As long as you have fun with what you play

Shit, never mind. I play Dead by Daylight.

Seeing games I don’t play get affected by kernel anti-cheat just gives me this big self-serving biased perception that my taste in games is good.

Surely it’s not due to the increased accessibility of good video games and the decreased accessibility of good movies. Young people bad, have tiktok brain.

He’s in Multiversus now so the awareness for gamers is probably at an all-time high

having to use a Microsoft account to play

I mean… to play on most public servers, yeah, but there are certainly ways to play without an account.

It is, and as an autistic person I hereby give you all the R-word pass

From my understanding it’s pretty widely known that most intelligence agencies though something could happen but not the specifics, and chose not to act on that information or communicate with one another.

The exact reasons aren’t known obviously. My gut tells me incompetence/apathy from government agencies. That’s not a very cinematic or compelling answer, though, and I think a lot of people look for more interesting narratives.

Whenever a big tragedy like 9/11 happens, people tend to try and look for the Chekhov’s gun that shows a deeper meaning or dramatic orchestration. That’s just not real life though.

Had a Galaxy S8 and loved it. Got a Pixel 6 and now the slow fingerprint sensor is the bane of my existence. Why did they put it on the front? Why is that the standard now? It sucks, it’s just slower and less ergonomic.

I’m still using the 6 (regular) until it’s truly end of life, then if I don’t like what’s on offer I might just keep using LineageOS or something. I’m trying to reduce my reliance on Play Services right now so this is a long-term goal for me lol. Right now the 9 just turns me off with the half-baked AI garbage. Plus I don’t really want to drop a ton of money on a phone, now or in general.

Steam has an effective monopoly on open, marketplace-style launchers. EGS is their only real competitor and everyone hates it. GOG is years behind the curve and Amazon’s launcher barely exists. At this point in time, Steam is hardly considered third-party since it’s so ubiquitous.

Reddit is just karma-based ego battles with no room for actual discourse. Lemmy is small and highly community-oriented so no one cares about that stuff.

Someone’s post count does not influence anything about their experience with Lemmy.
