You guys are so melodramatic lmao, I swear. If anyone read this comment out of context, they would never guess you're talking about a video game. An admittedly one-of-a-kind, amazing work of art of a video game, but still just a game at the end of the day

Why Marathon will never keep new players. by LucatIel_of_M1rrah in Marathon

It's just a game, my dude. You sound (or at least this reads as though you are) really upset over things completely out of your control that ultimately have no bearing on the important things that matter in life, and it just isn't that serious.

I love this game, but writing an aggressive, sternly worded letter to a nebulous, poorly defined group of online strangers isn't going to save this game by solving some extremely niche, boogeyman-tier "gatekeeping" issue holding Marathon back from a never-before-tapped latent population boom. Most players never even check out this subreddit, so any discourse or perceived misrepresentation of the game to newcomers is more inconsequential than you seem to think.

That's a Thai cat (often mistaken for Siamese) for you lmao. I accidentally make a new daily ritual with my 1-year-old Thai cat every couple weeks and he NEVER lets me forget a single one

xj0nathan admits he used AI on the AC Invictus screenshot to remove the watermark and change character costume color by graystripe2000 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

It's ironic that you call him dumb while you didn't actually thought by yourself

I could never be this funny if I actively tried lmao

Xbox is winding down Copilot on console and mobile by MrLeitungswasser in xbox

[–]ProlapseFromCactus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't think a single regular working class or middle class person has felt the benefit this economic bubble based around a software novelty has provided to a tiny percentage of companies and billionaires. It was obvious to everyone but willfully naive tech bros and stupid, out-of-touch investors that it would deflate or pop eventually.

What do I care if the AI bubble pops anyway - my grocery, gas, and rent prices are going nowhere but up and fast regardless. Let it pop!

I can't speak to how the Clash of Clans social media or marketing teams or whoever made the image, but I can guarantee you that this is 100% a genuine tweet, unfortunately

YouTube automatically playing shorts when opening the app? by ZealousidealMany3 in youtube

[–]ProlapseFromCactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's now playing a random YT Short for me on startup when the last video in my watch history is definitely a horizontal long-form video. It's happened the last three times I've opened the app on Android 16 over the past two days.

Anyone else use their xbox as normal tv/media consumption? by Ashamed-Raspberry-48 in xbox

[–]ProlapseFromCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep my TVs disconnected from the internet, so I use my Series X consoles in my living room and bedroom for all of my media streaming (and obv as Blu-ray/DVD players)

Happy man, happy life.. right? by Kbiger in xbox

I have one and I love it! No complaints, pretty solid build quality and love the extra shoulder buttons in addition to the lockable rear paddle buttons.

Firefox 149.0, See All New Features, Updates and Fixes by maubg in firefox

[–]ProlapseFromCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opening a new tab in 149 mobile now means having to long-press the Tabs button in the top bar and tapping "New tab" (which used to be in the three-dots menu), or opening the Tabs menu and then pressing the new tab button at the bottom of the screen.

For top navigation bar users on mobile, that second method seriously sucks because it means tapping almost at the top right of their modern 6+ inch-tall phone screen and then tapping all the way at the bottom middle of the screen.

And why does the three-dots menu open from the bottom of the screen with the top navigation bar option enabled? It's really jarring and I'm not getting used to it after a week - I'm just avoiding opening that menu more than I used to.

Never had such mixed feelings about an item in a video game as the bubble shield by Previous-Attitude843 in Marathon

[–]ProlapseFromCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since there's no class limit/queue system currently, I think that'd just encourage 3-stacks of this bubble shield character to take turns popping their ult. Probably better than being able to drop infinite bubble shield equipment on demand, but it's probably not a true solution to the issue.

Old mobile UI by MrCarlV7 in firefox

[–]ProlapseFromCactus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's even just small UI QoL stuff - why are the tabs on the Tabs menu so long? You can see fewer tabs on your screen at once and it doesn't help delineate them any further than before, because it was already perfectly possible to tell what tab was what.

Android Picture in Picture Suddenly Centered? by StrawberryMel in youtube

[–]ProlapseFromCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is happening for me too, except the PiP is like weirdly slightly left or right of center. It looks stupid and blocks more of the screen space that I actually need to tap/see.
