I find Bollywood movies to be quite enjoyable if you go into it with the expectation that it’s basically live-action anime.
Why should he take the blame for something he likely has no influence over? That’s like blaming the Sandwich Artist because you don’t like Subway’s bread; he just makes the sandwiches, he doesn’t design the recipe.
Yeah I’m sure he, alone, is responsible for his company’s practices, and isn’t just a dude trying to make a paycheck.
Bruh, he just explained what his company’s workflow is like. He wasn’t espousing the opinions that everybody is accusing him of, just saying how his job requires him to work.
This community can be hyper-reactionary sometimes.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. They’re an Australian psych rock band who experiment with a lot of different rock subgenres. They’ve put out a TON of albums in their short time together; all of them are fantastic, and each one is its own unique experience. They often have a narrative theme with each album, sometimes a singular story that goes across the entire album, or multiple albums. They’re hippies to their core, so a lot of psychedelic themes and songs about climate change and the oil industry. I used to not really care for psych rock that much, but these guys got me to appreciate it. I can’t recommend any one song or album to start with, but I definitely suggest jumping around their discography and just giving some things a listen. If you don’t like something, try another album; they’re all so unique that there’s a pretty good chance they have something you’ll enjoy.
I’m not sure what exactly is going on here. This is regarding their live TV service and FAST streams, which both already have ads by default. Is this just that they’re replacing the existing ads from the original stream with new ads?
I generally prefer Lemmy to Reddit, although I do miss being able to find niche communities that are both populated and active. Smaller communities tend to become ghost towns around here, unfortunately.
That’s what Rossman would like you to believe, but that’s not what actually happens. They send it back to you.
Why should they do that? If they decide it’s a better use of their resources to swap the entire device than to repair the original and ship it back, why would you be opposed to that? You’re getting an entire new device out of the deal and coming out ahead with new hardware (and possibly upgraded hardware, if there have been manufacturing revisions since your original purchase).
If it’s a matter of your data, it should always be assumed that you will lose 100% of your data when you send a device in for repair, no matter what the repair is. There’s always a chance that they need to replace a component containing the storage, that your device has to be reset to defaults after a part has been replaced anyway, or that it just straight-up gets physically lost in the mail. Backup before sending in anything for repairs. Why anybody would put an un-wiped phone in the mail in the first place, is beyond me.
The fact that the US allows companies to flat out steal your device during a repair process is insane.
The US doesn’t allow it. Google won’t keep your phone; they’ll just refuse to service it. They had that line in their TOS for their own protection for weird scenarios, but they’re not going to keep your phone. Why would they? It’s broken and full of parts they can’t use; they’re not going to just let it occupy space in their warehouse, they’ll send it back.
This whole thing is an absurd overreaction to a poorly-written line in a TOS that has never even been enforced.
Come back tomorrow when the Caturday crowd is around, and Cat Lemmy will be poppin’ off.

Uh oh, that’s another flag!
I feel like you might have some things to work out if you think that’s what dating is supposed to be.
It’s also the hosting. YouTube has hundreds of hours of high-res video uploaded to it every single minute, and then has to process and mirror that content across its global distribution network. Just the hardware required to make that function, alone, is prohibitively expensive for any other contenders to enter this space.
Google: “Thanks for your feedback, we hear you loud in clear. In response, we’ve launched 5 new messenger apps (only 3 available in your region), changed the names and branding of 3 other messengers, and completely discontinued 8 other messenger apps. We hope you enjoy playing our little game of Three Card Monty trying to figure out which messenger actually works now.”
The Paper Mario games are RPGs, so they’re a lot more dialogue-heavy than a normal Mario game. In this instance, the character explains their identity to the player, directly.
I mean, I can’t see it from here, so I have no choice but to believe you.
A lot of it is going to be game-specific, and spending time tweaking the control settings until you find what feels responsive to you.
The rest of it is going to be technique, and a lot of trial and error to find out what works best for your play style. For instance, I can’t do fast-paced, twitchy movements on a controller (even things that are technically possible to do on a controller; I just don’t have the dexterity anymore), so I have to adopt a different play style when using a controller. I usually will go for a more support-based role, if possible; opting for long-range weapons/abilities, and playing a more patient, campy game. I play slower and more methodically this way, and try to position myself so that I don’t ever get into the situations where I need to react to somebody closing the gap on me in the first place.
For me, it’s an entire mindset shift. If I play the same game on M/K, I’ll be playing with a much faster, reaction-centric style instead of one where my movements are more premeditated.
Some other tips will be learning to do things like using your left stick for fine-tuning your aim (you can get very precise horizontal micro-adjustments by leveraging your player’s position, which can be useful for getting your shot off before the other guy does), experimenting with gyro controls if that’s an option for you, or trying joystick extenders (small gadgets that clip onto your sticks to extend their effective length, which may make aiming easier).
As far as what to practice in, I don’t know of any aim trainers that are designed for controller, so I’d say you should just practice with a game that you either don’t care about or where it doesn’t matter if you lose a bunch. I’d recommend The Finals; it’s free to play, the default quickplay mode is active and puts you into a match quickly, and it’s super low-stakes so you don’t have to feel bad about experimenting during a live match. Your teammates don’t have loot drops or anything hinging on your success, so if you play badly, nobody cares. And it’s got pretty robust customization options for the controller settings (dead zones, acceleration curves, etc), which can help you figure out what settings you respond best to and what to look out for in the settings of other games. It has a huge variety in movement/weapon options, so you’ll end up developing skills/habits that will transfer over to other games quite easily.
I didn’t mean to weirdly steer this into becoming an ad for The Finals. But it’s a very controller-friendly FPS that I think will be beneficial to practice with. I think it’s also pretty fun, but that’s subjective.
