Chozo,

That number is not the DbD team, but the Behaviour studio as a whole. DbD is their main breadwinner, but they also have several other active games that they maintain.

Chozo,

The fact that the US allows companies to flat out steal your device during a repair process is insane.

The US doesn't allow it. Google won't keep your phone; they'll just refuse to service it. They had that line in their TOS for their own protection for weird scenarios, but they're not going to keep your phone. Why would they? It's broken and full of parts they can't use; they're not going to just let it occupy space in their warehouse, they'll send it back.

This whole thing is an absurd overreaction to a poorly-written line in a TOS that has never even been enforced.

Chozo,

Why should they do that? If they decide it's a better use of their resources to swap the entire device than to repair the original and ship it back, why would you be opposed to that? You're getting an entire new device out of the deal and coming out ahead with new hardware (and possibly upgraded hardware, if there have been manufacturing revisions since your original purchase).

If it's a matter of your data, it should always be assumed that you will lose 100% of your data when you send a device in for repair, no matter what the repair is. There's always a chance that they need to replace a component containing the storage, that your device has to be reset to defaults after a part has been replaced anyway, or that it just straight-up gets physically lost in the mail. Backup before sending in anything for repairs. Why anybody would put an un-wiped phone in the mail in the first place, is beyond me.

Chozo,

"Skibidy" predates this song by a long shot. It's a common vocalization used in a lot of scat singing, so it's possibly a century old at this point.

Chozo,

Ohhh, I gotcha, I think I misread your earlier comment at first, my bad!

Chozo,

It won't gain traction until there's content on it people actually want to watch. The best app developer in world could make a Peertube app tomorrow, and it wouldn't mean anything to the 99.999% of people who aren't interested in watching 2-hour seminars about Linux kernel.

Chozo,

Come back tomorrow when the Caturday crowd is around, and Cat Lemmy will be poppin' off.

Chozo,

Inflation is literally the point of the meme. If you didn't realize that, then you're proving your second sentence to be true.

Chozo,

Maybe because it's a meme.

Chozo,

Oh wow, I had no idea there was a version older than the Rockwell version.

Chozo,

Tip for the Shriekers: At the extraction point, there's a huge pillar that's in the very center of the map. If your team stands right up against this pillar with their backs to it, the Shriekers will not be able to divebomb you. I don't know if this works with every wall that you can back yourself up against, but it definitely works on this tower structure in the center of the map. Everything on the ground will still reach you here, so on difficulties where you have Chargers and Bile Titans coming at you, this strat won't do any good. But at level 4 and under, this is a very easy way to get everybody onto the Pelican.

Chozo,

Wind Waker is definitely my answer whenever this question pops up. It's one of the few fully-3D games from that era that still holds up moderately well today. A lot of Gamecube games definitely look like Gamecube games when emulated with out-of-the-box settings, but Wind Waker looks like an indie game that could've come out last year when emulated.

The Zelda art teams really are masters at their craft.

Chozo,

Ah cool, now I get to watch Mizkif do unban requests for the whole platform.

Chozo,

The PS5 came out at the start of a chip shortage. The Steamdeck came out as the shortage was resolving. That's hardly an accurate comparison.

Chozo,

Yeah, so Valve had 3 years to prepare while Sony basically launched at the same time as the shortage began. I'm not sure what the point is supposed to be; I think even the harshest Sony critics agree that there's not a whole lot Sony could've done differently given the circumstances. I mean, what do you think Sony could've done differently?

Chozo,

Sony literally did those things. I can't believe you're making me stick up for Sony of all people lmao

Chozo,

What third party are you talking about? OP in that thread is describing buying directly from Sony.

Chozo,

Sony's not set up to do business in those countries to begin with, so they're not really losing anything to piracy from those users. They've already had to issue refunds to buyers from those regions with the Helldivers fiasco, so it's pretty clear that there is something blocking Sony from selling games in those countries. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the required account linking is why Sony can't sell to those areas.

Chozo,

My modded RIF is still working, but I'm using a personal API key for it. Were these other apps that stopped working today also modded with personal keys?

Chozo,

I mean, aren't stiff animations true to the source material in this case? The stilted nature of the player movement of the original SH games are a big part of why I loved them, because you're not some combat-trained martial artist who can backflip and parry attacks, you're just a dude, armed with a steel pipe and depression, so of course your movement is going to be less than graceful. That said, the combat still looks way more fluid than the original game, though it's not quite as action-hero-ish as the western-developed SH games were.

I'm more concerned with the visuals. It's really tough to make a judgement on them, since YouTube's compression really chews up anything with foggy graphics, but it looks kinda rough so far.

Chozo,

I feel like you might have some things to work out if you think that's what dating is supposed to be.

Does the USA have any open market cellular options that are legitimate pay-as-you-go and only for what you use options like Europe yet?

I’ve lived under a rock for 10 years. I did Metro ages ago while most were still on contracts. Surely we’ve reached true capitalist open market freedom by now. Is it still total closed market, noncompetitive, privateering corruption?

Chozo,

I am on Fi and can confirm that this is how my plan works. I pay a standard rate per GB of data used, up to a cap where I will not be charged any more for the cycle.

Chozo,

Somehow I identify with both of these comments simultaneously.

Chozo,

It's also the hosting. YouTube has hundreds of hours of high-res video uploaded to it every single minute, and then has to process and mirror that content across its global distribution network. Just the hardware required to make that function, alone, is prohibitively expensive for any other contenders to enter this space.
