Might be true. But also might be the result of the complete catastrophy of the current fascist us government.

Good

My dear lemmings. Remember there were exactly two reputable Switch emulators. Yuzu and Ryujinx. Both got shut down by the big N in one way or another. I’m sorry but everything since then was based on the work of the prior mentionend projects without major improvements but was filled with shitty drama. Wait it out. Thats my take. There might be a real alternative on the horizon. But so far all of them just burned out in the stupidestest way possible.

Who gives a shit. It isnt '15 or '16 anymore. We all know it for a decade now. He’s a moron. We know. Could we focus on the fact that the fucking US is turning into a fascist state?

Ha, when reading the headline i thought GCN would get some upgrade in the Linux driver or something. But not a possible FSR4 compatibility with 2 year old cards to make the imagequality less worse.

The first thing i noticed is the awful amount of TAA/Upscaling artefacting. Apart from that it looks good i guess. I mean its GTA. It will probably be an enjoyable game. But still: Fuck Rockstar. Fuck Take2.

If it gets announced or released: Cool.

But until then all those leakers, dataminers, third class publications, youtubers and everybody else who profits from the attention these leaks naturally drive can fuck right off. The current Valve leaks news cycle is so fucking annoying. Be it Deckard, Deck, HL, whatever else.

Apart from that i was pissed at Valve for the cliffhanger at end of EP2 with no follow up. But that was 15 years ago. Seriously its been over 10 years since i decided that i just stop care about this franchise. Still played Black Mesa when it finally hit 1.0. That was nice a throwback. But HL3? I just dont care anymore. Might check it out if it ever gets released or i dont. idk

Well, but they involve themselves with mods quite a bit: https://www.beamng.com/resources/

Because Beamng runs their own mod repository which is even accessible ingame. This isnt about some random mod hosted on a randrom 3rd party site. This mod was released and distributed over servers and a services which Beamng as a company runs themselves. So reading a whole ass month after the incident my system and my passwords were potentially compromised fucking sucks. I’m not blaming them that the mod got uploaded. I’m blaming them that they made no attempts to publicly communicate: “yo, a mod containing malware got uploaded to our service and 3000 users downloaded it before we got informed that it was infected. If you happen to have downloaded the mod in x timeframe your system was likely compromised. Sorry yadda yadda”

I had the mod installed in the timeframe were it had the malware. Fuck me.

But what really pisses me off is that i read about it first here on lemmy. Not on the Beamng forums/repository, not in the game, not in the steam announcments of the game. Like you distributed malware over your platform and the policy of you fucks is just to stay silent? Meh.

no need to get personal.

and thats why you fold over the end. with that you also realize you’ve become old and like your dad. but thats life i guess.

Nope.

Atleast from my perspective there isnt any hope left for the ‘big picture’. Everything is just utterly fucked. Nothing left to do but to live your best life. For me it still involves living by my ideals. Just for my sanity and because it feels right. But tbh were just fucked and i try not to think about the implication of the future anymore.

I was always a pessimist tbh. But jfc even with that in mind its all so fucked up rn.

As an european i feel flattered with that assesment. But that would be really bad handling of IT-security. I truly never want to get hold of the ‘recycled’ phone of high ranking politician.

holy moly, look how fucking crisp that old ass meme is. no dschiffpegg artifacts whatsoever. my eyeballs cut themself on the sharpness of the pixels.

anyway heres some goobicii: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLQQW-On0uY

I always enjoyed browsing ‘new’. Both here and on that other site you might know of. Personally i dont like the bots here. They just clutter the timeline IMHO. I visit ‘social media’ for a feed which is pre-curated by humans. I’d rather use RSS if i wanted a constant stream of news articles without curation by others. The problem i see on lemmy is that in rare cases the bot posts still get user engagement which i miss out on if i just outright filter the bots out.

Its nothing i lose sleep over and the situation as is… is alright i guess. But if i had anything to say and had a choice i would outright ban them. But tbh i didnt think through the consquences.

heres the video of the creator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSBNs3TeINc

I’d say its mostly sample size. Lemmy is still small. The ever so slightly off feeling interactions have a higher chance of getting noticed because they dont get buried under hundreds or even thousands of other posts most of the time. So its pretty easy to come across discussion threads which werent upvoted by the hivemind for beeing ‘normal’.

Hmm, in my experience there are lots of people in the emulation community who just enjoy to get things to work. So the fun comes from building up the romsets, setup the hardware, setup the emulator, test if the games are working, dial in the config for edge cases, maybe layer on a crt-shader, package everything behind a frontend, etc.

They rarely play through an entire game and instead just test out one of the thousands of roms they showed on to their handheld for a few minutes.

Yes, i’m talking also about myself. But after 10 years in the ‘hobby’ this seems to be pretty common.
