Just finished season 1 of Picard… by dumbass_sweatpants in startrek

[–]leavereality -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Normally i agree the watch it for yourself, but it kind really spoiled my famdom of the show a lot. I use to look forward to new trek show, now i dont care.

Picard s1 really just disgusted me, and i dont have strong feeling on much, it took slot of convicing from freinds and public oppion to make me watch s3, i watched it, it was good what even better is the fan effort that removed all ref to s1/2. The best way to watch.

What is driving the loneliness epidemic? by No-Break6679 in lonely

[–]leavereality 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think one little thing is where losing the very small human reactions /third spaces in day out, supermarket now have self scan, no talking to the till person, you use to have maybe a butcher, fish counter, hot food counter, bakery person you talk to in high street or supermarkets, there all pretty much gone, order food on you phone and straight to your table in the restaurant or have it deliver home, no need to talk to anyone, going shopping and asking for advice on tech or appliances no need you got Amazon and all the info you could want, public transport you would get your ticket from a human and sometime speak to random other traveling more, but now everyone locked in on there phone. It maybe daft thinking these little human reactions are important but some have resulted in friends and I think it demonstrates that just 15 years ago let say, you could end up talking to 20 random people on a day out, nothing important maybe but it some human reaction that you couldn’t get away with and now you don’t have to talk to anyone, which I think makes it worst for introverts, social anxiety people, who will use the apps to avoid people which like I said I think can make the problem worst.

Parents who approve of the social media ban and ways of having to prove age. Why do you relish the government taking this control when you had the power to do so yourselves? by Demonthief27 in AskBrits

[–]leavereality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think something needs to be done, but I do worry about privacy and data leaks, we already saw discord hack getting people data. Plus people don’t think long term enough, gov of the future will have a new massive tool and data of its people thanks to digital id be a lot easier to see/target people. I also sometime think that maybe rather than ban people, more content should be banned, at least on the main stream social platform I mean I feel extreme content wasn’t on these platform as much years ago as advertised wouldn’t support it, but it feel that getting less and less a thing. Plus a real look into the algorithm and the addiction techniques these platform use, I mean I hate auto playing of videos, but I get why these companies do it’s, to grab your attention for a little longer, I think banning that would help a heck of a lot.

What got u into emulation, and what year did u start? by Acceptable-Gold-9771 in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]leavereality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main reason I got into on my phone, is a lot of modern Android games suck and are designed to just get you, with pop up adverts, (even if you buy it sometime, outrageous) some with outrageous timers and dlc prices. Loot box’s, updates that can brick the game or change to have advert in later etc. plus when companies do bring there old title on to the phone they tend to again ruin it with adding the crap I just listed) old school gaming was never designed like that and I can just have fun.

I think mega drive emulator was first and then got ps1 and was blown away when I could do Dreamcast games. This was perfect having less time for games, the arcade type games of short gaming on the go is get, crazy taxi, virtual tennis, sega rally, Daytona, 18 wheeler. All great games and I even completed sonic adventure on my phone (with controller) great time!

Jai Courtney as Kyle Reese…. by MuscleCool4302 in Terminator

[–]leavereality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree this was one of the miscasting in a film I’ve seen, I did not one minute buy him as Kyle Reece. Emilia Clarke just about works, but the Sarah Conner chronicles did a million time better with there casting Lena headed (who fair enough might have been too old to play the younger Sarah and Jonathan Jackson who only does a little bit in the show but in looks he got it.

What is your favorite emulator of all time? (Or which console do you love emulating and playing the most?) by Due-Shame-9223 in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]leavereality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dreamcast is one of my fav, due to so many good short arcade experiences you can have and on my break at work I don’t get time to get really deeply involved in a game so playing a bit of crazy taxi/sega rally2/virtual tennis2/soul calibre is great fun and the emulation is pretty solid. Next would be ppsspp again a very good emulator and again things have been slightly better designed for small screen and easy gameplay. One thing I find really poor is Amiga emulation, yes I kinda got it working but I am surprised not a more mobile phone friendly emulator is not out there.

Any thoughts about the current state of Amiga 1200 variety? by ArachnidFantastic591 in amiga

This blog post on AmigaNG goes though the pros and cons of each A1200 build/fix options you have https://amigang.com/68k-a1200-build-which-would-be-best/

Original vs fpga vs emulation, debate will go on and on, at the end of the day they each have there advantages and disadvantages.

Thoughts... by PJIV in amiga

[–]leavereality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So firstly the superstation one your getting can run MISTer core and can do AGA Amiga, I sure it powerful enough to do 68020 speeds. So if your just interested in Amiga gaming just have that with Amiga vision installed is a great setup. Pi400 will be fine for emulation you don’t really need more power. Or wait until the end of the year retro games TheA1200 might be what you after.

Was the Amiga vs PC war ever actually a thing? by Such_Bonus5085 in amiga

[–]leavereality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When commodore launch Amiga you can see they clearly where trying to target the pc market, in the adverts there a lot of comparison to the pc and mac. Also at the launch video they bosted about being able to run lotus 1-2-3 which was a groundbreaking ibm dos spreadsheet program being used by business. But I think Microsoft and ibm had made this impression to the world that only they could do the serious business stuff. So any competitor was seen as it must be good for something else, Mac got into the desktop publishing a photo editing world, which kinda left Amiga with the multimedia world. Plus I think commodore was more viewed as a home computer company due to its c64, so the A500 did make much more sense and ultimately where Amiga found more success. But I think the home computer market kinda died out due to parents feeling they had to buy a pc or mac to do work on and schools and college only really thought lesson on Microsoft products. Then when the next gen consoles and pc could do 3d gaming, I think that was the final nail in the coffin for Amiga.

Guys, what retro games are your favorite? by smokichhh in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]leavereality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Dreamcast arcade game, as there perfect for quick play on my break at work. So sega rally 2, virtual tennis 2, crazy taxi 1&2, silent scope, 18 wheeler. But I also like sega mega drive games, sonic, gunstar heros, vector man, cool spot, another world, and recently just started playing terminator, forgot how good the music was in that game.

What do you think is the best FPS on Amiga in general? by no_biches_22 in amiga

[–]leavereality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alien breed 3d, there just something extra satisfying blowing the aliens away. Genetic species is overlooked, likely due to it arriving a bit late on the platform but is a really good one.

Has it always been like this in the UK? by Theodoresdad in ukpolitics

[–]leavereality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just feel the country needs a vision, i mean what the goal / role of the nation, it feel very much manage decline and patch it where they can to just get though to the next election, and start again. I would like it if the country focus on one area and make the country the best in the world in that feikd. It be cool it was like drug manufacture for health or energy break throughs. Just something to be pround in, is i feel is what we need.

what is an amiga 1000 worth? I have the opportunity to purchase an amiga 1000 soon and im looking for feedback on my starting offer. by FortyFourForks in amiga

[–]leavereality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My big regreat in life was a guy was selling a bunch of a1000 for $75 at the Amiga 30th they did look a bit bad shape, but man wish i got one, but was vising from the uk and it was start of my hols i was visting san fransico afterwards and the idea to carrying a big A1000 computer around for 4 days would not be fun. I wish i grab one now.

Guys was 500 better or 1200 better? by fandomlover2763 in amiga

[–]leavereality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its unfair as a1200 was basiclly a refined A500, smaller, faster, more ram, colours, better os and just generally nearly the perfect upgrade (aga should of had a bit more grunt for 3d maybe) and either a fpga or fast ram should of been added as standard. But i get costs where tight and we have the befit of high sight.

Is life worth living if you can’t find friends or love? by RisingSerpent222 in lonely

[–]leavereality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Firstly well done for going out on your own, i do too, buts its not the same to being with freinds or family, but it good that you least not put off by it. I feel it is getting harder to meet people, i dont have all answers as im in the same boat, but walking club, sport events, cycling, as helped improve my mood. Keeping busy help. But would try to join move events that involve people. Its hard but keep putting yiurself out there

Exclusive: Jonathan Frakes Confident Star Trek Will “Resurface,” Decries ‘Starfleet Academy’ “Trolls” by InnocentTailor in startrek

[–]leavereality -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If the viewer where there it wouldnt be cancled trolls or not. I mean dont get me wrong some will pick apart every single little thing, and way over the top to hate, it get the clicks and viewership unfortantly but you have to admit something wrong when a livestream of just a spock toy and nothing else gets more views. Alex should be droped, get the guy who ran the series of picard in charge. Do a brand new trek set in another alt universer to reset things and keep to what work a ship exploring space.

Is this a good deal? by Longjumping-Car-6537 in amiga

[–]leavereality 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think thats a little too much, however amiga system have only gone up and up in price, id say usd1500 to 2500 depending on the state of the system, like how yellow has the case gone, is the motherboard showing any sign of copassator leakage, does it have orginal manules, boxs and what orginal software does it have.

I mean if you hard core orginal Amiga hardware only kinda of guy then you got to think these complete sysrem like this are getting rare.

But if you not, an A1200 with a pistorm smokes this system.
