Why should a TV ever need updates? Does anyone still make good “dumb” TVs that don’t want/need an internet connection?

I like the cut of your jib.

I start a playthrough of the Quest for Glory series at least once a year - always with the ill-fated goal of playing through the entire series in order with one character. This is because you can actually save your character and import it into the next game and the correct way to play a paladin requires playing the first two games just right. I’ve never played the final game because it came out much later than the first four…

Someday!

Can’t be bothered to double-check cuz I really don’t care

For FUCK SAKE, why do you even bother posting your garbage opinions then? and with such authority too!

I still have one of my Lumias in a drawer. I loved that phone and the UI!

And Solarized sucks ass. There, I said it.

Hard agree.

I’ve always been kind of curious: am I weird because I prefer light mode for web pages with a lot of text to read? Or is it more of an age-gated thing, like older people who grew up reading printed texts only prefer what’s familiar to them? I’m fine with YouTube (for example) having a black background and dark theme, but I even browse Lemmy via old.lemmy.world in light mode!

Another day, another reason to be glad I live in Massachusetts!

If you throw away perfectly fine physical copies, you are just contributing to the ever-increasing plastic waste poisoning our ecosystems, and if you sell them then your digital copies are now illegal. Just put them in a disc binder and stick 'em in a closet for fuck sake!

Awesome post. As a former IT person who has worn many other hats over the years, I couldn’t agree with you more.

I agree with your analysis, and only differ in that I do pay for YouTube Premium because I get a TON of use out of YouTube music - you really can’t beat their library of obscure and live music!

I was so excited when I stumbled across the Enhanced Edition on Steam! (I hadn’t played it since it was first released, and had lost the original disc)

In no particular order:

• Hero’s Quest (from Sierra On-line)
• Valheim
• Fallout: New Vegas
• Skyrim
• No Man’s Sky
• City of Heroes (can you believe it’s legally back?!?)
• Red Dead Redemption II
• Planescape: Torment
• Stardew Valley
• Starfield

(I’m sure that last one will raise some eyebrows, but I’ve already got over 1k hours in it since launch. For all its faults, it scratches some itch of mine just right.)

Ugh!

The worst part is, after wasting a bunch of time tracking down the correct Discord server to ask a question about a piece of software, you generally get lambasted by the “regulars” of that server to “just use the search feature, that’s what it’s for!”

Yeah, no. I don’t want to wade through a reverse chronology of a bunch of conflicting back-and-forth conversations - just gimme a FAQ or some actual documentation!!!

I’m still so bummed about EVGA leaving the graphics card market! My 2070 super still runs fine, thankfully, but it’s getting a bit long in the tooth.

… with it on any loving object

Come again?

Same here. I know we’re pariahs for admitting something so obvious, but sometimes the easiest way to get good service is to actually pay for it. Youtube Music alone is worth the monthly sub, since it is VASTLY superior to Spotify.

These days, I’m a residential carpenter in New England - I’d imagine it would be very easy to talk about my trade to people from the 1700s, and I’m sure the builders of that time would be fascinated by the power tools we have now.
