tiramichu@sh.itjust.worksto Games@lemmy.world•A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?English5·3 days agoWow yeah. That must have been a really infuriating gameplay issue, no wonder players were upset with it.
A shame the game was so rushed or I’m sure the dev would have fixed that in code.
tiramichu@sh.itjust.worksto Linux@lemmy.ml•What is your most useful Linux app which others might not know about (please don't just give the name but a link and why it is good for you) ?1·3 days agoReading your comment I got worried about disk writes, so I’m glad this info is on the website:
Replay data is stored in RAM by default but there is an option to store it on disk instead.
Sensible design decision, because writing video to your SSD 24/7 wouldn’t do anything good for the lifespan of the drive.

tiramichu@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•Matrix.org is Introducing Premium AccountsEnglish481·4 days agoMatrix org isn’t obligated to run a public instance at all - they could stick to developing the spec, and let other people run instances.
And honestly maybe they should, because then we wouldn’t have this huge consolidation problem on matrix.org in the first place.
tiramichu@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•Salt Lake City, plans to implement AI-assisted 911 call triaging to handle ~30% of about 450K non-emergency calls per yearEnglish22·5 days agoPromoting that the nunber exists as a actual thing people should use is good, yeah. :)
The actual number isn’t so important, though. If ever needed to call the non-emergency number I’d search it up, which fortunately I can do given I’ve got loads of time because it’s not an emergency.
tiramichu@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•Salt Lake City, plans to implement AI-assisted 911 call triaging to handle ~30% of about 450K non-emergency calls per yearEnglish782·5 days agoFor sure.
If they’ve got a problem with non-emergency callers dialing 911, surely it would be best to try and reduce that problem through other means (such as fining persistent inappropriate use of 911)
I don’t want to talk to a robot when I’m on the floor dying.
I loved that app and I still miss it (and reddit) in some ways, but the API Apocalypse was when I decided I had to take a moral stand and quit. No way was I going to be railroaded into the first-party app full of ads and nonsense.
I haven’t looked back since.
tiramichu@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•AOSP isn't dead, but Google just landed a huge blow to custom ROM developersEnglish1·6 days agoI agree with you, it’s insidious.
Given you’ve got a Pixel phone, you can save at least yourself from this problem by running Graphene or Calyx on it.
tiramichu@sh.itjust.worksOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which Video Game was most influential on you as a child, and why?1·7 days agoI haven’t! I may give it a shot :)
tiramichu@sh.itjust.worksOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which Video Game was most influential on you as a child, and why?1·8 days agoYou should definitely go back, it’s so fun to learn about the inscrutable manual pages.
Rather than feeling like I was four, my experience was more like as if I was a kid in the 90s and my Dad was a businessman who brought home Zelda from Japan but it was all in Japanese and I didn’t know Japanese lol.
One thing to note about Tunic is that it has really good accessibility options. You can go in and give yourself extra hearts, or you can even turn on invincibility if you are really struggling and need to.get past a tough part sonyou can continue with the.story :)
tiramichu@sh.itjust.worksOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which Video Game was most influential on you as a child, and why?2·8 days agoI have a soft spot for Myst too, so I totally understand this. I own the “big box” PC versions of all the Myst games up until V (Revelations) which are the only big box games I still kept. It was magical to me at the time, Riven especially which I used to play together with my mother so there’s fond memories there.
tiramichu@sh.itjust.worksOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which Video Game was most influential on you as a child, and why?2·8 days agoWhat a twist :) I like it when games subvert your expectations
tiramichu@sh.itjust.worksOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which Video Game was most influential on you as a child, and why?3·8 days agoIt’s great that you can trace your love of music back to that specific game. Go ahead and share! I’m not really a musical person myself and only just started learning piano as my first ever instrument. That’s one childhood regret I’m working on fixing :)
tiramichu@sh.itjust.worksOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which Video Game was most influential on you as a child, and why?3·8 days agoI think as adults we’re still looking for a game that recaptures that childhood wonder.
One game that comes very close is Tunic, which is a zeldalike with a lot of spirit. I won’t spoil it for you or anyone else who may not have played, but it’s brilliant and I highly recommend it.
Best enjoyed on a lazy Saturday morning snuggled in a blanket pretending you’re nine years old again.
tiramichu@sh.itjust.worksOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which Video Game was most influential on you as a child, and why?2·8 days agoI love how you didn’t mean to read the whole book but totally got captured haha. Definitely a formative experience :)
tiramichu@sh.itjust.worksOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which Video Game was most influential on you as a child, and why?2·8 days agoI’d never heard of that game or the associated editor, but it seems fascinating.
I just had a poke around on the site, and it gives me some very good and happy vibes of how websites used to be, and the cosy communities that they hosted where all the regulars knew each other by name. Or by handle rather, since nobody ever uses their real name on the Internet, right? ;) Good times.
tiramichu@sh.itjust.worksOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which Video Game was most influential on you as a child, and why?3·8 days agoInfluential how? :)
I’m two ways about this.
In recent years I’ve become quite a coffee lover. I’ve experimented with a lot of brewing methods, and got into small batch beans from.independent roasters, with interesting qualities like being aged in whisky barrels (that one tastes and smells sooo good)
At the same time though I grew up in a family where the only coffee my parents ever drank was instant - a teaspoon of granules with some hot water and milk and maybe sugar. When I go over there to visit that’s what I’ll get, and I’m not going to turn my nose up at it. In some ways it’s got that taste of nostalgia lol.
