No one's worse than Hewlitt Packard

And that isn't even getting into their drivers and software. Foolish me bought a printer with a scanner and thought I'd be able to just install one little piece of software and be able to print and scan. How silly of me to forget that I to search Google to find instructions that weren't provided by HP, and download an application that the printer's instructions did not tell me to install, in order to get the it working.

I almost want this printer to die just so I can never own an HP printer again in my life.

Twitter, despite Elon's best efforts, is not dead yet 😆

Yeah, I think that's because reddit just has the hugest communities for individual games and niche interests. There are some lemmy communities for some of the games I follow but there are like seven users in each of them. Lemmy is getting really good for broader topics like "games" or "technology" but isn't quite there yet for more narrow interests like "Dolphin emulator" for example.

My understanding is it gets the counts of dislikes from participating content creatos (the dislike count is still there, it's just hidden except to the video authors) and for non-participating creators it uses data from the users with the extension. I think it applies some smart logic to predict the dislikes based on user feedback in that case, which may not be 100% accurate, but is likely at least somewhat close.

Yesssss. Youtube shorts are fine except that it won't let you navigate them like a normal video. I don't understand why they don't wanna have consistant layout between shorts and videos. It's like a separate site

I think it would be a little sad to see Sonya and Jax miss out, bit that's looking likely. Jax, it appears will be DLC at least.

The character that I'm looking forward to the most is Ashrah. I always thought her design was pretty cool with the elegant white robes and hat, and the kriss blade. And her lore, being a reformed demon who now hunts down demons trying to purify her soul, it has some good potential. The Armageddon bios hinted at a rivalry between her and Nitara, and it would be interesting to actually see something come from that one day.

MK Deception had a mixed bag as far as newcomers go, and I think Ashrah was one of tnem that was underrated.

Ah, now it makes even more sense why they released together.

I didn't know anything about it, and I still pretty much don't know anything about it. In my super hazy interpretation, it sounds like it pretty much means there are a bunch of spaces that work standalone but it's possible to access one from another without having to sign up or anything to the other. Or something. I'll probably look into it someday but for now I'm just happy to have it.

I do. Lemmy is great for general purpose stuff, so far the best alternative I've found as far as the crossroads between layout and community involvement. However I follow a lot of fandoms and more specific communities, and those just aren't there yet. I'm trying to start contributing here to encourage it, but the communities for those are still for the most part on reddit.

Honestly most people who use emulation probably own a copy of the games they emulate. It actually is possible to legally obtain a ROM or iso of a Nintendo game, despite how bad Nintendo wants you to believe it isn't. You are allowed to back up software that you purchased. Do most people do it the legal way? Probably not. But effectively I think it's all the same.

Wanna make money off your old games? Release an upgraded version. Put in the content that was left on the cutting room floor and up the resolution. Or just sell it as an emulator pack with the bare minimum requirements for it to function on the console like they did with 3D all Stars. People will probably still buy it.
