  • 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.




  • 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’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.



  • Last time it got so bad that I started duping to be able to function there with a new character without nolifing the game. Something which I had promised myself not to do ever in this game, ever since I learned how back in 2007.

    I heard a lot of people with performance issues, luckily I never had that problem myself for whatever reason. Regardless if it was with the new or old engine.

    Then again, if I ever decide to play again, I have an entire roster of lvl1 chars with the entire set of the store QoLs to go, from all the keys to the gardens, to stupid amounts of VP/tokens, to banks and portable stores and even endgame armors and a complete set of twinking weapons/armors for every skill/ability at every breakpoint. So it’ll be easy to get back into it.

    Though I doubt I ever will again.


  • Mine would be Anarchy Online. Still around, though FC has ran it to the ground and not too obscure, considering it used to be quite big before 2005ish, but almost nobody talks about it in EU and the few times they do is to comment on the dreadful launch.

    But I doubt there’s a game I’ve sunk more hours into, playing constantly from release up to 2011 and then on and off until last year. Eventually I figured out it’s just nostalgia and it’s not worth it anymore, the time, let alone the sub.






  • A week and two updates later. FPS stays at 15 but for some reason now I get a warning that it needs 8gb ram that I didn’t get before and tge loading times are much worse.

    The game is playable, being pixel art and old, you don’t really feel the 15 fps and they don’t make it unplayable or anything.

    That said, I wouldn’t play this game on a phone anyways even if it run at 60 locked and I fully understand that my s9+ will never be good enough for yuzu. That’s not a criticism of the emulator whatsoever, just reporting how it plays on old exynos phones.






  • I’m pretty sure those immigrants have more interesting stories to tell than a billionaire. Just saying.

    Living your entire life in a warzone or in inhospitable environments that force you to leave your family behind and getting drowned while the general society ignores the underlying problem seems more worthy of questioning than a billionaire trying to go sightseeing thinking their money shields them from nature. I’d post a clip of a movie that fits here perfectly, but the clip is not on youtube, for anyone interested, look up ‘whatever works’ with Woody Allen there’s a newspaper scene at the beginning of the film.

    Anyways, apparently they’re dead. Now to move to more important issues in society.


  • I finished the original Crash trilogy on ps1, now I’m playing Odyssey and will continue with the rest of switch Mario re-releases. After that, I’ll probably start n64 with Zelda and move up the ladder to switch Zelda games. Or I skip Zelda and move to some ps2 platformers.

    I do have full 1g1r collections set up, up to ps1 and top 100 for the newer systems that I want to play most of, especially now that I found retro achievements. It’s time to do so that I don’t have.
