I’d honestly suggest using your ears and deciding if you can tell the difference. My music library is under 20GB so I do not fuss too much, but I am not truly sure I can tell the difference.

You can get extensions which make the homepage redirect to your subscriptions page. Lifesaver imo.

I’ve got a Switch and a Deck, and I can’t fathom all these replies saying the Deck is just as good for Switch. It’s not, and it’s not worth playing games at 90 or 95% performance when you want 100% performance. “Playable” to “native performance” is such a big step. Plus, it costs more.

Subscribe to Disney Plus and also trial Anystream. So long as the service has dubs, you can pick and choose what gets embedded in your download (720p max). You will need a license for a show that long, but the trial can prove it works on a few episodes.

You can download the books you buy with credits, and also anything currently in the Plus catalogue. I’ve found this very helpful as they remove things from the Plus catalog with very short notice periods, so you may not get to finish books you start. (And I remember stuff like how Salman Rushdie books were removed when he was in the news from the assassination attempt. Maybe that was publishers seeing dollar signs not Amazon, idk, but it was gross. Same when Sean Lock died.)

Back in the day, if you wanted a drop shadow you added it in photoshop… And saved as jpg

Nah, I replayed it and it is still great. (And I don’t replay many games!) Like rereading a good book.

It’s a puzzle game of working out how to complete your to-do list, so that the next area unlocks. Beyond its meme status, I do think it’s a very smartly designed puzzler, with lots of experimentation and observation.

A lot of people are posting games that are short and linear. But to match your energy, games that cannot be replayed unless you forget what you learn;

• Case of the Golden Idol is a mystery/deduction game, a la Obra Dinn.

• Toki Tori 2 is a puzzle metroidvania, where you can do your full moveset from the start - tweet and stomp. Right from the first screen, big chunks of the map can be shortcut through once you put your later learnings into practice.

Epic funded that and allowed them to take the risk. In that case they’re the good guys, so I don’t see the point in being a hardliner about their store. Use Playnite if you are adamant about having all your games in one launcher!

Weird, I have permanent access to Samurai Champloo on my Jellyfin server. I would have paid given the option, but, y’know, they wouldn’t sell this kind of service.

Our customer support is full of (older) people buying stuff from us. Not everyone likes using websites when a phone will work!

Cheers for the citation

I guess it’s the one I care least about that I listed. Substitute in the overtly racist subreddits, if you wish, as they surely didn’t deserve a platform.

Seems like one to be wary of reviews for. At each publication, the person who enjoyed part 1 will be excitedly picking up this job, while anyone who disliked part 1 will be passing. I guess the main benefit is it matches the audience; if you didn’t like part 1, reviews won’t convince you this is worth it.

On balance, I like that they’re deviating from the original. I dislike that the main deviation is padding it into 3 games.

The myth of Aaron Swartz continues…

He was a big proponent of free speech absolutism. He’d have been more than happy with the jailbait subs, watchpeopledie, fatpeoplehate etc. I really don’t think he deserves a free pass just because Reddit wasn’t enshittifying while he was around, as it was in a growth phase. It had other problems which needed resolution.

Not really, except for where they re-take your biometrics to confirm. More often, biometrics get turned into digital info which can’t be changed. If a scammer gets your DNA biometric, tough shit, you’re now unable to change it and deny the scammer access. It is a huge boon for some forms of fraud.

Windows’ relentless backwards compatibility is underrated, but it’s so damn nice I can still play games from 2005 effortlessly. Android has been a shitshow in comparison, as even when mobile gaming wasn’t so shit (Doodle Jump, Angry Birds etc), the whole era has been almost wiped from existence.

I wonder if it could scoop up images when listed as a series, before moving it to your Movies folder. Would need the setting turned on to keep images in the content folder. The textual metadata would need adding manually either way, but could be a shortcut.

I wish I gave a shit about any of their games so I could boycott properly.
