It’s been in development since before we even knew about the official remaster. From what I’ve seen it’s more of a remake, with layout changes to cities, new locations and quests, among other things. Meanwhile the official remaster is mostly just oblivion with more modern graphics and adjustments to the leveling system.

Cardcaptor Sakura is wonderful, I also recommend Sailor Moon. I’ve seen recommendations for Nichijou and I agree with that one, it’s primarily comedy without a ton as far as plot goes.

Buy extra firm tofu, and press it to remove excess liquid and you’ll be fine. I just put a cutting board down, then some paper towels under and on top of the tofu to absorb the liquid, and put another cutting board with some of my old textbooks on top. Leave it for 30 minutes or so. It might break apart in a crock pot, but it will still absorb the flavors and taste good.

I recently played Crow Country, an indie horror game very inspired by the look of old ps1 era Resident evil and Silent Hill. It’s short, but I love how while the environments are fully 3D, they give that prerendered background look. You investigate a shut down theme park called crow country, looking for the man who owns the place. The narrative is pretty interesting but not anything groundbreaking.

Not everyone finds realism in games as the desired end goal of videogame graphics, and historically stylized graphics age better.

Not Amazon, their store is small potatoes for them. Their real money maker is amazon web services.

Is that the case though? When I have DM’d there’s often a difference between the intended difficulty of an encounter I create versus how it actually works out in play. Chalk that down to inexperience I guess, but a nudge in the direction of what the intended experience was I’ve found helpful, especially when the focus on the campaign is narrative. It can mitigate frustration that arises in situations that aren’t supposed to be difficult, and prevent boss encounters from being underwhelming when your players do a lot more damage than you anticipate.

I don’t necessarily desire a revolution or civil war, But if you want to make claims about the voting status of Lemmy users, you can’t just pull that one out of your ass, my dude. This platform is definitely left leaning, and it’s definitely comprised of a lot of geeks. I would question, do you think that the Holocaust could have been stopped without the use of force? If someone broke into your home and threatened your life, do you think that the appropriate response would be to let them do whatever they want? Most people in that situation would call the police, which is a form of violence.

Violence is very often the answer chosen by our state, whether that be ICE’s ongoing rounding up of minorities to throw them in camps, or the bombing of schools in Iran, or the funding of an ongoing genocide in Gaza. Police in the US repeatedly murder racial minorities. George Floyd, Sonia Massey, Breonna Taylor. Homeless people, the most vulnerable of us, are regularly forced to move via violence or are incarcerated. Which leaves them in a systemic loop of violence that makes it difficult to ever recover. The progress made in this country was never made without violence, the civil rights movement was filled with it. When you claim that it’s unacceptable for regular people to ever resort to violence, you legitimise the state’s monopoly on it as a method. Very few of us, including those on lemmy, desire a civil war, and violence as a method of creating change is not without it’s merits, nor does it mean we have a civil war. Voting can only go so far in a rigged political system, and it is important to remember that we learned how to deal with fascism during WW2.

I’ve seen 11 in use by many people in my personal life and by many businesses. I go to many businesses for work, and whenever I see a computer, it’s pretty much all 11. Home computing is mostly smartphones and tablets these days, so businesses and schools are going to be most of the numbers realistically.

I find it interesting that you’re just blaming Americans in general rather than specifically the people doing this. Acting as if there’s been no efforts from the people here to stop what’s happening, as if there’s been no effort from people showing up and voting, or protesting on the streets, or working within our state to try and shut down Trump’s horseshit every single day. No, it seems that people think that if we aren’t throwing our lives away in a hopeless civil war against the most heavily funded and powerful military on the planet, that this is our fault. Are you under the impression that our elections are fair? There’s immense amounts of effort and money being spent by republicans to make it as hard as possible for people that aren’t white, able bodied conservatives to vote. Paired with our electoral college system, paired with our two party first past the post voting system, your average people have minimal control over the outcome of elections here. Americans are suffering and dying under this administration too. Many of them have always been suffering under our government since it’s inception, because the needs and desires of the people are not considered or desired here. Fuck dude. Just blame the fascists doing this shit, not the people who are struggling against it.

I get your enthusiasm and I remember it being convenient back when I used it. Google, however, is not worth giving your money to. I highly recommend ditching music streaming and purchasing your music to support the artists you listen to.

That’s a separate issue from what I’m having. It only doesn’t work on my verizon cell service. Unfortunately it makes stoat not an option for me.

Yeah, I get “address not found” regardless of browser. I’ll probably be keeping a closer eye on fluxer.

Stoat, both its app and website refuse to open on my mobile data. I doubt it’s only happening to me. Teamspeak at least lets people host and have control of their own servers.

Another point, I am against purchasing the switch 2, as I am any new device using rechargeable lithium ion batteries. A large amount of the supply chain is mined via slave labor in Congo, and there’s not a good way to determine if it was or wasn’t. Better to use the device you already have.

I see where you’re coming from, but I think this attitude is rather shortsighted. Emulation is about much more than piracy, and I for example, run my switch library on my pc. I have my switch, and it’s essentially a game dumping device because I have such a better experience running those games on an emulator. Why should I spend money on another switch or a switch 2 to still have a worse experience than I’m getting now? Modding my games is easy, I can use and rebind any controller I want, and run most of my games without having to swap to another device. I also care about the long term preservation of my games, and unfortunately my switch won’t last forever, it’s already in rough shape as is. As far as switch 2, work on emulation now is going to make the preservation of their games long term possible. Emulating switch 2 doesn’t mean you don’t own one, or purchase your games, not by default. Ultimately though, even if someone pirates their games for switch 2, Nintendo is fine monetarily. They’ll be okay.

As a hobby, go in without expectations. Share the games you like, talk about things you find interesting. As a small streamer you won’t get a lot of viewership right away, but don’t worry about it. As long as you’re having fun that’s what matters.

Are you saying they aren’t?

They’re complying in advance of government demands, as these kinds of age verification laws are becoming more common. Even if their intent is to protect children from child predators, I can’t help but wonder how this is supposed to help in any way. There are workarounds for these kinds of age verification measures, such as using photos of others, AI generated faces, etc. If kids find themselves unable to work around the age verification, how likely do you think it is that they pursue other, potentially much less safe, social media platforms? How likely is it that a kid that swaps to a shadier alternative is going to discuss their experiences with their parents/guardians? All I see this doing is causing kids to move to worse regulated platforms where they will be less safe from exposure to predators, meanwhile the adults who do actually go through the age verification are having their privacy compromised. I don’t believe that this move actually has anything to do with the safety of children, and rather has much more to do with tying your legal identity to your online identity. The only actual solution, and I really do mean this, is for parents to be involved in their kid’s online lives.
