Games@lemmy.world•Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WESTEnglish
402·19 days agoIll preface by saying I didnt read the article. But I also think that the state of gaming today is much worse than it was in the early 2000s for millennials.
When I was growing up, games had to come out complete so they were generally much more polished. However, when the Xbox360 came out, console makers gave the ability to devs to release patched versions via updates. Initially it was a great idea - devs could fix bugs they might have missed while testing. But then this quickly spiralled into studios forcing devs to release 1/2 baked games in a horribly broken state.
I also think how much you generally have to pay for games has gone way up with respect to the cost of living. Video gaming is much more of a luxury now, than a simple past time. Plus there are so many F2P mobile games out there, that there is even less of an incentive to get into a console / PC gaming.
- Diablo Immortal? F2P (i know theres probably micro transactions and bullshit)
- Diablo 4? PS5 ($500 - assuming you dont have the console already) + Diablo 4 ($67) + PS Plus ($14/month) = $581 + tax

10·24 days ago$20 says the boyfriend gets a firearm charge for discharging it within city limits 🙄
Jokes aside, they’re very lucky to be alive, and the boyfriend knew how to use the rifle well enough to maximize the use of each round.
For those unaware: .22 calibre is one of the smallest and weakest cartridges you can buy, and I’m shocked that it took down a moose. Granted, it took 15 hits, and probably had to be well placed hits

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How to Cut the Cord in Canada (2026): The Ultimate GuideEnglish
14·24 days agoYour article points out the main reason why I haven’t gotten into sports; even though I’d like to follow a bit of hockey, F1, and UK soccer. It’s complicated and expensive as fuck. $50/month for a subscription, and it doesn’t even cover all of the games for the same team? I’m interested in putting something on, once in a while; but it’s not worth $50 to maybe use it once a month or two
Thank you though for putting together these highly detailed instructions that are only for educational purposes!

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•A maga person has just threatened my family, what's to do next?
91·2 months agoI’m sorry to hear you’re dealing with an unhinged lunatic, and I’m frustrated on your behalf that the police won’t do anything. Ironically, you could call the police, threaten to kill their family, and you’ll be picked up for free and taken to a safe place the lunatic can’t get at you
I’d start by identifying what he actually knows. He’s proven he has obtained your names, phone numbers, and probably that you live in Nebraska; which is scary enough, but not enough to find you and cause harm.
Search for your names and phone numbers using multiple search engines. I would look for addresses, or places of work. If he can find out where you work, it makes it much easier for an adversary to find you. An easy place to check is LinkedIn. If there is a connection with your names and where you work, I’d speak with someone at work. Tell them you have a stalker and:
- Ensure any customer support agents are aware they are NEVER to provide personal information about employees, EVEN IF IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR BOSS ON THE PHONE. KnowB4 has some good training resources (not sponsored)
- To inform you if anyone has requested you / your family’s information.
Next time he calls, you can ask him for your address. He’s been pretty up front about the knowledge he has so far, so check his homework and see how far he’s gotten. That will give you an idea if he can actually attack now, or attack later. If he doesn’t know your address / where you work, it doesn’t mean he can’t find out later. I’d also suggest to not lead with (do you know where I work?) as it will give him an idea; but maybe ask him how he plans on killing you? Gruesome, but it’ll let him blab. Maybe ask a friend to do this so you’re not up all night thinking about it.
On the protection side: Unfortunately if the police isn’t willing to help, you’ll have to take matters into your own hands. Idk what the firearm laws are like in Nebraska, but you might want to look into it for self defence. I cant answer legal questions, but I’m more than happy to talk about firearms
Do some of your own counter-intelligence yourself. Look up the guys name, email, phone number; whatever you can get (I wasn’t able to look at the Facebook profile). Build a profile against him. Might help next time you contact the police. Also, write it down somewhere and take screenshots. If he knows you’re onto him, he could delete his accounts.
Finally, speak with a lawyer. They may be able to offer additional advice and bully the courts / police into getting off their asses and helping you more
I’m sorry I can’t do more to help but offer advice and answer questions
Good luck

Canada@lemmy.ca•Where the hell is CSIS? Where is the media?
23·2 months agoIt’s CSIS. They’re not supposed to announce to the world what they’re up to, otherwise it defeats the whole point of having an intelligence service. Unfortunately, the tradeoff is that it makes it seem like they’re not doing anything, and we can’t verify if they’re doing anything

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Best inexpensive country/part of country to live in?
4·3 months agoI don’t know much bout any of those places, but I’d think you’d want to lean towards living in a location that matches your skillset, so you can find work more easily. If you’re an accountant, you’d probably want to live near a financial district. If you’re a farmer, you’d probably want to live near a farm. If you have a fully remote job, still find a place in/near a hub for that type of work.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the most nonsense thing someone has ever told you?
33·4 months agoA lot of things from a particular family member
This month: His buddy who’s a “mechanic” touched our car and did a bunch of “extra work” on it for a “great price”. Got it back and it sounded like they emptied the transmission fluid in the CVT. I got “it must be the drive shaft” and “don’t go down rabbit holes on the internet”
It was missing transmission fluid

Canada@lemmy.ca•Alberta invokes notwithstanding clause on trio of transgender laws
48·4 months agoReally? You used the NWC for kids wanting gender reassignment medical help, kids asking to be called different pronouns, and kids figuring out which sports team they want to play on?
The stakes could not be higher
Oh fuck off. How about homeless people dying because of hunger, or people getting shot up during armed robberies. Literally life and death shit. How is perverting what the fuck is going on in Lisa’s pants more important than dealing with crime and income inequality?
Danielle - you’ve got more important shit to deal with than focusing all your attention on kids’ genitalia

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Apparently Homebox allows setting third-party label rendering endpoint through an HBOX_LABEL_MAKER_LABEL_SERVICE_URL env varEnglish
3·4 months agoFellow homebox user here. As an aside: I’ve got a storage room with a bunch of shelves and bins. For each bin, I’ve suck labels on them (using a label maker or sharpie + painters tape), and an NFC tag. Each box in Homebox has its own location, and each NFC tag is a direct link to its instance in Homebox.
It’s much easier to categorize larger quantities of things that aren’t as valuable as vintage media. Ie. hygiene products, off-season clothing, etc…

Canada@lemmy.ca•2020: Why Canada should ban the sale, ownership of handguns
4·4 months agoIt might vary depend on where you were taught and resources available. My instructor had all sorts of types of firearms out and we had hands-on time with all of them; but we only talked about the storage requirements
No, I don’t think so?

Canada@lemmy.ca•Class action suit re maplewashing grocery stores
2·6 months agoIm curious about what the law considers something to be “false advertising” or not. My guess is that false advertising focuses heavily on the final product. They’re still providing the product that’s advertised on the packaging so it’s not false advertising. But the laws around what can be classified as “Made in Canada” could be a lot looser. A product can have so many steps and parts in its creation, and each step/part can be all over the globe; so how do we define something that’s “Canadian”? (I’m assuming this is already answered in case law)

Games@lemmy.world•what boss in any video game has an insanely cool intro to them before fighting?English
51·6 months agoFinal boss of Dark Souls
Tap for spoiler
I’d argue the entire game is the boss intro. And IIRC, the lore behind Gwyn is pretty deep too. You fight all these big baddies, and when you get to Gwyn, he’s relatively pretty weak.
I remember being very fascinated by all the dark souls lore and his was particularly interesting. I vaguely remember that after killing him, you have the choice of keeping the flame alive or leaving and breaking the cycle?

Thank you for this. I have seen a few *arr combination projects I wanted to look into; so I may have had come across this one.
It’s unfortunate that the “developer” chose to nope out, instead of fixing it or at least seeking help from the community. This is one of the good aspects of OSS - that we can and should audit ourselves. But if it was all vibe coded, maybe they didn’t know that an audit is good and should be welcomed; instead of rejected and shutdown.
