  • To those with 2+ monitors on your machine: What's your use case, and how much does it actually boost your productivity?

  • I'm curious what game. My feeling is it must be something with a constantly changing economy?

  • What's the worst scam you've fallen for (or gotten close to falling for)?

    Jump

  • Curious what would have happened if you just stopped at $30 up (also remember, $ before the number; ¢ after)

    Was the $30 paid into your account, or in the form of a check or something?

  • Tell me what it means

  • Make any VHS highlight reels?

  • Why don't we have one timezone covering the whole earth?

    Jump

  • I think they mean concepts like morning and evening, or day and night would remain. The difference would be that in London, midnight would be 12:00am, but in San Fransisco, midnight would be... 16:00 / 4:00pm. Each timezone would have to adjust the numbers, in the same way the southern hemisphere considers January to be in the summer.

  • Congratulations. You played yourself

  • In the case of peppers, birds are immune to the effect of capsaicin. It strikes me as an evolutionary way of ensuring your seeds get spread as far as possible, by something that flies.

    Could just be chance, though, I'm no expert.

  • YouTube is slowing down for users with ad blockers in new wave

  • Not at all a solution, but worth mentioning that in a YouTube URL you can replace /shorts/ with /v/ and get the normal player for the same video.

  • That's a different situation though. A green arrow means you have full right of way to make the turn. Right-on-red is more like a stop sign.

  • World of Goo 2 - Official Trailer 1 - YouTube

  • Man, I just didn't get Little Inferno. Glad some folks enjoyed it, maybe I just didn't understand what to do really? Oddly enough, the theme song pops in my head sometimes.

  • You'll learn pretty quickly how just aperture affects a photo, in how much depth of field you have. The part that's more nuanced is figuring how zoom plays into that as well. Zoom also compresses the depth in a shot, so to speak. The most extreme version you'll see is towns with mountains towering above them that seem like they're in the back yard, but there's really a ton of distance. It just looks almost flat because the photographer is using a really long lens.

    There are apps/calculators that will give you the depth of field for any given focal length and aperture, but I found it to be a lot of trial and error when learning how the various settings work together.

  • I'm using a set of klipsch 4.1's as we speak, and used to drive them with an Audigy 2.

  • Why does lemmy have it, so any link takes you off the page instead of opening in a new tab or window?

    Jump

  • It also has a light mode now. I know that was a drawback for some folks when it was first being mentioned.

  • I can't decide about that. If I'm the meme, and it's telling me I'm the meme, should the text be readable by me? Or by the person looking at me? And if they can read the text, does it mean they're the meme?

  • Golden Daydream - song written, performed by suno.ai

    Jump

  • Man, I find it to be unsettling. Maybe it's hooking into a sort of auditory uncanny valley, or maybe it's just knowing that it's all "fake". The way different portions of the song are mashed together, missing a beat, is sorta interesting. It's like pasting together text a piece at a time, only it's missing the paragraph breaks and instead if just mashed together.

  • I read that any NPC/Quest that required this before will now be visible to living players. I think in the case of the BRD one, the NPC will himself appear as a ghost to living players.

  • Hawken

    I still feel like this had one of the best atmospheres in gaming. Something about it felt so visceral. I had such high hopes of playing it in VR eventually, but by the time VR really came out, Hawken was already dying away.
