Day 342 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm with you, Mario 64 is one of my all time favorites.

i still play it every few years and sometimes I'll get the urge to watch the latest world-record speedrun, it's so much fun to even just watch.

pretty much the only game i do that with.

great screenshots too. there are so many mods for SM64 but I almost always play vanilla, so it's fun to see you guys as different characters.

SM64 Toad is a psychopath for sure.

congrats on getting to share the game with your friend, and almost hitting a year with your screenshots!

thanks, I'll keep an eye out.

if you think that despite the overwhelming popular evidence, i don't think any further examples are going to change your mind.

people complain about Microsoft and Sony all the time.

as you say, Nintendo is "just as evil", they are all shitty companies that treat their customers like dirt.

Nintendo seems to be the most litigious of all of them, and is now warning people they'll brick their devices. that their customers bought.

there's not a bias against Nintendo, there's a retaliation for their shitty policies that they continue to enact despite their customers protesting and making their preferences known.

it's literally so bad at this point that I've decided not to buy anymore Nintendo products.

doesn't have to be new to be real shitty!

With their big recent widespread warning I figured it was a new policy.

didn't know it was just a reminder.

"7 steps are pretty clear..."

you do not have seven steps.

you have provided pages of vague prefaces and conclusions sandwiched around disconnected musings about how seeing beyond a hypothetical veil could occur if one were provided with a hypothetical procedure that reaches no conclusion.

"This exchange is going nowhere healthy or positive - I am all for debates"

you are failing in this exchange. you ask what people think, people are telling you. you don't want to accept it.

"if you are happy within this dimension..."

you don't think those beyond your understanding pop intp this dimension?

you are truly limited.

If you ask people if they agree with your cobclusions, and we say no, and your conclusion is "then you are not thinking how I am thinking so you must be wrong", then the problem is with your narrow perspective and your question, not with everyone else.

"Myth of Sisyphus..."

if you insist on falsely claiming spiritual ownership of a tired metaphor, try Cassandra instead of Sisyphus.

you're pretending to have prophetic insights that no one else will heed, you aren't performing some endless onerous task by tip tapping vague, nonlinear shower thoughts into your phone.

"there is much more out there than meets the eye..."

don't assume or conflate your own narrowed perspective with the awareness of others.

sewing is mine also. I don't think I've talked to a single person in the 15 years I've been sewing that hasn't reacted with shock to some degree or another upon finding out.

i like repairing clothes and making backpacks.

listening to some presidents of the United States of America.

peaches, specifically.

but I've been thinking about this point with a lot of bands, and songs I love, lately.

also, I know this is crazy, but apparently I forgot there's a ninja fight at the end of the peaches video?

that was surprising.

I can't find the post or my comment that ended up with this show on my watchlist, and during the first 15 minutes I thought it was goofy, but by the end of the first episode I'm definitely hooked.

theit discussion of what it means to be human is pretty engaging.

Cannot climb the base of the spire in Horizon: Forbidden West (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'm playing with the keyboard and mouse, and the climbing is very clunky so far overall, but it seems completely broken for the spire.

when I get to the second to the last hand holds and I have to reach out and then long jump to the highest hand holds so that I can jump into the spire, aloy reaches out but only jumps to the left or right off the spire, she will not jump up to the highest, final handhold, even if she's reaching straight up.

has anyone else played this with a mouse and keyboard instead of a controller?

I've tried different key bindings and default, but she only jumps left or right off the spire and refuses to jump up to the highest handhold.

it looks very much like this guys problem, but he's playing it with a controller and finally solved it, sayd his problem was custom key bindings and the solution was default, but I can't get anywhere with these keyboard controls.

Cool client, am I missing something obvious with quick actions? mine are missing despite showing up in the preview. (sh.itjust.works)
 

in the preview I can see them under the post, I've added share and save, but on the actual posts in the feed on any layout, share and save are not in the quick action bar.

do I have to enable something else also?

thanks

i was listening to louis Armstrong and was suggested Bumscratcher by Sheena Cassey. I'm perplexed and laughing out loud. (www.youtube.com)
 

this is bumscratcher; beef curtains is one of her other songs.

all very new material, pretending to be a 60s lounge singer, does anyone know anything about cassey or unhinged records?

Step counter freezing (sh.itjust.works)
 

In a flash turnaround, I have now experienced the step counter malfunctioning on two different days.

I couldn't figure out what did it a few days ago where I ended up with only 3,000 steps after about 2 hours of walking around, but just now I clicked on the Green character tab to check my total step count so far, but it wasn't updating, then when I tapped the purple activity tab, that had stopped updating as well and I was stuck on 22 remaining steps for an activity for hundreds of steps after that.

I restarted the app and was able to recreate that same problem by clicking on the green green character tab and then the purple activity tab.

since I usually don't click directly over to the character tab with the green bittom button, i tend to swioe over instead, I'm wondering if it's some bug with that.

in what order do you guys recommend watching the whole Ghost in the Shell narrative after the original movie(no spoilers please)? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I really liked the original movie, I'm not interested at all in the live action, but there seem to be so many anime tv shows and movies that I'm at a loss where to start except hopping through chronologically by production.

I'd like to avoid repeats, so I don't really care about ovas.

I watched the original, I want to continue that story, but I have no idea if that's how the story goes in all the subsequent productions I'm seeing.

so please without spoiling anything, explain which path I should take.

hiboy looks good, but I see a lot of disparaging reviews concerning its build quality.

any firsthand experience with a solid-wheel scooter is what I'm looking for, thanks!
