More astroturfed than homemade, but yeah. I mean Hitler cited Ford as an inspiration and gave him an award in 1940 something. It’s been gross for a long time.

Iirc using the ‘delete’ button just does the equivalent of breaking the link to a picture. The data is still there.

ACAB. all cops aid and abet a system that encourages abuse of power and is wielded by those in power as a tool of oppression. quit it with the bullshit.

does anyone still gets a newspaper?

you’re probably right. isn’t that pretty much what they tried to do with cloud computing and storage?

I’ve been on the brink for a while but learning a whole new OS is going to be hard with a dissociative disorder. though I did just find out game compatibility is way better than I thought, so that’s one roadblock down.

im usually the most tech savvy of my friends and no one I know is already using it. That’s kind of the situation I assume most people are in. no one they know is using Linux and for whatever reason they don’t have the ability or time to learn it themselves.

yeah we primarily watch on a Samsung TV through a PS5. I’m not seeing any alternatives for either device. I might be able to slap together a desktop from spare parts but I’m not sure I want to start maintaining a whole other computer.

Probably time to make a switch either way, what with them paywalling HDR and h.265

what’s with h265 that’s everyone’s acting like it’s some massive hurdle that you should have to pay to be able to use files with that encoding? that’s one of the things Plex has paywalled already and it’s becoming harder and harder to find good quality content that isn’t in that format.

what does “can’t beat the ride” mean in this context?

I agree with the “focused on fun” comment. feels more like ow1 where it was balanced by everything being broken.

personally, as someone who was absolutely in love with ow1, ow2 just isn’t the same to me. I’ve never been able to see it as anything other than the regrettable cash grab that it was. I could never really enjoy it. rivals tho? rivals is fun. and I don’t have that nagging voice in the back of my head telling me I’m just playing with the taxidermied corpse of a game I once loved.

also rivals is just kind of solid? the characters might be a little bland because corporatism and fitting an already designed mold but the game play is rather fun.

and im v much not a marvel fan, supeheros in general are just kind of meh. tbh the only superhero media I’ve vibed with at all is doom patrol. moon knight was p good but it doubles down on the “killer alter” stereotype and I’m so not here for that, nor do I like his gameplay in rivals.
