Signups in most platforms are quite hard. Straight up give your phone and do SMS verification, or at least give email and to register that email you will have to provide phone anyway. Captchas nowadays became so hard that even humans struggle with them and it often takes multiple attempts to get it right.

Imo their style of writing is very noticeable. You can obcure that by prompting LLM to deliberately change that, but I think it's still often noticeable, not only specific wordings, but higher-level structure of replies as well. At least, that's always been the case for me with ChatGPT. Don't have much experience with other models.

I personally never hated it, I just prefer Steam, because it has stuff like dedicated game workshop, forums, screenshots, achievements, cards, etc. Even when I got something for free in Epic Games Store I would later proceed to buy it in Steam and play there to have all those features.

exarcheia and anabaptist

Do those guys build their own roads, pipes for water and heat, homes, bake bread, make drugs, provide healthcare? Or do they depend on external nation-states and their economy to exist?

Proton has some technical issues as well. Recently there was a day when email wasn't working at all for hours, maybe even half a day. I'm paying for their VPN sub and using it for years and not going to move in nearby future, but if I was picking something now I would carefully consider other options. Never heard about those mentioned in thread though, if they are new I wouldn't use them, I'd like something with good record track of at least one decade, better few decades.

Why use photos when you can just memorize the picture in your head? 🫠

It's because streaming in movies is exactly the same one thing everyone thinks about, while streaming in music is dozen of different things and you meant just a single particular one while excluding all others. If we consider all types of music streaming, there are countless free streaming services for this: youtube, soundcloud, mixcloud, spotify, thousands of internet radios.

If you go back in time, you are just going to do what you already did because that is in the past.

Only if the Universe is deterministic. If not, random rolls having different outcomes may completely change the course of events and decisions made by people.

Edit: I see I'm being downvoted, so I'll explain further, if the Universe is deterministic means everything will be the same any time you relive the same time segment, if not, it means even the weather can be different due to aggregation of butterfly effect of different random outcomes in the Universe, and weather being different is already big enough change to be able to influence decisions and course of events. And I'm not meaning weather in the exact same spot you time-traveled to. Even if you restored the exact same state of Universe at some snapshot, if the Universe isn't deterministic, various random events happening after that point in time can have different outcomes which will aggregate and lead to even more different outcomes in future. Weather might be different the next day and because of that you decided to hide from rain in cafe and met someone there which can completely change your life.

Played some Doom 2 (halfway through Deck the Underhalls) today, gonna play Skyrim now (started new playthrough few weeks ago). After finishing Underhalls I'm gonna proceed to play even more Doom, and after finishing Skyrim I definitely wanna play more Morrowind, some big things released recently [1] [2].

Now ask about tiktok vs games and about gacha mmos vs other games 😅

I'm pretty much happy with conversations I see here. Plenty of quality discussion threads in AskLemmy, Gaming and Technology and Anime. Would be nice to see even more ofc, but Lemmy's not that big yet I guess. Questions is something that often starts interesting discussions.
