  • I'm surprised that you say that there was a lot of hype when it was released. I remember seeing a lot of hype before it came out, but all of the discussion I saw when it was released was just complaints about the audio mixing and lack of character development.

    For the record I like the movie as an action movie. I feel like it's at a similar quality to most of his Batman movies and Inception in that sense. I just don't think it was ever intended to be profound or particularly deep (outside of the standard complexity that comes with a time travel story)

  • Welcome to the ‘nepo’ housing market: 40% of homebuyers under 30 get family money to cover their down payment
  • It sucks for people who aren't able to get financial assistance from their family (I'm one of them) but this isn't nepotism. This is families doing what is necessary to get a first house in a lot of current housing markets. Nepotism would be if houses were only being sold to family members/acquaintances of the owners.

  • ‘Barbie’ vs ‘Oppenheimer’: Which Movie Got Better Reviews
  • It's just a meme, since they're both highly anticipated movies with very different vibes releasing on the same day. I don't think most people are actually expecting them to compete (if anything, most of the jokes I see are about watching a Barbie/Oppenheimer double feature). It's the same as the Doom Eternal/Animal Crossing jokes a few years back

  • NASA starts building ice-hunting Moon rover
  • Yes!! Moon ice has had it too good for too long!!

  • what are your favourite books set in Melbourne?
  • I remember liking the Tomorrow, When the War Began series as a teenager (set in rural Vic). It's about a group of Aussie teenagers who return from a bush camping trip to find everyone in the town gone. I remember it gets pretty dark and seemed really grounded for a YA series at the time, but I was 15 so take it with a grain of salt haha

  • The Game Pass Version Of Starfield Can Be Upgraded For Early Access
  • That's still pretty insane, new games were about $80 here a couple of years ago

  • Microsoft is bringing PC Game Pass to Nvidia’s GeForce Now service
  • That's awesome! I only have a Playstation and Macbook so I never had a way to play most gamepass games. I already used Geforce Now so this is perfect for me!

  • Reddit already looks different for me
  • Yeah it's really making me realise how much of reddit is NSFW haha

  • Reddit already looks different for me
  • A lot of subs have already gone dark (over 4000 as of now), you can see a live progress tracker on reddark.untone.uk if you want to watch 😊

  • [Question] How to get Jerboa to open links to more instances?
  • Copied from my other comment:

    I just found it as well, it's in your phone (e.g., Google) settings. For my phone (Samsung) I go:

    (Samsung) Settings -> Apps -> Jerboa for Lemmy -> Set as Default -> Supported Web Addresses

    That leads to the page shown in the OP screenshot 😊

  • What are some of your LEAST favorite game mechanics?
  • The new Gollum game was very impressive in the way it managed to implement so many of the mechanics in this thread

  • The Parthenon on Film
  • Good to see it's still there

    (great pic by the way)

  • Is anyone else beginning to mourn reddit?
  • I don't think RSS would work for that (it only seems to pull the content for the post itself, not the comments), but I've always used reddit-stream.com/ for live comments 😊 you can just take any link to a live thread (e.g. https://reddit.com/comments/145upmt/) and replace 'reddit' with 'reddit-stream' in the URL. It shows a live (updates every few seconds) feed of comments, and you can still comment if you link your reddit account.

    That way you're still not on the reddit site or giving them ad traffic, and it's also a lot nicer to use as a bonus! I'd still prefer a fediverse alternative but it could be a good option for now

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Sounds funny to call a period longer than all of recorded human history a 'pause'

  • I've never played Skyrim
  • That sounds like the opposite of a mistake to me

  • Comfort games?
  • Any of the Yakuza games for me! I love the feeling of walking around Kamurocho or Sotenbori and just trying different arcade games, karaoke, food, baseball etc 😊 the ambience and overall vibe is so nice (even if you do have to beat up random thugs every few minutes). Also, there are so many (very long) games in the series that there's always something new for me to try
