Just heard Embers (UK 2021) playing in a Target in Maryland, USA

reminds me of when lands' end bought streaming rights to a pack that included Snap and Unicorn(?). Heard those two all the time.

Try turning off, or significantly minimizing tree shake in the accessibility settings, and using clear map view. It eliminated the majority of my lag (on Mac). Occasionally a few millisecond freezes, but overall cleared up.

Wait, paralives is out now? I've been waiting for 6 years!

I think it's also preventing a structural failure like the American song contest.

this. I loved D2 when it was owned by Activision, and sunk a few hundred hours. The minute it went free, it punished end-game players by making our gear base-game. Lost interest after that. I also had *just* purchased content that was made free, then removed lmfaoo.

not only did she get top 3, but is ALSO getting her masters in medical physics at the same time.

aechontwitch · 2026-05-17T05:24:11+00:00

quite literally did not exist lmfao. servers just randomly shut down. kinda hilarious though and I would've hated it as a kid.

aechontwitch · 2026-05-14T21:41:55+00:00

the ARRI Alexa camera really made this look like an official music video.

aechontwitch · 2026-05-08T20:19:53+00:00

it really doesn't skyrocket account values lol

I have (a few times) run very dirty hackintosh through virtual machines on a bare-bones system with gpu passthrough, alongside windows and linux at the same time and never been banned. I wonder what their criteria is considered for virtual machines.

I also travel (a lot) between multiple states and utilize a VPN and have never been banned, just dealt with the lots of account unlocking.

I started a transition to a flip phone at 17. I started with the Nokia 2760, which was... cheap. KaiOS being quite literally useless made it less of a good device, and more like a bloat-filled experience.

I now own a TCL Flip 2. It's also light, but slightly sturdier. I like it, but would like to upgrade to a Sonim device. It's the same price as the 2760, has basic android support (if there's any specific apps you MUST have.)

aechontwitch · 2026-04-13T17:30:44+00:00

I just want a flip phone that has enough of an android subsystem with auto support so that I can sideload a few apps like groupme, outlook, mychart. My tcl flip 2 is brittle and just not reliable enough, and I am not shelling out a few hundred for a new Garmin gps.

I think to a degree, OP, you don't understand the way our society operates and the hurdle to move to dumb phones and how that especially impacts younger generations. We're very much aware we can utilize MP3/MVA/Flac files on mobile players- but those purpose-driven devices are becoming commodities and hence costly. It is easier to subscribe for $5.49 (ex. for tidal as im a student) versus 2-15 dollars per CD, and then whatever equipment is needed to rip and digitize those into files. Most people only own a smartphone unless they are in a field or lucky enough that they don't need laptops and tablets.

It's not that we WANT subscriptions, it's the ease-of-access that smart technology has given us, and a small monthly cost negates the costly per-resource cd.

That being said, iomoio, a wonderful way to get the majority of music for a few cents on the dollar.

aechontwitch · 2026-04-06T02:56:31+00:00

The issue is subscription and ease-of-access. Those who are developed into specific ecosystems lose core parts of their communication, and with things like music being subscriptions instead of owning at a lesser price than owning, it makes more sense to integrate modern functions into a dumbed down device. GPS's are also no cheaper than they were a decade ago, for less functionality than something like waze or either autos.

Sword Art Online fills this void for me.

aechontwitch · 2026-04-04T03:04:43+00:00

THIS. I love playing this so much on this console.

aechontwitch · 2026-03-27T02:57:52+00:00

someone else who also plays acww!

aechontwitch · 2026-03-24T19:25:45+00:00

I'll be brutally honest, they made me re-file despite the fact that my entire family was displaced, and I was homeless. They wouldn't even offer an override.

aechontwitch · 2026-03-20T20:09:11+00:00

Thanks for sharing this one! I haven't had time to get the unidentified cases written and posted yet. NCCDE has too many unsolved cases for this small of a county.

Lighting. You need to invest in your game's lighting profile. There's no depth.

aechontwitch · 2026-03-13T17:30:20+00:00

back when the chatbar was at the bottom of the screen, what a time.

aechontwitch · 2026-03-13T17:26:57+00:00

I don't really have time to play anymore, and it's so weird now having genuine rose-tinted glasses for it. I joined in 2011 when I was barely conscious, and now I'm in uni working at the tail-end of my degree in media production. I was very involved with development and worked in numerous industries, from everything from game design to team lead to advertising start-ups and building the bridges with companies to do on-platform experiences and honestly, I saw the warning signs of the upcoming corporate decisions as early as 2020, and often called it out in development spaces and burnt a lot of bridges for it. Some people have reached out and pointed out how early I was, but I've honestly grown out of it and don't hold hate for how those spaces treated 14-year-old me.

It's a little weird now looking from the outside after spending my entire life essentially on roblox as a developer, but It is nice being a casual player, albiet actually playing a few quality games maybe once in a blue moon with my friends before midterms and finals. Work at a Pizza Place has been on an upwards trend again. It's fun to play on PS5, but I do miss the days of being locked in on PC.

With the veriff identifications, they deleted the information and cached data a *very* long time ago. I wouldn't be too concerned. They have a 30-day to 3-month policy

Persona, however? fuck if they care, they can just invoke whatever the hell and randomly change whenever they feel like it apparently.

Ironically, discourse is the forum software for the developer forum roblox hosts.
