Black Ops 1 is the absolute best point in the series.

The only question I have is why. Genuinely.

Debian exists. It has existed for decades. It works. “Oh but AI makes it faster” so fucking what? We didn’t need “faster” for years whilst it worked fine, it’s not a product on a deadline.

Didn’t fucking Japan make illegal to have drawings of Csam?

Not really, you’d see the doujinshi community having a breakdown.

Several Windows 11 updates are great, actually. They corrupted the OS and made it unable to boot, which given it’s Windows, not booting makes the experience better.

Calibre fork withou AI and fully Qt based when?

Nintendo isn’t the reason at all, Witcher and Cyberpunk aren’t censored on Switch.

People are making an extra effort to make others aware that CoMaps exist and you don’t need Organic Maps.

You can develop black and white film at home using coffee. Developing nudes this way sounds kinda hot.

I went from cutting edge tech excited nerd to literally this picture, and life is better.

That’s a widespread myth and absolutely false.

I read comments like yours and always thought it was hyperbole, then I became a bioinformatics teacher.

Not hyperbole. iOS and Android destroyed future generation’s ability to understand traditional computing.

They can’t unzip a file, they can’t navigate a directory hierarchy deeper than one level, they can’t reply to an email without replying to all recipients.

A class about BLAST had to become a class about how to install a program on Windows.

I settled down on the specific sweet spot I like, and accept no further.

Small, digital, single purpose devices. I don’t go back to analog, but do not embrace smart devices, always on, surveillance, subscriptions, premium tiers, one year cycles.

Digital FLAC player, wired headphones, digital watch, digital camera, portable emulator. All digital, all techie, all could have been in my backpack in 2007. Peaceful, functional, sometimes I buy lithium cells and replace the batteries.

Its a CDPR game so better to get it three years later once the bugs are fixed, at least 50% of the promised features are implemented and the price drops by a half with the DLC included.

I’d rather be a mountain hermit eating raw roots than use computing through a Microsoft web based operating system

I have the same model, lasts longer than most because its truly sealed, even the charging is magnetic rather than gold contacts.

But don’t leave it on the base 24/7, this helps the battery.

Porn stars rarely even have the opportunity for pleasure during filming.

Men are taking penile injections to increase performance, having to stop and cut the video several times. Women are using numbing gels to handle filming the scenes without much pain. Everything is awkward to angle it proper for the camera.

I come back to Lemmy after 6 months and immediately read this.

So that was a mistake.

why though

I’m actually exhausted at the hypersexualization of media.

I’m not a prude, I’m glad to live in a time where a sex scene can show up uncensored in a TV show. Adult content made for adults, sure, go nuts.

But must everything now have as much sex as possible to sell? Why must every game, every social media feed, every manga, every book, be filled with excessive porn? The problem is not gooner bait existing, the problem is everything becoming gooner bait

It’s still nothing like what it was promised to be, in fact. Sure, they added a lot of free content, a lot of updates, I’m sure fans are enjoying them… but it’s not what was promised as already in the game before launch.

Another fake redemption story is Cyberpunk. They fixed some of the bugs to make it playable, revamped the skill tree, and added paid DLC… cool? That doesn’t change the fact the game is missing half of the promised content, including some that was on the trailers.
