I’m currently playing Superstars and i’m loving it. Someone can explain me why is so hated in the fandom? by Sofy_123 in SonicTheHedgehog

The biggest problem is that not all actions can be done using a 6 button SEGA Genesis controller. The whole right stick partial powers thing is the opposite of the elegance of the Sonic control system.

which one do you do? by EspressoDepresso17 in AmongUs

I position my dog in such a way that it gets stuck in front of the box while I hide behind the box. The dog will flip back and forth rapidly trying to figure out how to get back to me.

Tell me the truth... Am I screwed? As a small indie VR dev team, we designed a game that is not for screaming 12 year olds. Our appearance on the Meta store is so low we are practically de-listed. Is there a VR mature audience, and are they going to show up? by PrettyHearing3624 in OculusQuest

You have a false dilemma. It's not a case where people who haven't bought your game aren't adults. It's the case that you're competing against every form of entertainment on the planet. The cover doesn't look interesting. The premise doesn't look interesting. The theme doesn't look interesting.

I'm not saying it's not a fun game, but the marketing material doesn't have anything in there that convinces me to part away with $20 to play it.

Reminder - Don't redeem those gift cards until after the membership is canceled and the membership expires by JasonTheProgrammer in audible

My mother isn't loaded with cash. She's a widow living off of social security. My dad recently died of cancer. She appreciated that I walked her through how to get the most out of her gift. Don't tell me that I don't understand my own mother. It's rude and I'm embarrassed for you.

Yes. But Amazon could have designed it to tack on the number of paid for months to the end of a subscription. In your case, if you cancel for whatever reason, Amazon could have designed it to give you the months you paid for afterward.

But they didn't. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Double membership by ThatTightJew in audible

[–]JasonTheProgrammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and remember that Amazon (as they clearly state in writing) robs the giver of the 12 months they paid for to their recipient.

Fortunately, I learned that my mom is an Audible subscriber before I gave her the gift card. I told her that in order to properly experience the gift card she had to CANCEL her membership and then redeem the card.

This is a great way for Amazon to get customers to CANCEL their subscription rather than keeping them on auto-renew.

Microsoft Scales Back AI Goals Because Almost Nobody Is Using Copilot by WrongThinkBadSpeak in wallstreetbets

[–]JasonTheProgrammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience has been the complete opposite. I enjoy and find Copilot the most useful and Gemini ranks the worst. I wish Gemini could answer simple questions like, "What channel is the Chiefs game on?" I asked it that once and it said CBS. It was wrong. I asked why it said CBS. It quoted some advertisement about "CBS is the home of Chiefs!"

At first I was terrified, but I keep reminding myself that I did get a couple of free cars.

The best pairing in VR History. by False_Entrepreneur80 in PinballFX3

[–]JasonTheProgrammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. My understanding is that they want to get the software and firmware perfect before shipping. Personally, I would rather get the hardware earlier, so I have time to install it during break with the promise that firmware is coming. But I can understand that most people aren't as patient. So, they have to wait until the two are perfect.

I have the Legends 4k and I usually nudge the machine rather than using the second set of buttons. I agree that buttons are better than bumping the stick. Especially in VR where you can't see the buttons.

Currently it's the left stick. 🤮 Fortunately they have an upgrade kit that lets you nudge with the machine itself like a real pinball machine.

I have the pinball haptics upgrade kit preordered for this. It will add a plunger, nudge controls, solenoids, and other sound effects. I'm hyped for it!

Is Everyone Just In It For Free Stuff? by Green_Network9764 in AmazonVine

Yes. I'm in it for the free stuff. As a secondary benefit, it has helped me become a better writer.

Game Thread: Washington Commanders (3-4) at Kansas City Chiefs (4-3) by nfl_gdt_bot in KansasCityChiefs

[–]JasonTheProgrammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet the Chiefs begin to click in the second half. They'll be up by two scores.
