It can’t be TITTY, right? Feels like too much repetition letter-wise

I think the complaint has more been that the PS5 is lacking for games, period. I just looked it up, there have been 36 SIE games published on the PS5 thus far in what’s been roughly 5.5 years. It took SIE less than half that time to get to the same number published on the PS4.

I never understood consumers begging for exclusives anyway. Someone playing Halo on a PC or PlayStation doesn’t make it any less enjoyable for me to play on my Xbox. People that simp for corporations are weird.

Nah, the internet is a monolith. When the hive mind agrees with me then the topic is just common sense and when we disagree I’m surrounded by sheep.

A big difference with this strain of hantavirus is it’s not a novel virus; this strain is endemic to South America and previous outbreaks have been studied and contained. That said, every infection does pose the risk of mutation.

I just read this Ars article that points out it’s the Andes variant. The author is a doctor of Microbiology and seems pretty nonplussed about the virus

I feel like “sir this is a library” would get him to go away

I can imagine why it’s like that, going to SLC as someone from the flat part of NJ was astounding. It didn’t matter which direction I looked, there was mountain encircling us.

That doesn’t answer my question at all but ok

I won’t watch on any streaming services because they’d probably see some money from that, but maybe I’ll add the show to my server one day

 
 

As some of you may be aware, over the past few weeks there have been an increasing number of what I suspect are bots which will share one or even a few posts, all relevant to the communities they are shared in, at which point the account self-deletes. I’m torn as the stories are relevant, but they give me the impression of a narrative attack. I’ve seen only one of these accounts actually comment before deletion, otherwise they post and immediately nuke the account.

I have tagged mods and admins but have not heard any recognition on the problem. It’s also notable that by my impression this issue is getting worse. I noticed yesterday that communities I subscribe to which previously have not had this problem are now starting to receive these kinds of posts.

I want the fediverse to be a place to communicate with real people in good faith; this manner of posting runs contrary to that. So that begs the questions, is this actually a problem, and if so, what can be done about it?

 

In my search for the ultimate retro gaming machine I’ve been surprised by the limited options when it comes to controllers for iOS and android. While there are plenty of controllers that you can clip your phone onto in landscape orientation, I haven’t seen any that are designed to play in portrait mode. I see several benefits to a clip on controller for portrait mode. Pinball games, Tetris, and DS games all play best in portrait mode. Plus, a portrait mode controller would be close to the original gameboy in terms of form-factor.

Anyone else looking for something like this? Have I missed a product that’s out there? Maybe once I get a 3D printer I can cannibalize a Bluetooth controller and experiment.
