I don’t know if I’ve seen split opinions on Naughty Dog Crash games. It’s pretty much always been praised. Post Naughty Dog is a different story as well.

I think I like the author’s point of comparing the nostalgia most gamers feel for series like Crash Bandicoot compared to the nostalgia that modern day viral games will bring Zoomers and Gen Alpha but I also can’t help but be deeply offended by it.

The US should ban Amazon

Archive storage is relatively cheap. It’s the bandwidth and compute required to serve video that is expensive

If devs want to make an alternative to CoD, they need to make a fun single player FPS first and make a small but fun multiplayer component.

The problem is that publishers see the dollar signs from CoD and Fortnite and want to make a MP scam game without realizing that gamers only want to be scammed by Fortnite and CoD because they were actually fun before they became a scam.

In my main league which is just 8 team, 4 make the playoffs. Need a win to clinch #1 seed at 10-3.

It’s a keeper auction league with the ability to trade budget so the end of the season tends to result in the 4 that make it into super teams.

My core consists of Hurts, Kyren, Kamara, Bucky, Kittle, Chase and Amon-Ra.

Some other cores include Herbert, Saquon, Conner, Jacobs, Bowers, Ladd and Adams

Burrow, Achane, Gibbs, Montgomery, Jonny, Pickens, Evans

Allen, Taylor, Cook, Tracy, Kelce, Brown, Collins

It’s up to the Fantasy Gods at this point.

Nothing is wrong with it as long as everyone realizes that it isn’t really resistant to enshittification as the network stands now and isn’t meaningfully federated or decentralized yet

Revoke my license then Sony, if you can’t then I don’t care about stupid unenforceable clauses in EULAs.

There should never be any sort of EULA needed to access software that isn’t networked. Requiring an agreement to an Acceptable Use Policy is reasonable and violation of those terms resulting in a network ban is reasonable. Otherwise software usage rights should be unlimited and you can prove I caused damage via copyright infringement or prosecute me via CFAA.

To be fair I don’t talk about Reddit/Lemmy front ends with anyone except in meta discussions as well.

I used Apollo/use Voyager as well, my experience in the early days after the API migration on the voyager community was that most people used the compact view and card view was more for iPad usage

Without seeing actual statistics, both accounts are anecdotal. But it’s my experience that I have had a lot less interaction of people who prefer new Reddit and a lot more with people who prefer old Reddit. Many Lemmy instances host old Reddit inspired front ends. I’m not aware of a single front end for Lemmy that strives to emulate new Reddit

Something I hadn’t considered to possibly be generational. When I was on Reddit, it was always old Reddit. I can’t imagine anyone using card view, I thought maybe that existed for iPads or devices with large screens.

I also don’t see appeal in instagram or TikTok like the author though as well.

I don’t necessarily get the consideration of “decision fatigue”. If you chose not to decide you still have made a choice. The choice then of allowing the app to just show you whatever can’t really be put on decision fatigue in my opinion.

My experience playing Call of Duty: United Offensive. The community was so much better than online games today. Some times if I wasn’t in to it we’d just chat via text chat. Felt like an extended lan party almost

Come to think of it, all the USB C cables I have are from phone and device chargers so I just took it for granted. Good to know. Thanks for sharing some knowledge with me

 

It’s the fantasy playoffs. It’s time for win now mode and to work the wire accordingly. In this thread we name a player to claim off waivers and can start in the playoffs, name a player to cut (no kickers or defenses please), and a player to stash (we kind of are running out of time here folks)

 

For most of us, it’s the last week of the regular season. Hopefully you’ve clinched. Otherwise the cards are all on the table to get in.

Commanders and Cards are on Bye. Eagles and Cowboys play tonight. Two games tomorrow, titans at Dolphins and Packers at Giants.

Good luck to all your playoff hopes, leave your comments on today’s action below!

[Zelda II]I did it! (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by TORFdot0 to c/retrogaming
 

I’ve been determined to finally beat Zelda II and determine that I would do it without save states and without a guide.

I know Zelda II is considered a black sheep somewhat but I really think in some ways it’s more fun than the original although I’d still pick Zelda 1 over II.

[GameDay Thread] NFL Week 13 (self.fantasyfootball)
 

Just a week or two left in the fantasy football season. DK Metcalf owners are happy so far (if they didn’t leave him on the bench after that thanksgiving dud!)

Some weather in a few games. Rain in NE and snow in GB as the chiefs take on the Packers tonight.

Tomorrow night the Bengals take on the Jags. Good Luck to everyone, hope you clinch the playoffs tonight!

Add, Stash, Cut Week 13 (self.fantasyfootball)
submitted 1 year ago by TORFdot0 to c/fantasyfootball
 

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday. We are down to only a week or two left of waivers before the playoffs. In this thread list a player you are hoping to get on waivers, a player you would stash when waivers clear, and a player cut.

 

We have a MacBook Air 2013 that is on its last legs and we need to replace it. My wife also wants an iPad so that she can read our Apple News+ subscription and watch movies in bed. I feel like the most cost effective solution is to get a keyboard case for the iPad and use it as the laptop replacement. The only thing we use the MacBook Air for is normal web browsing, ordering pictures prints via the web, some home office work using Google Docs, and I use it to remote to my PC when I don't feel like going to my basement office.

I don't see why a keyboard case wouldn't suffice in this scenario. The Magic Keyboard trackpad entices me, especially potentially not having to rewire any muscle memory with normal web usage, using google docs, or when I remote to my PC. But is the web browsing experience nerfed enough by iPadOS that its not worth spending $300 on the Magic Keyboard? Is it better to get the cheaper Smart Keyboard Folio case and try to use the Apple Pencil for the same workflow instead?

Just curious what this community's experience with these accessories are. Thanks in advance for the input.
