Wooster, to nintendo in How can I get my Switch better connected to the Internet?
@Wooster@startrek.website avatar

I would recommend looking into a USB Ethernet adapter.

Wooster, to apple_enthusiast in What adblocker are you using on iOS?
@Wooster@startrek.website avatar

I liked to use a three tiered approach…

Back when we could jailbreak our iPhones I’d use this and overwrite the system’s hosts file. I still use it on my Mac, even if I can’t on iOS anymore.

A VPN is an excellent solution, but when selecting one, you have to read the privacy policy and NOT give the policy the benefit of the doubt. I’ve seen a few that give themselves permission to share your info while making it sound reasonable. I use lockdown personally.

For Safari Extensions, 1Blocker is what ai currently use.

Feels like XKCD prior to XKCD… or however you spell it.

According to the article, it won’t qualify for the federal tax incentive, so yeah… probably.

Wooster, to nintendo in [Official] Switch 2 will be announced this fiscal year + June direct confirmed
@Wooster@startrek.website avatar

Star Fox tends to launch at the end of a console’s life… so there’s that maybe.

Sakurai has been up to something… probably the next Smash, but I can always dream it’s a new or even remade Kid Icarus.

And probably some last minute WiiU ports.

Metroid Prime 4 is probably too high profile to leave to the switch… (and Mario hasn’t had a launch title since the N64, maybe GCN at a stretch) but they could always pull a Twilight Princess I suppose.

Wooster, to news in Judge holds Trump in contempt for violating gag order in hush money trial
@Wooster@startrek.website avatar

So $9K?

For the layman, that’s a lot, but for Trump?

This reads like a damage control spin.

We’re losing, but actually winning!

Wooster, to apple_enthusiast in I'm shocked how much the Appstore sucks in 2024
@Wooster@startrek.website avatar

This is a large reason why I dreaded Apple making iOS apps a priority for the Mac. Everything wrong about the mobile model becomes a first class citizen.

Wooster, to apple_enthusiast in Apple Vision Pro Customer Interest Dying Down at Some Retail Stores
@Wooster@startrek.website avatar

Yeah… there were a bunch of issues with the Virtual Boy.

A Sudo 3D experience on hardware that couldn’t handle 3D graphics, needed to be setup on a table, and a color palette that made the GameBoy seem high fidelity, never mind the red was horrid to stare at for too long.

It really was ahead of its time… in all the wrong ways.

I suspect, nothing less than Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft going all in on their next generation console would be enough to bring VR mainstream. As in, the VR being the primary way to play.

Of the three, I can’t see Sony or Microsoft doing it.

Maybe Nintendo, as doing weird stuff is kinda their thing, but even that’s doubtful.

Wooster, to asklemmy in What is a bad writing trope you hate in fantasy fiction ?
@Wooster@startrek.website avatar

This is specific to the videogame-ish sub-genre, mostly Isakeis…

But you go out of the way to include RPG mechanics into your story… but the only real influence it has on the storytelling is spending an inordinate amount of time grinding… a mechanic explicitly added to RPGs to pad the game.

There are good video game based stories, Survival Story of a Sword King and Dungeon Reset both immediately come to mind… but I feel like this is a widespread problem.

It makes you wonder if Larson knew he had a reoccurring character

Wooster, to news in Donald Trump's $175m bond rejection raises questions
@Wooster@startrek.website avatar

TBH, I would be surprised if Jones has those answers. Trump is SUPPOSED to be keeping Jones appraised of such happenings, but since when has he cared for protocol, and when has he ever been held accountable?

Wooster, to evs in Ford Mustang Mach-E Sales Soar After Discounts, Proving Cheap EVs Are the Way Forward
@Wooster@startrek.website avatar

From what I can tell, it’s still in the ~$50,000 range.

I don’t really see how that can be considered ’cheap’.
