I disagree, you can see so much on the old layout specifically because it’s a wall of text. The new layout is unnecessarily bloated and takes up your whole screen on every device you view it from, so you can barely see more than one or two posts at a time. It removes the ability for the user to freely scroll and look at things that interest them, and forces the user’s attention onto exactly what the algorithm wants them to. The new layout removes a ton of agency from the user.

Crazy that they wrote an entire article for one guy’s conversation about motor oil. Sounds like a really effective use of resources that is very real and not made up.

That’s generally how it works, yes.

Or it’s the day before March 1.

It’s copyright infringement to do so. No need getting the Beehaw admins in trouble; Google paywall bypassing tools and read away.

Been playing a lot of The Finals lately. Normally my time would be spent in Destiny 2, but the current D2 season is gonna last for a looooong time, so I’m not in any hurry to grind it out just yet. But The Finals has absolutely blown me away so far. It can be buggy and unbalanced at times, but it’s so damn fun. Demolishing an entire building to bury the cashout station in rubble and prevent a steal is so satisfying.

Embark has also recently said that they’ve got a lot of updates in the works, so I’m really excited to see how Season 2 plays out.

Your job is automating electrons, and now some automated electrons are threatening your job.

I have to imagine this is similar to how farmers felt when large-scale machinery became widely available.

Internet Archive likely wouldn’t be able to handle it. They’re already struggling currently, as it is, and dumping a few petabytes of caches of the entire internet onto them probably won’t help.

Not that I give a shit, but I can see you potentially catching some flack for listing the USA as an “authoritarian regime” lmfao

Fuckin’ A.

There is no legal issue

Nintendo is suing

I mean, it’s right there.

Also, you’re thinking of trademark. Might be a good idea to know the difference before calling somebody else’s opinion “hullabaloo”.

While all of that appears to be true, that doesn’t mean Nintendo/TPC aren’t able to make this small studio’s lives a nightmare if they wanted. I have a feeling that the level of scrutiny the studio will be under from now on is going to inhibit any real innovation, as they’re already walking a very fine line as it is.

I’ve got a feeling that the legal issues, even if they’re in the clear, are going to pose a lot of problems for the longevity of the game. But, I’m really hopeful that this sparks inspiration for other devs to take on the monster collecting genre. Pokemon has dominated that space for so long that they practically define the genre at this point, so it’ll be nice to see new monster collectors come out with their own unique styles.

The Dreamcast really was ahead of its time. VMU-linking was honestly a really excellent use of the tech available at the time, and opened the doors for a lot of really interesting ways to play games. Some games even had single-player minigames you could access from the VMU, so you could play while you were away from your console.

If Sega had marketed the Dreamcast better, it could’ve really dominated the gaming scene at the time. It had a lot of features that were way more advanced than its competition. Hell, Sega could’ve possibly still been in the hardware market today if their consoles sold better. Sometimes I wonder what the gaming space would be like today if Sega was still making consoles.

Your house heard about the dark web and thought it needed some light.

I can finally take on General Kenobi.

Fuckin’ A, man.

Goldfish > Swordfish > Megalodon

I think a lot of it was just that his humor was very much of its own time. That sort of early 2010s style of comedy hasn’t aged too well.

Haven’t seen his new stuff, though. Honestly didn’t even know he was still in the comedy scene at all, might have to give it a watch!
