I tend to downclick anyone asking for upclicks even when joking. Thankfully at the time of content engagement there was an click imbalance that required downclicks to correct. Close call, I’d have to downclick you otherwise.
one of the design goals was when you saw it you wanted to lick it

3·11 days agoIt’s not open like Adium was but Beeper lets me keep my sanity when communicating with friends and family over Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. There are paid subscription tiers but free one is sufficient for regular personal use.

World of JRPGs@lemmy.zip•What JRPGs will you be playing in August? What games did you finish in July?English
6·14 days agoI pulled out a tube TV from the basement to see if it still works, ended up playing through Chrono Trigger on Mister FPGA. What a short and sweet game. Are there any modern AAA JRPGs that don’t overstay their welcome?
I also finished my „play on train only” Final Fantasy VII Remake run on Switch 2. That took some time since I only do maybe 6 hours per week on trains. Kind of scared how many trips Rebirth will take.
Up next: dunno, SMTV while travelling and Star Ocean on tube TV at home probably.

Game Console Modifications and Hacking@lemmy.sdf.org•Nintendo Switch Lite with SUPER5 OLED and swapped buttonsEnglish
1·14 days agoMina the Hollower is a great fit for Lite that I’ve been enjoying lately (even if I suck at it). I also started playing Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance but quite early on there’s a place where the game stutters badly which is a stark reminder that I’ll have to get this Lite modchipped. A touch of overclock makes many games get good enough quite often.
SUPER5 screens are no longer sold unfortunately. The guy who made them lost a lot of money on a version of this mod with HDMI output on top of numerous complaints from customers who botched their installs and damaged either screen or their Lites. He seems to be quite successful in selling his Mister FPGA clones too.
Lite is a great companion handheld regardless of screen though! It might not have every indie game that Steam does but that Switch library is still very impressive.

World of JRPGs@lemmy.zip•A Final Fantasy 6 remake would need four or five games to do the story justice, Yoshi-P says | VGCEnglish
22·19 days agoFFVI was rereleased for pretty much every platform already, sold relatively well and should satisfy that demographic. People are asking for a bigger FFVI remake because only something grand could do that story justice in another format.

61·19 days agoIt’s because consumers expect certain level of production values which is then amplified by the scale of FFVI story. By the time you invest in the required assets you want to maximise bang for your buck so each location needs more depth and that’s how you end up with something like FFVII Remake.

Apple@lemmy.zip•Apple Will 'Watch Everything Burn' When the AI Bubble Bursts | Ed ZitronEnglish
27·19 days agoThey pumped brakes on their own LLM, they are now going to use Google one.
It was disclosed through user agreement and docs for admins hosting Tesseract. List wasn’t encrypted. We’re going in circles now.
People are allowed to have political opinions and they’re allowed to express them through software. Don’t like it? Don’t use it.
How else could such list work? New Tesseract release for every update to the filter? It wasn’t encrypted.
The list was not public, what are you going on about?
Tesseract is open source, no?
He was also not ‘running’ anything for most users, any more than Linus is ‘running’ my pc just because I’m using Linux.
He is running an opinionated client to the underlying ActivityPub network. He states that in user agreement and docs for admins that want to host it on their own.
Do I agree with a design philosophy intended to decrease polarisation? Heck yeah. The amount of downvotes I’ve got shows what kind of people this thing attracts. Reeks of reddit.
Being upfront about some bans is detrimental to the effort because of ban evaders, which is most of this list supposedly. The toggle was still there there and the list was public.
I agree that if you run a thing then you get to decide things about it. I agree that calls for for violence should be filtered from normies at all cost (I’m very pro guillotine but I think it’s best to have everyone get there on their own pace). I agree that homophobia/transphobia has no place in a civilised space. So, mostly everything that was stated there.
I don’t use Tesseract but I did try it out back in the day and I remember that there was a button labeled „toxicity” in settings. I’m surprised by what it does from a technical perspective because I’d expect it to do filtering based on keywords. But user filters definitely work too, it’s just that you have to keep your ear to the ground which is a lot of effort. I modded a national subreddit back in the day and for certain type of users doing a pseudo-shadowban was the only way to do it.
I can’t vouch for every person on the list being there for a valid reason. I scrolled it but didn’t recognise anyone. I stay out of crowded spaces though.
I agree with rationale of what Tesseract is doing but I’m also disappointed I’m not on the list.

Retro Gaming@lemmy.zip•Top 10 best selling PC games in the US in 1996English
2·23 days agoIt kinda still is. It’s just that people who could afford a 486/Pentium beige box in 1996 were a very specific type of person. Even among that bunch Duke being #1 and Quake at #4 shows that a Pentium was out of reach for many. A barrier to entry was lowered substantially since then with everything that brings.

Science@mander.xyz•People With Aphantasia Can't Visualize Anything. So How Do They Dream?English
6·28 days agoNot being able to visualise images has no bearing on whether you can conceptualise surrounding space (positions, distances) or you wouldn’t be able to function at all. While aphantasia is not a medically recognised condition and therefore not exactly well studied there’s a lot to suggest it partially overlaps with autism. This in turn would explain tendency for bottom-up thinking - your brain has to systemise everything to understand it. At least that’s my intuition as someone with both.
