scops@reddthat.comto Games@lemmy.world•'Xbox Hardware Is Dead,' Says Founding Team Member, 'It Looks Like Xbox Has No Desire — Or Literally Can't — Ship Hardware Anymore' - IGNEnglish7·7 days agoI know people hate the idea of console exclusivity, but without it, that’s what really killed the Xbox for me. I’ve got a gaming PC and a PS5 (not Pro), and I could afford an Xbox Series X if I really wanted to. I simply don’t know of any games on the platform that I want and can’t get somewhere else.
And that’s not coming from a reflexive Microsoft hater. I had an OG Xbox (and loved the old Duke controller), 360, and One S. I just barely played the latter.
scops@reddthat.comto News@lemmy.world•A 2020 law banning plastic bags in Vermont has nearly eliminated their use in the stateEnglish23·12 days agoWould it be feasible to bring your own bags? I picked up a cheap 10 pack of fabric bags and they are sturdy enough I can usually fit a week’s worth of groceries in two or three of them
scops@reddthat.comto Games@lemmy.world•No, Steam wasn’t hacked, and your account details are safeEnglish24·2 months agoI believe the main concern for periodic password changes is that most people won’t take the time to generate unique passwords each time. They will typically iterate a password over time, meaning a couple leaked passwords will narrow down guesswork to a trivial number of guesses and remove the benefit of the timed changes.
NIST no longer recommends password expirations except for cases where it is believed that a breach occurred.
The first season of Spartacus. My dad recommended it and I tried watching the first few episodes. Spartacus gets his ass kicked a lot at the start of the show. You’d get a glimmer of hope, then he’d fuck up and nearly die again. My dad insisted it would get better and I watched one more episode and he has his first victory in the arena. I stuck with it from there and thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the first season and the prequel season.
RIP Andy Whitfield. I tried watching the third season which picks the story back up after the first, but I just couldn’t get into it. I don’t think it was necessarily Liam McIntyre’s fault, the show just lost it’s rhythm after the setting change.
scops@reddthat.comto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•To the LGBT and particularly trans people, how are you holding up these days?English30·2 months agoI’m poly, my girlfriend is married to a woman. They have been looking hard at contingency plans. One of them is eligible for dual-citizenship due to ancestry and is looking into that process, and they have confirmed with friends in another country that they could rent a room with them if necessary.
A couple weeks ago, she asked me if I would marry her in the event they felt the need to divorce and “go undercover” looking more heteronormative.
They are scared. They feel like they are not that far removed from the “kind of person” who might be next up for disappearances by our current government.
scops@reddthat.comto Games@lemmy.world•Microsoft is raising prices on Xbox consoles, controllers, and games worldwideEnglish61·2 months agoAnd the amount of money I spend on Xbox consoles, controllers, and games will be unchanged this year.
At least it’s not the US, where you’d need to add a couple hours of slowdown or standstill while regulation-breaking overloaded freight trains are jumping the priority list and blocking up the commuter lines.
Elon Musk will go to any length to scrub this image from the Internet:
scops@reddthat.comto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Am I a bad person for feeling weirded out by my daughter having 2 boyfriends?English432·3 months agoPolyamory is a bit like gender identity or sexual orientation. Some people (like me) are just not wired for full-time monogamous nesting relationships in the same way that a straight person isn’t likely to feel sexual attraction to a member of the same sex. Consider how you might feel if your daughter came out as gay, or non-binary. Would your reaction be different?
She’s still growing and developing. I think one of the biggest changes between our generation (X, Millenial, maybe older end of Z) and the younger generation is that there isn’t this fear or stigma about trying out alternative lifestyles. It doesn’t mean that they are inherently more or less likely to be queer or non-monogamous, it means they are more free to try these identities on and see if they fit with a reduced risk of being socially ostracized.
It’s very possible that your daughter is just trying this out. Completely independent of your reaction, it is completely feasible that she determines that she (or her partner(s)) figure out that it is not a good fit on her/their own. Regardless of that outcome, your behavior around this will affect your relationship with her. You can be uncomfortable, you can even communicate to her that you are uncomfortable, as long as you still give her space to explore, and I think she will continue to confide in you and trust you with this kind of access into her life as she matures into an adult.
For what it’s worth, I think most people assume monogamy is a default, but I believe it should be a conscious choice. It is absolutely the best choice for MOST people, but I think we would all be happier if we navigated into our relationship styles based on informed decisions, rather than societal expectations.

scops@reddthat.comto Games@lemmy.world•Death Stranding 2: On the Beach | Pre-Order TrailerEnglish3·4 months agoI loved Death Stranding, but anyone else feel like that guy putting on the bandana might have been Kojima making a little dig at David Hayter?
The character design looks very reminiscent of the MGS Delta materials we’ve seen, and Hayter has been more open lately about how miffed he was when Kojima dumped him for Kiefer in MGS V. That coupled with how much promo work Hayter has been doing for Delta makes me think it wouldn’t be too surprising if Kojima was annoyed with him.
scops@reddthat.comto Technology@lemmy.world•Man who lost $780 million in Bitcoin in a landfill now wants to buy the entire dump before city closes the siteEnglish50·5 months agoIt’s a far cry from this guy’s situation, but I think I had five or six bitcoin back when I was mining in the early days. I cashed out when they were maybe $40-50 each towards a new GPU.
Sure, I could go nuts thinking about what I would do with the money now, but if I hadn’t sold at that rate, I probably would have sold at $100, or $200, or…
There’s no way in hell I would have had the discipline to “hodl” to this point, so I just get on with my life.
scops@reddthat.comto News@lemmy.world•Amazon faces union vote at North Carolina warehouseEnglish13·5 months agoNC is way more purple than you realize. The GOP has just gotten away with too much gerrymandering and voter suppression to show it in our politics.
And Garner is in Wake County, one of the bluest in the state. If it will happen anywhere in the state, this is probably the best bet.
scops@reddthat.comto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Developers: "Yes, the users love cluttered homes, just put everything there and ignore guidelines"English31·5 months agoI’m completely self-taught when it comes to Linux, so I have some obvious gaps in my knowledge. I’ve looked for good write-ups on how Linux folders are intended for use and been unable to find a good resource. Thank you for sharing the official standard name. Reading up on it now.
scops@reddthat.comto [Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•Feel tired constantly. What did you do to solve this?English1·5 months agoYeah, my first thought was sleep apnea. If OP sleeps alone, there are phone apps that will record and analyze the sounds you make through the night. This can be a good precursor to getting a doctor’s opinion.
scops@reddthat.comto News@lemmy.world•Supreme Court declines to review Mississippi voting ban for convicted felonsEnglish21·5 months agoOne of the many, many different forms of voter suppression. Done your time? Somehow become rehabilitated in our awful prison system? Fuck it, you’re still a voiceless space-taking non-citizen until you die
scops@reddthat.comto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What some weird stuff your body does?(can be NSFW)English5·5 months agoI can do that too. Bonus since I sprained one at 16, I’ll just be randomly walking along when something in my ankle makes an audible pop and dislocates for just long enough for me to stumble and take another step.
I had a wrist sprain a few years back and got an X-ray. They told me my ulna was about a millimeter longer than it probably should be. I’m wondering if that’s the case for most of my joints and that’s why I creak like gammy’s favorite rocking chair
I would add Neil Newbon to the list that really stood out. I thought his acting through the end of Astarion’s quest line was the best in the game.
