there was definitely a time where i got some results from google in a very ad-like manner, super fucking annoying: “you may like this…” and spamming different search terms, locations etc.

i haven’t seen it since, i figured they were A/B testing the design

definitely not, i used this a ton too. it’s obvious reddit is just getting greedy

oh shit i didn't realize it already dropped!! kinda keep an eye on it

and the fact that they tried to retroactively charge folks for using unity…like wtf cmon

honestly, i’m getting tired of board members of corporations just making shitty decisions to try and squeeze more money out of their customers rather than trying to learn what about their product appeals to their customer base in the first place. notice how it’s never enough to look at revenue over the years and say, “this is enough, let’s keep this steady.”

so is using something like an Apple TV or Roku box actually more secure than just using the apps directly on the TV?

oh…is that why all these nice smart TVs are so affordable these days?! damn!!

are there any good scooby doo games out there? i remember playing one on the PS2 as a kid, good balance of “creepy” stuff like zombies and just goofball humor

Pixelfed for Instagram to a certain extent. You can also use Instander for an alternative viewer for regular Instagram.

Revolt Chat looks like another alternative for Discord, but haven’t used it myself

I didn’t really get into Minecraft until after the Microsoft acquisition. Aside from things like Minecraft Dungeons and the story mode, were there other drastic game overhauls that “ruined” what Mojang had built before?

A lot of the newer updates seem to be pretty awesome but I’m curious what the OGs think

Depending on the tier you also get a library of free games which is honestly kinda nice, but that’s pretty much it.

Excited to play it, too bad i gotta wait 5 more days since i didn’t wanna shell out 30 more just to play it earlier lol

From what I’ve seen as long as you’re not using a CDMA network like Verizon it reasonably works. There might be some minor issues when it comes to network performance on 5G/LTE but lots of folks claim that it’s been working just fine for them.

No downside really, guess I’m just more curious what the stock OS is like for the Fairphone

Dammit, what’s it gonna take for the Fairphone to be brought to the US? The only options are buying it from the Murena shop with their /e/ OS installed or to get the European model from somewhere like eBay or Newegg.

and considering that it’s not a huge game studio, minor bugs like this were kind of expected

I’m still working through BG3 and Starfield comes out really soon…I’m not gonna have time!!!

I’m excited!! Killing Floor 2 was a blast so if it’s anything like that it’ll be a good time

Wait …WHAT???

Elden ring I think is still much more accessible for a newcomer. If you try Dark Souls 1, you’ll realize that the difficulty of the game also learns pretty hard into more tedious aspects.

Getting cursed in Dark Souls 1 means you’re HP is capped to half until you find the cure, as an example.
