Holy fuck. I loathe the digital ads. I cannot think of something more insulting to the fan base or stupid for the growth of a niche sport.

Let’s see, the game is already difficult to track? Yeah, let’s add motion in the background, ads on the glass, and… banner ads across the scoreboard feed at the bottom of the screen.

Bettman can eat shit.

I can’t imagine the NFL pissing all over their premium product like this. I don’t even like football, but they do a great job making it easy to watch

Meh. Reddit had a very strong political bias.

Lemmy doesn’t have the same polish, it’s a little more difficult to create an account, and doesn’t have any marketing. Also success snowballs.

I respect the crap out of everyone that pitches in to make Lemmy as good as it is. But if I’m being real, I’m here to spite Reddit. Few people have that moral give-a-fuck. Spite is easy, following through to do something that is more challenging and pays nothing is not.

Aside from the config this looks cool

I bought a Retroid 3+ a while ago. It was an interesting experiment, but ultimately a pain in the ass to configure.

Ideally I just want to select a rom or game and play. I really don’t enjoy spending hours in settings and tweaking every detail to get a have to run decently. I don’t need AAA, but GameCube and PS2 would be cool.

Is that a thing? Or am I doomed to hangout in RetroArch settings?

I recently tried duo lingo. I have a pretty strong background in Spanish, but want to brush up. It became apparent very quickly that the app is not about learning so much as keeping you in it. The lessons don’t make a ton of sense, and after not using app for a week, it demoted me to just 8 words that you would learn in your first class (hombre, el, agua, tu, etc.). There is no way to skip ahead.

In addition to dual booting, you can create a persistent USB drive. It’s a little tedious, but kind of a cool way to give your setup a spin.

I think you need Rufus to format the drive, to set up the USB drive so it doesn’t refresh when you reboot. I’m sure there are speed implications, but I’ve actually found it snappy enough for basic stuff once it loads. It’s a cool way to try different distros. I have a handful lying around. I still preferred mint in the end.

No, it will work out for them. They just made a 50% profit increase. I doubt if even 10% of subscribers cancel.

It worked for Netflix, Disney+, Hulu… People just need to stop buying shit, but they won’t.

Same. I had two. They both started tracking weird after a few months. I’ve never had that issue with another mouse. Aside from that, the physical build of the mouse was the coolest design.

Why we can’t have nice things?.. Like Uncharted 5?

The lack of permance gets to be more and more problematic as you go on too.

I love the game, but it would still be very difficult even if you got to keep all of your items permanently, books from the library, etc.

At some point I’ll cave and watch how far others have gotten, but I’m not there yet.

Good luck. The further you get in this game, the more difficult and complex it gets. I have sheets of scribbled notes.

Bidet.

Yeah. I said it.

For those interested. The game is actually based on a book from the 80’s called Maze. It was a contest offering a reward for the first to solve it. It’s only a maze in the same in the same sense Blue Prince is

By random coincidence, my wife has the book. You can definitely see the resemblance.

Yes, you get dead ends a lot in the beginning. Eventually you find strategy and permanent upgrades and many more room types.

That’s what I kept asking myself. “How fucking big is this game?”

Well if you don’t get much time to play, be prepared that this one is an onion that takes time. If nothing else dive in long enough to see how much time the dev must have spent putting this together.

You’re not wrong. I’ve had most of these thoughts. I would appreciate more permanent upgrades to save time.

I won’t say it’s a flawless game. The depth is just so unexpected.

I played through the credits run solo. Now that I’m passed that, I’m bouncing ideas off a friend because it might take either of us ages to discover things like how to create certain items, etc.

You have me intrigued. I’ll check this one out.

I felt that way a bit too, but the game has so many layers of puzzles, that even a failed run has more to solve.

It’s kind of like watching Futurama. You still catch jokes on an episode you’ve seen ten times… Except clues in this case.

Me thinks this article uses some strange information math:

In 1923, Elizabeth loaned her son $800 – the equivalent of around $14,000…

He used that money to build a home for the equivalent of $7k and sold it for a profit. You can’t build a garage for $7k today, let alone a home.

71% profit loss and the stock is still waaaay up from a year ago. Our stock market is completely broken.
