Apparently Cyberpunk 2077 is good now?

For half off definitely give it a try. It's long been patched and when i played it early this year my only problems were two times the game randomly closed.

Gun play is extremely satisfying, sound design included.

Driving is... better than in watch_dogs, worse than in GTA. But traveling through the world is a bit disappointing. Rich map with little life.

Side missions are fun and fill up the time nicely. The missions are creative and not necessarily "go from point A to point B while killing waves of enemies", but those are there as well.

How do pre-reddit influx lemmy members feel?

Reply in thread

While I am positive overall, I do not like that some bad habits from reddit are resurfacing here, mostly not being able to have different opinion without someone insulting you.

This is humans were talking about. Humans on the internet. This is inevitable and I wouldn't specifically attribute this to former reddit users. You have this on Twitter, you have this on Instagram. The "my opinion is the only correct opinion" sentiment is prevalent everywhere today. Sadly.

3060 Ti good enough for 3440x1440 monitor?

Reply in thread

I'm fully prepared to have to play some games in 16:9 if that's the case. I naturally want to get the full experience where possible, but I'm ready to compromise.

My potential concern with lowering the resolution is the fact that 1080p and 1440p don't align that well with one another. Bigger issue with text than with games, but I haven't had a chance to see that supposed issue with my own eyes.

Nothing phone (2) MEGATHREAD

Reply in thread

Hi Mishaal. Asking this for your future review.

  1. How's the vibration motor?
  2. How do you find the "gimmicky" Nothing cable, any quality concerns?
  3. General fingerprint reader experience
  4. Any issues with cellular reception/calls?

And these I believe you could answer before the embargo.

  1. Favorite feature of the Nothing OS 2.0
  2. How comfortable is it to use when laying in bed? Particularly when holding it above yourself and typing.
  3. How big of a difference does it make to use the entire glyph interface vs just the flashlight? Not just for the camera experience but like, looking for stuff under the bed etc. And how easy is it to use it like this (one toggle or digging deep in the settings)?

Is anyone else beginning to mourn reddit?

It's a bittersweet kind of reaction for me. I've been aware of how shit reddit's been for a while, and how shit it's been habit-wose for myself. So maybe it's the push i needed to get away. That's the sweet part I guess.

The bitter part is, I moderate a relatively small community (181k) that's been a passion of mine for literal years. Still is. If i have to moderate that with the official app, I'm out, I can't do it, I tried. I know reddit doesn't care about me or my community. It's all a rounding error. But this situation applies to bigger communities as well. And it's just a big slap in the face after being exploited. Reddit absolutely needs moderstors, needs this free labor. And they just said fuck you to those people.

Anyone else excited for the Flip 5?

Reply in thread

Motorola really is on to something with their latest RAZR. It's really looking like its own thing rather than a spin on Samsung's flip. The cover display is something they do like no other OEM does on a flip phone and it makes me happy to see some actual competition.

Germany praises EU deal on renewable energy raising target for 2030 to 45%

This is the e-fuel that I was referring to. When burnt it releases carbon dioxide back to the atmosphere. It's better than nothing, but it doesn't decrease the carbon footprint. We should really be focusing on capturing CO2 and not releasing it back into the atmosphere.

Hydrogen cells like you described are a promising alternative.
