Big fan of SBC gaming, open source engine recreations/source ports, gaming in general, alternative operating systems, and all things modding.

I am still using Lemmy but have been using it intermittently for about a year now. If you have questions or concerns about a community I am moderating please send me a message and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.

  • Are protestors in Iran aware of Briar? Would using Briar to communicate via bluetooth be a viable option with the country's current jamming technology?

  • I believe it also requires you to have an individual as a contact to synchronize messages.

  • What's a good VR headset these days (and other VR hardware questions) ?

    Jump

  • Personally you need to decided what features are important to you. From my understanding anything connected to Meta requires logging into Facebook to use. For me that is a big no not to mention that I’m a linux user.

    That reminds me of Oculess. I've never really looked too much into it but I wonder how well it works.

  • What form of entertainment, movie, music, tv, video game etc that you were excited about only after it came out did you realize it was trash?

    Jump

  • Outer Worlds. Not really a spoiler but it felt linear as hell up until the very end

  • What went wrong with Far Cry 6? I've heard it's pretty mid and I haven't heard much about it since which leads me to assume it's not even memorably bad or good

  • I was holding out hope until recently that things would be improved with updates kind of like No Man's Sky or through DLC like what Phantom Liberty did for Cyberpunk 2077.

    I haven't read a lot of reviews because I like going into games blind but from what I've heard a lot of the issues really seem baked into the core of the game.

  • What makes good memes? What are facts about meme history you want to share ?

  • What is your favorite hack?

    Jump

  • Maybe the blog that is hosted on a Nintendo Wii. It's not the most practical hack but I find console modding really neat and the "because I can" style projects are particularly fascinating to me.

    Some other favorite hacks are a bit more practical and have to do with extending the life of existing products. RebbleOS, for example, is an open source firmware that took off after Pebble shutdown following their acquisition by FitBit in 2016. It's allowed people to continue using their e-ink Pebble watches largely unchanged. They can still do things like fetch the weather and voice dictation.

  • On a related note for anyone interested there are a lot of programs out there for using other peripherals such as webcams, Xbox 360 Kinects, PSVR cameras and headsets, and so on for VR on PC.

    iVRy Driver and Driver4VR are some pretty popular paid programs on Steam that assist with the setup process.

    /r/PSVRHack is neat if you are in that ecosystem.

  • If you play a multiplayer game, and lose, who is the author of your defeat?

    Jump

  • It depends if I feel the death is deserved and if I'm having fun.

    If I'm playing something like Battlefield and keep dying because of someone's skills with a plane I'm fine with that and it definitely feels like it's on me. If it's someone sliding around shipment in Call of Duty mobile killing me as soon as I spawn and I'm lucky if I end their kill streak I feel like that's on the game because of baked in mechanics being frustrating to counter.

    I would say it's definitely the most noticeable with games like Elden Ring. I suck so bad at them but I feel like I deserve each death and don't feel irritated by dying.

    It's only in situations where someone is hacking that I would actually blame another player.

    A shortish review of Fallout 76 + Does anyone on PC want to play together?

  • What acronyms are you annoyed to see take on other meanings?

    Jump

  • Isn't an initialism a subcategory of acronym by definition?

  • What acronyms are you annoyed to see take on other meanings?

    Jump

  • Is that correct? I think by definition an initialism can be considered a form of acronym. The way I worded the question includes those subsets of acronyms

  • What acronyms are you annoyed to see take on other meanings?

    Jump

  • Another one that came to mind is TF2. I like Titanfall 2 more than Team Fortress 2 but I associate the acronym with Team Fortress 2.

  • What's your take on the bots here?

    Jump

  • I wish there was an option to turn off link-only posts. At least have something in the body of the post. Maybe a quote or a TLDR. Otherwise it just feels like a bot posting.

  • What's your take on the bots here?

    Jump

  • I am not a fan. I don't like link dumps. It doesn't create a discussion and the article or whatever is being relayed might be total shit and there could be better or more direct sources.

    If I saw a Hackaday article about a neat project on GitHub I wouldn't just post the article with the original title. I would probably link the GitHub page and in the body of the post link the article with a quote and maybe post similar projects in case people are interested.

    I specifically dislike the bots that repost content from Reddit. The communities they post to feel fake and end up receiving so many posts actual Lemmy users posting to them get washed away in the flood.

    It's not a big deal for some communities (ex. Nature photos) but doesn't make sense for discussion focused ones.

    I block those bots

  • Disappointed

  • Is anyone surprised by this? I feel like similar things have happened in the past with back breeding

  • It reminds me a bit of Garmin acquiring Pebble and discontinuing support. This does sound significantly worse though

  • [PSA] Lemmy account deletion is a mess

    Jump

  • OP is expecting the deletion of posts and comments to federate in the same ways posting them would. I don't think they're necessarily going scorched earth and care about someone quoting their comment in a reply or resharing a photo.

    I think that's a bit grandiose of a stance. If I misread what someone said or realized someone already said what I did I don't think deleting it leads to any kind of growth.

    That's setting aside how draining it can be to reply to several people who are making the same argument about how you are wrong. If I couldn't delete what I posted at that point I would just be creating a slew of edits to justify myself like people regularly do on Reddit whenever they get downvoted.

  • [PSA] Lemmy account deletion is a mess

    Jump

  • But that's not what is being talked about. I don't think OP is expecting an all or nothing situation. You're talking like you've never deleted anything online

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world
    Corroded @leminal.space

    Would you be interested in and engage with a Lemmy community for video game mods and modding?

  • raspberrypi @lemmy.ml
    Corroded @leminal.space

    Are there any neat cases for the Raspberry Pi 3B+?

  • Fediverse @lemmy.world
    Corroded @leminal.space

    One thing I hope to see in the Fediverse is people engaging with old content
