Remind me how we have gotten to the point in collectibles, that we’re now paying money to have rare collectible items that have zero resale value due to the fact that you can’t sell them third party.

Like this is insane to me, because I was under the understanding that was primary point of collectibles, to obtain a card that’s super rare in value, but since these are digital cards and their value is zero it’s just spending money without possibility of a future return

Effort free gaming on Windows

I’ll acknowledge that gaming is much better than when I entered the field 20 years ago,

but it was so nice being able to just install a game and have it function instead of install a game and play the 50/50 gamble of whether or not it’s going to have some bug that forces me to go online and search the issue.

Proton DB has been a lifesaver for most issues that have occurred, but there are still so many games that have obscure problems that while not all of them prevent you from playing at all, a good portion of them have issues with them that dampen the gaming experience.

And as a bonus one, the lack of a decent Android emulator. I have tried so many different emulators for Android, and all of them work notoriously worse than BlueStacks did on Windows and a lot of times take up double the space it did. As a person who plays a lot of mobile games that require constant looking at, it was so much easier to just have it running in BlueStacks on the third monitor and then just look at it when needed

oh yea i didn’t notice that, yea that would be it for sure

Any simulation game usually.

I was playing bakery sim the other day, before I knew it 6 hours had passed.

I have to say, PC version of Game Pass is far more cheaper than their console edition, so it’s can be worth it for sure. But I definitely agree you need to game a lot for it to do so,

I had PC game pass as part of my game pass ultimate to your subscription that I got with my Series X, and honestly despite their diverse catalog that they had, I found most of the games that they offered I either already had because they had gone on sales or already given for free through other services(epic or Humble choice usually), or just didn’t interest me.

I love how many Indie style games that they would but, it was very rarely that they actually offered a game that was interesting despite the fact that they cycle through their content constantly. And their AAA titles, at least at that time not sure if it still is the case was definitely lacking in the availability department. It was very clear that the primary focus point of Game Pass was Indie style titles over the primary Studios, but I never really wanted to play them due to the fact that since they’re cycled out so frequently I would start a game and then two or three weeks later I would get a message saying this game is leaving Game Pass.

Plus it also was hard for me to swallow spending $240 for a subscription to Ultimate yearly(or whatever the pc gamepass sub price is yearly) , and then having nothing to show for it when that subscription ran out because you lose access to all the games. I would much rather spend that money on actual games and then not lose access to it when it’s done.

Honestly, I found Humble Choice being a good alternative to paying that sub, roughly 120-140 a year, and you get 8 titles a month that’s yours to keep

I was meaning offering it to the table at a discount, yeah if it’s already been eaten from it should not be given to another table, if it hadn’t been eaten from then that’s a little different but yet definitely if it’s been eaten from no way.

It all depends to be honest I’m paying money for the food and I want the food to be done correctly. I receive a burger and it’s ice cold in the center or the fries aren’t done I’ll send it back, however if it’s just cold because it’s been clear that it sat out for a little bit or they put the wrong ingredients on it I’ll suck it up and eat.

Being said, If I receive something that I didn’t order in replacement of something I did order I’m going to mention it. If the restaurant decides to throw it out that’s not me wasting food that’s the restaurant wasting food they could very easily have offered to give it any discount or gave it away. I refuse to have the blame of the kitchen be put on the consumer, the food wouldn’t have been wasted in the first place if the order was correct and there are many outcomes that the business can do that would prevent the food from being wasted before and after its cooked.

I think it’s hitting on with the fact that Americans are super impatient with anything and when they go to a restaurant they sit down they eat and then they leave there’s no big wait period of socializing(usually), it also could be because it’s frowned upon because we don’t pay the waiters livable wages here, so for every minute that we’re still sitting and not ordering anything we’re taking money out of the Waiters pocket.

That’s how ass backwards the US. But no the Tipping structure is apparently a better system lmao

Yes I do I won’t even make it a few hours most times before jumping to a new game

I haven’t seen this but recently I have seen a buttload of videos that have corny AI voiceovers. Like I came across 3 tonight alone just looking for videos on massive failures in machinery. I don’t get why they are used, the corny jokes absolutely kill any immersion and enjoyment. I started disliking them to hopefully get them out of my feeds

I think they have it labeled that way, because he plans on appealing, so it’s possible that the verdict isn’t final. But yeah generally once you’ve been given a conviction the terminology changes

yeaaaa no thanks. They are about 2 or 3 generations too late for that. After what they have tried to pull with the ps5, plus the price point and the fact that it would be a worse more restricted system than the steam deck. I’ll keep my deck where I get an overall better experience + no monthly sub fee.

my clipboard is empty, and apperently it’s been long enough on mobile that my clipboard history is empty as well lmao

this is my main reason I have not upgraded. Less PCIE slots than my system uses currently so I’de have to downgrade

To my knowledge they don’t though, Chrome has had the overall market share for years. Most of the time the mozilla project is tailing behind Chrome, because anything that they add to Chrome if the other browsers didn’t follow suit they were left in the dust. I haven’t seen the Mozilla project as a Trailblazer in years

Full disclosure, I looked at the first like five or 6 posts your profile to verify if you were a troll or not, and I came across something alarming.

You have multiple posts asking about how to run your own instance and basic things of how it functions. I really hope your instance is private because the ideology that you put in this post is so hostile that I would feel bad for your instance users.

Disregarding the fact that the chances that someone would forget to update their post versus that being the price listed is fairly low, your entire statement on wasting time is so hypocritical that it made me do a double take.

If the seller wasn’t going to give accurate information they wouldn’t have added the information in the first place.

But honestly that’s a moot point, the more alarming thing is if you have this type of ideology for a simple disagreement on the internet, then you’re going to be super aggressive towards anyone who’s going to reach out to you for help. And the fact that you own a community that’s literally called ask Lemmy that’s meant to be a carryover for when the other community doesn’t work this doesn’t look good.

I’m not looking to have a response from you so don’t worry about it, and I’m not saying this as an insult to you. I’m just saying how it looks to a random person who looked into it.

my fav one recently has been ftb: skies, but that’s a skyblock , I’m going to try the decursio project soon though, it’s supposed to be an rlcraft/sevtech style mod pack, so I’m excited for it , I just haven’t have free time to play it yet.

Getting any degree at University is the same way, bachelor’s is the first level that requires an actual internship in order to go anywhere, it is gone to the point where internship listings are starting to put in their job listing “prior internship experience preferred”

So like the job that is meant to give you the skills to start out is wanting an additional internship prior to being hired. This country is going to hell lmao

They’ll never do it, they want to be too Center for that, it’s the party of mildism, they are stuck in the ideology of maybe if I tippy toe further torwards republican values we’ll gain more republican votes, ignoring the fact that they are leaving their more stronger base behind in the process. It’s getting to the point where even more moderate Democrats are starting to question their vote, and ofc extremists have questioned their vote for awhile now.

I would be amazed if the current democratic party was capable of doing anything more severe then maybe just increasing the requirements for background checks.
