Nah, the last time i used insta was when it was mostly known for its infamous lomography filters. While this edit is intentionally horrible it proofs a point though. A subtle shift in the whitepoint to the warmer side and a few clicks to reduce the slight green tint in the potatoes would help wonders. Almost looks like flourescent light or photographed with a flash light. Either case wouldnt be ideal.

Anyway, i'm well aware of how hard it is to take good pics of food. I wouldnt have made that rather blunt and maybe hurtful comment if it was only about the presentation. Its mostly just a culture shock thing, i guess.

But enough of me and my "feelings". If i ever comment or post again i will provide pics/recipes.

Same. Blocked .ml, blocked so many sublemmies, blocked certain topics and names and just a few users. With that its a pretty sweet experience. But when i visit logged out for one reason or another it gets ugly really fast.

Sometimes i get FOMO because a lot of .ml users post in a topic which i just cant see. But i made the mistake to unblock .ml twice and regretted it just in a few hours.

Most emulators for android work perfectly atleast if you have a regular bluetooth controller. On my Pico i cant map the motion controllers in android apps but the Xbox controller connects and works just fine.

good resource: https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Emulators_on_Android

Theres also WinlatorXR for Windwos games. But its just too much of a hassle to setup everything for my taste. But it does work. I think just recently the fork Winlatorxr-Cmod got released which can be beneficial in certain aspects. But idk the XR2 Gen1 in my Pico4 is too slow either way for the interesting games to emulate.

A bit Pico centric but most stuff should be easily applicable on the quests with a few adjustments too.

I'm mostly using Ironfox and Fennec to have two seperate Firefox based browsers. One for watching videos while i browse on the other. Tubular for Youtube is also pretty good since the youtube webpage is soo fucking heavy that the fan gets annoyingly loud.

Duckstation with retroachievements for PS1 emulation is my jam when it comes to emulation. PPSSPP is also pretty sweet but it just doesnt scratch my itch like PS1 games do. idk

Never went back to reddit. But i get it. My current blocklist on lemmy is longer than it ever was after 10 years of reddit. The relative amount of weird stuff on here is too damn high for a normie.

That poster a few weeks ago who said hes gonna block this community lives rentfree in my head. Because i get him. Nearly everytime i see a picture of this community posted in my feed it just absolutly disgusts me. Holy moly. It dont even know why? Its not high cuisine, but who cares? I'm sure its perfectly fine tasting self cooked food.
But something about it just breaks me.

Anyway. Keep it up. This is a nice little community and i could just post my own stuff if really cared. Feel free to delete this comment. But damn, i couldnt stay silent or just ignore it any longer. My poor european tastes are struggling to keep it together with these meals.

Game Sack tested the 3rd gen Everdrive and everything worked when he downgraded the firmware. 1st gen Everdrive didnt work though.

and the whole website is pressed against the left side which would be alright if we would still use 19" 4:3 CRTs at max.

Had my money on a 2027 release for the PC after the first trailer dropped in late 2023. Looks like i wasnt pessimistic enough even though i accounted for a console exclusive year and a rather big delay. Maybe by 2028 the AI bubble will have popped and GPUs are affordable again.

Most of the responses of the ministers(?) covered in the article seem to be pretty solid.

But then:

Responding to the arguments, the government’s representative, minister for sport, tourism, civil society and youth, Stephanie Peacock MP, acknowledged consumer sentiment behind Stop Killing Games, but suggested there were no plans to amend UK law around the issue.

“The Government recognises the strength of feeling behind the campaign that led to the debate,” she said. “The petition attracted nearly 190,000 signatures. Similar campaigns, including a European Citizens’ Initiative, reached over a million signatures. There has been significant interest across the world.”

She continued: “At the same time, the Government also recognises the concerns from the video gaming industry about some of the campaign’s asks. Online video games are often dynamic, interactive services—not static products—and maintaining online services requires substantial investment over years or even decades.”

Peacock claimed that because modern video games were complex to develop and maintain, implementing plans for games after support had ended could be “extremely challenging” for companies and risk creating “harmful unintended consequences” for players.

Handing online servers over to consumers could carry commercial or legal risks, she said, in addition to safety concerns due to the removal of official company moderation.

On the subject of ownership, Peacock claimed that video games being licensed to consumers, rather than sold, was not a new phenomenon, and that “in the 1980s, tearing the wrapping on a box to a games cartridge was the way that gamers agreed to licensing terms.”

“Licensing video games is not, as some have suggested, a new and unfair business practice,” she claimed.

Yeah, full on corpo spin. Fuck her.

It already rubbed me the wrong way how soon they sunsetted support for GCN cards. Especially since they introduced Vega 8(?) products in APUs till 2021 or something like that? Which means it should atleast still get support for another 2 years from here on now. Instead support ended years ago.

But at the time i could kinda see how they wanted to focus on RDNA. Still shitty but there was atleast some resemblence of a technical reason there. But now trying to stop support for RDNA because of the focus on RDNA is just fucking laughable.

 

I played through that game the first time just a year ago. So there isnt even some nostalgia involved with this track. But damn does it slap. Its just brutal.
