Corroded@leminal.spaceto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•The Sims and The Sims 2 officially return with a Legacy Collection for eachEnglish15·5 months agoI don’t think the official release has the shadow or resolution fixes and the IKEA stuff pack so I’d definitely go with the fan pack
Corroded@leminal.spaceto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•On Reddit, you had the "fake internet points". On Lemmy the points are totally real, but still worthless.English31·6 months agoI don’t think it is in Tesseract or Alexandrite but I feel like I vaguely recall Jerboa, the mobile app, having it.
Corroded@leminal.spaceto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•On Reddit, you had the "fake internet points". On Lemmy the points are totally real, but still worthless.English3·6 months agoI’m pretty sure you can do that on individual subreddits as well. Do you mean on an instance wide level?
Corroded@leminal.spaceto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Thumbs up is such a common emoji but almost nobody gives IRL thumbs up anymore.English2·6 months agoAll good. I made a similar extrapolation the other day about pudding not seeming as popular because I wasn’t seeing people eating it or it advertised but after voicing my thoughts to a coworker I realized I’m probably just not anywhere near the target market. I’m not a sugar crazed child watching children’s TV networks and nor do I have kids myself.

On Lemmy the points are totally real, but still worthless.English27·6 months agoI hope Lemmy’s internet points never become a thing people view as important. The way people act on Reddit to get a handful of up votes is embarrassing.
Corroded@leminal.spaceto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•On Reddit, you had the "fake internet points". On Lemmy the points are totally real, but still worthless.English10·6 months agoFor those that don’t know this is in reference to Reddit’s process of “vote fuzzing”. Most explanations online explain it as altering the votes to prevent things like rigging the vote or an individual going to someone else’s page and down voting everything they’ve posted or commented. I think in reality it’s more obtuse and erratic. I don’t know if the level of “fuzz” varies based off the age of the post or the total number of votes.
Corroded@leminal.spaceto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Thumbs up is such a common emoji but almost nobody gives IRL thumbs up anymore.English28·6 months agoI feel like this is a you thing. I bet if you started doing it around people others would start doing it without realizing.
Corroded@leminal.spaceOPto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Does anyone have advice on where I could find 4:3 copies of movies and TV shows to download?English1·7 months agoAre there collections of that or would I be doing what I am now and checking individual files?
Searching aspect ratio and 4:3 doesn’t seem to pull up much
Corroded@leminal.spaceOPto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Does anyone have advice on where I could find 4:3 copies of movies and TV shows to download?English1·7 months agoI think that may not be on them. I think it would be a matter of tweaking the FFmpeg core in RetroArch but I don’t know if it has live video cropping as a feature especially when within the confines of RetroArch. Scaling? Maybe but that’s not really what I’m after.
Searching online I am getting either command line options or unrelated results about CRT gaming.
Corroded@leminal.spaceto Gaming@lemmy.zip•Valve won't sacrifice battery life to deliver a more powerful Steam Deck 2English7·9 months agoI’m glad they aren’t planning on releasing incrementally upgraded devices.
Retroid makes a lot of handheld emulators that are decent quality but it feels like they release a new model every few months that’s just slightly better than the last. It’s an easy way to feel cheated and hesitant about what you’re buying.

Corroded@leminal.spaceOPto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•What's your experience with the sneakernet?English1·9 months agoWould the collection just keep growing or would you delete content? Maybe periodically so if you haven’t watched the new Bettlejuice movie within a couple weeks it would get deleted? Maybe they wouls hold onto stuff until you’ve got it and watched it?
The idea of versioning it with your family stash is neat
Corroded@leminal.spaceto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•How do VPN companies get away with DMCA?English3·9 months agoI feel like that’s a lot of boiler plate stuff. It reminds me of Tom Scott’s video on VPN sponsorships not admitting they can be used as tools for piracy
Corroded@leminal.spaceto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•You know you're close to falling asleep when your start remembering your dreams from previous nights...English4·9 months agoDefinitely annoying if you like to journal that kind of stuff. I’ve thought about putting a notebook next to my bed
Corroded@leminal.spaceOPto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Which movie/tv streaming site in the megathread is your favorite?English1·10 months agoI think they’re aware of your stash of full Family Guy episodes on Youtube featuring random zooms.
Also doesn’t the RIAA only cover the music industry?
Corroded@leminal.spaceOPto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Which movie/tv streaming site in the megathread is your favorite?English3·10 months agoThe obscure content thing is an issue I’ve run into especially looking for ~70s era sci-fi or horror movies that are regarded as cult classics or underrated online.
Corroded@leminal.spaceto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•*Permanently Deleted*English2·10 months agoIf you are looking for software you might want to look for websites that list open source projects.
I can’t really think of decent mega lists though. The FMHY one does have a lot of simply free things but it is mixed in with a lot of pirated content.
Corroded@leminal.spaceto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Everything on Lemmy is "NSFW" unless your work is to be on Lemmy.English2·1 year agoI once got flak for linking the NSFW source behind an image in a piracy community and someone got mad about it like your workplace is going to be thrilled about you looking for pirated content in a Fake Taxi meme
Corroded@leminal.spaceto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•We might see Microsoft adding ads to BSODEnglish1·1 year agoThe amount of conspiracy theories would be unreal
That’s how I ended up with so many games in my backlog
