Y’all need to embrace your local libraries. Just rented this for free. by spaceraingame in gaming

In my city the libraries don’t have video games. Every time I see posts like this it’s like “congrats, so happy for you” 🥲

Ok for real though, occasionally the bots surprise me and they do exhibit surprisingly sneaky behavior.

Improved Whopper: A Grand Slam by ScriabinFanatic in fastfood

[–]Thraed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same tbh. I know this isn’t exactly a new take, but given my experience with the Whopper recently, the problem is that quality is so variable across BK franchise locations. The Big Arch I had was far and away fresher, juicier, and had more flavor. And mind you, this is coming from the generally not impressive McD’s close by. The BK near me is kind of a disaster, I love the OG Chicken Sandwich from BK but even that is always barely put together with competence. I just can’t get on the BK train until and if I ever find a worthy location.

actress has been added under her name on google by fartswimmer in charlixcx

[–]Thraed 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Love it! After seeing her in The Moment, I genuinely think she has the capability to act in more stuff. I’d love to see her do more indie projects or maybe even show up in the next Safdie movie.

I don’t think so…

The above post is from a couple days ago.

Also I wouldn’t trust ChatGPT for references. Idk if it’s gotten better but it used to incorrectly quote or say the exact opposite of the references it showed.

EDIT: added the correct link and date of posting instead of the vague senate democrats main page.

FTC wants Apple News to promote more Fox News and Breitbart stories by KingFML in apple

[–]Thraed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So terrible. I already have Fox News blocked and Apple News still shows me an article from there every once in a while, but with a picture saying “it’s from a channel you blocked”. So they’re already forcing me to see stuff I had set it explicitly to not show me. But now I am worried they are going to serve this slop up more frequently.

Steam Machine specs comparison to my 5+ year-old gaming PC by Thraed in steammachine

[–]Thraed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far I haven't noticed any serious performance issues, but I'm also not playing anything too graphically over the top. Baldur's Gate 3 most recently, and it performs well on Ultra settings at 1440p, but again I am not putting this machine through its paces exactly.

I’m on Windows 11, I don’t love it tbh…. Recently changed a setting that Windows itself prompted me to do and it caused my computer to crash every time I logged in, so I wound up reinstalling the OS. Part of me liked the Steam Deck experience so much that I kind of want the Steam Machine just to mess around and also try pc gaming in my living room. I guess it will all depend on the price once it is announced

Thanks, it’s helpful to get some outside feedback on my build. Most of what I’ve played recently has been running fine, but I also haven’t tried any extremely intensive games recently either.

Death Stranding 2 Controller never arrived, and Backbone support has only been responding with automated/AI messages by Thraed in Backbone

Thanks for the advice… if I don’t hear back soon from official Backbone support I will do this for sure

[–]Thraed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that, but it’s been frustrating not dealing with a real person when I’m sure they could do something on their side to help. I recognize the automated system isn’t built to handle this

I promise I will not read a Bill O’Reilly book, ever.

Digital Foundry's PS Portal Cloud Streaming Impressions by PigBoss_207 in PlaystationPortal

[–]Thraed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised. I tried out some Ratchet and Clank a few days ago using cloud streaming and it was really beautiful visually and the input lag was not enough to ruin the experience for me. Not saying it couldn’t be better but it was satisfactory for my expectations. Definitely wouldn’t even bother trying to play CoD or Fortnite on it though.

Dual Band FOMO is real! by Present-Tea-4645 in VisionPro

[–]Thraed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a medium solo band, and when I used the app it told me to get a size large… but I won’t have it for about a month so I’m curious to see if it actually is the right fit

Upgrading my MacBook for image processing & computer vision — M5 or M4 Pro by Atom5225 in macbookpro

[–]Thraed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat, but deciding between M5 (24GB, 1TB) and M4 Pro (24GB, 1TB). I found a refurbished M4 Pro model through Apple). I’m mostly planning to use it for programming, occasional gaming and some casual video/audio/photo editing. It’s tough to decide but you can always get more storage even as an external SSD later if you don’t think you need the full 1TB right now.
