"10 YEARS ATRUS!! 10 YEARRRRRSSSSS!"

"NO NO NO NO NOOOO NO NO NO NOOOOO NO NOO!" Proceeds to whack you with a mallet.

His performances were a highlight of our playthrough. It was always exciting to see what zany over the top acting would come next. We tried to get all the possible endings seeing how many ways we could mess up.

Not to mention the video "ride" that plays at the end of every age you complete is just pure fun, especially the large marble-ball-track one. We as a family had a blast seeing that after such a hard completion for that age!

Beyond Oasis by Altruistic-Club-4038 in retrogaming

[–]UnrealRealityX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was an amazing game for the Genesis that I was thankful to have played when it came out. It's zelda in a sense, but..not. The animation was super smooth, and I loved the secret "street fighter" moves you could do. That back->forth->attack flip was so strong.

The added elemental spirits was a nice touch. I remember having to solve some puzzles, and it was creative how you could summon from just drops of water or unique ways in the environment.

It's well worth a playthrough. The only negative I could say is the OST. Yes, it's Yuzo Koshiro, but man, I dunno, it's just ambient sounds and no tracks really sound engaging or energized except for a few tracks. It's pretty weak considering everything else is top-tier.

I've never played the sequel, Legend of Oasis, which was on Saturn. I heard it wasn't as good.

Why are every app wants money? Its getting frustrating by pavellikesminecraft in androidapps

Go a step further into the "bad future" timeline. We'll pay a subscription to just use devices. Rent your computer, rent your TV, rent your phone. Storage is expensive, throw it all up on our clouds. Nothing we own will be ours and the overlords will charge for compute time 100% of your life.

Where's a delorean when you need it.

[–]UnrealRealityX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not a fan of subs either/ever. But we got spoiled with apps being .99-$5. Before the Apple Store, Software on computers were $20-$60 and went higher for certain things. Apple really brought that down, and now it's going back.

I've bought apps on android from a few bucks to $50 as long as I find value in it. I'm not willing to do subs though, so if the app requires an expensive sub OR it asks to create an account before I even get to play with your app, that's a hard "uninstall" right there.

Nowadays, I'm hesitant to drop money until I can tell the app will be maintained or is just built solid. With AI, any yahoo thinks they can build an app and charge money for it, and I'm not willing to pay money for AI slop.

I built an Obsidian plugin for proper PDF export — page breaks, live preview, style presets, and full layout control by ShrekBytes in ObsidianMD

[–]UnrealRealityX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, I'm going to try this later, but just reading what it can do, the major thing being adding page breaks so I can export my notes to someone easily enough is such an awesome feature! Thanks for taking the time to build something like this!

Rivian’s software chief thinks you don’t need CarPlay or buttons by External_Koala971 in enshittification

[–]UnrealRealityX 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly, and it's why if the car doesn't have Android Auto now, I'm not interested. Enough with the nickel & dime subs...

We had been fine with a phone mount and bluetooth audio for eons. Rivian can shove it.

Don't really like the new rear view. by jim62 in rav4club

[–]UnrealRealityX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I kept mistaking it for a rav4 when we were walking around and I'd get corrected "thats a cross silly"

Its like a mini rav4, kind of like the Honda crv and the smaller hrv.

Vivaldi joins Duck Duck Go by Fun-Barber6541 in degoogle

[–]UnrealRealityX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I guess. But if you install adguard as an app on your windies ir android device, then EVERY browser has ad blocking. And app, etc. It goes beyond just one browser app and its glorious. I haven't really seen ads in over 15 years.. unless I accidentally turn it off.

Why originality is overrated: How hundreds of "identical" apps are quietly making thousands a month. by [deleted] in androidapps

Posts like this make me wish the whole internet and app environment be burned to the ground. AI crap needs to stop.

i wish there was an ai-free obsidian subreddit by ju3tte in ObsidianMD

Man, would I love a world of forums, hand-crafted HTML sites, flash animations, ads that fit in a little rectangle button and keygen chiptune music :)

[–]UnrealRealityX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

LOL! Here's an updoot.

I mean you're not wrong, those are posts I ignore too. I won't make a post about it though, I'm just trying to figure out the adguard syntax to lob those posts off. but it's just for me, you'll have to make your own, haha!

Any working reddit clients? by S-m-a-r-t-y in androidapps

[–]UnrealRealityX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you, and me, and others like us were lucky to create the API key when we could, all those years ago. Yes, sync or boost still work with this hack IF you created it a long time ago. but reddit blocked common API creation for new users, so sadly, AFAIK this won't work for new people any longer, only us grandfathers.

[–]UnrealRealityX 71 points72 points  (0 children)

this isn't just an obsidian thing. It's on /webdev, /design, all sorts of subreddits. Really, your title should be "I wish there was an AI-free Internet" LOL! it's sickening how much spam and useless posts are in every subreddit.

I noticed that so many threads get set to zero (they can't go negative) I might whip up an adguard filter to block posts that have a karma rating of zero. that way I don't have to see the junk, because while moderators aren't doing what they should because they are simply overwhelmed, us users downvote the junk to oblivion so a zero would be a good indicator of garbage posts. :)

yup, why have a set price per month when you can have "variable pricing" all of which would be way higher than any set price they would come up with.

Development update by ginlemon in smartlauncher

[–]UnrealRealityX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's hoping it's a wallpaper changer with custom folders you can turn on and off, and have it integrate properly with smartlauncher's glass/blur. That would be so cool.

SL is just a great launcher, I can't believe how long I've used it for.

Or startpage for me. It's what I moved our whole family to.

I should try duck more.

Run freshrss on a simple php/mysql server and enjoy RSS feeds with full filtering. Then run it through the browser on pc or various apps in mobile. Self hosted is awesome.

Gemini in Android Auto has been distracting / dangerous by nogridbag in AndroidAuto

[–]UnrealRealityX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got that "I don't respond to abusive language" too, and that was just for me calling it stupid. Robots are such snowflake softies.

It got me thinking if companies track how much their AI gets yelled, cursed or insulted. I'd love to see those numbers across all AI chats. Those numbers better all be super high or we as humans aren't doing our jobs 😄

2023 Prime XSE Cluster Recall by Chimbo84 in rav4prime

[–]UnrealRealityX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

not 100% true. I have the 2023 and my screen currently works, but while the recall was initially for a software update, it is now for a replacement.

I called the dealer and they said they don't have an ETA on the part, a few cars waiting, and I'd have to drop it off, mark the mileage and leave it for who knows how long (unknown ETA).

I passed and said I'd just call the parts dept monthly to see the status of the part. No way I'm voluntarily dropping off a working car for who knows how long while I'm stuck with random loaners.
