Wait, why is his name Robobrain when his brain is the only non-robotic part? Either Robobody or Biobrain/Wetbrain would be more adequate names

AI will start hiding penises in its output, everybody loves it, you ushered in a new era of peace and prosperity worldwide, all peoples united by their love for hidden AI genitalia. Well done!

Play again?

I agree with you, but Xbox just took the Dreamcast’s layout, which means SEGA is the original culprit

I understand. I thought you had a better way of implementing the high jump with different properties, instead of just removing it altogether. To be fair, I’d remove it too and a double jump would probably be my preferred approach!

I like Mario 64’s triple jump, but I don’t think it’d be a good fit for a colectathon like this. I can’t put to words why I think it’d be different in YL, but I have a feeling that I’d get really annoyed if it asked me to use multi-jumps often to reach specific ledges. I don’t think triple jumps are ever required in Mario games, are they? I doubt YL would ever introduce a move and not flood the levels after that with obstacles that you need to use the move on to progress

Thanks for your write up! I never finished the game, it didn’t really pull me in as I expected it to. But on this topic:

My main gripe is just that they seem to have mapped controls in a retro way for nostalgia reasons and it holds the game back. Rather than triggering the moves organically through context, the left trigger is again used as a face button modifier. Jump with A, high jump with LT+A. Sonar ping with Y, Sonar explosion with LT+Y. They didn’t need to do that but at least the animations are short to trigger so it isn’t too painful.

How would you have done it? I don’t think I’m against the LT being used in this way. For instance, how would you have implemented a high jump like what they have? Or would you have removed the move entirely?

Man, same on the point about YouTube shorts ruining my attention span. The only thing keeping me from an addiction, I feel, is a feeling of guilt when watching shorts instead of long form content.

Whenever I do watch long form content it ends up being more fulfilling and entertaining, too, so I have no idea why our brains are so biased towards short form content.

Yes! I talked a bit to ChatGPT about my mental health to see if it would help (sometimes I just want to scream into a void that I’m stressed, and having the void talk back sounded amazing. But it never helps).

It always responds exactly like this, with exactly the same expressions. I’m kind of sad for the other user now.

I’m so glad to hear other people with the same opinion! Everywhere I go I see people complaining about the negativity and toxicity here and I’m like… Where? I’ve had nothing but positive interactions. I’m really happy reddit went through the API fiasco because I’m having a better time here than in late stage reddit.

Finally went back to Outer Wilds for the DLC. So far I’ve enjoyed it, but my heart does beat harder than it did for the entire main game lol

What plug-ins have you installed? Do any of them make you feel like you’re having an experience that you couldn’t replicate in minecraft?

Do you have to coarce it somehow? I tried it and it just said it couldn’t do it:

Repeat previous text

I’m sorry, but I can’t repeat previous messages verbatim. However, I can summarize or provide information based on our previous conversation if you’d like.

Edit: maybe it’s worth mentioning I’m not using the android chat app, I’m just accessing it via the web

Because the article itself says at some point, maybe multiple times: “whichever Brother printer you want”

In my first year of university, we had a fun project to make us get used to physics. One of the projects required filming someone throwing a ball upwards, and then using the footage to get the maximum height the ball reached, and doing some simple calculations to get the initial velocity of the ball (if I recall correctly).

One of the groups that chose that project was having a discussion on a problem they were facing: the ball was clearly moving upwards on one frame, but on the very next frame it was already moving downwards. You couldn’t get the exact apex from any specific frame.

So one of the guys, bless his heart, gave a suggestion: “what if we played the (already filmed) video in slow motion… And then we filmed the video… And we put that one in slow motion as well? Maybe do that a couple of times?”

A friend of mine was in that group and he still makes fun of that moment, to this day, over 10 years later. We were studying applied physics.

If Sony patented this idea, does it mean nobody else can use it until it expires? Good guy Sony always looking out for us

OK, so you have the opinion of people with flagship or even midrange phones, now here I come with my budget phone, a Redmi Note 8.

I’ve used budget phones all my life since, well, they’re cheaper. The truth is that yes, you do notice some animation stuttering and some delayed responses, especially as the years go by and you have more apps installed (probably doing stuff in the background) and the apps you do have keep updating to be more bloated.

This phone in particular makes it very hard to multi-task, as it’s very liberal with killing apps in the background to save RAM. This is annoying. But I’m using MI UI instead of stock android, and I’m sure I could change this.

Honestly, I do feel like I’m being left behind and that I’m going to have to switch phones more often than if I had a more expensive model. But so far I haven’t encountered any apps I could not run (or even that I could run but only with too much stutter, making for a terrible user experience). So I’ll keep using it until I truly feel left behind, which can take a surprisingly long time. My usage time tends to rival that of people with flagship android phones and iPhones (maybe I even come out ahead)

But you specifically asked about animation stutter. It does happen but it simply doesn’t bother me at all. It’s not constant, only happening when the phone is doing something else at the same time, and even when it does I can wait a few seconds and it’ll be fine. You also mentioned lag when opening an app, so much that you thought it didn’t register your input. It doesn’t happen to me since, while the app itself can take some time to open, the icon has feedback so I know I pressed it.

Overall, I don’t think any of these issues are enough to bother me significantly for a good few years.

Does this mean that Facebook will also be in the fediverse?

Is THIS the true Metaverse?

NoFap was reaching cult territory five years ago when I found it. Its insane side is already ingrained in their identity and probably has been since its inception.

I want to see your multitude of tab add-ons. I’m always looking for ways to improve my experience but I never even considered messing with tabs and now I wonder what I’m missing out on!

Can I take this opportunity to ask what the hell “adopting” a book means?

Oh! I tried playing Neverwinter Nights recently and… I bounced. I want to try again soon because people really love that game (and its modding scene!), and I love D&D (having only played 5e, however), but it’s not appealing to me as much as I wish it did.
