I just want to play fun games that have a great and comprehendible story.

They would also need to be natively made for PC (along with any other platform that the devs/pubs might want). I understand why console ports exist but one can wish.

Some AAA game examples/concerns off the top of my head:

MGS V ? Fun gameplay, couldn’t make head or tail of the story without viewing content from others, and still I feel it’s way too confusing.

AC ? Things were in a good direction from a story standpoint at one point in time years ago but they lost it, didn’t enjoy the new RPG-like direction as much either. Gameplay was a power fantasy thing I guess. Whether I like it or not is dependent on my mood during the session.

Skyrim ? Fun game, never got around to actually “finishing” the game because there would always be a break and I would entirely forget where and what I was doing earlier.

Souls-likes ? I don’t have a problem admitting that my skills are pretty sucky. Effort required to the rewards are pretty bad for me, and there is no particular story that I have seen other than community theories.

I’m working on my years long backlog, in case anyone wants to make recommendations it’ll probably take a long time for me to get to it if it isn’t in the current list…

My motorcycle.

It was bought due to a necessity.

I didn’t quite get the motorcycle I was looking for, and had to settle for this one from a different manufacturer. During the short test ride the problems were not glaring, it was when I rode it for a somewhat long duration that I came to know how bad it was. What’s worse is things changed and my necessity to need a personal mode of transport was eliminated, so I barely need to use it daily anymore. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tried getting a few modifications done to make it a more comfortable ride, and while it’s better than stock now it’s still not where I need it to be.

You and I are part of a very small user set. I would be happy with 5.5 inch screen as well if my SoT can be 8 hours or more.

Are you able to view YouTube at all with NoScript enabled ? When I tried it out last the page itself doesn’t load because everything is JS based.

Not quite sure about the On by default aspect; on my non-Google phone running stock android, it keeps asking me to enable RCS.

I keep clicking no because there’s a lot of ads pushed through RCS. This is annoying on top of the usual telemarketing stuff you might get due to phone numbers being sold.

Any particular resources that you trust to share proper information?

I got the joke, my response was in extension to it :)

Reading this, I’m not able to interpret what emotion applies here.

To get governments interested in it… for tracking it’s own netizens… because just about everyone is dealing with CSAM!

Like many people of the Lemmy-verse, I know how to drive a manual (can’t say I am best, or better than average even).

Cannot afford to own a car in this economy. Have a geared motorcycle tho.

Yep, it ran for a whole season.

Edit: I don’t remember which season it was on, it was a couple of seasons ago. Probably just after the Ben Swolo thing became popular.

The entire joke that Last Week Tonight with John Oliver ran about this was fantastic.

I was gonna write about the fascist aspects of the country, but I wouldn’t say that it’s something completely unknown; many of my peers are okay with fascism just because there is no centerist alternative, as what we have already seen leftists are not going to be better given the same amount of power.

When it comes to religion, it should have been a personal thing rather than systematically integrating it with each aspect of our lives like how it was initially intended.

Sometime earlier in my life I took a decision of not going to my place of worship; this helped decouple my belief in something bigger that I don’t understand, and a cult made by man.

Warez piracy is anyway not “stealing” since you’re not taking the digital item away, tis something which can be infinitely copied.

Like Adobe / Microsoft / Google / Meta / … maybe most large enterprises ? No question about it.

This didn’t tickle my fancy, but I can see why the videos are popular.

.7z is supported by most popular applications, and offers better compression than a .zip or .rar in my experience.

Unless you’re saying normally people rely on Windows Explorer for their (de)compression needs ? (⁠･⁠o⁠･⁠;⁠)

I think card view in a native app mainly works well for communities with high image/video content, other communities are okay either way.

When I used to use Reddit on my desktop’s browser the styling would typically be list view, because that was something which I was used to.

You could add Summoning Salt to this list. I’m not really otherwise interested in world record attempts, but something about his narration is so good.

Another fun addition could be Oversimplified.

I like the phrase “Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely”.

KOSA is not the only thing one should be worried about, illiterates from UK are bringing in an Online Safety Bill which needs all services with encryption to provide a backdoor for the UK government under the reasoning of “monitoring for CSAM content”.

This doesn’t just impact UK citizens, but will do for the world.

If I recall correctly, Australia did something similar.

Interesting to see how the 5-eyes try to push similar dumb ideas together.
