than adhering to the letter of a contract
• plans are important, but dogmatically applying them above the spirit of their intent is harmful

I had a setup that turned on the action camera when I put my thumb on the steam decks left stick, so I was always in normal mode unless I was actively looking around or moving.

It was pretty natural and the best experience I came up with, but I still felt like it was a compromise I was frustrated to have to make.

I set up a pretty workable controller config that I played with for like two months, but even with many hours invested in fine tuning it I just felt like I was fighting the game’s UI and I gave up.

What’s really frustrating is that the game is totally playable with a controller. ANet just needs to update the menus and it would be a fantastic experience.

If we’ve just met, not at all.

If we’ve been best friends for 10 years, that would sting a little.

It’s a sad time to be alive when people genuinely believe that being openly hostile and combative is the same thing as constructive criticism.

Banning seems totally reasonable to me. Nobody is obligated to put up with that shit.

Ken can suck a dick, Frank looks like a stand-up fellow and I approve.

Physical media today isn’t really much better though, increasingly frequently all a disk gets you is a license to activate a digital copy anyways, with a “must be online for first play” requirement.

I’m not blaming you for the state of the world, I’m blaming you for taking your fatalist nonsense and using it to try to bring down others with you.

This attitude is what lets the government and big tech get away with so much bullshit.

“Well it’s happening already so crying about it isn’t going to change anything because you know that protest has never ever been effective even once ever and I kinda like the taste of boot anyways so what’s the big deal?”

Learning to work the clutch and feel the friction zone is a more difficult skill than some want to admit.

Learning to drive a motorcycle was a bit overwhelming, I remember my instructor talking about applying the brakes with right hand and foot while disengaging the clutch with the left hand and downshifting with the left foot… and thinking “how the hell is anyone supposed to keep track of all that!”

I do miss my stick shift though, it was more fun to drive even if less practical.

Ugh I wanted one of these so fucking badly when I was a kid.

Homeworld 3 is looking well received on Linux via proton: https://www.protondb.com/app/1840080?device=pc

I really blame Musecore for this, and all of the social engineering that big tech has been doing for years to make profiting off of selling user submitted content seem acceptable.
