Darn, I was just hoping you would. I didn’t see any of the trailers or anything but heard that was the case. Stuff about NPC AI? Did cops used to just spawn in the vicinity of the player?

Honestly I was never really curious about the game until this thread, but I don’t have the requisite foundation to know what needed to be fixed. I’m sure I’ll find out eventually

If you don’t mind, does it now match the advertising? I heard there were trailers with advanced features that were not in the actual game on release.

I’ve preferred Qobuz to Tidal since they were hocking MQA snake oil and lying about being lossless. Tidal eventually stopped using MQA, but I can’t help feel leftover ick at their dishonesty.

You’d pay more money for a something you can do free right now, just in case a hypothetical product in the future does that?

Just thinking, I bet capitalism is ready and willing to provide if there are a lot of likeminded. I expect the current TV manufacturers would make smart TVs internet-only if a dumb TV company succeeded, then undercut that company with slightly cheaper dumb TVs of their own, Amazon style. That’s a win-win for them: they get to charge more for what we have for free currently, and demand more advertisement money since the audience of the cheaper smart TV is now captive. Their profit margin would still be higher than the dumb TV company because they’re already making them, too.

I don’t see a version of events where existing manufacturers lose if this happens. This feels like a road to hell paved with good intentions.

Edit: to be clear I’m very much on your side with “fuck the tv makers and fuck advertising as a whole”. I just truly fail to see how this could be anything but free market research for the existing manufacturers and an acceleration of the enshittification (hey, an accurate use!). I’m quite open to alternative theories.

Fair, but I don’t think we should want to pay a premium for a dumb TV in fear of a hypothetical future. Perhaps worthwhile if it ever happens, but until then buying a subsidized smart TV and keeping it dumb seems fully better to me.

Can you provide an example of one that only works online? I have never heard of that.

Why not purchase one subsidized by ads then just not connect it to the internet? Seems like a win-win

Oh, I have shrimp. Mine are near zero care opae ula; I top off the tank with distilled water occasionally but that’s it. Well, and I have them on a light cycle so the algae grows.

Still, if anyone is interested or feels like shrimp would improve their lives, feel free to respond and I can help set up a new tank. Mine are truly near zero maintenance though so I don’t know if it would be a profound life change like OP’s.

I’ve long been interested in this and dph for the large number of “don’t do it” stories. Same with h, but that one tends to be “don’t do it because it’s so good”.

Don’t think I ever will, but stories like yours always give me a tingle.

He dropped like a thousand of them. He was using it regularly until sometime in the 2010s.

Eminem is weird cause he leans left but will use any word— save for n word and now f— as long as it rhymes or fits the scheme, then does nearly nothing else offensive. It’s like words are exempt from his morality.

Very few reasons to get a Tesla when Lucid exists. I can think of three good ones— price, software reliability, and concerns about the company’s health— but these aren’t enough to overcome the icky feeling of funding Musk and his aspirations for me.

I don’t get why anyone would stay on a site they thought reason wasn’t allowed at.

I’ve been frustrated several times at what I perceive as Lemmy bias that borders extremism, but on the whole it’s perfectly reasonable. Essentially every response to the parent comment agreed with it (I have yet to see someone disagree but perhaps I haven’t scrolled enough).

Lemmy isn’t big enough to feel you need to stay, as Reddit was when comments like this were plentiful.

Hell yeah brother, keep it up. You’ll hit other phenomenal milestones but this one will probably stay most satisfying for a long time

HDMI 2.2 will be released in the first half of this year and be widely available “to all HDMI 2.x adopters.” Your TV and external devices will need to support the specification

Will this solve eARC sync issues on existing devices that support 2.1? Like I could just get a new cable and it would work?

My thinking was it wasn’t enough weight. I’ll watch the video soon and see though, if it works for that guy it should work for me

Yeah, I’ve swapped out most exercises for wrist friendly ones. It’s just, I have to do a lot of decline ring push ups to make up for losing every bench press movement and I fuckin hate those. Sadly they’re the only chest workout we can figure that keep the wrists in a neutral grip.

Slowly, more exercises are returning, but the ones I want back most will be the last to come. This is easily the injury I regret most, I truly hope none of you ever get it.

Right, relevance, posted this here cause it’s hugely affected my workout routine. All bench movements are out and I’ve had to throw in calisthenics. Which is fine, but I’d kill for my wrist to fully recover

Two sentence comments get strawmanned, and since it’s not a work email, nobody has to read it. Manage your time better and skip it, skip this. Why bother with social media if you don’t want to read more than two sentences?

Not to get like, “back in my day about it”, but long comments and casual conversation used to be encouraged. Used to be seen as lazy to drop points for the sake of brevity. Your comments are short and this is the first time you’ve mentioned the actual topic since the og comment— potentially useful discussion is lost in the race to the bottom.

Poor political strategy is asinine. That one has real world effects.

I love this thing. Novel and weird pens are some of my favorites. Shame it writes poorly, could’ve been a good on ramp to fountain pens for people who like weird shit

Yeah I can monologue a bit, but I have found that explaining in full avoids miscommunication and eventually gets a real response. I do get the weak replies that can’t justify their own ideas, but in my entire time on Lemmy, I have always eventually gotten a real explanation. Even this time.

I’d wade through a hundred of yous to get to someone willing to engage in length. It’s always worth it.
