He admits this in like the first 20 seconds. Lol

And also pay us a fucking livable wage that's been adjusted for inflation and productivity gains over the years for fucks sake.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I really didn't like the nemesis system at all. Just like roguelikes, the infinite repeatability of it was a turn off for me and made it feel pointless. I'd much rather play a hand-crafted, limited, curated experience that actually feels meaningful. These generative systems just feel lifeless and pointless to me.

Also, fuck warner bros.

Just click the right arrow to scale it up?

I can't tell if this is legitimate or not. Lol

The younger generation makes me proud for this reason.

Don't even ask, just start washing them yourself. Lol

You really have to listen to what the onions are saying, to get the best results.

Yes. I think it would be helpful.

Dude, you should re-post this with the 'here is the inside' picture featured as the main picture. Thing is fucking sweet!

My options for internet connectivity are very limited. I was wondering if I could go to a library or coffee shop or wherever has a good connection and do all my downloading remotely, or if I will run into problems/restrictions.

I'm thinking they may not allow VPN's or something like that?

Fuck Ubisoft. (slrpnk.net)

I was pretty hyped for the new prince of persia game (the lost crown), but come to find out it's only available on ubisoft's proprietary launcher or epic games. Nope, and nope.

I just want to have it available on my usual storefront, Steam, but it's been decidedly omitted. As a long time fan of the old games, this kind of hurts. Especially since many of the others -are- available on Steam.

I wonder if/when it will come out for Steam. These platform exclusivity deals need to die.

Edit: It's also available on several consoles, my post was just from a pc gamer's perspective.

You are too impatient. We have this wonderful new thing, that's just in the very beginning stages, with such incredible potential.

I'm so excited to be here, and other places on the fediverse, and being able to experience this great paradigm shift is pretty special to me even with the current drawbacks/shortcomings that it comes with.

Hi, I'd like to lament a little bit here and see if you all would like to make some suggestions for me too. I've have consistently encountered different issues through 3 different speakers that I've tried using with my laptop

The first one is a JBL flip 6. When I have it connected to my laptop it makes consistent audio glitches/stuttering (so much so to the point where I consider it unusable). This is really disappointing because I have been really happy with this speaker, it otherwise strikes an excellent balance of battery life, portability, sound quality/volume, and versatility. I don't know what causes this problem (which seems to be exclusive to being connected to my laptop) and otherwise have zero complaints about it.

The next speaker I tried is a Marshall Kilburn II. I really enjoyed the sound quality of this speaker, looks, portability, the controls were all pretty good, and it had a 3.5mm audio input jack as well, so this was going to (hopefully) alleviate any potential bluetooth woes. Well, Marshall did a stupid design choice and implemented an automatic standby mode. This mode was so persistent that I would have to use the button repeatedly in order to get sound to come out of it. In-between watching videos, or playing games, having to repeatedly press the function button on the speaker to get the audio source to switch back to the aux input was a real annoyance and immersion breaker...

The third, and current speaker to have become a failure for me is the razer leviathan v2x. This one is a usb-c powered speaker, with bluetooth as well. It is not being recognized as an audio device by my laptop when I plug it in. It seems to have pretty excellent bluetooth connection, which would be fine except for the RGB lighting is reactive by default to whatever audio is being played. It's setup in a visualizer kind of way, which in my opinion is way too distracting. I don't want this thing erratically flashing quickly and with many different colors when I'm trying to watch something, or listen to something. It's extremely distracting and immersion-breaking. I would be ok with it if there was a way to turn this off, or make it less erratic, but because the speaker isn't being recognized by my laptop, there's no way to control the speaker's lighting using razer's software which also doesn't recognize the speaker (bluetooth or usb-c connected). I called Razer support to troubleshoot, and was recommended to take it back to the store for a replacement. If it so happens that this was a factory defect, and the replacement operated correctly, I'd probably be happy with a new one.

Thanks for reading all of that, if you managed to get that far.

I've been using this app for quite a while now, and I like the way it's designed, but I'm wondering if there's a better equivalent.
