SILO TV Series discussion + Book series worth reading?
  • psysok psysok 1y ago 100%

    I have not watched the show, but I have read the books. Kind of simple, young adult. It doesn't ask much of you, and didn't really leave a lasting impression. Great premise though. I also read Sand by Hugh Howey, and can't for the life of me remember any of it, whereas a lot of people seem to really love it, so maybe I am just the odd man out here.

  • Xbox's 'Biggest Content Drop In History' Sees Over 1400 Retro Games Arrive Next Week
  • psysok psysok 1y ago 100%

    The lifetime pass isn't bad, but I don't really have any nostalgia for the platforms that make up the bulk of Antstream's catalog, like the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, and Amiga.

  • Name a single feature you’d like to see in a Switch 2
  • psysok psysok 1y ago 100%

    Wireless transmission latency is good enough for pc players connecting to oculus headsets. Besides, if this is just a wishlist, I would hope that nintendo keeps traditional docking as well if you are playing a latency critical game or want to use a pro controller instead of the console itself as the controller.

    I loved my wii u and was disappointed when the tablet screen didn't get used. If it was more successful (as the switch has been and hopefully how the switch 2 will be) then it probably would have been better utilized.

    Wireless Dock for dual screen gaming. Make it easier to port those ds, 3ds, and wii u games. I love having inventory and maps more readily accessible.

    Random YouTube comment on the whole Reddit situation that perfectly sums up my thoughts
  • psysok psysok 1y ago 100%

    I think they view it as ripping off the bandaid now before their IPO. They probably figured they would lose some single digit % of users that would recover over time, and now they will have full control over the experience with no 3rd party apps, which they will want in order to squeeze more money over time.

    It’s official — LCD TVs won’t see any further development.
  • psysok psysok 1y ago 83%

    I am going to skip LCD tvs altogether. Right now I am still using my first hd tv, a Plasma TV from 2008, and when I replace it, it will likely be with an OLED.

  • YouTube tests blocking videos unless you disable ad blockers
  • psysok psysok 1y ago 100%

    I do not have first hand knowledge, but I have heard that premium viewers are much more valuable to a channel than ad supported views. I also support channels I enjoy through Patreon as well. I would much rather pay and be a customer than do "free" services where my info is just the product for corporations.

    A wet monsoon would be good to keep the whole state from catching on fire after a wet winter encouraged growth. That may not be in the cards though

    Quest Master is a new game by Skydevilpalm and Julian Creutz looks like a Zelda Maker where you can design your own dungeons and then share them. Hopefully their sharing ability is a little more robust than what Nintendo did with Mario Maker. No release date yet, but apparently a demo is coming soon.

    Italy is suggesting a location for the EU Einstein Telescope which will observe gravitational waves. The competing location right now is in Belgium. The arms are planned to be 10km, longer than LIGO's 4km arms.
