Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Ok, honestly, is cast-iron really any better than a non-stick, stainless, copper (anything else?) pan?English
4·2 天前Ceramic non-stick is pretty great. I’ve used cast-iron and it’s fine, but it’s kind of fussy when it comes to cleanup.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•"This still does not compare to the kind of audience we would have on Steam": Horses lead says ban virality helped sales "but we're not out of the woods," and he fears "self-censorship" with future...English
13·2 天前It’s definitely exposing a lot of creeps on Lemmy.
I think the point is just finger pointing, one-upmanship, and division. It’s Schrodinger’s outrage fuel.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•WTF Just Happened? | The Corrupt Memory Industry & MicronEnglish
2·2 天前Unless they’re getting paid directly, like through something like Nebula or their own service like a Dropout or Viva sort of thing, why wouldn’t they want their views to be somewhere that drives more meaningful numbers? Peertube isn’t going to bring them new users, and from what I’ve seen a lot of what’s on peertube seems to just be unauthorized reposts that pull away views.
Like, if I enjoy a creator who’s on YouTube, I’m not going to watch their stuff somewhere that doesn’t give them any meaningful recognition. Something like Patreon is great, but driving up their numbers on Peertube isn’t going to bring them to a wider audience the way driving up their engagement on YouTube would, and those numbers bring more people to their Patreon.

14·2 天前Is there an actual incentive for any for-profit channel to have a peertube channel? It seems like it would just reduce engagement that they actually get paid for.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Fallout [1997] creator Tim Cain returns [from retirement] to Obsidian, already working on a mystery projectEnglish
6·3 天前I would honestly love to see a Fallout with the sort of gameplay in 4 with a story more in the style of New Vegas. The dialogue tree in 4 left a lot to be desired, the plot didn’t leave as much room for player choice as it might have, and there were lore elements that weren’t consistent with previous games, but the combat was great. And honestly, it was much more open-world than 3 in a way that felt more like the other installments. Fallout 3 was a lot of being hedged in by limited options in the ruins of DC and a lot of very samey subway tunnels. The environments of 4 had a lot more variety and let the player roam more.

Gaming@beehaw.org•An unsettling indie game about horses keeps getting banned from storesEnglish
2·3 天前It’s not that it has nudity. It’s that it had a child riding around on a fully naked adult in a horse mask.

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•UK issues £1 million fine to adult platform for failing to comply with age verification rulesEnglish
2·3 天前Seems like a good argument for blocking UK ip addresses.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Rockstar co-founder [Dan Houser] compares AI to 'mad cow disease,' and says the execs pushing it aren't 'fully-rounded humans'English
7·6 天前Do you talk to people like that in person?

1·6 天前If you switch to the piefed you can block their entire instance.
I mean personally, it’s not something I expect to be reminded of in the top of the feed for what is otherwise a pretty light webcomic community.
I lost two people to cancer this year. Sucks.
I’m not sure this comic is the heartwarming post you think it is.
For some people, possessing any empathy at all qualifies as “virtue signaling”.

Television@piefed.social•New References to The Good Place in Season 2 of Man on the InsideEnglish
2·15 天前Personally, I left Reddit a long time before because of control freaks with no lives who feel the need to dictate their personal preferences to others as though it were a dire moral emergency.

1·16 天前Totally reasonable to avoid uploading to imgur if you’re worried about third party advertisers collecting your metadata, but that’s hardly unique to them. I block ads and also don’t have any illusions about countless websites sharing metadata with advertisers. I’m not really aware of a reliable image host that doesn’t do this.
Imgur blocking the UK over OSA is a pretty reasonable move, though. Demanding that companies collect ID verification data from users is to me a much bigger liability than their advertisers seeing my IP or browser or whatever. Personally, I fully support companies deciding not to participate in the hoarding of personal information that could be compromised by entirely too common data breaches.
I didn’t even know sweat bees could sting. When I drove a cab I used to sit in a field with my feet sticking out the window and they’d inevitably come land on me and suck on my toes. I suppose it wouldn’t make much sense to sting your food source if you don’t have to, though.

2·16 天前Okay boomer.
What movie is that?


I like winter apart from the parking restrictions.
