I will also say is that major reason why Steam has an monopoly is that they have invested their resources to streamline the PC gaming experience and also make gaming on Linux better as well as Steam controller which also allows us to remap control layout.

None the alternative does that and are just another DRM-Storefront. That's my major pet peeve with Steam alternative like Epic Games Launcher. Closest we have is GOG for to be able to download offline installer and most the games are DRM-free. Otherwise, I just would rather buy games on Steam as it just works for me.. 🤷

Both the wall and floor looks like someone played The Sims 3 and repeat same pattern for everything inside one room

I can't imagine the alternative be less stretchy compared to Pornhub, not that Pornhub isn't a sketchy site in the first place

but I'm not sure USB-C output exists.

Not that I'm aware of, no. It's either HDMI or (if you getting the older Blu-ray player) one has Composite or Component output.

Now I'm also questioning the need of BluRay/image upgrade, as it shouldn't be too expensive.

You can always get it second-hand which would be cheaper than getting it new and make sure you don't connect to the internet.

Also as someone that has BluRay player, I prefer BluRay over DVD disc for it being in HD and also, it can still play DVDs. If you already have BluRay collection or don't mind spending a bit to get it on that format, go for it.

For people who want to read YouTube's statement about updating the guidelines

• Graphic gaming content. In addition to our existing guidelines around graphic gaming content, we will age-restrict an additional small subset of video game content featuring realistic human characters that focuses on scenes of torture or scenes of mass violence against non-combatants. We’ll consider several factors when reviewing this type of content such as:
• Duration - If the graphic scene is sustained (rather than fleeting). For compilation videos, we’ll now consider the cumulative duration of all of the graphic clips combined.
• Prominence - If the violent imagery is zoomed-in or the main focus of the scene
• Realistic human characters - If the violence is happening to a character that looks like a real human

I just know that age-restricted videos don't usually perform well and I have a bad feeling that we will see more censoring to make the video "monetizable". I watched some gameplay or even review which has gameplay footage in the background so I'm concerned if that would affect review as well as I like knowing roughly what the gameplay would be like

They made "datapack" which is a way of playing with mods without having to use third-party mod loaders like Forge and Fabric but (don't quote me on this as I'm not a mod developer) it's not as powerful compare to the mod loaders.

I personally prefer Lemmy Instances to be more personalised based on whatever theme/topic than a "one size, fits all". For example I'm on Lemmy.blahaj.zone which while is more for trans femme & trans women, I'm on it has it's queer-friendly. There used to be Lemmy instance for Autistic people which I remember was nice but it was shamed it got closed down.

Seeing same community name but on different instances is little overwhelming and I tend to post or use one that seems more active. I'll understand if that community in question has a moderator that does not great decision (like going too heavy on banning users or not doing anything about the bad-actors on that community) but otherwise, it just feels crowded and I had to spend couple minute to decide if a post I will make there will get as much attention compare to the other one.

I doubt you can really buy those TVs anymore without it being a "Smart" TV. The best you can do is disable the Internet Connection on your TV. I have heard couple people suggesting commercial TV but I'm not too sure how great they would be for gaming and more made for well.. staying on most the time, inside at a shop.

Dustin Broke from The Sims 2. He tried to help his family while her stay-at-home mum is pregnant and her husband drown from a pool. I was rooting for him, even if he was a getaway driver.

Just about to have cereal and browse around both on here and Pinterest until my Mum has woken up as we are planning going to few charity shops

If I recall, Rumble is famous video-sharing platform for the far-right

It was a decade ago but I remember about most of the time when my parents order at Pizza Hut, they keep getting the order wrong. Think that's main reason why when ordering a takeaway, we usually tend to order a Chinese as one we tend to order barely get the order wrong, unlike Pizza Hut.

Be able to have the patient to try to understand me and both of us look out for each other. Also, not being condescending but that is a bare minimum which sadly, not everyone follows. /:

In general, any Fediverse instances should be able to talk each other unless the admin has blocked that instance for whatever reason.

What do you mean by "censorship" and what is your example of the "high-censorship instance" doing it?

Depending on the context, I can see that being true but otherwise, I usually find them just fence-sittting and them saying bunch of words which feels like a whole lot off nothing.

I can only understand the concern if it related to how many the chat room and users are mostly created in offical Matrix instance instead more be self-hosted and even that is a reach

Do you use youtube mainly?

I mean, we are talking about the most biggest video sharing platform. So yes, I still use it despite how much I hate YouTube and that's just because the sort of videos I watch is on YouTube and not on places like PeerTube. Personally, I wish more YouTubers, Content Creators (or whatever word as I know people have the pet peeve with the word "Content Creators") would try other alternative video site like PeerTube, even if it as a mirror.

Do you care about clickbait?

This may be controversial but I think especially as YouTube is driven by the algorithm, you had to do bit of clickbait to make your videos pop from the rest. That being said, I don't like it when it is both ragebait and it feels insulting to my intelligences. It is an instant no for me and I block the channel with BlockTube as even pressing "Don't recommend this channel", YouTube still recommends them.

Do you think clickbait is the major of the YouTube's problems?

It's one of the issue but I think Google's trying to make YouTube as advertiser friendly as possible is the biggest issue. A lot of the issue stem from Google doing that and YouTubers are still trying to adapt and walking on eggshells to still create video while getting monetise. It has got so bad, we are censoring "died", "kill themself" to "unaliving" or otherwise, they would get demonetise which from what I heard, their video won't be push out. Those sort of video are talking about some serious subject matters and I know they have good intent but it makes it goofy rather than something serious. I could rant about it but it be off-topic about YouTube clickbait.

But yes, clickbait is the problem and some would make ragebait videos as they know how thin-skinned people are online. I'm thin-skinned as well and I try my very best to avoid them as I know some are just both hateful and low-effort so they are not worth my time.

Do you see something good in clickbait among the bad things? Like, which ones?

My understanding is that clickbait is making some sort of topic or subject matter more clickable. A lot of YouTubers and even journalist online are doing this whether it quote whatever someone said as their headline or whatever. Lot of people associate clickbait as whatever the hell is happening in Mr Beast's Thumbnails.
