Games@lemmy.world•Sony wants to buy your PS5 for up to $400 if you’re not using itEnglish
1·7 hours agoHonestly, I think it’s really the rate in which big games are being released tied up with console exclusives that has people upset.
If I’m going to just play indie games there isn’t much reason to use a PS5 for that (or maybe that’s not the type of games most people care about).
I know in my household we talked about getting a PS5, but the only game that’s out that I slightly care about is Wolverine. Not only did it just get okay reviews, but it’s not worth $700+ to play a single game.
God of War or Ghosts of Tushima might have been tempting, but they’re now on PC, where I won’t have to worry a out backwards compatability in the future.

Games@lemmy.world•Sony wants to buy your PS5 for up to $400 if you’re not using itEnglish
19·18 hours agoThe PS5 has 25 exclusives (only on ps5) according to Wikipedia. However, a few of the games listed have a release date in the future and a handful more are re-releases or not full games. Going through the list, it looks like less than 10 that have already released, aren’t a remake, and are full games.
So if you’re just going off the game library, that’s a harder sell. Obviously there are other reasons to buy a PS5, but the benefits of consoles over PCs seems to be getting smaller and smaller.

memes@lemmy.world•Seems like they worked fine for decades before the internet
2·18 hours agoI wonder if this is going to cause an increase in local networks for these kinds of things. If you have it on network not connected to the internet you solve like 99% of security issues.

News@lemmy.world•Mississippi voters report problems amid heavy midterm turnout
5·1 day agoWeather might help Democrats, but in general a lot of red states will screw with the number and location of polling stations in heavily blue districts to supress votes. So if the issue is structural that can be a good indication that Republican voter manipulation worked.
This is Mike Johnson, he’s the Speaker of the House, so he’d be running for House Minority Leader as he’s not a senator.

News@lemmy.world•Kansas and Missouri ballots read at a college sophomore level
3·3 days agoIt’s kinda funny, but the one thing you did nitpick is wrong. Pension funds do invest in stocks/bonds/etc. The biggest issue with calling it a pension fund is that it’s not for retirement. But by all accounts it’s just a sovereign wealth fund though. The tricky part of the language is they aren’t just voting on a wealth fund, but the regulations on the fund too.

Technology@lemmy.world•The 16GB Raspberry Pi 5 got another ‘unavoidable’ RAM price hikeEnglish
5·3 days agoFor Halloween I used an orangepi (cause of cost, but would not recommend due to support) to install an LCD eye in a skeleton that tracks people using a object detection model. Additionally it’s setup with some voice commands/interactions.
Overall that means holding 3+ ML models in ram (yolo, whisper, Vad, etc.). That basically uses up all the RAM I have and before optimizations was actually causing the chip to overheat (was able to fix that, but still hits the cpu pretty hard).
Yeah, here’s a snopes article on it - snopes

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•When Coyote vs ACME got resurrected after it was completed , why not Batgirl movie be resurrected?
5·6 days agoTwo major issues:
- Batgirl would conflict with the new DCEU
- Batgirl was still in post production, so still needed a lot of work to be “finished”, unlike Coyote vs Acme which was apparently completed when it was shelved.

It’s maybe not quite as polished as Odyssey, but I recently played “Big Hops” and it’s the closest game to Odyssey I’ve played.

Yeah, I was going to say something similar. What job you take, where you decide to live, friends you make all have a risk/reward element to them.
That being said I do believe there is a big difference between polymarket/prediction markets and stocks (or at least some stocks). Prediction markets is either betting on pure chance or against insider knowledge. Technically stocks should be seen as investing in a company (especially ones that pay dividends). Could a company run into hard times and lose you money, sure, but there is at least a bit more freely available information on that available to you.

Technology@lemmy.world•Solar Panels Are Now Producing So Much Power That They’re Leaving Nuclear Plants in the Dust: "Solar is now the engine of the power transition."English
2·7 days agoI’m not talking about price, I’m talking about generation.
I have solar panels, they are great. However, I get too much energy in the summer, not nearly enough in the winter, and no power at night. Since I’m on a grid that doesn’t matter too much for me, but highlights some of the issues.
Even if I installed a battery, I’d end up with extra power in the summer and not enough in the winter. Which just highlights the discrepancy in production. Batteries obviously help solve this, but some mixture of wind/nuclear/other is needed.

Technology@lemmy.world•Solar Panels Are Now Producing So Much Power That They’re Leaving Nuclear Plants in the Dust: "Solar is now the engine of the power transition."English
8·8 days agoSolar still has some huge problems when it comes to seasonality and day/night cycle. You either need massive battery build out or some other form of energy to handle base loads and/or offset when solar isn’t producing enough.
Not saying solar isn’t part of the future, but we literally can’t just rely on solar.
Since Gacha stems from Gashapon vending machines (source - Wiki Gacha, I feel like medium purists should stick to vending machines only.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a piece of media that literally changed the world/had a real world impact?
9·8 days agoI think this is more interesting limiting it to fictional pieces or work, as many of the non-fiction examples were written to have a real world impact.
Also one I didn’t see was The China Syndrome. If you’re unfamiliar it was a drama about a nuclear incident, but happened to release just days before the Three Mile Incident. Meaning it was a one-two punch to the nuclear industry and something people point to about nuclear energy stalling in the US.
That’s just not true. I can’t speak for mines, but warehousing and collecting garbage from the ocean and other domains do have fully autonomous systems.
Humanoid robots aren’t really used anywhere, but that’s cause they aren’t really a functional product yet.

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•What’s your favourite Elder Scrolls game, and why?
6·9 days agoNot the person you responded to, but I’ve liked Tainted Grail a lot.
It feels more like what skyrim should be in that the RPG elements are more integrated with the gameplay while still keeping the action moving.
Some general thoughts:
- I like the writing, it’s nice to have a different world/setting.
- the combat is okay, but at least requires a bit of skill/strategy.
- I like the more limited item set with a focus on upgrading/modifying weapons rather than just finding good gear.
- The fact attributes actually matter in quests/dialog is nice to see and done decently well.
- Crafting actually feels somewhat rewarding and useful.



I think I’ve seen you pop up a couple of times saying “The Democratic Party also murdered more Palestinians than the Republican Party”. What do you mean by that and what are the sources?
I didn’t think the US was really all that directly involved in the Palestinian conflict, but more tacitly responsible for arming Israel and not trying to rein them in.
Additionally, if you’re talking about Biden vs Trump admins as your timeline for dem/repub, that’s really just different phases of the conflict rather than one admin doing anything more/less. If anything, the real relief that Palestine has gotten is Israel dragging the US into war with Iran. Can’t really expend resources on Palestine when fighting a country that’s equally capable.
