But the entire industry is built around frequent updates and outmoding older models. I had a phone that was no older than 2 Y/O when my cell carrier did some kind of tower update that rendered it completely unusable.
I hate that we’re conditioned to treat these powerful computers like throwaway technology just because a marginally improved model is made available.
My artist friends were actually the ones to introduce me to bluesky! Some of those circles jumped ship pretty early.
that’s the one
I encountered a certain npc with placeholder art without realizing it, and I just thought they were going for a really bold character arc.
Then I saw a second one and it made a lot more sense lmao
That was the first thing I played when I got my deck! My “recently played” at the time was all multiplayer FPS games and other shit that doesn’t play well with controllers. I figured “shit, at least I can get a feel for the device” and then blasted like 8 straight hours of it that first day hahahah
Hades 2, no contest
I bought hades 2 last week and already have almost 30 hours. Those games have the most satisfying difficulty curve. The first time you fight a boss it’s overwhelming and maybe even feels unfair, but smash cut 10 tries later where you’re nailing a no-hit and thinking “hey maybe this boss needs a buff actually”
And the presence of “god mode” means I can recommend it to literally anyone, regardless of how apt they are for ARPGs!
I also struggled to get photoshop up and running on my linux machine, I was even going for cs6 too funnily enough. Purely out of exasperation I ended up trying photogimp, and I haven’t looked back since.
I think the look they’re going for is like, current gen photoshop essentials? I don’t really care, it’s close enough to cs6 that it doesn’t feel like I’ve had to relearn anything.
If GTA 5 came out today it wouldn’t be worth $60. The “big open sandbox” experience isn’t as big a pull as it used to be.
I bought 5 because it was “the next GTA” and I remembered having a good time with 4. Today it’s a little harder to remember the last time i even played a GTA game. 5 released a decade ago, 4 is going on 16 years old, fucken San Andreas turns 20 this year.
The next release is just gonna be GTA Online 2, we all know it already.
Man I’d render at fucken 800x600 if it got me like a solid 50 fps
That one really surprised me, does it have something like a render scale slider? Unless there’s a baked-in way to achieve ultra potato graphics, I just can’t imagine it’s playable.
But shit man, the numbers are right there! There’s gotta be something to it. Maybe people are just putting up with ~20fps averages or some shit.
don’t remind me of better days
As worse and worse win11 features are unveiled it’s so funny to see these posts slowly filled with more “yeah i just switched to linux” comments.
I only recently realized how amazing the controller customization is on the deck. Being able to edit your entire control scheme completely on the fly without even closing the game is a real gamechanger.
I remember fighting with third party tools just to get simple shit like macros or mouse control mapped to a controller. Now I can set up complex doodads like button chords and mode shifts, it feels like the future.

Fucken Rae Dunn, dog. I knew a girl who had two kids straight out of high school and blew her entire income on trendy housewares for the apartment she could barely afford. When I broke contact she was buying halloween variants of serving dishes she had already never used. Last I heard her parents have those kids now.
ayyyy that’s been my go to! sometimes when the normal hosts don’t resolve it’ll start auto-playing russian dubs, it’s so silly.
Fucken William H. Macy is all like “вот что ты пропустил на прошлой неделе в сериале Shameless” and I just lose it.
Mad respect, thanks for sharing!
Cute furries always have the best tech.
God I hadn’t even considered what “voice control only” would mean for public spaces. You’re right, that sounds like a nightmare.
Omfg the comment section lovers are literally a vocal minority, this is kinda silly to see play out.
