2020 never ended. There is no “normalcy” to return to.

This time I have only been playing Super Smash Bros Ultimate on my Switch. I feel like there is always a lot to learn in that game.

Dang it! Lemm.ee was formed in summer 2023 alongside the other instances that became the Lemmyverse’s biggest, sad to see it go. Thank you for everything!

Randy Pitchford being a walking PR problem and a condescending prick towards gamers isn’t really helping the situation. He alone doesn’t want me to play any of the games in the series.

Enderal and Tetris 99

That Carlin clip has been circulated in various alternative medicine quackery communities for a long time, I doubt RFK Jr. has any media literacy. The similar notion has somewhat entered in mainstream discourse with the concept of “immunity debt”.

I think RFK thinks that swimming in contaminated water somehow helps build immunity.

The bigger your backlog of games is right now, the better. No need to buy new games for a looooong time.

Been playing Enderal for the last three weeks or so. Downright impressive RPG, blows Skyrim out of the water easily. Made by indies, but AAA quality, and free of all things!

Feels like 2020 never ended.

Sperm racer came immediately into my mind.

Those two are real GG Allin songs.

To think of it, “Cyanide Ice Cream and Cum Soup” would fit really well right next to “Needle Up My Cock” and “Expose Yourself to Kids”.

“Cyanide Ice Cream and Cum Soup” sounds like an album title for a GWAR-style shock rock band.

There’s WriteFreely for example. There’s also Plume, but looks like it’s not actively maintained anymore.

Exactly. It’s ridiculous how UE5 has tools like Nanite that should free developers from previously time-consuming chores such as creating LOD meshes and provide great performance at the same time. Instead it leads to performance problems and the developers may not optimize their games properly. The resulting game needs to render at a lower base resolution like fucking 720p and upscale from that using AI, add some bad anti-aliasing and the overall image quality is blurry. This has to be done, as otherwise the game’s performance will barely reach stable 30 FPS, even on new GPUs with all the bells and whistles. Oh, and if the game can’t reach 60 FPS? No worry, there’s AI frame generation! We were supposed to live in times of realistic graphics with great performance, but all we get is tools to circumvent bad performance and image quality resulting from bad optimization.

And a guestbook, just like in the old times! I sent my regards.

Thanks for showing me that, fixed!

2019 alone might as well be 10 years ago.
