I’m probably going to regret asking this, but is Destiny 2 a game you can jus buy the latest expansion for and jump in? Or is there no point coming back / starting this late in the game? I played it at launch and have sort of played an expansion or two but had no idea what the story is even then so not worried about understanding what’s actually going on.

@andyn With the last expansion, I tried coming back. Basically watched two very long YouTube videos and then started playing the DLCs backwards on PS5.

Preferably games that are not rereleased on Steam or similar.

I have been setting up the Mini for the last couple of hours, and this Vita lookalike is so beautiful.

Just look at it next to my Vita.

Finally done setting up the Mini. -DE installed, added Android apps to and set it as my default launcher, added all my ROMs, set up all emulators and scraped metadata.

So...I successfully acquired a rewritable HDMI 2.1 dummy plug.

I rewrote its firmware to behave like a display with the native resolution of the 13" iPad Pro, including 120Hz refresh rate and 1,600 nits peak brightness for HDR.

Games that support the 4:3 aspect ratio now look incredible in Moonlight with HDR and no more black bars around them. 😎

@viticci @Unranged what eGPU? 👀

Yesterday I needed to record 60 minutes of footage with my Logitech webcam connected to the M4 iPad Pro.

"Great", I thought, "I'll use Camo Studio". (Which is a really nice app.)

But because I chose the Files app as a destination to save the video...I'll let you guess what happened at the end.

I lost the entire recording.

(For context: this never happened with Photos as a destination.)

@viticci to be fair, MD is a also MegaDrive extension. I hate it it, too. https://docs.libretro.com/library/genesis_plus_gx/

Either my Apple Watch Ultra is dying, or since getting a tattoo on my hand and arm, it locks itself regularly.

@biou apparently, and apparently these watches aren’t that smart.

I’m mostly experimenting this early, so I learned I dislike working with natural light.

However, I’ve also learned I like doing YouTube a lot.

This headline made me wonder how many online services actually support the ability to bequeath your account to others in your will? It can’t be a lot.

Are there any?

cliophate,
@cliophate@overkill.social avatar

@Kierkegaanks @carnage4life this just means Valve doesn’t help you recover the passwords. If you share them before you die, they won’t do anything against it.

@aZa1905 @Kierkegaanks @carnage4life how would they know?

If you’re using , double check the emails you get from them.

This is all phishing.

While DuckDuckGo’s search results seem fine; I kept on getting results that when clicked, redirect to MSN and ask me to install some app.

And sure; since it uses the Bing API, the whole thing is down today.

Not great.

@mako why I switched to Kagi.

The frustrating part to all this LLM hype, is that buried beneath the gold rush, snake oil and wacko stuff going on, there’s something actually interesting with them as a tool to expand your toolkit.

Approaching it with critical thinking and understanding, I have generally found them to be useful to brainstorm with. Not something that replaces the work, but something that can be used to help you think a little differently, seems to be the best of approach right now. IMHO, of course..

@matt @mako I got into local image creation via Stable Diffusion recently and that completely flipped how I think about AI.

Filmed my second YouTube video. Tried something new: standing, natural light, more “action shots”. Will see how this one turns out.
