Next step in the saga, Sony buys off EA as a counter attack.

That's a leap if I ever saw one. I could ask the same question and substitute AI with god or aliens and I'd be ridiculed by the tech community and with good reason.

And you don't need to take it much further to fall into the holographic universe principle or the simulation hypothesis and for those there are big discussions to be had in science communities.

To be clear, nothing stops you or me, or anyone for that matter from assuming so, but down that road the only answer I can think of is that nothing matters and might as well lay down and die.

It happened to me last year or something. Reset your password and it'll be fine. It was probably leaked.

Or do the smart thing and stay here instead. :)

I went with Antennapod and it seems good so far. It couldn't find one of the podcasts I liked by name, but when I searched for category it showed up. The rest were all found. Thank you all.

 

Is there an app (Foss preferably) that's good for podcasts? So far I use Spotify but it's ass backwards with playlists. I downloaded podverse but I can't find any of the three podcasts I listen to on Spotify.

Right, got it, thanks a lot. I'll stop downvoting in that case, except if something is really offensive.

[–] Atheran@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Alright, a question for you all about down voting. Is the platform, or the apps made for it take it into account for feeds?

ie, if I down vote everything I don't like seeing does it get removed from my feed? If so I'd just down vote and move on. If not, I'd probably not down vote, but even if I did, I'd feel like I need to give a reason behind it for the poster to know.

I'd hazard a guess that most people down vote you not because you don't want to use steam or that you want to pirate, but rather because it's most likely something wrong with your setup and you can't be arsed to figure out what the problem is. Which might end up being a lot more serious than simply being unable to launch steam.

IMO, figure it out, get your system to work properly and then go pirate if that's what you prefer.

I'll have to go through that thread post by post when I have time.

Depending on the game I switch between Xbox series, kishi, ps4 or dualshock 2, the latter I think is my favorite controller. I have tried a few others in the past, like Gamesir stuff and a few other telescopic ones for phones but didn't stick for me.

However I am of the opinion of playing a game the way it was supposed to, if possible, ie I'd rather use a 3rd party n64 controller for n64 games.

I am not sure if Lemmy can handle it, but if it can, I want to eventually start a thread on controllers per system, with linked reviews on comments, either mine or from the community. But I doubt Lemmy can do that. Perhaps a wiki of sorts. Eventually.

How are those emulation devices? I really want to buy that rg35xx but I think it'd really bother me trying to play say ps1 in such a small screen. And of course ds stuff wouldn't be that good considering the one small screen.

[–] Atheran@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Still haven't managed to get into MAM but abtorrents is pretty damn good so far. Haven't managed yet to search for something I wanted and be unable to find it.

[–] Atheran@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Not knowing what you're looking for, I can't help much. But I found a whole lot of art books on cgpeers and gfxpeers in the past. But registrations are closed now I think.

Meanwhile, 162 days and counting for dead space.

Doesn't make me want to buy it, without trying it out first, but saying hours to days for denuvo is..a joke really. Sure there were a couple of games that were cracked in a couple of days, but that's a handful of them in the last 6 years or so. Most take a long, long time.

Excuse the bad quality, trying to snap a photo of a crt is a Royal PITA.

Mednafen set for full accuracy with no scaling or anything to the crt. Next steps either a better crt, mister fpga or a modded ps1. Will take a while.

 

I never was a big social media guy. Never had a Facebook or anything, except what google forced on me like Google+ and on reddit, I just used it for very specific tasks, when I couldn't find answers anywhere else.

With the current shitstorm on reddit I decided that enough is enough and wanted to give this Fediverse I keep hearing about a try. With a little bit of searching around, I made an account, got the mobile app and things seemed settled. Until I tried finding stuff more targeted than a wall of posts on jerbil.

Granted, I haven't read, let alone tried everything yet, but it seems limited, or most likely, I have no idea what I'm doing. Take for example emulation. One of the subreddits I was in, was about emulation since that's a topic I'm passionate about. Good, went to the link provided to search for communities and got 11 results. As expected for the most part.

What was not expected was most of them being in the double digits of users with the biggest ones showing 3 posts and like..6 comments total.

I know that while the fediverse is not new by any means, there's a large growth now with the shit happening over at reddit and is in by no means as populated or interacted with as the latter. But those numbers seem so small to me that I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.

Please help out an illiterate idiot?

PS. Emulation was just an example I was interested with. It's not the point of my post.
