I had GPM for years, and dealt with YTM for about a year before getting sick of it. Spotify isn’t bad, and a lot of alternatives the comments mention I’m sure are good as well. Honestly though, I ended up just archiving all my music in a Jellyfin server and paying $5 for the Symfonium app. It’s pretty nice.

I literally thought the correction in my head while in the theater. It took some restraint to not mention anything to my partner lol

I just finished watching the debate myself, I don’t know if she dodged more than once, she certainly didn’t do as much dodging as he did. But she 100% dodged answering why the Biden administration hasn’t removed Trump-era tariffs without even a hint of addressing it. I’m not a big fan of what that entails, I think globalization in US economy might be coming to a screeching halt no matter who gets elected.

Do you have a source for Search Generative Experience using a separate model? As far as I’m aware, all of Google’s AI services are powered by the Gemini LLM.

I feel you man lmao

The last I had heard of this were articles months in saying it was still not fixed, but this doesn’t invalidate my point. It may have been retrained to respond otherwise, but it spouts garbled inputs.

Generative AI does not work like this. They’re not like humans at all, it will regurgitate whatever input it receives, like how Google can’t stop Gemini from telling people to put glue in their pizza. If it really worked like that, there wouldn’t be these broad and extensive policies within tech companies about using it with company sensitive data like protection compliances. The day that a health insurance company manager says, “sure, you can feed Chat-GPT medical data” is the day I trust genAI.

I mean, that just comes from lacking a multiple “you” conjugation. Just another reason English is terrible

I swear the discord kitten stuff was just a meme and some degenerates thought it was a good idea

Trump: I’m rubber, and you’re glue, and the things you say bounce off of me because ALL YOUR TEMPERAMENTS ARE TRASH AND I’M THE ONLY ONE THAT’S CALM!!!
Lester: Mr. Trump, your head is now literally a giant red steam whistle.
Trump: … My microphone isn’t working.

What can I say, he’s smarter than the a-ver-age медведь!

Right, and even if they were exceptions, the operative word was expect. It can happen but it’s not a guarantee.

It’s a great game and it was groundbreaking in the indie space, but you can’t just live off the one game forever. Imagine if Toby Fox did that with Undertale. And then complained about not having money.

Honestly just in general BotW was so amazing when it came out because it really was this break in formulaic gameplay that was really needed, but as soon as you complete a casual campaign or two it wears thin as the flaws start setting in. Seeing TotK really focuses hard on those flaws while also spelling out a future of even more formulaic games than ever before. Considering that Eiji Aonuma hinted that TotK is the baseline for future Zelda games, it seems clear that they’re falling in the exact same trap as they did with OoT, the trap that he acknowledges in that same interview. It kind of feels dooming for the future of the mainline Zelda, since we already see the flaws of this style very early on.

Super hyped for Echoes of Wisdom though. That one looks like it could be fun if executed well.

Definitely there on Other M too. The story is pretty mindless but the gameplay is pretty addicting and the FPS missile context switching is as fascinating and creative as it is awkward.

In general, I’m tired of seeing this trend of open world being just a superior format to linear gameplay. It feels like this encroaching new version of “3D is objectively better than 2D”, and watching Nintendo IPs fall into this trap one by one is kind of depressing. Open world is for players crafting their own story, and linear is more fitting if you want to tell a story. It’s certainly why the delivery of TOTK’s story is so repetitive, and how most open world games aren’t really open world because it just ends up on a linear track as soon as you reach an objective. Meanwhile, Metroid Dread the first go around honestly feels like an open world game despite being a total rollercoaster because the game design pushes the player’s intuitions so well, combining what the industry learned from games like Half Life, Mirror’s Edge, Uncharted, etc.

For real. I love Supergiant games and Bastion has been a personal inspiration in my gamedev journey, but I have Hades loving friends that look at me like I’m some kind of alien when I prefer doing another run in Dead Cells.

I recently had to replace my phone and just needed something working. Not even a fan of Samsung but I bought a Z Flip 4 for like $300 and it has like a scratch or two on the screen I barely notice. It’s been fantastic and I see no reason to really get a 5 or 6…

As I’ve slowly been expanding my homelab, NextCloud caught my attention. I haven’t tried it quite yet, but it might be closer to what you’re looking for.

Make that… triosies? Threeses?

I’m with you, it’s kind of annoying to see just how much people seethe over a platform. It looks exactly like what redditors did with IG, or TT, or emojis. I understand people’s frustrations with TT, but as someone who’s made content for both TT and YT shorts, engagement for small guys absolutely sucks on shorts and when TT is banned, there’s basically no real alternative. Not only that, but I’m also very concerned about the precedent that’s set by effectively censoring parts of the internet for Americans.

That being said I am also super pumped for Loops, I hope there’s more updates soon because I’ve been keeping an eye on that for a while!
