Legacy Nvidia drivers a couple months ago? That was a fun time, lol.

There’s a game dev version they’re working on that I’m kinda hyped for.

I have the jlab version and they’re comfortable enough, but they’re pinching the side of your ear so they do get uncomfortable after a while. I still prefer them to standard earbuds, but I’m also prone to ear infections so…

Keep in mind sound quality probably isn’t quite on par with similar priced earbuds, but they’re great for podcasts. +1 for these being a “glad I bought them” impulse buy.

I started using Bazzite last year and it’s fantastic, but modding seems to be a bit of a headache on it right now. I think Nexus Mod Manager is going to really help that once its got more than Stardew working though.

Is that true everywhere or just in the US? I know that, at least a few years ago, a bunch of banking software in the US was still in COBOL but parts of Western Europe were modernizing their banking industry. I’m probably going back to school for computer science in the fall and had been considering trying to learn COBOL in my free time, or learning more Fortran (I have actually taken a programming class with Fortran, but because it was aimed at beginners it didn’t really go in depth, but I bet it’d look good on certain resumes). It’s looking like my future is in Europe somewhere, so I’m keeping that in the back of my mind while making decisions.

My mom is Jewish and I’d been considering doing one of those DNA tests until that data leak happened, I was glad I hadn’t done it.

The Fallout games you’d expect are in their roadmap, along with Skyrim and a few other Bethesda games, so that’s pretty awesome. I still haven’t played New Vegas even though I have it on Epic because modding is a headache on Linux right now and apparently not exactly optional for NV.

If this was actually a smart watch I’d seriously consider it, but it apparently doesn’t have any way of connecting to a smartphone.

Sometime around 2019-ish they locked them down hard and it’s not possible to jailbreak them and put custom firmware on it, however I’m pretty sure you can still put the play store on it, I’ve side loaded it on my 2021 model but it’s still awful because of Amazon.

Also some of the people who did have those terrible games as kids are probably still nostalgic for them.

My first game console was the Atari 5200 (garage sale, I’m not actually that old). Was it objectively bad? Yeah, probably. But I still want one and I’m still pissed at what happened to the one I had as a kid.

Go out and paint bike lanes, encouraging cycling means less traffic for your van.

Oh he’s the Lego Island guy, I thought he sounded familiar.

I’ve read a fan translation of the script for this one because I was really into the series as a teenager. It’s Ziggy’s backstory. Story-wise it’s very much like the rest of the series and feels like they just fleshed out notes they already made for the other games which is probably what happened.

Off topic, but Crypt of the Necrodancer is on sale right now on Steam and I own a dance mat… do you know how difficult the dance mat mode for the game is? I’m really bad at rhythm games, I still have a lot of fun playing them though.

Welcome to Lemmy, in six months you’ll be running Linux, lol.

Tunnel vision is an actual vision impairment. Blindness isn’t a “can’t see anything at all” thing (although sometimes it is), many blind people can see light and dark or very short distances in front of them, it’s not what popular culture portrays it as.

A friend of mine in college was blind and had macular degeneration - we met through the anime club and back then she was able to still watch anime by moving it to the corner of her remaining peripheral vision. She pretty effectively ended the dub vs sub argument, dubs were an accessibility thing, lol. The group was big into gaming and played a lot of Rock Band, but she was unfortunately usually left out, we sometimes talked her into singing for a few songs she knew well though.

Last I heard there’s still some problems with it and I’m guessing they won’t be resolved soon, like how does moderation work if the reportee is on an instance that’s defederated with yours but not the community instance?

Your options are either to create an alt to mod (or just move to the other instance) or to start the community on your home instance.

MASH is one of the best TV shows ever made and that has a laugh track through most of it, although I’ve heard it aired in Europe without it and was mostly better for it, but that is the show that first started challenging the need for a laugh track in the first place and successfully ditched it when they went harder into dramedy.
