I’m not too bothered by the recasting because after 15 years I doubt Toby Huss could do the Kahn accent exactly as it was either.
I do think that it didn’t have to be done. But it’s not a big deal so anti woke people should get over it too
I mean 1.) the network is still pretty small and so the ratio of creators are gonna be low because the audience is low.
2.) the discussions here are still good and engaging. Unless you mean that everyone is a leftist and therefore the same. That’s not even true unless you only follow communities on Lemmy.ml and that’s only because their admins will remove comments for not being leftist
Well they are still on X which is owned by a guy who does Nazi salutes and whose AI chat bot calls himself Mecha Hitler ~(over giga Jew, but still wrong choice)~
So they will stay on that platform but won’t vote for this guy, yeah your comment rings pretty true
By this guys logic shouldn’t he be supporting the winner of the primary and admonishing those who say they will vote 3rd party instead of the other way around?
I’d like it. It’d be nice to be able to talk to my fellow Jayhawks on the fediverse. I know I don’t post much on c/nba but I do check the community daily and appreciate those who contribute. I just have a lot more insight on cbb than the NBA since KC doesn’t have a local team
Lemmy also can’t be used non-publicly so a pointless distinction considering the context.
It already has. Lemmy.zip if unavailable to users (of the admins own volition as they don’t have the capability to comply) in the Uk because of the law
All that information is integrated in Active Directory and available for Microsoft to ingest into their AI. Heck it could be something they put in the system prompt. “If you have low confidence in your output then respond ‘contact your manager’ instead.
I can see that parents failed young men and the education system failed young men. But these men aren’t entitled to a woman or a high paying job. And quite frankly they probably aren’t capable of those things or they would be solving their own problems instead of blaming women for them
The other tell is using an emoji at the start of every demarcated writing section. Such as a quote or markdown heading
True, the AI mannerisms in LLM generated outputs are the same style of high view YouTube videos or high karma Reddit comments from a decade ago.
But I’ve always hated the YouTube voice or the “hey Reddit, unidan here, as a biologist did you know that jackdaws and crows aren’t the same. Upvotes to left” style.
But that’s explicitly the style that normal people didn’t use and AI almost exclusively uses, so it is noticeable.
It basically looks like DK Galaxy/Odyssey but the gameplay looks pretty solid. I am honest the whole Pauline as the little sibling coop character role feels like it could be better served by Diddy Kong. I also don’t like her design either though. I guess they wanted a character to be able to speak for DK.
You don’t have to prove you didn’t do something. The state has to prove that you did do it. We should assume he is innocent in the absence of evidence.
User name checks out, I really enjoy your writing. Do you keep a blog?
Games, as much as anything else, is a hobby and are something that people have to have a passion for to stay up with it. Just like the hobby of your coworker, who hits up the car show circuit every summer weekend, can cite every part number for the general Lee dodge charger out of the Dodge parts catalog, might be intimidating to someone who isn’t a car person. Our hobby has time and financial commitments that gatekeep others out too. We love it anyway.
Chasing an authentic or definitive experience, is like going for tops at a car show. A goal worth striving for but not required to enjoy the hobby.
Just like we can talk about how Donkey Kong, or Super Mario Bros. or Doom impacted gaming forever. So could your car guy about thunderbirds, corvettes, or some other third thing.
Equally sad is cars today, like games, are engineered to make as much money as possible and not for repair or longevity. Meanwhile the classics will always have a community dedicated to preserving them even as the stock of parts grow thin and less accessible.
In 30 years no one is going to be able to drive a car from the near future even if they wanted to as they get reduced to required apps to start and LTE connectivity for the on board computer functionality, the same way Fortnite won’t exist even though Super Mario Bros still plays fine on OG hardware
The 80s had some great games. Donkey Kong. Pac-Man. Galaga and Galaxian. Super Mario Bros 1,2,3. Zelda 1 & 2. Contra, Castlevania, Megaman
But the 90s had Mario World and Mario Kart. Super Metroid. Link to the Past. Donkey Kong Country. Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time. Crash and Spyro. Sonic. Medal of Honor. Goldeneye. Half - Life.
I’d probably take the 90s slightly over the 80s. Heck even the 00s have Half-Life 2, the GTA series, the good Call of Duty’s and Halos. And the 2010s had RDR2 and GTAV.
2020s haven’t had any super great games yet though.
Potatoes look very good. The onion gravy doesn’t look too bad. Lamb is tough to get it just right. Looks like a pretty good supper to me. Glad you shared
The worst person you know just made a great point
Nothing personnel kid.
While you were out there having sex, I studied the blade

I have been really into Half-Life 1 and just recently finished the first 2 expansions.
Opposing force was awesome. I loved all the new weapons. The expanded lore into the kinds of research that Black Mesa was doing was nice. And the HECU squad mates were so much more helpful than the scientists and Barneys.
Blue Shift on the other hand was much shorter and didn’t have any new weapons but it did have a bigger focus on the lore of black mesa and had references to Half-Life, Opposing Force, and even Decay. Dr. Rosenberg did a lot of exposition to explain the lore further as well. Overall it was a good experience with very little downtime compared to Half-Life.
I’ve even started playing Decay now with my 8 year old and we are having a lot of fun with that. Its mission structure compared to the unbroken chapter structure of the rest of the games is quite the difference but it works with the co-op gameplay. We are only about 4 missions in but I look forward to experiencing more of it. Dr Rosenberg is back too so I love that it’s another perspective of the events that happened in the other expansions and base game.
I just wanted share my thoughts and maybe here more of the community thoughts as I just love Half-Life despite never really experiencing it until last year
On behalf of all the dads, sons, or daughters; if you are a mom, thank you!
Moms are a miracle. My kids remind of that. I just spent an hour wrestling with the kids at the dinner table because they wouldn’t eat the Mother’s Day lunch I prepared them. Thank you to all the moms who put up with us as kids because we are getting it back now. And thank you to the wives’ who this is their daily reality.

I have the whole thing connected to the Belkin SoHo KVM with my Windows 11 PC (behind the cabinet on the left) and my NUC that I use as a home lab server (on top of the Blu-ray drive on the right)
A blog post on the build will be forthcoming but feel free to suggest games and software I should load onto or AMA about the system.
It was a really fun project
I’m looking for a mouse and keyboard that will work for my retro 98SE build while also being acceptable for playing on my windows 11 pc that’s connected via KVM at the same desk.
Requirement is for it to use PS/2 so I don’t have to connect another input device because the USB driver decided not to load on 98.
I’ve been trying to google for information but not getting a lot of good answers. Thanks in advance for your advice folks
The eagles have saved us from the Chiefs Threepeat with their Super Bowl victory. The combine and free agency will be starting soon. Post any discussion here on upcoming free agents. Is Jeanty the consensus 1.01 in dynasty drafts? Will Higgins moving on help or hurt Ja’Maar Chase after a historic season. Can Saquon repeat? What else do we have?
Act 0: Black Mesa Inbound When I was 5 years old, my family got our first home computer. The year was 1997. The computer was a Sony VAIO. I didn’t have a clue what a computer was at the time. When Dad booted up the computer that first time, I heard the Windows 95 boot up chimes, I saw the intro sequ...
My latest blog post is my review of the first Half-Life game. I decided to break the review up into acts as I feel each act of the game has its own focus on different aspects of game design.
Act 1 being setting, characters, and story. Act 2 being sound, gunplay, and combat. And Act 3 being gameplay.
Act 1 (Story)- 4 ☢️s out 5
Act 2 (Combat)- 5 ☢️s out of 5
Act 3 (Gameplay)- 3 ☢️s out 5
Overall-4 ☢️s out of 5
Do I take the job? This weird guy keeps asking me to choose!
This may be somewhat obvious advice but it makes a huge difference. If your iPhone says the battery is degraded (under 80% battery health) then take it to a repair center and replace the battery. Even if your phone says it’s at “Peak Performance” despite the battery health.
For context, my iPhone 13 mini (purchased at launch in 2021) was at 74% battery health and the battery menu said it was degraded and to seek service despite also saying “Peak Performance Capability”. I could tell because my phone would become hotter than the surface of the sun if I used it for more than 10 minutes. It would also become so slow if trying to use the internet as it struggled to load all the JavaScript and ads and such when loading websites.
I decided to get the battery replaced at the Apple Store (and they decided to replace the screen as well for no additional charge) for a total of $89 before tax. It runs like it is brand new and I could totally see me getting another 3 years out of it.
If anyone is considering buying a new device or just repairing their existing device, I can’t recommend replacing the battery enough. It really made an impact in my experience
Week 14 is the last week of the regular season for most, first round of the playoffs for those with 2 week matchups.
Did you miss the playoffs, needing some help to make them, needing a win and your in, or clinched the first round bye?
Let us know how your squad looks and best of luck to you all in the playoffs

We already had the hall of fame game where we saw Brett Rypien and Collin Johnson ball out. Now we have the full week 1 slate starting tonight.
Some games of interest for me-
Panthers - Patriots to see how Maye does and how their WR room shakes out.
Texans - Steelers to see how Fields does and whether he is a stash to see if he can beat out Russ sooner rather than later
What games are you interested in watching this week. About a month left until Week 1 is here!
Full Preseason Schedule-

I just don’t get it… Why is that important, especially for kids now, that feel like they need to do a YouTube video asking for a date or doing some meme stuff. Some teens even hire the hottest celebrity or ask them to appear in their prom? This is so bizarre for me, all that just for a frivolous nig...
A really good explanation that I felt deserved to be highlighted.
