If she name drops, shit is really going to fly. But she should only do that if she has proof of who said it. I hope she does. Because if all that’s true (and lets be honest, Linus has regularly been fine with showing how toxic of a boss he is on camera, so it’s very likely all true) LMG should burn to the ground.

Reddit corporate claims victory

LOL, fucking pathetic.

Platforms don’t rise and fall in a single day. Reddit used to be obscure. The fewer people go and make content there and instead just post her, the more Reddit dies through attrition. And as more active users are on Lemmy, the more it grows.

IT guy here… Uh, no. I resent that you would group us with HR.

At my work I keep advocating to give our underperforming hardware (aka old hardware) a second life by opening up sales for them instead of destroying them (except hard drives of course).

When my laptop was acting up and was kind of crappy… I replace the thermal paste and replaced the old failing hard drive with a new SSD. At laptop is now 14 years old (Intel i5-540).

I saw the picture before I read the title, what a roller coaster of emotions that was. I thought he was going to amputate his foot.

Words are cheap.

I’ll believe it when I see it. The last time I personally believe they last put any effort into their games was X/Y. And only because they went from pixel to polys.

The story has been crap for a while. Even gen 1 has a more compelling story. The bad guys have been laughably stupid, and your rival… Your rival is an overly clingy person who desperately wants to be your best friend. The mechanics haven’t budged in forever. So much so a goldfish can accidentally win. Every game is more about that games mechanic then building the franchise or gameplay. And a gimmicks are half baked, propped up just to sell but never follow through on. How many pokémon actually got mega evolutions? Or Z-moves, or Dynamaxing and Gigantamaxing. I mean, I quit shield like maybe a few weeks after it came out and I have most of them because… It was just a temporary gimmick to slap on the box to try to sell it.

But beyond just a bare bones mechanics that is the game…

Scarlett and violet run terribly. And I know a lot of people kept trying to blame the switch hardware because god forbid you blame pokémon. But it’s not like it was just Scarlet and violet, sword and shield also ran pretty terribly not as bad but still bad. And they look like upscaled PS1 games. Mainstream pokémon games are just an example of putting in minimum effort while riding nostalgia and cartoon tie-in.

I hope when the next game gets announced, no one pre-orders. I know that won’t happen because people are afraid that somehow they’re going to run out of digital copies… But I can dream. I hope everyone waits until reviews come out. Because I want to remind you Nintendo doesn’t do returns.

So my gaming computer is in my bedroom. I do use Folding@Home to heat the room during winter months.

Massive amounts of telemetry data and nearly every app these days just being a web app just chews through your hardware. We use Teams at work and it’s just god awful. Hell, even steam is a problem. Even having your friends list open can cause a loss to your fps in some games.

I’m partial deaf… These let me hear music in a way I never could. I remember being in a quiet place and listened to an audio sample… Hearing an instrument on my bad side was like listening to it for the first time. Hearing in stereo is just wild when you have only heard in mono your whole life

The SssniperWolf is the biggest ‘reaction’ channel on YouTube. I.e. steal other people’s videos, giving no credit, and not being transformative. You see a ton of these, and every last one is 100% worthless. She constantly goes for the 8 minute marker so she can run more ads. It’s all stolen content, nothing given back to the real creators.

Jack, had been making videos about this, calling out SssniperWolf specifically (the biggest offender currently). Helping people get their videos removed from hers. He’s done this for years, SssniperWolf is just the latest. Example, many years ago the big offender (though one could argue actually had some effort put in…) =3 with RayWilliamJohnson.

So, this week, SssniperWolf decided to track down where Jack lives, then made a video post showing his address, doxxing him and his wife. Now she’s playing ignorant and innocent, pretending she doesn’t even know what doxxing is. Doxxing has in the past led to swatting which has led to people dying.

Not only are they dropping support for it and unless someone figures out how to hack you just throw it away. But don’t worry, they won’t automatically cancel your subscription… that function keeps working.
