We all know this is going to be a chinese off-brand phone made by an obscure company with a history of slave labour that will last less than a swastitruck from ketamine karen.

I've seen this at work.

We installed a new water sampler and they sent an official installer to set up and commission the device. The guy couldn't answer a damn question about the product without chatGPT. When I asked a relatively complex question that the bot couldn't answer (that was at the third question), I decided that I had enough and spend an hour reading the manual of the thing. Turns out the bot was making up the answers and I learned how to commission the device without the "official support".

Days ago I discovered vacuumtube for steam deck. It's basically youtube with tv interface but with all the adblocks. It works wonders in game mode and even has controller support.

Oh that's so kind of you to say! I have to say, I've been pretty down about it all, but writing this up made me so very happy. I really love Lemmy for how easy it is to share these long-form posts :)

Happy to read this (the part about writing this making you happy I mean!!).

Lemmy is great for sharing long posts, much like reddit was before the enshitification. It's good to see long elaborated posts here among all the memes and other low effort content. And in the case of your posts, they are also a nice read in my mornings because of all the possitivity and joy you can feel when reading them. You really pour a lot of that in your posts and it feels!

Sounds wonderful, I'm looking this up now! It sure sounds weird, but the longer the gaming industry runs and ruins great things, these odd little different ones just make me happy!

I love "'weird" or unconventional games. And right now, it's the indie world that provides these gems. In an industry that looks for the short-term profit like the "mainstream" videogame one, they rarely innovate anymore. They just pick a formula that works and copy it until they find a more profitable one, so innovation now happens mostly in the indie world, giving birth to games as odd as this one, a yo-yo player bat that goes around a city beating corpo suits to recover a monopoly! You won't see EA making this kind of game, ever.

Fuck them. I hope it comes the day where all the sports media fail. People pirate because if you follow a sport, the only way to watch it is basically paying your firstborn to a media company. And that if you are lucky. Insports like football, you need at least 2-3 different subs to watch it all, putting the price well over what someone is able to pay.

They also keep raising prices, so year after year, prices go up and all you can do is suck it up.

At this point, it's no wonder people pirate. I mean, who can afford 100€/month to watch their favorite sport?

Fuck them. I really hope piracy wins in the long term. Keep fighting pirates!

I was waiting for this post, thank you! Since I discovered this "series" I've been hooked. It's nice to read some long content in a non clickbaity way (that seems to be the norm in the industry nowadays).

I'm really sorry about your nerve damage and hope you recover as soon as possible!

As for what I've been playing, right now I'm going through Blasphemous 2 (i loved the first one too) and a nice surprise: Pippistrello and the cursed yo-yo. A zelda-like adventure in which you play as a bat with a yo-yo fighting industry magnates to help your aunt recover the monopoly on energy she built to keep a grip on the city (I know! The setting is original, to say the least).

The gameplay makes you think of 2d zelda games, but the yo-yo makes combat (and even movement) a completely different thing of other games, I suggest you to try the demo!!

I've spent half of it doing so. I arrived to a point where I stopped caring and just let the others deal with it whether they like it or not.

We're not broken, and if they don't want to meet me in the middle when accomodating to each other, I'm not going beyond the middle point for them, actually, I feel more and more that I don't have to meet them in the middle.

The problem of this timeline we live in is that this could totally be a real ad nowadays.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — The FBI on Friday arrested a Wisconsin county judge accused of helping a man avoid immigration enforcement, Director Kash Patel said.

Patel made the announcement in a post on X and said his office believes Judge Hannah Dugan “intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse.”

See? Bullying fascism works. It's the only thing that works. Fascism is fought with violence (physical or otherwise) as it's the only language that it understands.

When an opponent doesn't care about rules, playing by those rules only puts you at disadvantage.

You meant ANOTHER crucial red line.

Apparently, talking about respecting human rights is "imperialism apologia".

It wasn't controversial. There is no controversy about it, everyone except nazis are saying that it was a nazi salute.

For people always calling the others "snowflakes" and "easily triggered", they sure do have a thin skin.
