Anon wants a cute girlfriend.
  • i think people can change in their teenage years by the forced interaction in a small social environment at school. but once they reach adulthood, anyone in need of further personal growth just isolates and festers in their ways, avoiding confrontations that could prove them wrong. here's to hoping that you who scrolled this far down in this lemmy thread make an unlikely friend when you least expect it and become a little better than before 😎👍

  • The official Nintendo Museum appears to be emulating SNES games on a Windows PC, which is slightly embarrassing
  • technicians just know what's good. unfortunately every company becomes too big for its own good and inspirationless ghouls take over 😔 the palworld thing also just shows they could be so successful if they take off the shackles and make a good game, but now they want to shackle everyone else so no one can have good games

  • the same freedom that affords him the ability to be a dumbass in public affords you the freedom to not be dead.

    though i do get the worries that come with the extremism spreading out.

    most social media anger is trying to fix problems that aren't problems. meanwhile politicians get away not pivoting towards UBI. then we get more nationalists, and then we get more social media shitstorms. 😬 anyways, enjoy the ride everyone

  • i don't get what's going on in this comment section - are we going to be mad at some code for what a person says on social media?

    i tried running Firefox on my 2018 budget phone and every https handshake takes 5 awkward seconds and it's more like 0.5 seconds on brave. it's open source, built in dark mode, and runs well for me. it's not even a gut feeling thing, on Android this is objectively beating the competition within the privacy conscious space.

    i believe COVID is as natural and genuine as the historically evident spanish flu - but even if someone exists who is too stupid to get it, I'm happily enjoying the fact that he has nothing to do with me

  • seriously.... there aren't that many of them
  • one of the few upvoters here 😂 this is mostly not wrong. most people don't give a shit, don't be mad just because you don't like the truth. however, I'm still gonna blame billionaires, or by extension anyone with the mindset of trying to become a rich person. all of these rats actively undermine democracy using highly effective lobby campaigns. you can only blame the plebs to some degree. they're stupid but also too stupid to fix it. meanwhile most people with higher education have no sense of compassion and just afford themselves a few more blissful years. we're cooked, guys, time to finish what you wanted to do in life and get ready for the bad days 😂

  • All hail 2B's ass
  • that's true but i think compared to most other consoles nowadays it goes a very sustainable path. valve does nothing to prevent you from running gog games, which are true digital ownership at least. i know physical media are the most tangible option in the moment, but in the long run blurays for example actually have a limited lifespan

  • Anon wants to stop the mad painter
  • i think it might be a problem with the design of the rest of the game, maybe too many distracting elements necessitate the yellow paint. in real life i can function without yellow paint. i used to be fine without it in games, especially hitman contracts for example. it could be due to graphical fidelity, which seems one of the reasons battlebit made such a surprise success in the military shooters. in modern games with too many 3d rendered objects you can't see clearly what's going on - in real-life you at least have depth information to distinguish things, it's not all in the same plane in front of you.

    however, i found the old hitmans so much more immersive. i really disliked feeling guided around as if it was a theme park in the latest ones

  • Anon applies for a job
  • doesn't need a chain. many companies save money offloading the application process to an external website, and that one manages it for a lot of different companies and then sells your data

  • How big threat do you think Intel ME is in reality, not in theory?
  • precisely. a few years ago i thought people will become more used to cyberspace and at some point revolt against digital blackboxes as much as if the builders or housing agents would put actual blackboxes into people's homes. but no, digital literacy is going down, i guess the newest generation doesn't even know that we had start menus without candy crush ads at some point 😔

  • PCIe bifurcation

    Hey y'all, I bought a x4x4x4x4 4 slots M.2 PCIe card foolishly thinking that if it fits in the slot, it would surely work. In the end, I got 2 of the 4 SSDs working on my old AM4 X470 chipset. I'm coming to you for advice what the cheapest way to get to use this would be. I've noticed that a lot of CPUs have a PCIe lane limitation of 28, just short of what I need (I'd like to run the SSDs but also a x16 GPU). I'm not too keen to buy a threadripper setup for this occasion...

    Cheers!

    HDR Confusion

    Hey fellas, could you help me understand a bit more about HDR?

    • I understand that it's an absolute brightness standard, not like the relative levels in SDR
    • But why does it end up washing out colors unless I amplify them in kwin? Is just the brightness absolute in nits, but not the color?
    • Why does my screen block the brightness control in HDR mode but not contrast? And why does the contrast increase the brightness of highlights, instead of just split midtones towards brighter and darker shades?
    • Why is truehdr400 supposed to be better in dark rooms than peak1000 mode?
    • Why is my average emission capped at 270nits, that seems ridiculously low even for normal SDR screens as comparison.

    Cheers 😊

    Edit: It's a QD OLED
