Recently I've been playing Payday 2 again. A game I discovered when I was 13 years old, and played with my 10-year-old brother. (30 Juin 2015 to be precise, but who counts) We didn't have any money (and our parents didn't want us to play violent games but play nice games [and watch Jason Bourne with them after hum hum] but found the demo of Payday 2 super fun, and played the 2 missions over and over again. One day we discovered online that we could have a plugin, that would give us access to the locked weapons and masks in the Payday 2 demos, and the fun quadrupled for us! Years passed, and we had this thing called Christmas money, we bought with it Steam card, and bought a cool game called "Payday 2" not the demo. (22 January 2017 to be precise, but who counts) Well it turned out that what we found fun in the game was just trying cool guns, and stupid builds, and making masks. And we downloaded cheats for the game again, not to ruin the fun of others, but to unlock what we found fun in the game and have a good time.

Recently (7 years later wow) we wanted to play again, and discovered that there was a "Carrier mode" to help us choose missions, (something we rarely did before because there was too much choice, we instead played basically the same heists we knew because of the fear of choosing), And we are having a blast rediscovering a game we love (With the cool masks that never disappeared yay) but I do feel personally bad for seeing "1302/1328 Achievement" I never did all of those, I randomly clicked a button in English I did not fully understand one day and got all of those. I looked how to delete them, you basically have to do them one by one and I feel a bit bad, because I'm not part of those "7% of people that finished the [Dodge This] achievement, I don't even have the weapon. It's dumb but it makes me a bit sad that's all. Wish we could delete all of them in 4 or 5 clicks.

PS: If anyone has a way to see how much time you have played a demo, I would love to know, I'm curious if I've played more the Demo than the real game as of now

Tomorrow, I'm moving to the UK (yay!) I lived in France for 3 years, and everything has European Sockets. I've got for now one Adaptator That goes from European Sockets to UK Sockets. And I was simply wondering if it was ok to plug a 6-EU Multi-Socket into an Adapter? A 600w PC and a 2k144hz screen will be plugged in it, and maybe a lamp, and sometimes my phone charging

Have a Wonderful Day while you're at it!

Ok I think I do know the answer but I never learned it, so I want to learn it today. It's been about 1 year now we can reliably make 3nm chips, which is impressive on a scale of size. But why is is better? My theory is simply: We can make a product the same size but add more on it because it's smaller, making it stronger and faster for more complex operations. Which would mean it's not the chip that's impressive on its own, just the size of it.

Or there is something else, and I'd love to get the full explanation and understand chips better

I don't see where in the option is the button to make "Subscribe" the main choice when I open Sync, can anyone help me find it?

Hey, I've been looking at what I'm subscribed to on Lemmy and it really grim, and not really what I want from a social media. I'm into tech, but the tech subs talk about evil things companies do, a lot of linux meme and programmer humor, and it's all cool and all, piracy talking about how it's bad what certain company do. And when you go in global it's "Amercan Politics" "Elon Musk Bad" "Stealing data", "our world ending"

Recently my brother and I where bored, and I went to show him we moved to lemmy, and said we had memes and all the stuff here. And looking at top memes, it was "complaining about big tech", and "complaining on windows".

And, I miss a bit all I had on Reddit not going to lie.

So is there any active community with some positive things anywhere you'd recommend. I just feel like I'm in a bad angry environment.

I've got:

!wholesome@kbin.social

!wholesomememes@lemmy.ml

!cat@lemmy.world

!rpgmemes@ttrpg.network

!pixelart@lemmy.ml

!photography@lemmy.ml

!cafe@monyet.cc

!houseplants@mander.xyz

Edit: Wow! If you come after, I'd truly, truly invite you to look around in the comments, people here truly changed the way I see Lemmy, its way different now! Way better!

First I'd like to say thank you for having various font and the possibility to change the size. I'm on a OnePlus font and stock I cannot change fonts so I love having choices!

I really appreciate also having access to Open Dyslexia, I've used it for multiple months personally, and have found the Atkinson Hyperlegible is really good too, and looks to the people around eying your phone a bit less alienating and easier to start using for a lot of people!

Thank you for the app and have a great day!

Ok, here me out, this is so small compare to other c/mildlyinfuriating that people would not casually read what I have to say.

For the last 3 months I've had hiccups 5 times. And I have hiccedup 6 times in total. In Juin It happened for the first time. I had hiccuped once and it reminded me of stories about "telling yourself your not a fish" so at the second hiccup I told myself, "I am not a fish"

Boom, nothing at all. I was mad. Why. God damn why. I am almost now pissed I am not hiccupping this make no sense.

But maybe, it was a random one in a hundred lucky moment where I told it to myself when it naturally stopped. And I awaited the next time .

End of the month of Juin. Going down the stairs from the cafeteria after eating with people,

I had one.

The second it happened I thought to myself how angry I was before and instantly told myself "I am not a fish". And nothing after... Oh boy I was fuming, there is no reason on earth that thinking I am a biped, a homo sapiens sapiens. How can my brain forget that I sapiens the sapiens and goes back to fish mode. You have the capacity if you'd wish to, to build rockets, but you forget your a human and find a bribe of fish DNA in me somewhere, wow

So I continued for the next two month. And after 3 month of evaluation, I have come to the conclusion that for me, this indeed works, but have not accepted the fact this sh.itjust.works .

Thank you for hearing this, and I can only invite you to try it, I personally almost missed the funny feeling of hiccups today doing it almost automatically

I am in the process of looking between repairing my phone or switching to a new one. And the no brainer evolution to the OnePlus 7 Pro I have is a Pixel phone. Pixel Phones are definitely not perfect, I know that the battery would fall faster than other phones but hey, that's ok, google chip in it, possibility to go GrapheneOs, all good.

But the A versions only having 128 GB, and needing to pay 100 extra Euro on the Normal and Pro phone for 256GB is ridiculous, and not allowing me to add a SD card for that! Is insane I restarted my phone in December fresh from zero, and in the last 9 months I used 163 GB of memory. 48GB of it is my music on Deezer, for which I pay to be able to download "HIFI" files which I am not willing to trade for using less space on my phone, I work in a place with no 4G, I've got a few playlist I switch between. The rest is 25 GB of Pictures, 7GB of games. 44GB of apps.

Now the answer to this is "Well now with your Pixel phone you can use the Google Cloud, Google Docs blablabla". Something insights by Google offering 3 month of Google one and 3 month of YouTube premium when you buy a Pixel phone. So much cloud that's soo cool! And you can just redownload things when you need it. Well I don't want to redownload my musics everyday when I listen to them, I don't want to trade and limit what I would call normal use. I know not everyone will resonate with this, but the carbon impact on bandwidth used from cloud in 4G is important.

Normalise SD cards, Normalise not using the Cloud as a solution for everything

Update 2 Days later

Hey, writting here because this post has brought a lot of people to talk about storage of data on phone, which is quite nice. I am writting here just because a lot of comments are repeating certain points and It wouldn't be useful answering to all of them if after their will be more comments saying the same thing.

I am not saying Cloud = Bad. It's great we have a place out there where we can Store Data in case anything happens. I simply wish either brand gave us more choice on data capacity, seeing a Pixel 7a only at 128 gb ain't cool, let me make a choice. Seing a Pixel & with 128gb or having to pay an extra 100€ for 256gb when a sd card is 30€ is not cool.

A personal server is in my plans, and it's one of the projects I'm the most impatient to have.

I understand that I have a different use of phones then the average, I simply want to be able to adapt the tools I use to my different use.

I have taken the step to take a look at the storage in my phone by curiosity and to look with a different eye my consomption of Storage, and have deleted 3gb of games, and 3gb of apps that where useless. I've also started looking into my photos and took out 3gb of photos I had which where useless. And I think there is more photos I'll delete, I am not done on that of course

My signal discussion are important to me, I am in a Long Distance Relationship, and discussions I have with my SO on Signal are the major part of my relationship, and I cherish them. I have set up signal so that it makes when charging at night a copy of my discussions, and when I have Sincthing, it loads the conv to a HDD Drive on my PC. That being said, in the floders I found bugged temp file from saves that did not end, for a total of 20 gb of Signal discussions (oof lol) which where deleted too. How ridiculus was it? Well in Storage>Files the weight of total files dropped from 20,68gb to 0,68gb

Anyway, I am now at 132gb :D! I'm not writting this because I am feeling attacked or to defend myself, just as a small update and because these are reocuring comment that's all, i'm still anwering here and there if you arrive a bit latter to the post, it's impressive from lemmy I feel to still be receiving comments and have a discussion that continues 2 day after a post. Usually on Reddit posts would die in 6 hours, and their where no dick's in the chat. I've read every single message, and answers other people did

Writing a Good Bad Guy in Books (In Fact any media) is the "classic choice" sometimes they are really poorly made, and don't work. Other times, they are loved so much that when the character was only added to kill the hero, they end up becoming an Icon
