Sorry, there are no PPAs that have all codecs compiled in? Is it illegal to distribute or something?

Can’t you just install ffmpeg from a PPA rather than compile it yourself?

No, it’s one person who is so unironically salty that they post memes about how much they hate Linux several times a day.

Hey, don’t be sexist. There’s plenty of otherwise-tech-illiterate ditsy dudes in the same work pool.

My feed is aware of my politics and throws everyone I’m friends with or follow (and some who I’ve unfollowed) who wrote something objectively wrong or stupid that’s biased the other way politically.

It’s literally all rage bait unless I go in and manually block it from showing me those people at all.

I mean, they don’t HAVE to, but if they choose not to, the board of directors will push for a change in CSUITE personnel

If the board doesn’t maximize profit, the shareholders can sue them, so functionally they do have to.

This dude’s videos impress me to no end

This is sad, not funny

Is that Reinhard Von Musel?

I loved my DS the best of any non-PC handheld I have owned.

Final Fantasy 3 took up many many hours on car rides. Castlevania Portrait of Ruin is an all-time banger of a game, glad it finally got republished in a collection.

The first game I got on DS was Super Mario 64 DS, which, on top of having one of the finest minigame collections of any handheld game and being able to do single-card multi-player via download play, was a fine adaptation of one of the greatest platformer games ever made.

Brain Age and its offshoots spawned a whole cottage industry. Really, the DS was one of the first widely owned devices that had a decently reliable touch screen, so it got used for a lot of non-gaming stuff in addition to having such a huge library of games.

Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum are the best of the classic top-down JRPG style Pokemon games IMO, so the DS also gets credit for having the peak of those games.

The original DS was also home to some of the best point and click adventure games of its era, like 999. This was before Telltale really took off with The Walking Dead, Batman, etc and the genre was mostly dead in the west at the time, so when some quirky Japanese point and click escape room/mystery games dropped it really was incredibly refreshing at the time. Those games still hold up IMO.

When the 3DS came out, I was a little disappointed by the StreetPass features. I live in a fairly rural area so I would only get to play Mii Adventure or whatever it was called when I would go into a city for a convention or something similar where you knew a large concentration of nerds was going to exist. I suppose it makes more sense in Japan with their higher population density. Regardless, the 3DS’ Gamecube-tier graphics, nicer buttons, better screen, and control stick all make it a superior machine to the DS in every iteration.

It’s really just a shame that Nintendo used the 3DS naming scheme. Like with the WiiU it led to consumer confusion where parents assumed it was just an upgrade on the original and not a whole new console generation. The naming implied it was just the next model after the DSi-XL and that all it added was 3D, rather than being Nintendo’s first properly online handheld and having a generational leap in raw power.

If I were going to buy a dual-screened handheld today, I’d probably go for the AYANEO Flip DS, which seems to be basically a next-gen Steam Deck but with the DS form factor. That said, it’s pretty pricey.

Luigi in Mario Kart, Link or Marth or Mewtwo, depending on which Smash game.

I guess don’t know how to break it to you that saying “f you” is not creative without being on a high horse then.

I give you a decent counterargument with some bonus alliteration and all you can muster is a strawman?

Also, speaking of cope. To say that a person using curse words instead of a witty remark is somehow smart cause smart people use curse words doesn’t sound right but I don’t how else to interpret the ETA you made.

You’ve reversed cause and effect here. I didn’t say that all people who curse are smart. I said smart people curse.

You’ve argued from a cliché and from a strawman misrepresentation of my original point. I hope someday you look back and cringe at your small-minded pretentiousness in this thread.

Scientific studies have shown that curse words relieve physical pain better than any alternatives.

So there are some situations where anything else is an objectively worse option.

ETA: I’m willing to bet the reason this is being downvoted is due to the holier-than-thou attitude you’re copping, OP. It’s also something of a classist-coded cliché to claim that people who curse lack vocabulary, intelligence, education, or creativity. This is, of course counter to the fact that studies have shown that people with higher intelligence are more likely to use salty language.

GETTIN OLDER ALL THE TIME

Yeah, no. The main point of the multi-player is to get help from allies. It’s only if you get that help that anyone can invade your game in Elden Ring

There’s a series of novels kinda based around that idea. Magic 2.0 is the name of the series. Basically various hackers from different time periods discover a file that controls the whole universe and learn how to edit it with code/macros and become wizards because of it

It’s like day-ta vs dah-tah/dah-tuh

Even earlier, Colossal Cave Adventure from 1975 is the earliest one I can think of.

Likewise Dungeon from the same year might be the earliest Empoisoned

EDIT: Nah, Pong predates Dungeon.

One of the first arcade games (1971) was Computer Space. Kinda feels halfway between the two, so that’s fun.

EDIT 2: Think I found the earliest Jumble’s Big Bumble: Hunt The Wumpus, first distributed in May of 1973

He has a cult and the House of Representatives. Let’s not downplay the threat these nuts pose

Yeah, agreed. You can appreciate the art and still think the guy is a douche who people shouldn’t have to put up with
