I primarily read horror, so this doesn’t affect me. I can’t remember a single novel I’ve read, even when it’s from a different genre, where the book world is more desirable than the actual world.

Bleak stories with substance are soothing.

So, still boomer humor based on manufactured gender division. Cool.

The amount of upvotes this boomer shit has is just fucking embarrassing. Gender has absolutely zero impact on hair. It’s all genetics. I’m male and my hair is long and thin as fuck.

People are sensitive about this. I didn’t think our opinions were controversial but you got a downvote within a few minutes of leaving your comment. That was fast.

We’re not even criticizing it, just saying it’s not for us. I was born in 85 and used computers in the computer lab at school in the 90s that were too old to even have mice, they were keyboard only. We played educational games on them like Oregon Trail and lots of math games. These graphics remind me of those. I’m just not interested in going back that far.

The graphics are too primitive for me, which is a shame. I don’t consider myself a graphics snob, but this looks like something that came out 35 years ago.

Maybe I’m the problem for clicking on a post about a game I haven’t played yet, but also maybe if you include a major spoiler as your second sentence, your first sentence should mention the incoming spoiler.

Just a suggestion.

Yes! It always does the loading spin animation for like 10 seconds before it shows me my downloaded album. And some albums just never work at all. I have to go online and then offline again just to make it work at all, which defeats the purpose of being offline in the first place.

I just started my free qobuz trial though, and canceled my Spotify account. I mentioned their CEO as the reason I canceled.

The offline features on Spotify are abysmal. Half my downloaded albums don’t even work. It’s the primary reason I’m looking for an alternative. How can an app with such a high market share be this shitty?

I would think that it would only apply to AI generated images, but I suppose it would depend on the community. In this comm in particular in which all the posts are images it shouldn’t be too tricky to define. As the technology advances it might eventually be impossible to spot them, though…

Lemmy users seem to overwhelmingly despise AI slop, which makes me wonder why my more communities don’t have rules against it. I would love to be able to report it and have it removed.

You’re both right. Capitalism accelerates climate change but so does the outrageous electricity requirements of LLMs.

Bullshit. It’s painfully obvious that this was either written by a dog person or is using a tired stereotype to get clicks and make an easy joke.

I usually like Pizzacake.

This was my first thought. My second was about the beach closest to my apartment on the Puget Sound. The sand there is always wet and cold, even on a 90 degree day. This bottle design is still silly for 99% of beaches in existence, though. I just happen to live in a unicorn climate.

I don’t “hate” Coldplay, I nothing them. I don’t care for their sound at all, but am routinely forced to listen to it in stores. I resent being forced to listen to music, but don’t hate the bands themselves.

The stores who play ten songs on a loop can go fuck themselves, however.

This is particularly poignant as an autistic person. Being told to calm down when there’s fucking nuclear reaction levels of anxiety going on in your brain is a level of condescension that would set off even the calmest motherfucker on the planet if they could experience this for even 5 fucking seconds.

I’m not a woman, but I can at least partially relate to how awful it is to be told to calm down. Shit suuuuuuuucks.

Well, what else are we supposed to do? Our hands are tied. I live in the Seattle metro and for some insane reason we don’t have a single retail option for graphics cards. I wasn’t able to get one off Newegg on launch day before they were all gone to bots, so my only option was eBay.

I hate enabling scalpers but it was either that or risk paying 47’s stupid fucking tariffs. I had a narrow window to skip the tariffs upcharge and I took it. I would rather pay the extra $200 to an asshole scalper than to the federal government so they can spend it on their gestapo.

I agree, but they have no incentive to do so when gamers buy it anyway. People need to vote with their wallets.

Call of Duty sales suggest this isn’t happening.

Only if it’s profitable or they’re forced to do so through legislation. Otherwise they won’t even try.

The ending of the sequel fucked me up for weeks. Absolutely brutal.
