What was your first videogame that made you say "Ok, I need to play this game properly: I need to upgrade my specs"?
  • I mentioned in another post that Unreal Tournament 2004 was one of them for me.

    Later on down the road, after I built my first gaming pc using an XFX 8800gts with a whopping 640mb vram - I tried to max out XCOM when it came out. Next thing I heard was a pop, then I smelled the smoke that was billowing out of my GPU. It was time to upgrade again!

  • I came here to say Unreal Tournament 2004.

    I remember on my laptop - trying to get on a hoverboard and my frame rate dropped to 3-5fps. I knew I needed to finally build and put my laptop away.

    Reddit kills awards and coins
  • TBH, I don't think they care. It is monetization and engagement of their microtransactions...as smug as they may be, I think it's all about $

    My major struggle with Lemmy right now is that it is near impossible to post a video/gif/mp4 without having another account on a hosting provider. Reddit handled this very well, and I am concerned that if there isn't an easy solution on Lemmy, it won't work for many people as an alternative to Reddit.

    For example, I made a few video/gif memes. I couldn't upload the mp4 or gif version to any of the 3 instances I joined. I went to imgur, but it requires a log in, and the link takes you to my profile. I tried giphy and another gif hosting site, but there is time/size limits.

    Am I missing something? I know storage isn't free/unlimited on Lemmy, I totally get that the people hosting instnaces have server costs and shouldn't foot the bill...but something's got to give.

    [SOLVED] Outside a funeral home - seems a bit creepy. What is this?
  • No worries. I know devs are scrambling to make a quality app, and doing it at insane pace. I am sure it will get worked out and I will try it again at that time. My use case is probably not as common as others, so I am sure there are plenty of more critical things getting worked on.

  • I used to work near this place, sometimes it had smoke coming from it. I imagine it cannot be used for biological things...right?

    One of my favorite web comics. By @PsychoSuzanne

    I found a poster of this in the bathroom of a hot dog shop. Thought it was cool so I searched for it. Not my OC, but a cool guide nonetheless.

    This one was fun to work on. Used Inkpunk Diffusion - no img2img or controlnet - straight prompt editing.

    I worked on this one for a family member who owns a blue Alfa Romeo Giulia. No post processing, I just used Inkpunk Diffusion model and kept running and tweaking prompts then upscaled my favorite..

    This was the first non functional/prototype prints after I got my Prusa. Pretty detailed for a .2mm print.

    I keep thinking this would have been a much better sell to devs and to users. I have always used Sync, and Boost. I tried the official app a few times, but really only used it for the chat feature. I didn't want to pay for it, but (I am embarrassed to admit it) I would pay premium to keep my app. I think this would have worked out better for Reddit than the garbage they are pulling right now.

    Would that have been a more reasonable solution in your opinion as well?

    for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken?
  • I have really been diving deep into a lot of niche hobbies and Redd** had such a great community for them. I have no problem starting over for the sake of justice, but it is going to take a long time to build them up.
