We're just back in the Vettel era of Red Bull. Did we get stupid articles like this when Mercedes was absolutely dominant for 7 whole years too? Or the Schumacher years? Go tell Ferrari to get their head out of their ass and make an actually good car so someone else can challenge.

 

I haven't used kbin much this past week, but over the last day or so I noticed I haven't seen the "login bug" happen anymore. I can leave a tab open and still come back later and upvote, boost or comment on posts without the page giving me an error and asking me to re-log in.
So, I don't know what our guy ernest did, but let's give him some recognition and appreciation for actually fixing it! At least for me, it seems fixed. Anyone else noticed it?

The last few years of remasters have amazed me with how much they HAVEN'T added emulator features even when the game is blatantly being emulated. Some of them miss save states or practice modes (particularly shmups) or proper key rebinding on the controller. I have 6x more buttons than the game originally needed, let me actually use them.

It's been happening so much I think this is the first comment I try writing here in about a week. You say 20% but for me it's more like 80% chance of it happening, sometimes when the tab has been open for just a minute. I've been just using my Lemmy account much more, even if it lacks several features I like about kbin.

I have pretty much all of them except iRacing and rFactor. I tried rF2 one time on steep sale and the game not only didn't properly recognize and configure my wheel, it also installed with literally zero content for me to try it with.
And before someone comes in with the "but once you set it up it's da best and..." No. I won't. I'm happy with my 300GB of Assetto mods.

I also don't preorder, and I DO buy basically all FromSoft games on release because I know they'll be bangers. But I've been burned before with Dark Souls 3 suddenly increasing in price by 50% in my region right before launch. I'm torn. I guess I'll wait and see, again.

Ah, NOW they want to boycott the game?

Who'da thunk a browser made around crypto shit would do such a thing. I only use this browser on my phone because of the ad blocking to open links people send me, I should just get something else. Does mobile Firefox get proper ad blocking?

Haha, I'm in a very similar situation. Picked up my old Ibanez for the first time in a long while and now that I'm in my 30s I'm looking for an upgrade. Guitars I've been looking at, mostly, are the Ibanez RGA-42FM, and the LTD SN-200HT and at a higher step, the LTD H-200FM. They're all very similar guitars to what I'm personally looking for, but they might help you get some ideas.
I'm sick of having to fiddle with the Floyd Rose on my current guitar, and I don't really want another Superstrat, I never use the middle pickup ever. So I went straight into these fixed bridge double humbucker guitars, but with coil splits (all 3 of them have it) for versatility.
I'm also looking into Telecaster-like models, and these are almost always pretty good across brands, and you can still play metal on them even with single coils.

Oh wow that looks great! Love the contrast between the black of the body and the pink of the flowers. Also I love the irony of playing heavy fucking metal out of a Telecaster shaped body.

I cannot state a "FUCK YOU" big enough to reading those quotes from these devs. Screw all of this always online DRM bullshit. This era of gaming is irrepareably impossible to preserve for the future.

Emulators or just straight up portable platforms like a Nintendo Switch, are the one grace for gaming on the go. I've given up on phone games too.

 

You know what fucks me up? The fact that several different #Fediverse platforms can seemingly talk to each other seamlessly, even the ones that seemingly were not even meant to talk to each other. Stuff on #mastodon is visible here on #kbin. My account from a #Lemmy instance can see my other account on #CalcKey. There's several different "not-Twitter" services each with their own interfaces and instances, and they all chat with each other. I can feel my brain expanding as I learn all of this.

 

So, if I'm following correctly, Lemmy currently is experiencing a massive wave of bot registrations, and now about 800 thousand new registered accounts across several different instances are bots. What is kbin doing to prevent that, other than just being somewhat smaller and not picking up as much attention?
